Wiring Wiring Tube connection on the pressure transducer Safety instructions Room pressure control – supply air Personnel: Skilled qualified electrician DANGER! Danger of death due to electric current! Danger of electric shock! Do not touch any live components! – Switch off the supply voltage and secure it against being switched on accidentally before working on the unit.
Wiring Notes on wiring Polarity of the power supply Use only cables that are designed for the supply When connecting the supply voltage, the polarity at voltage for which they will be used. The length and 24 V AC and 24 V DC must be observed for all con- cross section as well as any contact resistance may trollers! increase voltage losses.

When the zero point correction is finished, reconnect the measuring tubes. Adaptation of the actuator (only for fast-running actuator TUS) For air terminal units with TROX type HPD actuator (A00000067751), adaptation must be carried out during commissioning. This ensures that any incorrect position, e.g. due to shipping or installation, is corrected.

Commissioning For adaptation, the actuator moves to the end positions and then automatically switches to control mode. Functional test To complete commissioning, perform a func- tional test of the controller using the Easy- Connect software, taking into account the project specifications for the required oper- ating modes.
Maintenance Maintenance Zero point correction Safety To ensure continued accuracy of volume flow meas- urements, zero point correction of the diaphragm The system owner is responsible for operational pressure transducer is required in regular intervals reliability. (not required for controllers with expansion module EM-AUTOZERO).
Decommissioning Decommissioning Removing the electronic controller DANGER! Danger of electric shock! Do not touch any live components! Electrical equipment carries a dangerous elec- trical voltage. – Only skilled qualified electricians are allowed to work on the electrical system. – Switch off the power supply before working on any electrical equipment.
