Installation - ION Damper Control Installation And Start-Up Instructions Manual

S Remote Room Sensor (p/n SYSTXIIRRS01) — Any zone may
use a Remote Room Sensor (including Zone 1). This is a
temperature sensor only, having no additional user inputs. In
applications where zone temperature averaging may be desired,
this may be done using 4 Remote Room Sensors in a series /
parallel wiring configuration (See Fig. 11 for Remote Room
Sensor Averaging).
Be sure to select the desired sensor type for each zone. Zone sensors
other than the Iont System Control must be purchased separately. In-
stallation Instructions for these sensors are included with the sensor.

INSTALLATION

Step 1 — Check Equipment and Job Site
INSPECT EQUIPMENT—File claim with shipping company,
prior to installation, if shipment is damaged or incomplete.
Step 2 — Component Location and Wiring

WARNING
!
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury
or death.
Before installing sensor, turn off all power to unit. There may
be more than one power disconnect.
NOTE: All wiring must comply with national, local, and state
codes.
LOCATING IONt DAMPER CONTROL
All system wiring is run back to the Iont Damper Control. Select
a location near the ICP communicating furnace or fan coil where
wiring from the Iont System Control, each Remote Room Sensor,
each damper actuator, and the equipment itself can come together
easily.
The Iont Damper Control is approved for indoor use only and
should never be installed with any of its components exposed to
the elements. The Iont Damper Control (and the zone dampers)
may be installed in any area where the temperature remains
between - -4 F to 158 F (- -20 C to 70 C), and where there is no
condensation. The cover must be installed to prevent damage from
other sources. Do not locate where it will be accessible to children.
It may be mounted in either vertical or horizontal position.
Remember that wiring access is likely the most important
consideration.
CAUTION
!
ELECTRICAL OPERATION HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in equipment damage
or improper operation.
To prevent possible damage to the Iont Damper Control, do
not mount on plenum, ductwork, or flush against surface.
LOCATING IONt SYSTEM CONTROL WALL CONTROL
The Iont System Control is the command center for the Iont
Zone System. It should be located where it is easily accessible and
visible to home or business owner. It is also normally the Zone 1
sensor and as such needs to be located to properly measure the
temperature in Zone 1. If these two requirements conflict, a
separate Remote Room Sensor can be added for Zone 1.
When a Remote Room Sensor is connected to Zone 1 terminals
(ZS1 and ZS1C) of the Iont Damper Control, the system
automatically switches to using this sensor for Zone 1 and ignores
the sensor within the Iont System Control. This arrangement
allows the Iont System Control to be located at any convenient
place within the home or business. In this arrangement, only the
Zone 1 Remote Room Sensor must be located in Zone 1.
NOTE: The Iont System Control also controls humidity
functions. If the System Control is not used to control Zone 1
temperature, it must still be located in a suitable area where
humidity control will not be affected.
LOCATING SENSORS
For proper operation, each sensor must accurately measure the
temperature within its zone.
measurement, the following guidelines should be followed:
Sensor should be mounted:
S Approximately 5 ft. (1.5m) from floor.
S Close to the center of its zone, preferably on an inside wall.
S On a section of wall without pipes or duct work.
Sensor should NOT be mounted:
S Close to a window, on an outside wall, or next to a door leading to
the outside.
S Where it will be exposed to direct light and heat from a lamp, sun,
fireplace, or other temperature radiating object which may cause a
false reading.
S Close to or in direct airflow from supply registers.
S In areas with poor air circulation, such as behind a door or in an
alcove.
WIRING CONSIDERATIONS
Ordinary thermostat wire is ideal when wiring the Iont Zoning
System (shielded cable is not necessary). Use 20 AWG or larger for
typical installations. Lengths over 100 ft. should use 18 AWG or
larger wire. Remote Room Sensors require only two conductors,
but it is recommended that at least four conductors be run. This
will allow a Smart Sensor (when available) to replace the Remote
Room Sensor with no wiring changes at a later date. The Iont
System Control requires four conductors, each damper actuator
requires three conductors. Cut off or fold back and tape any
unneeded wires. Plan the routing of wiring early to avoid possible
problems later. Remember, all wires converge at the Iont Damper
Control, so its location is important.
NOTE: Wiring of the communications bus only requires a
four- -wire connection; however, it is good practice to run
thermostat cable having more than four wires in the event of a
damaged or broken wire during installation.
The following color code
communications bus connection:
DX+ — Green = Data A
DX- - — Yellow = Data B
C — White = 24 VAC (Com)
R — Red = 24VAC (Hot)
It is not mandatory that the above color code be used, but each bus
connection in the system MUST be wired consistently.
