Installation Overview
This section covers the mounting and wiring of the MicroZone system. Anyone responsible for
programming and operating the MicroZone should also read the
MicroZone Operations Manual
.
There are two symbols commonly used throughout this section:
This symbol means the text describes steps that involve going near terminals with
potentially deadly voltage. Always shut off power to all MicroZone modules and all
attached devices before opening the cover.
This symbol means the text has extra importance since it is describing the importance
of a feature or explaining a step to which you should pay close attention to avoid
problems.
Mounting and Wiring
Mount the MicroZone MC110A control module indoors where the temperature remains between 0
degrees Fahrenheit (- 17 degree Celsius) and 105 degrees Fahrenheit (40 degrees Celsius).
Place the controller away from motors and relays/contactors that switch high current.
Do not install it in the same room where the animals live since the air tends to be corrosive to
electronic circuits. A separate room or control office is a preferred location.
Use the mounting holes on the enclosures for mounting the modules. Before you drill holes into
the enclosure, mark their locations and make sure that you do not drill into circuit boards and
cables.
Unless absolutely necessary, do not remove the circuit boards. They are static-sensitive
and should always be handled with appropriate grounding and electrostatic precautions.
Always remove power from the MicroZone modules and controlled devices before
removing any MicroZone module covers or servicing any heating device.
Conduit and Connections
To avoid electrical shorts or damage due to moisture, you should
never run conduit openings through the top of the box. Conduit
and hubs should be corrosion-resistant plastic or fiberglass. Use
only liquid-tight strain-relief connectors to bring wires into the
box.
