The newer Evolution Connex systems
utilize the SAM for ONLY
interface to Home Automation systems, utilizing the RS-232 serial
port connection. The Connex control DOES NOT support the
SAM web page on the LAN, nor connection to the LAN or
Internet through the CAT--5 B--SAM Ethernet port. Use the Wi-Fi
version of the Evolution Connex wall control when connection to
the Internet is desired.
NOTE
:
The SAM is designed for operation with the previous
generation UID/UIZ wall control systems. As such, it will operate
“as-is” with the newer Evolution Connex systems, and may
display status codes that are unique to the previous generation
UID/UIZ systems, but are irrelevant when the SAM is used with
the newer Evolution Connex systems. In addition, some features
of the RS-232/ASCII home automation interface will NOT be
available with the newer Evolution Connex systems. See the latest
version of the SAM Remote Access Interface Specification,
available on HVACpartners, for more details on the home
automation interface.
The CAT--5 B--SAM can also monitor a dry--contact sensor to
provide a warning for the presence of water in the building, or
some other use. If the sensor is active, the Evolution system will
not be disabled or shut down.
Computer Requirements
(Previous generation
UID/UIZ systems, only)
The CAT--5 B--SAM uses a web--based application to control and
monitor
the
Evolution
system.
This
application,
www.Evolution.Bryant.com, will work with any graphic user
interface PC operating system (Microsoft, Apple, Linux). The
web--based application is optimized for use with Microsoft’s
Internet Explorer version 6 and above. Other web browsers are
compatible with some possible screen formatting issues.
NOTE
:
This web--based application for the SAM is NOT
available for Evolution Connex systems. When using these
systems, Internet access is achieved using the Wi-Fi version of the
Evolution
Connex
control,
and
accessing
the
www.MyEvolutionConnex.com website.
SAM INSTALLATION
BEFORE STARTING:
S
SYSTXBBUID01 or SYSTXBBUIZ01 (version 14 software
revision or higher),
or
newer generation
SYSTXBBECN01,
SYSTXBBEC01, or SYSTXBBECW01 (version 08 software
revision or higher) wall control is required.
Check Equipment and Job Site
INSPECT EQUIPMENT -- File claim with shipping company,
prior to installation, if shipment is damaged or incomplete.
Component Location and Wiring Considerations
ELECTRICAL OPERATION HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury
or death.
Before installing, modifying, or servicing system, the main
electrical disconnect switch must be in the OFF position and
install a lockout tag. There may be more than one power
disconnect switch. Lock out and tag switch with a suitable
warning label.
!
WARNING
NOTE
: All wiring must comply with national, state, and local
codes.
LOCATING THE UNIT
-- CAT--5 B--SAM is approved for
indoor use only and should never be installed with any of its
components exposed to outdoor environmental conditions. The
CAT--5 B--SAM may be installed in any area where the
temperature remains between --4
_
F / --20
_
C and 158
_
F / 70
_
C,
and there is no condensation. The cover must be installed to
prevent damage from other sources. Do not locate where it will be
accessible to children. It should be mounted in the vertical position.
For wiring convenience, the CAT--5 B--SAM can be located
anywhere between the network router and HVAC equipment. The
CAT--5 B--SAM does not need to be located near the HVAC
equipment and can be located near the router, if a long Ethernet
cable run cannot be made.
NOTE
:
The Ethernet connection is NOT used for newer
generation Evolution Connex systems.
EQUIPMENT DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in equipment
damage.
Do not mount unit on plenum, ductwork, or flush against
furnace.
CAUTION
!
WIRING CONSIDERATIONS -- Ordinary thermostat wire is ideal
when wiring the CAT--5 B--SAM into the HVAC system (shielded
cable is not necessary). Use 22--gauge or larger for normal wiring.
Lengths over 100 ft / 30 m should use 20--gauge or larger wire.
For previous generation UID/UIZ systems,
Local Area Network
(LAN) connections will require appropriate network wire --
CAT--5e cable is recommended.
Install Components
INSTALL CAT--5 B--SAM
The CAT--5 B--SAM is designed so that wires can enter it from
behind, above, or below. Plan wire routing before mounting.
1. Remove cover to access mounting holes.
2. Mount back plate to wall using screws and wall anchors
provided.
3. Level back plate and tighten screws.
EQUIPMENT DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in equipment
damage or improper operation.
Improper wiring of the ABC connector will cause the system
to operate improperly. Check to make sure all wiring is
correct before proceeding with installation or turning on of
power.
CAUTION
!
Connect Evolution Systems
Connect the A, B, and C wires from the Evolution system to
terminals labeled A1, B1, and C1. Connect the second Evolution
System (if present) to the terminals labeled A2, B2 and C2.
ABC bus wiring only requires a three--wire connection; however, it
is good practice to run thermostat cable greater than three wires in
the event of a damaged or broken wire during the installation.
It is recommended that the following color--code be used when
wiring each ABC connector:
A -- Green
Data A
B -- Yellow
Data B
C -- White
24VAC (Com)
