TROUBLESHOOTING

WARNING:
When using a single transformer to power more
than one controller or expansion module, the
correct polarity must always be maintained be-
tween the boards. Failure to observe correct
polarity will result in damage to the Main Chiller
Controller and its associated modules.
Please carefully read and apply the following information when
wiring the Main Chiller Controller, and its associated modules.
1. All wiring is to be in accordance with local and national
electrical codes and specifi cations.
2. All 24 VAC wiring must be connected so that all ground
wires remain common. Failure to follow this procedure
can result in damage to the controller and connected
devices.
3. Minimum wire size for 24 VAC wiring should be
18-gauge.
4. Minimum wire size for all sensors should be 24-gauge.
Some sensors require 2-conductor wire and some require
3-or 4-conductor wire.
5. Minimum wire size for 24 VAC thermostat wiring
should be 22 gauge.
6. Be sure that all wiring connections are properly inserted
and tightened into the terminal blocks. Do not allow
wire strands to stick out and touch adjoining terminals
which could potentially cause a short circuit.
7. When communication wiring is to be used to intercon-
nect Main Chiller Controllers together or to connect to
other communication devices, all wiring must be
plenum-rated, minimum 18-gauge, 2-conductor, twisted
pair with shield. AAON can supply communication
wire that meets this specifi cation and is color coded for
the network or local loop. Please consult your AAON
distributor for information. If desired, Belden #82760 or
equivalent wire may also be used.
8. Before applying power to the Main Chiller Controller
and its associated modules, be sure to recheck all wiring
connections and terminations thoroughly.
