ELF/D PREPARATION FOR USE

The ELF/D provides two separate linear analog outputs corresponding to measured airflow (or equivalent velocity pres-
sure) and temperature.  The airflow analog output can be set for either air flow or equivalent velocity pressure measure-
ment with four field selectable full scale range options.  Temperature output is set for a full scale range of 30 to 160°F
(-1.1 to 71.1°C).

Preparation for use consists of connecting 24VAC input power and analog output signal wires from the ELF/D to the BAS
interface, and if required, setting the ELF/D analog output CONFIG switch options (measurement mode, analog output
signal type and full scale measurement range options).

ELF/D INTERCONNECTIONS

The ELF/D is equipped with a 4-conductor plenum rated 18 AWG interconnecting cable for power and analog output inter-
face to customer equipment.  Connect 24 VAC power and analog output to customer interface as outlined in the follow-
ing paragraphs.  Refer to Figure 5 and the following ELF/D cable color code descriptions:

Red

24 VAC power

Black* Common ELF Power/Signal Ground (for 24 VAC and for analog output)

White

Airflow Analog output signal

Green

Temperature Analog output signal

*CAUTION

The ELF is equipped with a common 24VAC ground and common analog output signal
return.  EBTRON strongly recommends that the BAS control interface be connected to
each ELF analog output using TWO separate wires (twisted shielded pair) in order to
eliminate any potential voltage drop on the common (from the 24VAC return) that
would otherwise cause inaccurate readings. 

CAUTION

To prevent damage to the ELF, deactivate 24 VAC power source until all connections
to the instrument are completed.

NOTE

The 24 VAC input ground (GND) connection is shared with the analog output signal
ground.  If an isolated output is desired, a dedicated isolation transformer is required
to power the ELF.

ELF/D 24 VAC Power Connections

CAUTION

24 VAC power must be deactivated before making connections to the instrument.

The ELF requires a power source capable of providing 22.8 to 26.4 VAC at 5 VA.  Connect 24VAC power between the red
wire and black wire as shown in Figure 5.
