Electrical Installation

           CAUTION: MAKE SURE POWER IS DISCONNCTED TO THE HVAC EQUIPMENT BEFORE INSTALLATION

Verify voltage of circuit the GPS-FC-3T-BAS is being connected.

•  If 240VAC, see below “1. 240VAC Installation.”
•  If 120VAC, see below “2. 120 VAC Installation.”

1.   240VAC Installation:

•  Find a suitable location for the AVP-12-24. Secure it with self-tapping screws or double-sided tape.
•  Route the wires so that they will not short, abrade, or damage other components.
•  If not already done, connect the GPS-FC-3T-BAS to the low voltage side of AVP-12-24 (red and black wires) red to 

red and black to black.

•  Connect the high voltage side of AVP-12-24 (blue and brown wires) to the terminal block where the 240VAC 

wires enter HVAC unit.

•  Connect the orange wires to the Building Automation System wires or terminals (if present).  

If no BAS system is present, then 

insulate ends of wires and 

secure wires where they will not be 

damaged.

2.   120VAC Installation:

•  Find a suitable location for the AVP-12-24. Secure it with self-tapping screws or double-sided tape.
•  Route the wires so that they will not short, abrade, or damage other components.
•  If not already done, connect the GPS-FC-3T-BAS to the low voltage side of AVP-12-24  

(red and black wires) red to red and black to black.

•  Connect the neutral leg of power to the blue wire. Connect the line or power leg  

to the brown wire.

•  Connect the orange wires to the Building Automation System wires or terminals (if present).  

If no BAS system is present, then insulate ends of wires and secure wires where they will not be damaged.

Verification of Operation

Verify the GPS-FC-3T-BAS and wiring are secure and wired for the correct voltage. Restore power to the HVAC equip-
ment. The green indicator light on the FC-3 will illuminate. The BAS terminals will close. To verify output, take a non-con-
tact voltage reader and place it near the needles it should indicate voltage.

Maintenance

           CAUTION: MAKE SURE POWER IS DICONNECTED BEFORE SERVICING

The GPS-FC-3T-BAS requires very little maintenance. Over time particles will accumulate on the needles and they will 
need to be cleaned periodically. In most applications annual cleaning will suffice.

1. Turn power to the GPS-FC-3T-BAS off.
2. Gently brush the needles with a nylon brush (toothbrush will work).
3. Restore power to the GPS-FC-3T-BAS.
