SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS

Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service, maintenance,
or use can cause explosion, fire, electrical shock, or other
conditions which may cause death, personal injury or property
damage. Consult a qualified installer, service agency or your
distributor or branch for information or assistance. The qualified
installer or agency must use factory--authorized kits or accessories
when modifying this product. Refer to the individual instructions
packaged with the kits or accessories when installing.

Follow all safety codes. Wear safety glasses, protective clothing,
and work gloves. Have a fire extinguisher available. Read these
instructions thoroughly and follow all warnings and cautions
included in literature and attached to the unit. Consult local
building codes and the current edition of the National Electrical
Code (NEC) NFPA 70.

In Canada, refer to the current editions of the Canadian Electrical
Code CSA C22.1.

Recognize safety information. When you see this symbol
the unit and in instructions or manuals, be alert to the potential for
personal injury. Understand the signal words DANGER,
WARNING,andCAUTION. These words are used with the
safety--alert symbol. DANGER identifies the most serious hazards,
which will result in severe personal injury or death. WARNING
signifies hazards, which could result in personal injury or death.
CAUTION is used to identify unsafe practices, which may result
in minor personal injury or product and property damage. NOTE
is used to highlight suggestions which will result in enhanced
installation, reliability, or operation.

INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS

The CAT--5 Broadband Remote Access Module (CAT--5 B--SAM),
part number SYSTXBBRCT01, is powered with a 24VAC
transformer. A 120VAC supply must be near the mounting
location. Provisions must be made to secure the transformer to the
outlet. The D--wire (24VAC) from the Evolutiont System must

NOT be used to power the Remote Access Module.

This instruction covers the physical installation and start up of the
CAT--5 B--SAM. Use this instruction to guide the actual
installation process after the Evolution System(s) have been
installed. One CAT--5 B--SAM is capable of handling two
Evolution Systems.

INTRODUCTION

The CAT--5 B--SAM connects to a network router and allows
remote connectivity for up to two Evolution Systems within the
same building. The Evolution System owner as well as authorized
dealer can monitor and control the system via the Internet as well
as by telephone. The CAT--5 B--SAM communicates through the
homeowner’s cable or DSL Internet service. Broadband Internet
service with a network router is required. The CAT--5 B--SAM is
not compatible with dial--up Internet service. The CAT--5 B--SAM
can also monitor a dry--contact sensor to provide a warning for the
presence of water in the building, or some otheruse. If the sensor is
active, the Evolution System will not be disabled or shut down.

Computer Requirements

The CAT--5 B--SAM uses a web--based application to control and
monitor the Evolution System. This application will work with any
graphic user interface PC operating system (Microsoft, Apple,
Linux). The web--based application is optimized for use with
Microsoft’s Internet Explorer version 6 and above. Other web
browsers are compatible with some possible screen formatting
issues.

CAT--5 B--SAM INSTALLATION

BEFORE STARTING:

S SYSTXBBUID01--B or SYSTXBBUIZ01--B is required

(version 14 software revision or higher).

Check Equipment and Job Site

INSPECT EQUIPMENT -- File claim with shipping company,
prior to installation, if shipment is damaged or incomplete.

Component Location and Wiring Considerations

WARNING

ELECTRICAL OPERATION HAZARD

Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury
or death.

Before installing, modifying, or servicing system, the main
electrical disconnect switch must be in the OFF position and
install a lockout tag. There may be more than 1 power
disconnect switch. Lock out and tag switch with a suitable
warning label.

NOTE: All wiring must comply with national, state, and local

SYSTXBBRCT01

codes.
LOCATING THE UNIT -- CAT--5 B--SAM is approved for

indoor use only and should never be installed with any of its
components exposed to outdoor environmental conditions. The
CAT--5 B--SAM may be installed in any area where the
temperature remains between --4_F/--20_C and 158_F/70_C,
and there is no condensation. The cover must be installed to
prevent damage from other sources. Do not locate where it will be
accessible to children. It should be mounted in the vertical position.

For wiring convenience, the CAT--5 B--SAM can be located
anywhere between the network router and HVAC equipment. The
CAT--5 B--SAM does not need to be located near the HVAC
equipment and can be located near the router, if a long Ethernet
cable run cannot be made.

!

CAUTION

EQUIPMENT DAMAGE HAZARD

Failure to follow this caution may result in equipment
damage.

Do not mount unit on plenum, ductwork, or flush against
furnace.

WIRING CONSIDERATIONS -- Ordinary thermostat wire is ideal
when wiring the CAT--5 B--SAM into the HVAC system (shielded
cable is not necessary). Use 22 gauge or larger for normal wiring.
Lengths over 100 ft / 30 m should use 20 gauge or larger wire.
Network connections will require appropriate network wire -­CAT--5e shielded cable is recommended.

Install Components

I N S T A L L C A T -- 5 B -- S A M

The CAT--5 B--SAM is designed so that wires can enter it from
behind, above, or below. Plan wire routing before mounting.

1. Remove cover to access mounting holes.

2. Mount back plate to wall using screws and wall anchors
provided.

3. Level back plate and tighten screws.

!

CAUTION

EQUIPMENT DAMAGE HAZARD

Failure to follow this caution may result in equipment
damage or improper operation.

Improper wiring of the ABC connector will cause the system
to operate improperly. Check to make sure all wiring is
correct before proceeding with installation or turning on of
power.

Connect Evolution Systems

Connect the A, B, and C wires from the Evolution System to
terminals labeled A1, B1, and C1. Connect the second Evolution
System (if present) to the terminals labeled A2, B2 and C2.

ABC bus wiring only requires a three--wire connection; however, it
is good practice to run thermostat cable greater than three wires in
the event of a damaged or broken wire during the installation.

It is recommended that the following color--code be used when
wiring each ABC connector:

A -- Green Data A
B -- Yellow Data B
C -- White 24VAC (Com)

NOTE: The D--wire (red-- 24VAC hot) from the Evolution
System is not connected to the CAT--5 B--SAM. It is not
mandatory that the above color code be used, but each ABC
connector in the system MUST be wired consistently.

Connect Auxiliary Sensor (optional)

The CAT--5 B--SAM will support a dry contact sensor for use with
water detection or some other use as seen fit. Connect one side of
the contacts to connector AUX C (common) and the other side to
connector AUX (input). The sensor input can provide up to 20mA
at 5 volts d.c. If the sensor input is active, it will not shutdown or
affect operation of the HVAC system(s). A pop--up message will
appear on the User Interface indicating the auxiliary sensor is
active. The homeowner will also be notified via email and/or
phone if so chosen on the Internet web interface.

Connect Power Source and Network Cable

Connect a network cable (RJ45 terminated). See Figure 1 for cable
attachment location.

A 24VAC transformer is required to power the CAT--5 B--SAM.
The transformer is available to order through RCD
(SYSTXNNXFM01). Do NOT connect the D--wire (24VAC

hot) from the Evolution System.

The transformer is heavy. Make sure it is secured to the power
outlet with an appropriate screw through the base on the
transformer.

System Start--Up

The User Interface of the Evolution System will automatically find
the CAT--5 B--SAM at power on. It will enter the system
installation screens automatically and will display the Equipment
Summary screen when finished. The Equipment Summary screen
will display REMOTE ACCESS near the bottom.

If REMOTE ACCESS is not displayed on the Equipment
Summary screen, check connections to the ABC wires as well as
ensure the yellow LED is lit on the CAT--5 B--SAM (this ensures
the module has power). The Green LED will be lit next to each
ABC connection if the User Interface has established
communications.
