Using the M4106nx

The M4106nx is a general purpose controller
that can be used for a variety of applications.
The M4106nx is part of the M-Line, which
allows a complete HVAC control system to be
built a piece at a time.

document on the Automated Logic website at
www.automatedlogic.com.

CAUTION Changes or modifications to this
unit not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the
user’s authority to operate equipment.

The M-Line consists of several general
purpose controllers that provide different
input and output point combinations. The
M4106nx has

• four digital outputs

• ten universal inputs

• six analog outputs

The M4106nx provides the communications
circuitry, non-volatile memory, and
removable screw terminals for
I/O connections.

The M4106nx uses a 6.00g or later version of
the MNM Module Driver; for more
information, see the MNM Module Driver

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

Specifications

Addressing

Power 24VAC ± 10%, 50-60Hz (24VAC

±10%, 60Hz for UUKL Smoke Control
Systems), 20VA power consumption
single Class 2 source only, 100VA or less.

Inputs ten universal inputs, configurable

for0-5VDC,0-20mA,orthermistor.

Input Resolution 12 bit A/D.

Digital Outputs four digital outputs, relay

contacts rated at 3A resistive @ 24VAC.
Configurable as normally open or
normally closed.

Analog Outputs six analog outputs, 0-

10VDC.

Output Resolution 8bitD/A.

Communication 156 kbps ARCNET, 9600

bps or 38.4 kbps CMnet.

Environmental Operating Range 0° to

130°F(-17.8° to 54.4°C); 10 to 90%
relative humidity, non-condensing. (For
UUKL Smoke Control Systems, 32 to

120.2 °F[0to49°C]; 10 to 85% relative
humidity, non-condensing.)

Before setting or changing the address, make
sure the M4106nx’s power is off. The
M4106nx only reads the address when the
module is turned on. After changing the
address, you must transfer memory to the
module. Refer to “Transferring Memory” on
page 9.

The M4106nx has two rotary switches for
assigning the module’s CMnet address. One
switch corresponds to the tens digit and the
other corresponds to the ones digit. For
example, if the module’saddressisthree,set
the tens switch to zero and the ones switch to
three, as shown in Figure 2.

Mounting

Screw the M4106nx into an enclosed panel
using the mounting holes provided on the
cover plate. Be sure to leave about 2 inches (5
centimeters) on each side for wiring.

Power Wiring

Whenever possible, make sure the module’s
power and communications connections are
working properly before connecting any input
or output points.

CAUTION The M4106nx module is a Class
2 device (less than 30VAC, 100VA maximum).
Take appropriate isolation measures when
mounting the M4106nx module in a control
panel where non-Class 2 devices (for
example, 120VAC) or wiring are present.

You can power several modules from the
same transformer if you maintain the same
polarity.

The M4106nx’s operating range is 21.6VAC to

26.4VAC. If voltage measured at the module’s
