NOTE:
If a voltage, rather than current signal is used to control the remote setpoint, a DIP switch
adjustment must be made on the CPU Board located in the C-More Controller Assembly.
Contact your local AERCO representative for details.
To enable the DIRECT DRIVE mode, the following menu setting must be made in the
Configuration
menu:

Refer to Section 2.3 for instructions on changing C-More Controller menu options.
If the Network setting is selected for RS-485 Modbus operation, a valid Comm Address must be
entered in the
Setup
menu. Refer to Modbus Communication Manual GF-114 for additional
information.
3.4.1 Direct Drive Field Wiring
The only wiring connections necessary for DIRECT DRIVE mode are connection of the remote
signal leads from the source to the unit’s I/O Box. For either a 4-20mA/0-5V or a 0-20mA/0-5V
setting, the connections are made at the ANALOG IN terminals in the I/O Box. For a Network
setting, the connections are made at the RS-485 COMM terminals in the I/O Box. The signal
must be floating, (ungrounded) at the I/O Box and the wire used must be a two wire shielded
pair from 18 to 22 AWG. Polarity must be observed. The source end of the shield must be
conn
ected at the source. When driving multiple units, each unit’s wiring must conform to the
above.
3.4.2 Direct Drive Startup
Since this mode of operation is factory preset and the valve position is being externally
controlled, no startup instructions are necessary
.
In this mode, the REMOTE LED will light when
the signal is present.
To operate the unit in MANUAL mode, press the
AUTO/MAN
switch. The REMOTE LED will go
off and the MANUAL LED will light (password required).
To change back to the DIRECT DRIVE mode, simply press the
AUTO/MAN
switch. The
REMOTE LED will again light and the MANUAL LED will go off. This will happen automatically
after 1 hour after the password has expired.
