The C1000 FlexIO is a general purpose HVAC controller whose inputs and outputs can be individually con- figured for use in various applications. Unlike most ProLon controllers, the FlexIO is not aimed at a specific HVAC sequence or piece of equipment, and instead can be used to perform any outlying functions that are not usually covered by existing ProLon devices.

The example below shows the switches 1, 2 and 4 on the ON position. So the corresponding values are 1, 2 and 8, giving an address sum of 11. (1+2+8=11) The ProLon network allows a maximum of 127 addresses, therefore 127 controllers. Figure 3 - Addressing Dipswitches...
The C1000 FlexIO Controller has two separate communication ports offering the same functionality on each. Both act as ports for incoming Modbus communications from other ProLon devices or interfaces, such as a Network Controller or remote computer with ProLon Focus software.
Inputs The C1000 FlexIO controller’s inputs can be configured to accept a wide range of signal types. It is important to note that if the chosen signal type is 4-20mA, an external 250 Ohm resistor will be required (see p.10). For the C1000 Digital Input, it can only accept contact signals.
Pressure, Gas or Humidity (Voltage Signal) The C1000 FlexIO controller inputs can be used to monitor the voltage signal produced by pressure, gas or humidity sensors. Please refer to Figure 4 for correct wiring. Note: When nothing is connected, the input will read the maximum possible reading. It is important to ensure that the sensor shares the same common as the C1000 so that there is no 24 VAC feedback sent back to the controller, which can interfere with the controller’s ability to maintain accurate analog input readings.
The C1000 FlexIO controller contains 5 customizable outputs; four triac ON/OFF outputs (24VAC) and one analog output (0-10VDC). Output configuration is performed via the ProLon Focus software. An integrated resettable fuse protects each of the outputs of the C1000 against current surges and short circuits.

The C1000 is actively powering the load. (see Figure 13) External Load Figure 13 - Connection of active outputs 3 and 4 2) Passive output (SINK).
Typical Connection of Analog Outputs Two types of configuration are possible: 1) The C1000 powers the load and provides a control signal (see Figure 15) 24 VAC power (From terminal block #2 of the controller) Controlled 0-10v 0-10v Load Figure 15 - Connecting the analog output (controller powered) 2) The C1000 only provides the control signal to the load, which is powered by an external source (see Figure 16) External...
Power Source / Network Power Source The ProLon C1000 controller is powered by a 24 VAC power source connected using the "COM" terminal and the "24 VAC" terminal (see Figure 17). The common for all inputs and outputs are the same as the power source’s common (exception: when an output is set to passive, the common for this output will not...
