Introduction This manual describes how to wire and configure various peripheral devices that are commonly used with CPC control networks. Each section gives a brief overview of the device and provides device specifications. Sections also include in- formation on installing (mounting and wiring) and configuring the device within the proper CPC controller (RMCC, BCU, BEC).

The RS232 Bus Amplifier (P/N 812-1800), shown in same wall outlet as the modem and local terminal. The Figure 5, is used to connect CPC products together as an RS232 Bus amplifier may be powered by 120 volts or 208 integrated communications system.
In general, the RS232 Bus Amplifier will be installed in isting refrigeration system in a variety of ways depending close proximity to the CPC controllers, modem, and local upon the relative proximity of the compressor racks, other computer terminal. Figure 6 shows this layout.
System Data From Lights The red SYSTEM DATA FROM light, shown in Figure 4, flashes when data are being received from a CPC con- troller or additional Bus amplifier. If no data are being re- ceived, the green light remains illuminated. These lights are associated with the TX input of each SYSTEM PORT.
The TERMINAL TO MODEM button, shown in Fig- ure 9, allows the user to disconnect the modem and local terminal from the CPC controllers. By pressing the TER- MINAL TO MODEM button, the user can either program the modem or communicate with another computer termi- nal.
Modem (P/N 370-9600) If a CPC bus amplifier is used in the network, the 535- 1015 cable is not used (see RS232 Bus Amplifier (P/N 812- 1800) on page 9). Figure 10 - COM C Network Connection Software Setup All newer versions of REFLECS software (RMCC, BEC, and BCU) are preset to use this modem without any additional setup.

Alarm Setpoint/Notice Setpoint The Checkit sensor continuously monitors the refriger- ation system for a temperature increase indicating low liq- uid levels within the system. The RMCC may be configured to generate an alarm and/or a notice when the measured Checkit temperature rises to a defined value.

Light Level Sensor (P/N 206-0002) Overview CPC stocks a low voltage light sensor designed to pro- vide input to 16AI boards. The light level sensor provides the controllers with information that allows controllers to switch lights on or off, or provide continuous signals to Figure 17 - Light Level Sensor Mounting electronic dimming ballasts for fluorescent fixtures.
Indoor Relative Humidity Sensor (P/N 203-5750) Mount the sensor as follows: Remove the two screws from the sides of the enclosure, and remove the cover. Mount the sensor to the wall using the two mounting holes near the flattened corners of the mounting plate (as shown in Figure 19).
Figure 20 - Relative Humidity Sensor Wiring Software Setup Input Board and Point Configuration Set up the relative humidity sensor by assigning the board and point address to the appropriate input. Refer to the REFLECS Installation and Operation Manual for more information.
Outdoor Relative Humidity Sensor (P/N 203-5760) Overview The outdoor relative humidity sensor (P/N 203-5760) comes in a weather-proof enclosure designed to be mount- " !´ ''(Ãp ed on an outside wall. The sensing element for the outdoor humidity sensor is a General Eastern bulk resistance type sensor.
