CAUTIONS
1. Failure to install, maintain and/or operate the MAC-3 in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions may result in conditions that
can produce bodily injury and property damage.
2. The safety interlock and system operation performance checks must be performed on each appliance interlocked with the
MAC-3 in accordance with the Power Venter, Draft Inducer, IN-FORCER or Damper installation instructions.
ELECTRICAL
All wiring from the MAC-3 to the appliance must be appropriate Class 1 wiring as follows: installed in rigid metal conduit, intermediate conduit,
rigid non-metallic conduit, electrical metallic tubing, Type MI Cable, Type MC Cable or be otherwise suitably protected from physical damage.
The disconnect means and circuit protection are to be provided by the installer of this device.
SEQUENCE OF OPERATION OF MAC-3 INTERLOCKED WITH 24 VAC & 115 VAC APPLIANCE CONTROL CIRCUITS
The circuit board of the MAC-3 is designed for a simple three wire interlock with up to three separate burners. Upon a call for heat the “hot”
leg of the burner circuit is intercepted and routed to the MAC-3 terminal strip. The MAC-3 is activated, the power venter, draft inducer,
IN-FORCER or damper starts. The proving switch makes and the intercepted “hot” leg is returned to the burner circuit, allowing the burner to
fire. Plug-in relays must be purchased separately depending on control system voltage of appliance.
Use Tjernlund part # 950-1040 relay For 24 VAC control systems
Use Tjernlund part # 950-0480 relay For 115 VAC control systems
