NOTE: The LV1000 controller and FUSION-TEC wall-mount units are designed specifically to work together. The LV1000 controller cannot run other Bard models or other brands of systems, nor can other controllers run the FUSION-TEC wall-mount units. They are a complete system, and must be used together.

LV1000 Controller Figure 1.2. The LV1000 controller is part of the Free Cooling Unit system by Bard. It is used to control up to four (4) wall-mount air conditioners from one controller. FIGURE 1.2 The microprocessor control provides an easy-to-read LV1000 Fused Power Supply Terminal interface with large LCD graphical display.
2. Installing Remote Indoor Temperature/Humidity Sensor(s) One remote indoor temperature/humidity sensor and 35' of 18 gauge shielded cable is included with the controller. This sensor must be installed for proper operation. Mount the temperature/humidity sensor in a location least likely to be affected by open doors, rack-mounted fans, radiant heat sources, etc.
For proper operation, the remote indoor temperature/humidity sensor must be configured properly with the controller. If only the single remote indoor temperature/humidity sensor supplied with the controller is installed, the configuration setting is "0". This is the default setting. Up to two additional temperature and humidity sensors can be purchased and installed.

3. Additional LV1000 Connections There are factory-installed jumpers across terminals #8 and #9 (smoke detector), #10 and #11 (hydrogen detector) and #12 and #13 (generator run). Remove the factory-installed jumpers before connecting to the detectors and/or generator (if applicable). INPUTS LV1000 Connections Sensor Connections Description...
4. Communication Wiring Connect the communication wiring from the wall-mount units to the controller in the manner shown in Figures 1.5, 1.6 or 1.7. The communication wire should be 2-wire, 18 gauge shielded cable with drain. Any color can be used. Be sure to match "+"...

The steps outlined on the following pages show how to connect the communication wiring using the daisy chain method shown in Figure 1.5. If using the alternate method (as shown in Figure 1.6), the connections to the controller and each wall-mount unit will be the same but the filters need to be placed in the positions shown in Figure 1.7.

FIGURE 1.10 Communication Wiring: Termination at Additional Wall-Mount Units Unit 2 Terminal Block 9 10 16 17 – From Wall-Mount Unit 1 Route the cable from the first wall-mount unit to the terminal block of the second wall-mount unit. If this is the last unit to be connected, make a small service loop Wall-Mount Unit 2 and attach EMI filter as shown.
Figure 1.12. Failing to ground the controller box properly could result in damage to the equipment. FIGURE 1.11 LV1000-100 Controller Supply Wiring The controller requires a separate -48VDC power supply, an additional 5-amp DC breaker (field supplied) and minimum 16 gauge supply wire.

Humidifier Output The LV has the option to control a humidifier through a relay output. The output will close when a humidity call from the LV is active and open when the call is no longer present. The output can be configured to operate in reverse where the contacts will open when a humidity call is present and close when the call is no longer present.
CONTROL OPERATION FIGURE 2.6 Temperature Control Adjusting Setpoints Control Value Averaging The system requires one temperature and humidity sensor (included with LV) to operate. It allows a total of three temperatures and three humidity sensors to be connected to the LV for better representation of what is happening in the shelter.
