Hardware Installation
The ARControl should
always be installed according to the directions provided in this manual and in compliance with local
electrical codes and the specifications of the operating company.
Follow these guidelines when installing the ARControl:
• All personnel must read, and understand, the information in the User Manual before performing any operations related
to the product.
• Locate the unit out of traffic and working areas, away from excessive heat, and above areas where water and
liquids may accumulate. Visibility of the display will be enhanced if not facing direct sun.
• Measure the wiring distance. The ignition cable is restricted to a length of 25 feet maximum.
• Proper earth grounding per local electrical codes must be utilized in the installation.
• A switch or circuit breaker must be included in the installation. It must be suitably located, easily reached and be
marked as the disconnecting device for the equipment.
• If the BMS Module is used in conjunction with the ARControl it must be mounted externally of the ARControl in order
for the ARControl to remain regulatory compliant.
• When installation is complete, ensure that the enclosure is properly sealed and the fasteners are tight.
• Do not service in a hazardous area
• Disconnect and remove the battery during transportation or when the ARControl will not be operated for a period
of time.
• If the ARControl is used in a manner not specified by Cimarron Energy, Inc., the protection provided by the equipment
may be impaired.
Follow these steps to install the ARControl using spark ignition:
1. Locate and open the hardware kit.
2. Attach the mounting flanges to the back of the ARControl with the supplied hardware.
3. Holes will need to be drilled in the bottom of the enclosure to accommodate the cables and conduit to the unit.
4. Mount the ARControl via the flanges to a secure location and away from heat sources.
5. Mount ignition module assembly (1960-170) to or near pilot assembly.
