Input Wiring - Distech Controls ECB-VAVS Installation Manual

Input Wiring

Before connecting a sensor to the controller, refer to the installation guide of the equipment manufacturer.
£ For a wire length less than 75' (23m), either a shielded or unshielded 18AWG wire may be used.
£ For a wire up to 200' (61m) long, a shielded 18AWG wire is recommended.
£
The shield of the wire should be grounded on the controller side only and shield length should be kept as short as possible.
£
COM inputs (UIx) are internally connected to 24V COM.
Table 2 shows the available universal input (UIx) wiring methods
£
Dry Contact input.
£ Thermistor Input (for example, 10kΩ type II and III).
£ Resistive input, maximum 350kΩ (for example, use with 10kΩ and 100kΩ poten-
tiometers).
£
0 to 20mA input used with a 2-wire, 0 to 20mA sensor powered by an external 24
AC/DC power supply.
£ 0 to 20mA input used with a 3-wire, 0 to 20mA sensor powered by an external 24
AC/DC power supply. It is recommended to supply the external power supply with
the same 24VAC as the controller.
£
0 to 20mA input used with a sensor powered by its own power source.
£
Voltage input used with a 3-wire 0 to 10VDC sensor powered by an external 24
AC/DC power supply. It is recommended to supply the external power supply with
the same 24VAC as the controller.
£
Voltage input used with a 0 to 10VDC sensor powered by its own power source.
