InFusion Controller II — MODEL: IC-36-II & IC-24-II 

 

Overview 
The InFusion™ Controller II is Vantage’s 
most powerful automation controller to 
date, featuring a new, extremely fast 
processor improving processing 
performance. Systems using the 
previous InFusion Controller may be 
upgraded by simply plugging in the 
new controller,* converting the project 
file in Design Center 3.3 or higher and 
downloading to the new controller. No changes are needed to the 
enclosure or the controller terminal board. 
 
* See 

Replacing and/or Upgrading InFusion Controllers

 for 

additional information.

Software/Firmware/Installation Requirements 
Design Center Software, version 3.3.X.X or higher must be used to 
program controller models with the “-II” at the end of the model 
number. Using IC-1 and IC-II controller models on the same system, 
is not supported. Installation of Vantage products should be 
performed or supervised by a

 Certified Vantage Installer. 

Disconnect power when plugging in or un-plugging the controller. 

The InFusion Controller is plugged into the Main Enclosure 
Terminal Board. 

This board is different for 24V and 36V 

controllers.

 The Main Enclosure Terminal Board is designed to only 

accept a Controller that matches the voltage of the Card. Make 
sure the IC is firmly seated before tightening locking screws. Please 
see

 Surface Mount Enclosure for wall box and rack mount options.
