32 Infinet controllers). You can extend Infinet beyond 4,000 ft. or put
more than 32 Infinet controllers on less than 4,00 0 ft. by using the In-fiLink 200 amplification module.
4CMX 240 Series Installation Guide
Cables that form Infinet are 24-gaug e, single-twisted-pair, tinned,
shielded copper wire. Use the following cables1 or their equivalents:
Note
You mu s t use s hie ld ed ca bl es f o r Infinet to ensure compliance with the
Class A FCC limits and to communicate reliably.
•Brand Rex # H 9002 (single-pair)
•Anixter # 9J2401021 (single-pair plenum cable)
The cable should have a nominal impedance of 100 Ω and a nominal
velocity of propagation of 78%.
The capacitance of the Infinet cable should be smaller than or equal to
12.5 pF/ft between conductors and smaller than or equal to 22 pF/ft
between the conductor connected to ground and the next conductor.
Number of Infinet Controllers on CMX Infinet
You can have up to 64 Infinet controllers on a single CMX Infinet.

Lightning Protection
Warning
When running cables (Infinet) between buildings you must install
lightning arresters for Infinet to prevent electromagnetic disturbances.
Use lightning arresters at each point where Infinet cable enters or exits
a building. Use the following arrester:
Two pair gas tube arrester, Andover Controls # 01-2100-299.
Building Ground Requirements
Warning
Be sure that all Infi nity products from Ando ver Controls Corporation
are grounded to true earth ground. This kind of ground protects the
equipment from voltage transients and other power surges in the area.
We cannot guarantee that the controller system will operate as
documented unless you properly grou nd all control lers .
6CMX 240 Series Installation Guide
Warning
Be sure to have your grounds inspected before you begin the
installation process to be sure your municipality follows the National
Electrical Code. Many mu nicipalities do not and often have
substandard electrical grounds.
An example of a substandard ground is a galvanized steel cold water
pipe. As the pipe corrodes, it does not act as a true ground. The corrosion acts as an insulator, raising the potential of the pipe with respect to
the ground.
When lightning strikes in the area of the ins talla tion, it drastically
changes the potential of the earth.
Since properly grounded Andover Controls units respond to changes in
potential more rapidly than poorly grounded electrical systems, a poorly grounded building tries to reach ground through the Andover
Controls system. The surge of current can destroy electronic components on the controller board. Surges of much lower potential than
lightning also impact the reliability of Ando ver Controls equipment.
Inspecting the Ground
You can check your ground as follows:
1. Check your ground by first inspecting the building power
distribution panel for earth ground termination. If the grou nd
termination is any of the following, it is not adequate and must be
corrected:
•Does not exist.
•Is connected to a corroded or galvanized pipe.
•Is connected using a small gauge wire (less than 14 AWG).
2. Be sure your Andover Controls cabinet is connected to the ground
with a copper conductor that terminates at the distribution panel.
CMX 240 Series Installation Guide7
Environmental Requirements
The CMX 240 controllers operate in rooms with temperatures ranging
from 40 to 120°F and with humidity between 10 and 95%, noncondensing.
Laying Out the Site Setup
You may want to draw a map of where you plan to put each controller
and store it in a notebook. If you have not already done so, read the
EnergyNet and Infinet Configuration Guide for information on how to
design a configuration.
You put only one CMX 240 series controller on an Infinet. You connect
a terminal to the CMX.
You cannot connect an LBUS to a CMX 240 series controller. You can-
not have an Infinity CX 9000 controller on the same In fine t with a ny
CMX 240.
Find the tag attached to each controller that gives the number of the controller. Bef ore you remove any tags, be sure the tag has all of the
following information on it:
•Location of the controller.
•Serial number.
•Model name and number.
Then collect the tags. You’ll need to know where your controllers are
located when you later assign a name to each controller and each input
and output.
