Wiring
All 24 volt wiring must be run separate from
the line voltage wiring.
The terminal strip in the Smart Controller
is labeled similarly to that of the Beacon II
boards. Connect the corresponding terminals to
those on the Beacon board.
For single Refrigeration system:
Connect MULTI OUT 1 from the Smart
Controller to the MULTI IN on the
Beacon board on the Evaporator.
Then connect MULTI IN 1 from the
Smart Controller to the MULTI OUT on
the Beacon board on the Evaporator.
See typical wiring diagram at the back
of these instructions.
For MULTIPLE independent Refrigeration
systems:
For the first system, connect MULTI
OUT 1 from the Smart Controller to
the MULTI IN on the Beacon board
on the Evaporator in this first system.
Then connect MULTI IN 1 from the
Smart Controller to the MULTI OUT on
the Beacon board on the Evaporator on
this first system. DO NOT disconnect
the Room sensor from any of the
Evaporators. See typical wiring diagram
at the back of these instructions.
A minimum 18 gauge wire should be used. All
low voltage wiring must be run separate from
high voltage wiring.
Power Supply
The Beacon II Smart Controller gets its 24
VAC power supply from an evaporator. When
controlling multiple systems, the Beacon
II Smart Controller is powered from the
evaporator of only one of the systems. If a power
interruption occurs to the system supplying the
Smart Controller II, the Smart Controller II LCD
screen will go blank. The other systems will,
however, continue to operate and maintain their
box temperature.
If the Beacon II Smart Controller LCD displays
all “
88888
” this indicates that the power supply
is below 18 VAC. When this occurs the system
will power down and shut off. When the power
supply is corrected to 24 VAC, the system will
restart after the four-minute hold off period and
resume normal operation. The Beacon II Smart
Controller LCD display will then be normal.
