Output Wiring

Output options must be properly configured in EC- gfx Program to ensure correct output values. The table below shows the controller's available output

wiring methods. For terminal block connector wiring best practices, see General Wiring Recommendations. Outputs can be connected as follows.

Before connecting an output device (actuator, relay, etc.) to the controller, refer to the datasheet and installation

guide of the equipment manufacturer.

For a wire length less than 75' (23m) long, either a shielded or unshielded 18AWG wire may be used.

For a wire length up to 200' (61m) long, a shielded 18AWG wire is recommended.

The shield of the wire should be grounded on the controller side and the shield length should be kept as

short as possible.

Control Output Type

Discrete 0 or 12VDC digital or PWM output controlling a 12VDC relay.

0 to 20mA current output.

0 to 10VDC voltage output.

0 to 10VDC voltage output controlling an analog actuator that is powered

by an external 24VAC power source.

Communications Wiring

The ECLYPSE User Guide provides extensive information and requirements to implement a BACnet IP network. It contains information about network

topology, wire length restrictions, cable type, device IP addressing, radio path planning (when the ECLYPSE Wi-Fi Adapter is connected to the con-

troller), etc. It can be downloaded from our website. For optimal performance, use Distech Controls category 5e network cable or refer to the ECLYPSE

User Guide for cable specifications.

Controllers are uniquely identified on the network by their MAC address. This identifier is printed on a label located on the side of the controller and on its

shipping box. Get a printed copy of the building's floor plan. During controller installation, peel the MAC address stickers off of the shipping box and put it

on the floor plan where the controller has been installed. This MAC address is used as part of the controller's factory-default Wi-Fi access point name

and its network hostname.
