INSTALLATION GUIDE JP1 - JUMPER MUST BE INSTALLED ON PIN 2-3 = 4-20mA AND JP2 - JUMPER MUST BE INSTALLED ON PIN 1-2 = STANDARD IF A STATIC PRESSURE PROBE IS USED, JUMPER JP1 MUST BE SET TO POSITION 2-3 (4-20mA). OTHERWISE, JUMPER JP1 MUST BE INSTALLED IN POSITION 1-2 (STANDARD).
INSTALLATION GUIDE This section will inform the electrician on proper wiring and installation procedures for the controller. The manufacturer recommends that the following installation instructions be followed to as closely as possible, and that all work be performed by a certified electrician. Failure to do so may void the warranty.
INSTALLATION GUIDE General installation guidelines Controller It is recommended to install the unit in a hallway to limit the controller exposure to noxious gases. In order to avoid condensation problems inside the controller, it is recommended to install the controller on an inside wall. If it is not possible, use spacers to have an air gap between the wall and the controller.
INSTALLATION GUIDE It is also strongly recommended to install a backup thermostat system parallel to the controller module output (see figures 9 and 10) to supply sufficient airflow and heating. The backup system and alarm must be thoroughly tested and verified as working properly before using the ventilation system.
INSTALLATION GUIDE Connection procedure Detailed wiring diagrams Typical Sensor Wiring for Temperature Probes An inside temperature sensor should be located in the area which gives the most accurate temperature reading to achieve optimum ventilation. The sensor should be connected to the controller with a shielded two-wire cable.
INSTALLATION GUIDE Typical Feed Sensor Wiring Feed sensors (ex.: CSD-1 Current Switch Detector) should be mounted inside the controller enclosure with the feeder power wire running through the sensor loop. If a single sensor monitors multiple feeder circuit, run the wires from all feeder groups the same direction through the sensor loop.

INSTALLATION GUIDE Typical Power Backup Wiring A backup relay (DPDT) is connected to the power source 1 in normal operation but will switch to the power source 2 if source 1 is disabled. The backup relay should be selected to ensure it is able to support the required power load. FIGURE NO.
INSTALLATION GUIDE Typical Backup Thermostat Wiring If the controller or a module fails, the backup thermostats will activate the dedicated fan or heater as soon as temperature reaches the set point of the thermostat. The thermostat must be accessible for adjustment and must be set at 3 to 5 degrees above the fan’s set point or 3 to 5 degrees under the heater set point.
INSTALLATION GUIDE Typical V1 or V2 Module Wiring Those modules are used to add one or two variable outputs. The added outputs will follow the existing variable outputs of the VAR BOARD (X1204 or X1418). FIGURE NO. 11 Typical V1 and V2 Module Wiring X1243 VAR.
INSTALLATION GUIDE Typical Alarm Connection Wiring The controller provides a normally open and normally closed dry contact to set off an alarm in case low or high temperature condition occurs. Moreover, this same contact can be used to signal a power failure or other malfunctions. It may be connected to an alarm system or directly to a siren and/or auto-dialer.
INSTALLATION GUIDE Powering up procedure Once the controller is properly mounted on the wall and all modules and sensors are connected to the terminal block, perform the following steps: Verify all connections Seal all cable entry holes. Hermetically close the controller Close the front panel and the lower access cover.
