Controller Dimensions and Weight

Each LCX 890 is 34.9H × 18.3W × 4.67D in. (886.46H × 464.82W ×
118.62D mm) and weighs 38 lbs (14.17 kg) without relays. Each LCX 898 is 38.8H × 27.35W × 4.67D in. (985.52H × 694.69W ×
118.62D mm) and weighs 42 lbs (23.49 kg) without relays.

Power Requirements

Caution
Any LCX 890 should receive power from its own independent, unswitched circuit.
You can select an AC line voltage of 115 V, 230 V, or 277 V. You re­ceive the controller set to 115 V. Instructions for selecting the AC line voltage you want are included with the installation.
Voltages you can select are as follows (each uses a 2 A slow blow fuse):
115 VAC +/– 10% 50/60 Hz
230 VAC +/– 10% 50/60 Hz
277 VAC +/– 10% 50/60 Hz Each LCX 890 series controller consumes 115 VA of power.

Cabl e Limitat ions

The maximum cable length for all buses is 4,000 ft (1219 m) at 19,200 baud (up to 32 Infinet controllers). You can extend buses beyond 4,000 ft (1219 m) or put more than 32 Infinet controllers on less than 4,000 ft (1219 m) by using the InfiLink 200 amplification mo dule.
LCX 890 Installation Guide 3
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 provide reliable communications.
Cables that form Infinet are 24-gauge (.22 to .38 mm2), single-twisted­pair, tinned, shielded copper wire. Use the following cables1 or their
equivalents:
Brand Rex # H 9002 (single-pair)
Anixter # 9J2401021 (single-pair plenum cable) The cable should have a nominal impedance of 100 and a nominal ve-
locity of propagati on o f 7 8%. Capaci tanc e of In fi net c able s houl d be n omi nal, b el ow 12.5 pF/ ft (41 pF/
m) between conductors an d below 22 pF/ft (72 pF/m) between the con­ductor c onnected to ground and the next cond uc tor.

Lightning Protection

The LCX 898 has a 2 A, 500 V fuse and 1500 V transformer that isolates the unit.
The unit has 1500 V .01 µF spark gap caps from HOT and NEUTRAL to chassis ground. These help increase protection against power surges.
Lightning arrestors are required at each point where a bus cable enters or exits a building. Use the following arrestor: Two pair gas tube arrestor, Andover Controls # 01-2100-299.
1. You can also use any cables you may already have in place for ACNET or LBUS.

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 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 .
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 buildi ng 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 Andover Controls equipment.
LCX 890 Installation Guide 5

Inspecting the Ground

You can check your ground as follows:
1. Check yo ur ground by firs t inspecti ng the buildi ng power distributi on panel fo r ea rth ground t er mination. If t he ground termina t ion is any of the f ollowing, it is not adequa te an d must be cor rec ted:
Does not exist.
Is connected to a corroded or galvanized pipe.
Is connected using a small gauge wire (less than 14 AWG or 2.5 mm2).
2. Be sure your Andover Controls cabinet is connected to the ground with a copper conductor that terminates at the distribution panel.

Environmental Requirements

All LCX 890 con trollers operate in rooms with temperatures rangin g from 32 to 120°F and with humidity between 10 and 95%, noncondens­ing. If you connect a SmartSensor, the temperature can range from 32 to 104°F.
The controller is in an Underwriter Laborator ies approved enclosu re. Do not remove the controller from the enclosure provided.

Output Requirements

The outputs on LCX 890 and 898 controllers are digital and can be wired to control lighting. To each output you attach either relays that give status feedback (Andover Controls Part # 01-0100-300) or relay s that do not give status feedback (Andover Controls Part # 01-0 100-
299).
All outputs are programmable. You may also wire a momentary switch to the light. This switch can be a motion detector or other occupancy sensor. When the motion detector or other sensor determines light is re­quired, it sends a signal to the output relay. The relay mechanically
6 LCX 890 Installation Guide
latches itself ON. The relay remains ON until you either set it to OFF from the software or the momentary switch sets it to off .
The status of the li ght is avai lable in the softwar e if you use rel ays th at give feedback. In addition, the status light adjacent to each output lights up if the output is ON.
Each relay is rated for any of the fol lowing lighting loads:
Note
Andover Controls does not recommend switching DC loads. Switching DC loads can damage the relay.
20 A with a Tungsten filament at 125 VAC
20 A with a Ballast at 277 VAC
20 A with Resistive element at 277 VAC
The motor load is 1/2 horsepower at 110 to 125 VAC or 1/2 horsepower at 220 to 227 VAC.
Andover Controls relays are prewired for the LCX 890 series of control­lers and plug in to the 5-pin connector adjacent to each output.
LCX 898 outputs have 4,000 V noise immunity from IEC E801- 4 and ANSI/IEEE C 62.41 5 ns/50 ns EFT test waveforms.

Input Requirements

Caution
Andover Controls inputs are designed to be used with two-wire devices and do not provide sufficient power to operate sensors requiring an external power supply.
The LCX 890 controllers each have two types of inputs, digital and uni- versal. The paragraphs that follow give the requirements of each type of input.
LCX 890 Installation Guide 7
Digital Inputs
The first 16 inputs on all LCX 890 controllers are digital, for switc hes . The controller can read the settings of these switches.
All digital inputs have an input impedance of 220K referenced to
5.000 V.
Universal Inputs
The las t eight in puts (not inc luding the E M X 170 port) on the LCX 890 or LCX 898 (17 through 24) are uni versal. T he last ei ght inpu ts on the are univer sal. Universa l inputs are fo r any type of sens or, such as the rmistors, motion sensors, and switches.
Below are the requirements of each universal input:
Voltage Range—0 to 5.115 V
Resolution—0.005 V
Accuracy—+/–0.015 V
Maximum Pulse Frequency—5 Hz at a duty cycle of 50% with a
minimum pulse width of 100 ms

EMX 170 Inputs
If you ha ve a n EMX 1 70 on the EMX 170 p ort, it is an additional input, numb ered 25.
8 LCX 890 Installation Guide
Special Factors for Thermistors
You could connect a thermistor to one of the analog inputs. To keep thermistor errors minimal, lay out your site so you can limit the length of wire runs to the maximum for the gauge wire you select.
Table 1 shows the maximum runs for wires of various gauges to keep errors within .5°F, .25°F, and .10°F when sensing temperatures up to 70°F.

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.
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.
Communications port the Infinet connects to on the 9000 controller.
Then collect the tags. You will need to know where your controllers are located when you later assign a name to each controller and each input and output.

Connecting the AC Power

Warning
Be sure the AC power cable 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.
The AC power connection is to the right of the lower part of every LCX 890 series controller. You must wire the AC cable to the three screws on that board.
Caution
Be sure to connect all three wires, HOT, NEUTRAL, and GROUND. Otherwise, the controller could malfunction.

Selecting the AC Input Voltage

The voltage of every LCX 890 series controller is set to 115 V when shipped. To change the voltage, you must reset the jumpers to the right of the AC power cord connection.
Table 7 shows jumper settings for the three voltages.
Table 7. Connecting Jumpers for AC Input Voltages
115 Jumpers 230 V Jumpers 277 V Jumpers From To From To From To
E5 E8 E6 E8 E6 E8 E1 E7 E1 E7 E1 E2 E4 E3 Remove 3rd Jumper Remove 3rd Jumper
To change the voltage from 115 V to 230 V, proceed as follows:
1. Disconnect the jumper end from E5 and move it to E6 so it jumpers E6 to E8 .
2. Leave the other jumper as it is.
3. Remove the jumper end from E4 to E3.
To change the voltage from 115 V to 277 V, proceed as follows:
1. Disconnect the jumper end from E5 and move it to E6 so it jumpers E6 to E8 .
LCX 890 Installation Guide 23
2. Disconnect the jumper from E7 and connect it to E2, so it jumpers E1 to E2 .
3. Remove the jumper from E4 to E3.

Wiring the Inputs

Now that you have located the inputs, you are ready to wire them. Before you proceed, be sure you know which type of input you can wire
to each terminal. The first 16 inputs on an LCX 890 or LC X 898 must always be switches and may not be any other type of input.
Caution
Do not remotely ground any part of the sensor wiring. Remote grounds connected to the LCX 890 or 898 return te rminal could make the controller operate incorrectly or damage the equipment. The signal return is not true earth ground. It is an electronic reference point necessary to interpret the sensor properly. Do not externally ground sensor or switch terminal s that retur n to the LCX 890 or 898.
Caution
Although inputs usually function properly with unshielded sensor wire, you may need shielded wire if you run the wire as follows:
In the same conduit with other noise-generating conductors such as 60 Hz AC power.
In long runs close to large power-consuming or power-generating equipment that can produce 60 Hz noise.
We recommend you run input wiring in a conduit separate from AC power or output wiring and avoid long wiring runs.
Caution
Never apply a voltage to a thermistor. Doing so alters the thermistor’s accuracy and reliability. You should replace a thermistor that has had voltage applied to it. Never bring a soldering iron within 3 in. (75 mm) of the thermistor’s sensi ng tip.
LCX 890 Installation Guide 31
Caution
Follow the rules below when wiring inputs and outputs:
Never lay wires across the surface of the pr inted circuit board. You should bring input wires in from the left and output wires in from the right.
Bundle excess wires toward the back of the cabinet to avoid any contact with circuit boards.
Wires should never be within 1 in. (25 mm) of any component on the printed circuit board.
Keep cabinet free of foreign materials (extra power supplies, relays, and so on).
Be careful when stripping wire not to drop small pieces of wire inside the cabinet.
If you violate any of these rules, the controller could malfunction.
Wiring a Switch Input
Notice that the group of switch inputs are labeled IN1, RET, IN2, then IN3, RET, IN4, and so on. The return terminal goes to the two inputs on either side of it.
Figure 10 shows a switch wired to an input point. You follow this diagram when wiring the first 16 inputs on the LCX 890. You may not wire anything other than a switch to these 16 inputs.
Figure 10. Wiring Diagram for a Digital (Switch) Input
1 (input point 1)
RET (return)
32 LCX 890 Installation Guide
Follow these steps:
1. Loosen the screws for the first two inputs and their return terminal.
2. Slip the first wire for the first sensor under the input point screw for input 1 and tighten the screw down on it.
3. Slip the first wire for the second sensor under the input point screw for input 2 and tighten the screw down on it.
4. Slip the ground wires from both the first and second sensors under the RETURN screw above input point 1 and tighten the screw down on them.
5. Repeat the steps 1 through 3 for each pair of inputs.
Wiring a Thermistor Input

Attaching the Output Relays

The outputs are on the upper part of the LCX 890 just to the left of the divider. On the LCX 898, they are on the outer side of the left and right dividers. A relay connects to each output.
This explanation covers installing relays on the LCX 890 and the righ t side of the LCX 898. All output wir e s should enter fr om the right.
If you purchase Andover Controls relays, install them as follows :
1. Thread the wires through the opening provided on the divider.
2. Press on the square end of the relay so it latches to the opening in the divider. Be sure the two large screws on the end of the relay are facing the front of the cabinet.
3. Plug the plastic connector at the end of the wires onto the 5-pin connector to the right of the output terminals and to the left of the divider.
Caution
Be sure the blue wire is at the top and the yellow at the bottom. Other­wise, you could damage the relay.
4. Repeat the above procedure for each relay.
The outputs are numbered starting with the row to the right. The odd num­bered outputs are to the right, the even to the left. To be sure of the exact output number, follow the wires that connect the relay through the left side of the divider to the terminal wiring area. The relay wires connect adjacent to the output terminal with the corresponding output number.
LCX 890 Installation Guide 35

4. Slip the second wire for the light into an inlet under the second screw and tighten the screw down on it.
5. Repeat the above steps for each output.

Locating/Wiring the Momentary Switches

Each output can be controlled in two possible ways:
Through the software based on the setting of an input.
Through a momentary switch (such as a motion detector or push button) that you wire to the terminals labeled OUT on the other side of the vertical divider from the output relay. They are each associated with a particular output and labeled with the output number.
As shown in Figure 2-1, on the LCX 890 the momentary switches are all to the left of their corresponding output.
As shown in Figure 2-2, on the LCX 898 the momentary switches are either to the left or to the right of their corresponding output.

Wiring a Single Momentary Switch to Two Adjacent Outputs on LCX 890 or 898
Adjacent to each output are four terminal screws that you can wire a momentary swit ch to. Whether you are wiring a four-wire device (one that gives status feedback) or a three-wire device, you need a couple of extra jumper wires long enough to provide a bridge between one momentary switch terminal and the next. One jumper wire is for the RED terminal a nd one for the BLK. You wire th e two adjace nt outputs to the one momentary switch. The maximum length of wire you can
use is 750 ft (2 28.6 m) of 20/4 AWG (0.5 mm switches as follows:

The software can read status feedback from the outputs and the indica­tor light turns on if the output is ON (provided you selected the outputs that give feedback).
Note
Multiple output terminals on the LCX 898 tha t are wired to the same switch can be independently software controlled as separate points.
However, multiple output terminals on the LCX 890 that are wired to the same switch cannot be independently software controlled. They are considered a single point.

Connecting the EMX 170 or SP 100 Module to the EMX 170 or SP 100 Port

The EMX 170 or SP 100 port at the bottom of the controller just left of the vertical center is where you can connect a n EMX 170 or SP 100 ex­pansion module. This port has a built-in buffer box for the EMX 170 or SP 100, so you wire the module directly to the port, without the buffer box. Refer to the ACC EMX 170 Ins tall ation Guide or the SP 100 In- stallation Guide for how to install the module.
If you need information on the EMX 170 or SP 100 module, contact your Andover Controls representative.
LCX 890 Installation Guide 53

If you have completed all previous sections in this manual, you are now ready to power up the controller.
Turn on the AC power source (or close the power connection) and the controller starts automatically. The following occurs (also occurs when you press RESET):
1. The CPU light begins flashing and flashes every .2 sec.
2. The TD light immediately starts flashing (or starts flashing after you let go of the RESET button) to show data is being transmitted.
54 LCX 890 Installation Guide
3. The RD light begins flashing only if data is being received from other controllers on the network. This may not happen immediately.
4. If the CPU light flashes more slowly than normal, every .4 sec, it means the CPU has failed a ROM test. If it flashes more quickly than normal, every .05 sec, i t has f ail ed a RAM test. If the CPU does not flash at a normal rate, contact your Andover Controls representative for assistance.

Connecting the Battery

When you have the controller mounted, find the AA battery in the lower right corner of the lower part of the controller, to t he left of the AC pow­er voltage jumpers. Remove the plastic tab beside the clip on the battery to activate the battery.
The battery is an 1.8 A-hr 3.6 V primary lithium battery that runs the real-time clock and maintains RAM and realtime clock when AC power goes out. The battery is DOT-certified.

Reset Button

The RESET button is the red square button just above the battery on the far lower right side of the LCX 890 board and on the lower left side of the LCX 898. You press it to restart the controller without erasing mem­ory. The same events occur as described under Power Up the LCX 890 or 898.

Connecting the Andover Controls Service Tool

The SERVICE POR T on the left side of the bottom of the controll e r, immediately to the left of the EMX 170 or SP 100 port, is to connect the Andover Controls Service Tool to an LCX 890. The service tool access­es all LCX 890s and other Infinet controllers on the same network. For information on availability of the Andover Controls Service Tool, con­tact your Andover Controls representative.
