Notes:
1. Breaker panel represents eld power supply and is to be installed by others.
Not provided as part of the ClimaCool modular chiller system.
2. Breaker panels can be supplied for skid mount pump/tank packages or new
construction projects as options. Consult your local ClimaCool Representative.
3. Control wiring by others.
4. Field connections are simplied requiring only a two-conductor shielded cable
daisy chain from the master controller to the modules. (See Figure 22).
Specications for ARC156 Wiring

conductor to conductor
• Characteristic Impedance – 100 Ohms
Cable Shields
Do not ground the shield to earth ground or to the control
module’s power ground. The PROT485 and the individual
control modules allow the shield to oat a limited amount
so that there are no ground loops. If the voltage on the
shield becomes too great relative to the earth ground, then
the excess voltage is bled o with protective devices on the
PROT485 or on the control modules.
Noise Avoidance
Avoid running communication wires or sensor input wires
next to AC power wires or the control module’s relay output
wires. These can be a source of noise that can aect signal
quality.
Common sources of noise are:
Spark ignitors
Radio transmitters
Variable speed drives
Electric motors (> 1hp)
Generators
Relays
Transformers
If noise is a problem and you cannot move the wiring,
use ferrite clamp-on chokes on the cabling to improve
signal quality.
Induction heaters
Large contactors (ex.motor starters)
Video display devices
Lamp dimmers
Fluorescent lights
Parallel runs with power lines
Other electronic modules
