MODGAS-X Technical Guide
Mounting the Supply Air Temperature
Sensor
The Supply Air Temperature (SAT) Sensor should be located
in the duct-work downstream of the unit supply air connection.
Locate the sensor in the center of the widest part of the duct.
Use the supplied template and a 5/16” drill to make a hole for
the sensor.
Install the gasket over the probe and mount securely to the duct
using the supplied sheet metal screws. Be sure the gasket is
compressed to provide an air tight seal.
For best accuracy, apply insulation on the outside of the duct,
over the sensor. This will help prevent thermal gradients from
affecting the sensor.
WARNING:
Make sure your Supply Air Temperature
Sensor is mounted and wired according to
these instructions prior to testing the unit or
else the modulating valve will not control
properly and may damage your equipment.
Stand-Alone Mode
In Stand-Alone Mode, the SAT Sensor is connected to the
MODGAS-X. If, in Stand-Alone Mode, the MODGAS-X is used
in conjunction with a Stand-Alone MHGRV-X module, the SAT
sensor is shared between the two modules and always attaches
to the MODGAS-X.
See
Table 11, page 34
for SAT Options Jumper Settings and see
Figures 2,4,5,6,7, and 8
for wiring. See
Table 10, page 34
for
details about retrofit applications.
Communications Mode
When communicating with AAON unit controllers, the SAT
Sensor will be connected to the AAON unit controller. The
exception would be in retrofit applications with older controllers.
See
Table 12, page 34
for SAT Options Jumper Settings and see
Figure 3, page 9
and
Figure 9, page 15
for wiring. See
Table 10,
page 34
for details about retrofit applications.
Notes:
1. Leads are non-polarized. Butt splice leads to 24-gauge wire minimum.
2. In Stand-Alone and retrofit applications, connect leads to “SAT and “GND”
on MODGAS-X.
3. If using a VCM-X, SA, RNE, or VCB-X Controller, connect leads to
“AI2” and “GND” on main controller.
4. If using a VCCX2 Controller, connect leads to “AI3 and “GND” on
main controller.
