Hardware Installation Guide Toll-free: -800-0-00 Tel. International: 0--9898 Allure EC-Sensor Series: Space temperature sensors. Product Description. General Installation Requirements 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 or BACnet network. In addition, a built-in communications jack exists, allowing a user to connect a computer to the communication network without having to open the sensor s cover. In addition, through this communication 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 EC-Sensor, pay special attention to the following recommendations: - Upon unpacking the product, inspect the contents of the carton for shipping damages. Do not install damaged sensors. - Allow for proper clearance of device enclosure and wiring terminals for easy access, hardware configuration and maintenance. - The device is designed to operate under the following environmental conditions: Ambient temperature from F to F (0 C to 0 C) Relative humidity from 0% to 90%, non-condensing. - Ensure proper ventilation of device and avoid areas where corroding, deteriorating or explosive vapors, fumes or gases may be present. The device must be oriented with the ventilation slots towards the top to permit proper heat dissipation. Any type of modification to any Distech Controls product will void the product s warranty. Take reasonable precautions to prevent electrostatic discharges to the device when installing, servicing or operating it. Discharge accumulated static electricity by touching one s hand to a securely grounded object before working with the device.. General Wiring Recommendations Turn off power before any kind of servicing. - All wiring must comply with electrical wiring diagrams as well as national and local electrical codes. - To connect the wiring to the device, use the terminal connectors which are located inside the device s enclosure. Use a small flat screwdriver to tighten the terminal connector screws once the wires have been inserted. - The board connectors accept wires or flat cables ranging from to AWG (0.6-.60mm diameter) per pole. - It is recommended that all terminals be wired by 8AWG wire except for network communications.
