OPTION 2
Instructions: Constant Setpoint with Modbus Wired Header Temp Sensor
Step 1: MODBUS HEADER TEMP SENSOR WIRING
– ANY BOILER
Using the Modbus Transmitter provides gives the plant the ability to use the Backup
manager feature. This allows the any of the client units to become a Backup manager if
the manager unit is not communicating.
1. Connect the
Modbus Transmitter
terminal
Pin B
to the
RS485+
terminal, and
Pin A
to
the
RS485-
terminal on the I/O Board of any Boiler unit, using shielded pair 18 - 22 AWG
cable.
2. Connect the
Header Temp Sensor
to pins
2
and
3
of the
Modbus Transmitter
using
shielded pair 18 - 22 AWG cable.
3. Install a jumper wire between pins
1
and
2
of the
Modbus Transmitter
.
NOTES:
•
Polarity must be observed for the RS485 connections.
•
Ground the shield to any
SHLD
terminal on the I/O Board.
•
The
Header Temp Sensor
must be installed between 2 and 10 feet (0.61 and 3.1m)
downstream of the
last
boiler in the plant’s supply water header.
•
There is no polarity to be observed. The ground for the shield is at the power supply
ground. The sensor end of the shield must be left free and ungrounded.
