Specifications The CERV2 I/O Expansion Board increases the number of available wired auxiliary connections on a CERV2 system by 3 input channels and 6 output channels. This provides a total of 4 input channels (I0, I1, I2, and I3) and 7 output channels (X0, X1, X2, X3, X4, X5, and X6) for connecting wired external auxiliary devices to a CERV2.

Fan Interlock Wiring (Input) If the CERV is ducted along with another system, it may be desired for both system’s fans to operate simultaneously. This section indicates how to ensure that the CERV’s fans operate along with the connected system. Toggle switch for the channel should be moved to the EXTERNAL 24VAC SENSE setting.

Wired Switch (Input) A wired switch may be used to trigger ventilation (or any other input function) on the CERV. Toggle switch for the channel should be moved to the DRY CONTACT SENSE setting. Any number of switches maybe connected in parallel to a single input terminal.

Zone Damper Wiring (Output) Zone damper wiring requires 3 conductor wire capable of carrying 24VAC at 0.5A (thermostat wire is acceptable). The standard damper motor terminal block is three positions, with the first as a common, while the second and third activate the damper motor to turn clockwise or counterclockwise when voltage is applied.

Auxiliary Heater Wiring (Output) There are typically two configurations for Auxiliary Heater wiring – dry contact control, and 24VAC signal control. Consult the installation guide for the heater to determine which is applicable. Take note of the slide switch position for each configuration. WARNING: OUTPUT CHANNELS ARE RATED MAXIMUM 24VAC 0.5A.

Geo-Boost Wiring (Output) In order to control the Geo-Boost circulation pump via the I/O board, an external dry contact relay must be used with the pump’s power wiring. Recommended relay: OMRON G2R-1-T-AC24. Toggle switch for the channel should be moved to the 24VAC OUTPUT setting.

Fan Interlock Wiring (Output) If the CERV is ducted along with another system, it may be desired for both system’s fans to operate simultaneously. This section indicates how to ensure that the connected system’s fans operate along with the CERV. Toggle switch for the channel should be moved to the DRY CONTACT OUTPUT setting.
