    Mounting the Vesta Building Controller There are two ways to fix the Vesta Building Controller to the wall. The first is fixing it directly to the wall using the 4 mounting holes on the inside of the box (see picture 1). Remove the 2 covers on the top and bottom and fix the device to the wall with 4 screws.

  • Page 7: Connecting The Vesta Building Controller

    Connecting the Vesta Building Controller The inputs and outputs of the Vesta Building Controller are under the two covers and are split up in two parts. On the upper part all the sensors are connected. The lower part is for the relay outputs.

  • Page 8: Sensor Connections And Digital Inputs

    Installation instructions 1.2.2 Sensor connections and digital inputs All sensors are connected in the upper connection part as shown below. The next chapters will describe the connection for each sensor. 1.2.3 Wind speed sensors There can be 2 wind speed sensors connected. These can be the current type or the frequency type sensor. If the heated sensors maximum current consumption is 100 mA, the sensor can be connected directly.

  • Page 9: Wind Direction Sensor

    Installation instructions 1.2.4 Wind direction sensor There can be 1 wind direction sensor connected to the VBC. This one can be a current type or a digital sensor. If the heated sensors maximum current consumption is 100 mA, the sensor can be connected directly. An external power supply must be used, if the heated sensors current consumption is higher than 100 mA.
