EC-Sensor-SOF

Product Description

The Allure EC-Sensor series of analog wall sensors is designed to interface with controllers of fan coil, heat pump, roof top and terminal heating / cooling
units. These sensors provide precision local temperature measurement with the capability of local setpoint adjustment, fan speed setting, and occupancy
override.
Each sensor in this series has internal communications terminals to connect it to a LON
exists, allowing a user to connect a computer to the communication network without having to open the sensor's cover. In addition, through this commu-
nication jack, an EC-Smart-Sensor-VAV can be used as a hand-held balancing tool to perform VAV airflow calibration.
The EC-Sensor's modern, alluring profile enclosure is suitable for classrooms, hotels, executive areas, office spaces and other commercial areas.
Mounting hardware with a separate sub-base is provided with the device for installation on a dry wall or on an electrical junction box.
This document describes the hardware installation procedures for the following device models: EC-Sensor, EC-Sensor-O, EC-Sensor-S, EC-Sensor-SO,
and EC-Sensor-SOF.
Unless otherwise indicated, the term EC-Sensor will be used in this document to represent all the models of the
Allure EC-Sensor Series.
For proper installation and subsequent operation of the device, pay special attention to the following recommendations:
£
Upon unpacking, inspect the contents of the carton for shipping damages. Do not install a damaged device.
£
Allow for proper clearance around the device's enclosure and wiring terminals to provide easy access for hardware configuration and maintenance.
£
Orient the device with the ventilation slots towards the top to permit proper heat dissipation.
£
The device is designed to operate under the following environmental conditions:
– Operating temperature from 32°F to 122°F (0°C to 50°C)
– Storage temperature from 4°F to 158°F (-20°C to 70°C)
– Relative humidity from 0% to 90%, non-condensing.
£
Ensure proper ventilation of the device and avoid areas where corroding, deteriorating or explosive vapors, fumes or gases may be present.
Any type of modification to any Distech Controls product will void the product's warranty
Take reasonable precautions to prevent electrostatic discharge to the device when installing, servicing or during operation. Discharge
accumulated static electricity by touching one's hand to a well-grounded object before working with the device.
