Product Description
This document describes the hardware installation procedures for the ECLYPSE Connected System Controller. The ECLYPSE Connected System Con-
troller is a modular and scalable platform that is used to control a wide range of HVAC equipment, as well as lighting and power metering. It supports
BACnet/IP communication and is a listed BACnet Building Controller (B-BC). The ECLYPSE Connected System Controller consists of an automation and
connectivity server, power supply, and IO extension modules (see Table 2). This Connected System Controller provides advanced functionality such as
customizable control logic, Web-based design and visualization interface, logging, alarming, and scheduling.
General Installation Requirements
For proper installation and subsequent operation of each controller, pay special attention to the following recommendations:
£
Upon unpacking the product, inspect the contents of the carton for shipping damages. Do not install damaged modules.
£
Avoid areas where corroding, deteriorating or explosive vapors, fumes or gases may be present.
£
Ensure the mounting surface can support the controller, DIN rail, and any user-supplied enclosure.
£
Allow for proper clearance around the controller's enclosure, wiring terminals, and HOA switches to provide easy access for hardware configuration
and maintenance, and to ventilate heat generated by the controller.
£
The controller's mounting orientation must be horizontal with the controller's back attached to a vertical wall surface. Orient the controller with the
ventilation slots and power supply input terminal block connectors towards the top to permit proper heat dissipation. When installed in an enclosure,
select one that provides sufficient surface area to dissipate the heat generated by the controller and by any other devices installed in the enclosure.
A metal enclosure is preferred. If necessary, provide active cooling for the enclosure.
£
The controller's datasheet specifies the power consumption (amount of heat generated), the operating temperature range, and other environmental
conditions the controller is designed to operate under.
£
Ensure that all equipment is installed according to local, regional, and national regulations.
£
If the controller is used and/or installed in a manner not specified by Distech Controls, the functionality and the protection provided by the controller
may be impaired.
£
Equipment operated by an ECY-PS100-240 power supply must be wall-mounted or Din rail-mounted inside a supplementary enclosure rated as
IP20 or better that can only be accessed by trained personnel.
£
SELV (Separated Extra Low Voltage) inputs/outputs must be connected to other SELV equipment inputs/outputs.
Any type of modification to any Distech Controls product will void the product's warranty.
Take reasonable precautions to prevent electrostatic discharges to the controller when installing, servicing or
operating the controller. Discharge accumulated static electricity by touching one's hand to a well-grounded
object before working with the controller.
