Weather
Sensors
Weather
sensor is not
preventing
controller
manual
operation.
This is by
design.
Manual station, program or test program
operation (from the front panel or a remote)
is allowed regardless of the weather sensor
state. To see the current state of a weather
sensor, turn the dial to Weather Sensors. The
status of each sensor is displayed.
Wireless
weather
sensor is not
providing
input to the
controller.
Sensor receiver
is not wired to
the controller
module
correctly.
The IVM 2-Wire Interface Module includes
4 terminals for wireless weather sensor
connections. Wiring connections should be
made as follows:
• Sensor receiver power wires to + and –
terminals.
• Sensor receiver sensor wires to Sen and
C terminals.
Controller
Knock-
outs
I am having
trouble
removing the
knock-outs
on the
ESP-LX Series
Controller
plastic cabinet.
Unlike knock-
outs on a metal
enclosure,
these plastic
knock-outs are
designed to be
removed by
applying force
to the center at
the dimple.
Prior to installing the cabinet, place on a flat
surface with the knock-out facing up. Locate
the dimple in the center of the knock-out
you wish to remove. Place the tip of a large
Phillips screwdriver in the dimple. Use a
rubber or wooden mallet to firmly strike
the top of the screwdriver. The knock-out
should pop out in a single piece. If it breaks,
use pliers to remove the pieces. Do not use a
flat-bladed screwdriver around the outside
of the knock-out as this could crack the case.
