5.4 Temperature Sensor
The PCS system uses an NTC type temperature sensor to
read the temperature. The temperature sensor is not
polarity sensitive. Note that the wiring for the
temperature sensor should be routed in such a way that it
is not in close proximity to any power line cables. This
will prevent invalid readings from occurring.
The temperature sensor should be placed in the discharge
air stream to give a true indication of case temperature.
Figure 6 shows a picture of the temperature sensor.

5.5 Field wiring
All wire connections to the PCS system should be in
accordance with all applicable local and national codes.
Temperature sensors and defrost termination sensors
should be wired to the controller and expansion board
using
Belden 8761, 22AWG, 2 conductor twisted
shielded pair or equivalent
. This wiring should be
carefully routed away from power lines or other high
electrical noise environments.
The PCS system offers the option of using a supervisory
system where all units in the store are connected to a PC
allowing complete control of the units from the PC. For
this system each of the Controller must have a
communications card installed. The controllers must be
connected in a daisy chain fashion using
Belden 8641,
24AWG, 2 conductor twisted shielded pair
.
This
wiring should be carefully routed away from power lines
or other high electrical noise environments
Field valve wiring should use 16/18 AWG cable
appropriate for the valve current requirements. This
wiring should not be run in close proximity to the
temperature, termination or communication wiring.
