BACKGROUND
HNS has introduced a new PES indoor unit, the PES 5000 version 3, as pictured in figure 1. The PES 5000 version 3 is
functionally similar to prior PES 5000 products (with the minor restrictions that certain PLCs are not applicable to PES
5000 version 3, and certain software must be installed at the hub). This customer service bulletin provides installation and
service information for PES 5000 version 3. Note the following topics:

Improved Installation Strategy
HNS has received significant field feedback that installation cost and complexity should be reduced. The new PES 5000
version 3 has incorporated a variety of new features to help in accomplishing this long-term objective. As an example, the
new user interface includes a LCD with a five-button keypad used to aid commissioning and speed installation
procedures.
Other new installation improvements relate to the IFL cable and cable termination. The new PES 5000 version 3 uses an
“F” connector for its IFL interface rather the “N” connector used in previous PES 5000 versions. Over a phased
implementation period, the IFL type I and type III cables will utilize “F” connector kits and ultimately, the type I IFL
cable will be replaced with a less expensive, more easily terminated RG-6 cable.
