It.is.important.to.carefully.consider.the.type.of.cable.to.be.
used..Just.because.a.cable.has.the.proper.number.of.conduc-
tors.and.is.shielded.does.not.mean.it.is.an.acceptable.cable..
Johnson.Controls,.Inc..recommends.the.use.of.Belden.#9829.
for.RS-422.communications.and.Belden.#.9841.for.RS-485.
up.to.2000.feet.(600.Meters).total.cable.length..Refer.to.

Comm Port Protection:
.Surge.suppression.for.the.comm.
ports.may.not.be.the.best.method,.since.suppression.is.re-
quired.to.divert.excess.voltage/current.to.ground..Therefore,.
the.success.of.these.devices.is.dependent.on.a.good.ground.
(covered.earlier.in.this.section)..This.excess.energy.can.be.
quite.high.and.without.a.proper.ground,.it.will.access.the.
port.and.damage.it.
Isolation. or. Optical. Isolation. is. the. preferred. comm. port.
protection
.
method..With.optical.isolation,.there.is.no.con-
tinuity.between.the.communications.cable.and.the.comm.
port..There.is.no.dependence.on.the.quality.of.the.ground..
Be. sure. to. know. what. the. voltage. isolation. value. of. the.
optical.isolator.is.before.selecting.it..These.may.range.from.
500.to.4000.Volts..

. panel.. With. a. UPS. system. providing. shutdown.
protection.for.a.Quantum.panel,.the.panel.may.not.see.the.
loss.of.the.3-phase.voltage.on.the.motor.because.the.UPS.
may.prevent.the.motor.starter.contactor.from.dropping.out..
With. the. starter. contactor. still. energized,. the. compres-
sor.auxiliary.will.continue.to.feed.an.“okay”.signal.to.the.
Quantum

.panel..This.may.allow.the.motor.to.be.subjected.
to.the.fault.condition.on.the.3-phase.bus.
A. couple. of. fault. scenarios. are:. 1.. The. 3-phase. bus. has.
power.“on”.and.“off”.in.a.continuous.cycle.manner.which.
may.cause.the.motor.to.overheat.due.to.repeated.exces-
sive.in-rush.current.experiences..2..The.motor.cycling.may.
damage. the. coupling. or. cause. other. mechanical. damage.
due.to.the.repeated.high.torque.from.rapid.sequential.motor.
“bumps.”.3..Prolonged.low.voltage.may.cause.the.motor.to.
stall. and. possibly. overheat. before. the. motor. contactor. is.
manually.turned.off.
Under.normal.conditions,.the.loss.of.3-phase.power.will.shut.
down.the.Quantum

.panel.and.it.will.reboot.upon.proper.
power.return..If.the.panel.was.in.“Auto,”.it.will.come.back.
and. return. to. running. as. programmed.. If. the. unit. was. in.
“Remote,”.the.external.controller.will.re-initialize.the.panel.
and.proceed.to.run.as.required..If.the.panel.was.in.“Manual”.
mode,.the.compressor.will.have.to.be.restarted.manually.
after. the. 3-phase. bus. fault/interruption. has. been. cleared.
/.restored.
If.the.local.power.distribution.system.is.unstable.or.prone.
to. problems. there. are. other. recommendations. to. satisfy.
these.problems..If.power.spikes.or.low.or.high.line.voltages.
are.the.problem,.then.a.constant.voltage.(CV).transformer.
with.a.noise.suppression.feature.is.recommended..Johnson.
Controls,.Inc..can.provide.these.types.of.transformers.for.
this.purpose..Contact.Johnson.Controls.for.proper.sizing.(VA.
Rating).based.on.the.requirement.of.the.job..If.a.phase.loss.
occurs,.then.you.will.typically.get.a.high.motor.amp.shut-
down..If.the.problem.continues,.an.analysis.of.the.facility’s.
power.supply.quality.may.be.necessary.
NOTICE
It is very important to read the installation instructions thoroughly before beginning
the project. Make sure you have drawings and instructions for the equipment being
installed. If not, call the manufacturer to receive the proper instructions and draw-
ings. Every manufacturer of electronic equipment should have a knowledgeable staff,
willing to answer your questions or provide additional information. Following correct
wiring procedures will ensure proper installation and consequently, proper operation
of your electronic equipment.
