When used in conjunction with RAMVAC electronic controls, the OWL provides monitor- ing, control, and displays alarms. The OWL is also flexible enough to provide start/stop functions for all other brands of utility room equipment. The compact, attractive, easy to mount control panel features an easy to read LCD screen, equipment control buttons, program navigation buttons, and LED indicator lights.

The OWL requires a 12v DC power source to operate. On most systems (see Schematic 1) the power source can be either the S1 Electrols or the air compressor C1 Control. If using the S1 or C1 for power, connect the 5 terminal on the S1/C1 to the 5 terminal on the OWL and the 6 These wires can be included in the wire bundle with the communication wires, but terminal on the S1/C1 to the 6 terminal on the OWL.

S1 Electrols or C1 Controller already in the system. On systems without an S1 or C1, a wall transformer provides power for the OWL Controller. In the system, the OWL is connected to one of the S1 Electrols mounted to one of the vacuum units or to one of the C1 Controls mounted to one of the CustomAir compressors.
(1). These wires can be included in the wire bundle with the communication wires, but will be connected to only one of the RAMVAC equipment controls in the system. (2). A separate transformer is used on OWL only if the 12VDC is not supplied by the S1 or C1. SOF_7.2.3-02-152...
