OPTION 2 Instructions: Constant Setpoint with Modbus Wired Header Temp Sensor
Step 1: MODBUS HEADER TEMP SENSOR WIRING – ANY BOILER
Using the Modbus Transmitter provides gives the plant the ability to use the Backup
manager feature. This allows the any of the client units to become a Backup manager if
the manager unit is not communicating.
1. Connect the Modbus Transmitter terminal Pin B to the RS485+ terminal, and Pin A to
the RS485- terminal on the I/O Board of any Boiler unit, using shielded pair 18 - 22 AWG
cable.
2. Connect the Header Temp Sensor to pins 2 and 3 of the Modbus Transmitter using
shielded pair 18 - 22 AWG cable.
3. Install a jumper wire between pins 1 and 2 of the Modbus Transmitter.
NOTES:
•
Polarity must be observed for the RS485 connections.
•
Ground the shield to any SHLD terminal on the I/O Board.
•
The Header Temp Sensor must be installed between 2 and 10 feet (0.61 and 3.1m)
downstream of the last boiler in the plant's supply water header.
•
There is no polarity to be observed. The ground for the shield is at the power supply
ground. The sensor end of the shield must be left free and ungrounded.
