INSTALLATION:

The PXVC model controllers require careful attention to 

the wiring diagrams based on the application to prevent 
damage to the equipment. Failure to follow the diagrams 
as presented may result in damage to the controller and 
voidance of product warranty.

Review the controller specific applications and select the 
application based upon your controller and application 
needs for additional applications contact factory.  Motorized 
Control Valve Applications are available in bulletin R649b

WIRING NOTES

 

(refer to controller specific applications 

for detailed diagrams):

The controller power pins 1 and 2 accepts 24 volts DC, refer 

to Hansen drawing Figure 2 for reference.

INPUTS / OUTPUTS

Digital Output #1 is set up for pulse width operation and 
requiring a 24-250VAC 3A power source. The output acts 
as a switch, stopping and starting the valve (pins 3 and 4)

Digital Output #2 is setup to be the user alarms and requires 
a 24-250VAC 3VA power source. The output acts as a switch, 
stopping and starting the electricity flow (pins 5 and 6)

The analog output control signal does not require a power 

source and should be connected directly to the Motorized 
Control Valve as shown in Figure 2 (pins 7 and 8)

Universal Input #1 must be setup to properly and when 
used as an analog (4-20mA) input a 24VDC power source 
must be applied to the sensor as indicated in the diagrams 
(pins 11 and 12)

(Excludes PXVC-PT) Universal Input #2 must be a continuous 
circuit (switch closed) to operate as a remote interlock pins 
(13 and 14).

SENSOR INSTALLATION:

Pressure Transducers

 – Hansen recommends all pressure 

transducers to be installed into a gauge valve which is 
installed into the pressure port. This line of controller 
is designed to work with transducers with a 4-20mA 
signal.  Pressure transducers are imprecise below -60F, 
and standoffs are recommended.  It is important that the 
pressure transducer is installed as close to the outlet of 
the heat exchanger (evaporator, shell and tube, plate and 
frame, etc.) as possible to attain a precise reading.

Temperature Sensors

 – Sensor should be installed as 

close to the pressure sensing element as possible (where 
applicable), or the outlet of the heat exchanger. Thermal 
compound should be used to ensure sensor lag is kept to 
a minimum. Immersion wells are highly recommended for 
all applications.

Superheat / Temperature Applications

 – When attempting 

to read saturated vapor, intermittent liquid contacting the 
sensing element will result in unstable sensor readings, 
causing system instability. When operating a system where

liquid is present an immersion well should be used for 
precise measurement. The well should be installed so 
that it is constantly immersed in the liquid. Plumbing traps 

are  necessary  to  stabilize  the  flow  of  liquid  and  reduce 
imprecision in the measurement. This is crucial for all 
applications dependent on temperature measurements for 

liquid or superheat control. Sensors should be installed per 

wiring diagrams and as shown on the pipe at the 4’oclock 
or 8’clock position as shown in Figure 5. For DX evaporator 
setup, and the entire length of the pipe must be insulated.

Other Sensors

 – Refer to the sensorproduct bulletin 

(Pressure and Temp Sensor (HPT) bulletin PT100c, 

Techni-Level probes P109, Vari-Level Probes P112)

SETTING UP THE CONTROLLER:

1.  Verify jumpers on back of controller are set as follows:
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

2.  Connect sensors and power.  In superheat applications.

The pressure and temperature sensors should be  placed 

as close to one another as possible.

3.  (Optional) Configure user desired alarms. Alarms close 

the circuit between pins 4 and 6, and may be linked to 
any device with a power rating between 24 - 250VAC 
and 3A Max Current.

4.  (Optional) Connect remote interlock. Interlock is active 

when switch is closed and deactivated when switch is 
open.

5.  Best practice is to test function the unit, verifying output 

matches expectations, using a process calibrator (4-
20mA by default) measuring analog signal output.

6.  Switch off power

7.  Connect outputs to valves and place into service

Contact Hansen if errors are encountered
