Hardware Installation Controller Dimensions and Weight Each SCX 920 is 14.7 × 10.7 × 2.75 in. and weighs 8 lbs. Power Requirements Caution The SCX 920 should receive power from its own independent, unswitched circuit. You can select a power supply voltage of 24 V, 120 V, or 240 V. You receive it set to 115 V.
Two pair gas tube arrester, Andover Controls # 01-2100-299 Building Ground Requirements Warning Be sure that all Infinity products from Andover Controls Corporation are grounded to true earth ground. This kind of ground protects the equipment from transients and other power surges in the area.
Environmental Requirements The SCX 920 operates in rooms with temperatures ranging from 32 to 120°F and with humidity up to 85%, non-condensing. The controller must be in an Underwriter Laboratories approved enclosure.
Hardware Installation Output Equipment Requirements The eight outputs on the SCX 920 are universal and can be wired to pro- vide direct digital control for virtually all electronic devices, pneumatic analog devices, and bi-directional motors and actuators. They can be wired so that you have Form C, analog (voltage or current), or tristate outputs, or a combination of them.
Hardware Installation Input Circuit Specifications Caution Andover Controls inputs are designed to be used with two-wire devices and do not provide sufficient power to operate sensors or transducers requiring an external power supply. The following specifications apply to SCX 920 inputs: •...

You may want to refer to this figure for assistance in locating parts during the installation process. 1. Turn over the SCX 920 and remove the screw in the center of the board. 2. Turn the controller face up and lift out the snap latches around the edges of the plastic housing to remove it from the printed circuit board beneath it.

See the Infinity CX 9000 Hardware Installation Guide for instructions. Setting the Input Reference Resistor Switches The inputs are on the lower left side of the SCX 920. To the right of the inputs are two DIP switches, with small switches for each input. Look closely at the switch and notice that each small switch is numbered.

Never apply a voltage to a thermistor. Doing so alters the thermistor’s accuracy and reliability. You should replace a thermistor that has had voltage applied to it. Never bring a soldering iron to within 3 inches of the thermistor’s sensing tip. SCX 920 Installation Guide Technical Manuals Online! - http://www.tech-man.com firealarmresources.com...
Hardware Installation The inputs are on the lower left side of the SCX 920. Input wires should enter from that side. Notice that the inputs are labeled RET, 1, 2, RET, 3, 4, and so on. The first return terminal goes to the first two inputs, the second to the next two inputs, and so on.
(such as slightly over 20 mA), you should choose a value slightly below the maximum resistance you calculate. For example, you calculate the resistance for 0 to 20 mA: × ----- - 1000 500Ω m ax SCX 920 Installation Guide Technical Manuals Online! - http://www.tech-man.com firealarmresources.com...
Wiring the Outputs Wiring Tristate Outputs The outputs are down the entire right side of the SCX 920. All output wires should enter from the right. Notice that the first output is labeled from top to bottom NC, C, NO, I, V, GND. The next GND starts the second output, labeled GND, I, V, NC, C, NO.
OUTPUT –ON Wiring Analog Outputs—Voltage The outputs are on the upper right side of the SCX 920. All output wires should enter from the right. You wire the outputs for voltage as follows: 1. Slip the appropriate wire under the V screw and tighten the screw down on it.
Figure 11. Wiring Diagram for Voltage Outputs > or = 4KΩ – Wiring Analog Outputs—Current The outputs are on the upper right side of the SCX 920. All output wires should enter from the right. You wire the outputs for current as follows: Caution Remember that the current sources to ground.

Connecting Modules to the Expansion Port The expansion port at the bottom center of the controller board allows you to connect modules to expand the capabilities of the controller. Contact your Andover Controls representative for more information on expansion modules. SCX 920 Installation Guide Technical Manuals Online! - http://www.tech-man.com...
Hardware Installation Powering Up the SCX 920 Warning Before powering up the controller, be sure the board is jumpered for the correct input voltage. Before you proceed, be sure the following are correct: 1. Be sure you have jumpered the proper input voltage.
OVERRIDE light remains steadily on. 8. If the CPU light flashes every .1 sec, it means the CPU has failed a RAM or ROM test. See the Andover Controls Infinet Controller Troubleshooting Guide. 9. The EXTERNAL +24V light turns on and remains steadily on.
The SERVICE PORT on the far left side of the bottom of the controller is to connect the Andover Controls Service Tool to a SCX 920. The ser- vice tool will access all SCX 920s and other Infinet controllers on the same network.
