3-4 The Controller Installation Manual
Remote Mounting
of the Controller
To mount the Controller remotely, follow
the same instructions as you would to mount
the Controller locally.
However, remote mounting of the Controller
requires that a Remote Receiver be
positioned at the zone. The Receiver,
normally mounted inside of the Controller,
requires a different mounting plate and a
4”x4”x2” electrical box.
Furthermore, using a composite cable
(available from Accutech) will greatly ease
the pulling of wire from zone components to
the Controller. The composite cable is a
multi-conductor cable that is color coded to
provide ease of installation. In order to make
it easier for Accutech personnel to offer
assistance, either over the phone or in
person, please be consistent in following the
color-coding for the Composite Cable stated
on page 2-3.
Finally, a 4”x4”x2” junction box (also
available from Accutech) is recommended
to make the connections between zone
components and the Controller.
Hard Wiring Power
If installation requires that the Controller
power be hard wired, then the Controller’s
power cord must be removed.
WARNING: Before making any attempt at
hard wiring, turn off the power and unplug
the Controller.
NOTE: Only a certified electrician or
equivalent should attempt hard wiring.
To hard wire the Controller, refer to Figure
3.2 and use the following instructions:
1. Remove the Controller cover by
removing the screws.
2. Remove the Power Supply cover by
removing the 4 mounting screws.
3. On the three-position power
terminal strip, remove the 3 power
cord wires* by loosening the 3
terminal screws that hold them in
place.
*
NOTE: On newer models, the
Green wire coming from the power
cord will go directly to a chassis
ground instead of a terminal block.
4. Using pliers to squeeze the cord
strain relief bushing, remove the
power cord.
NOTE: A suitable plug or cap
should be put in the power cord
hole.
