  • Page 11: Setting Up An Lcx 890 Series Controller And Infinet

    Setting Up an LCX 890 Series Controller and Infinet The LCX 890 family of controllers are lighting controllers, designed to connect to lights and switches that control those lights. You can have up to 24 relays for controlling lights, with or without the status feedback op- tion on an LCX 890 and up to 48 relays on an LCX 898.

  • Page 12: Site/System Setup Requirements

    Site/System Setup Requirements Before you proceed to install the system, you should map out where you plan to install each controller, terminal/workstation, and modem. When planning the sites, be aware of any electrical interference that may oc- cur. You also need to be aware of cabinet dimensions, power requirements, cable limitations, and environmental requirements.

  • Page 13: Controller Dimensions And Weight

    • 230 VAC +/– 10% 50/60 Hz • 277 VAC +/– 10% 50/60 Hz Each LCX 890 series controller consumes 115 VA of power. Cable Limitations The maximum cable length for all buses is 4,000 ft (1219 m) at 19,200 baud (up to 32 Infinet controllers).

  • Page 14: Lightning Protection

    Lightning arrestors are required at each point where a bus cable enters or exits a building. Use the following arrestor: Two pair gas tube arrestor, Andover Controls # 01-2100-299. 1. You can also use any cables you may already have in place for ACNET or LBUS.

  • Page 15: Building Ground Requirements

    Controls units respond to changes in potential more rapidly than poorly grounded electrical systems, a poorly grounded building tries to reach ground through the Andover Controls system. The surge of current can destroy electronic components on the controller board. Surges of much lower potential than lightning also impact the reliability of Andover Controls equipment.

    • Is connected using a small gauge wire (less than 14 AWG or 2.5 mm 2 ). 2. Be sure your Andover Controls cabinet is connected to the ground with a copper conductor that terminates at the distribution panel. Environmental Requirements All LCX 890 controllers operate in rooms with temperatures ranging from 32 to 120°F and with humidity between 10 and 95%, noncondens-...

  • Page 17: Input Requirements

    The motor load is 1/2 horsepower at 110 to 125 VAC or 1/2 horsepower at 220 to 227 VAC. Andover Controls relays are prewired for the LCX 890 series of control- lers and plug in to the 5-pin connector adjacent to each output.
  • Page 18 Digital Inputs The first 16 inputs on all LCX 890 controllers are digital, for switches. The controller can read the settings of these switches. All digital inputs have an input impedance of 220KΩ referenced to 5.000 V. Universal Inputs The last eight inputs (not including the EMX 170 port) on the LCX 890 or LCX 898 (17 through 24) are universal.

  • Page 19: Table 1. Wire Gauges And Corresponding Maximum Runs For Sensing Temperatures Up To 70 ×F

    Special Factors for Thermistors You could connect a thermistor to one of the analog inputs. To keep thermistor errors minimal, lay out your site so you can limit the length of wire runs to the maximum for the gauge wire you select. Table 1 shows the maximum runs for wires of various gauges to keep errors within .5°F, .25°F, and .10°F when sensing temperatures up to 70°F.

  • Page 32: Connecting The Ac Power

    Connecting the AC Power Warning Be sure the AC power cable is not connected to an electrical power source while you are wiring the controller, or you could receive an electrical shock that is life-threatening. The AC power connection is to the right of the lower part of every LCX 890 series controller.

  • Page 33: Selecting The Ac Input Voltage

    7. Do not close the AC power connection until you have completed the installation. Selecting the AC Input Voltage The voltage of every LCX 890 series controller is set to 115 V when shipped. To change the voltage, you must reset the jumpers to the right of the AC power cord connection.

  • Page 34: Wiring The Infinet To The Lcx 890/898

    2. Disconnect the jumper from E7 and connect it to E2, so it jumpers E1 to E2. 3. Remove the jumper from E4 to E3. Wiring the Infinet to the LCX 890/898 Note You must use shielded cables for Infinet to ensure compliance with the Class A FCC limits and to ensure reliable communications.

  • Page 41: Wiring The Inputs

    Wiring the Inputs Now that you have located the inputs, you are ready to wire them. Before you proceed, be sure you know which type of input you can wire to each terminal. The first 16 inputs on an LCX 890 or LCX 898 must always be switches and may not be any other type of input.

  • Page 42: Figure 10. Wiring Diagram For A Digital (Switch) Input

    Caution Follow the rules below when wiring inputs and outputs: • Never lay wires across the surface of the printed circuit board. You should bring input wires in from the left and output wires in from the right. • Bundle excess wires toward the back of the cabinet to avoid any contact with circuit boards.

  • Page 43: Figure 11. Wiring Diagram For Thermistor Input

    Follow these steps: 1. Loosen the screws for the first two inputs and their return terminal. 2. Slip the first wire for the first sensor under the input point screw for input 1 and tighten the screw down on it. 3.

    Wiring Four-Wire Momentary Switch with Status Feedback Adjacent to each output are four terminal screws that you can wire a momentary switch to. If you are wiring a four-wire device (one that gives status feedback), you wire it with up to 1,600 ft (487.7 m) of 20/4 AWG RSWIRE-3 (0.5 mm /4) (standard class) or RSWIRE-3P (for plenum applications), as follows:...
