Note
This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy
and if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual
may cause interference to radio communications. It has been tested and
found to comply with the limits for a Class A compu ting devic e
pursuant to Subpart J of Part 15 of the FCC Rules, which are designed
to provide reasonable protection against such interference when
operated in a commercial environment. Operation of this equipment in
a residential area is likely to cause interference in which case the user
at his own expense will be required to take whatever measures may be
required to correct the interference.

Building Ground Requirements
Warning
Be sure that all hardware from Andover Controls Corporati on is
grounded to true earth ground. This kind of ground protects the
equipment from lightning strikes and other power surges in the area.

We cannot guarantee that the control system will operate as
documented unless you properly grou nd all control lers .

Electrical Code.
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.
Surges of much lower potential also impact the reliability of Andover
Controls equipment.
Since properly grounded Andover Controls units respond to changes in
potential more rapidly than poorly grounded electrical systems, a poor-

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 ground
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 (smaller than 14 AWG).
2. Be sure your

Selecting the AC Input Voltage
The voltage is set to 115 V when shipped. To change the voltage, you
must reset the jumpers to the right of the AC power conne ction.
Table 1 shows jumper settings for the two voltages.

From
TP2 E3
To change the voltage from 115 V to 230 V, proceed as follows:
1. Disconnect the jumper end from E2 and move it to E3 so it jumpers
TP2 to E3.
2. Disconnect the jumper end from E1 to E3 and entirely remove it
from the controller board.
Connecting the AC Power
Warning
To
Be sure the AC power is not connected to an electrical power source
while you are wiring the controller, or you could receive an electrical
shock that is life-threatening.

Caution
Be sure to connect all three wires, HOT, NEUTRAL, and GROUND.
Otherwise, the controller could malfunction.
The three screws are labeled HOT NEU GND. The three wires at the
end of your AC cable are black, white, and green. Proceed as follows:
1. Place the green wire under the metal plate behind the bottom screw,
labeled GND.
2. Tighten the screw with a flathead screw driver.
Figure 3 shows the position of the plate, where to place the wire, and
how the screw fits on the plate. You can see how the screw holds
the plate in place once you tighten it.
3. Place the white wire under the metal plate behind the middle screw,
labeled NEU.
4. Tighten the screw with a flathead screw driver.
