Mounting
Observe the following guidelines when mounting a CVM
controller:
• Ensure that the mounting surface can support the CVM
and any user-supplied enclosure.
• Mount the CVM on a hard, even surface whenever
possible.
• Use shims or washers to mount the CVM securely and
evenly on the mounting surface.
• Mount the CVM in an area free of corrosive vapors
that matches the ambient conditions specified in the
• Provide sufficient space around the CVM for cable and
wire connections and adequate ventilation through the
controller (at least 50 mm [2 in.] on the top, bottom,
sides, and front of the controllers).
• Do not mount the CVM in areas where electromagnetic
emissions from other devices or wiring can interfere
with controller communication.
• Avoid mounting the CVM on surfaces with excessive
vibration.
Important:
When the air supply to the VAV box is
below 10°C (50°F), make sure that any condensation
on the VAV box, particularly on the damper shaft,
does not enter the CVM electronics. Mount the
CVM vertically above the damper shaft to allow any
shaft condensation to fall away from the controller.
Additional measures may be required in some
installations.
On panel or enclosure mount applications, observe these
additional guidelines:
• Do not install the CVM in an airtight enclosure.
• Mount the CVM so that the enclosure walls do not
obstruct cover removal or ventilation through the
controller.
• Mount the CVM so that the power transformer and
other devices do not radiate excessive heat to the
controller.
