Page 6: Scope Of Supply
Scope of Supply Heating circuit controller for surface heating and cooling Symondo Box 2 Replacement fuses additional separation wall for use of non-230V AC actuators DIN rail H=35mm L=280mm 2 screws 3,5 x 35 mm and 2 dowels S6 Symondo Box installation and operating instructions Installation Wall Installation Fix the DIN rail horizontally to the wall using screws. Installation 1. Place the Symondo Box on the upper edge of the DIN rail with the locking catch on top. 2 Engage the device by pressing it down. Ensure that the locking catches engage completely and that the device is firmly seated on the rail. Disassembly Remove the Symondo Box from the DIN rail by insert-ing two screwdrivers into the eyelets and pulling them down- wards. Separation walls and cover The separation walls and the cover can be removed for easier connection of the cables. They must then be reinstalled in order to safely separate areas carrying mains voltage from areas carrying low voltages. Open the cover (90° degree) and then pull it out of the side of ... -
Page 7: Electrical Connection
Electrical Connection Low-voltage cables such as temperature sensor cables must be routed separately from mains voltage cables. Before working on the unit, switch off the power supply and secure it against being switched on again! Check that there is no power flowing! Electrical connections may only be made by a specialist and in compliance with the applicable reg- ulations. The unit may not be put into operation if there is visible damage to the housing, e.g. cracks. The customer must provide an all-pole disconnecting device, e.g. an emergency heating switch. The strain reliefs are suitable for flexible cables with a cable sheath diameter of 5 mm to 8 mm, primarily using the lower strain relief (as shown). The cables must be checked for firm placement. Solid, thicker and thinner cables must always be laid firmly and must be fixed on the installation side. Massive wires or cables with special wire end sleeves can simply be pressed into the ter- minals. For other wires, the trowel must first be completely pressed on with a screwdriver as shown. Wire ferrules made of brass can be difficult to clamp due to their asym- metric crimping shape. In this case, remove the wire ferrule. The plug-in terminals are also suitable for flexible cables. ... -

Connection examples Symondo Controller Do not combine units designed for heating only (Symondo Controller/Symondo Box) with units designed for heating and cooling only (Symondo Controller/Symondo Box). Example 1: Line structure with Symondo Box as end point. A 120 Ohm terminating resistor must be set on the first and last device in the CAN network. Example 2: Line structure with Symondo Box in the middle. A 120 Ohm terminating resistor must be set on the first and last device in the CAN network. -

Page 14: Connection Examples 1-Wire Sensors
Connection Examples 1-Wire Sensors When connecting the 1-Wire sensors, please record the 16-digit 1-Wire ID and the location of the sensor for later commissioning of the system! The 1-Wire ID can be found in the device housing and in the device menu under: Devices -> Symondo Box -> Resources -> 1-Wire Sensor. Example 1: Line. The installation leads from one sensor to the next. A twisted pair cable must be used for the connecting cable. Example 2: Tree Structure. A twisted pair cable must be used for the connecting cable. -
Page 15: Connection Example Symondo Sensor
Connection example Symondo Sensor Example line: The installation leads from one sensor to the next. A twisted pair cable must be used for the connecting cable. The 1-Wire system must be designed with 3 wires (5VDC, DQ, GND). The total cable length can thus be up to 100m. A suitable twis- ted pair cable must be used and sufficient wire cross-section must be ensured, e.g. with LIYCY 2 x 2 x 0.75mm², in order to avoid impermissible voltage drop at the Symondo Sensor below U = 4.5VDC. -
Page 16: 1-Wire Id Overview
1-Wire ID overview For systems with 1-Wire sensors, you must assign the respective 1-Wire ID to a room on the Symondo Controller. Writing down the IDs in combination with the room in which the sensor hangs in the following list simplifies the later assignment. The 1-Wire ID can be found inside the sensor on the type plate (1) and on (1) the supplied sticker (2). We recommend to insert the sticker into the fol- lowing table.
