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 on
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 field--supplied
24VAC transformer. A 120VAC supply must be near the mounting
location when using the accessory plug--in 24VAC transformer.
Provisions must be made to secure the accessory plug--in
transformer to the outlet. The D--wire (24VAC) from the

Evolution
Access Module, and should not be connected to the SAM
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.

The CAT-5 B- SAM is used differently for previous generation
Evolution systems using the UID/UIZ wall controls versus the
newer Evolution

For previous generation systems using the UID/UIZ wall
controls, the 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. 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 SAM also provides an interface to Home
Automation systems, utilizing either the RS-232 serial port
connection, or the web page function, available on the Local Area
Network (LAN) within the home or building.

INTRODUCTION

R

Connextsystems.

The newer Evolution Connex systems utilize the SAM for ONLY

interface to Home Automation systems, utilizing the RS-232 serial
port connection. The Connex control DOES NOT support the
SAM web page on the LAN, nor connection to the LAN or
Internet through the CAT--5 B--SAM Ethernet port. Use the Wi-Fi
version of the Evolution Connex wall control when connection to
the Internet is desired.

NOTE: The SAM is designed for operation with the previous
generation UID/UIZ wall control systems. As such, it will operate
“as-is” with the newer Evolution Connex systems, and may
display status codes that are unique to the previous generation
UID/UIZ systems, but are irrelevant when the SAM is used with
the newer Evolution Connex systems. In addition, some features
of the RS-232/ASCII home automation interface will NOT be
available with the newer Evolution Connex systems. See the latest
version of the SAM Remote Access Interface Specification,
available on HVACpartners, for more details on the home
automation interface.

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 other use. If the sensor is active, the Evolution system will
not be disabled or shut down.

Computer Requirements (Previous generation
UID/UIZ systems, only)

The CAT--5 B--SAM uses a web--based application to control and
monitor the Evolution system. This application,
www.Evolution.Bryant.com
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.

NOTE: This web--based application for the SAM is NOT
available for Evolution Connex systems. When using these
systems, Internet access is achieved using the Wi-Fi version of the
Evolution Connex control, and accessing the
www.MyEvolutionConnex.com

, will work with any graphic user

website.

SAM INSTALLATION

BEFORE STARTING:

S SYSTXBBUID01 or SYSTXBBUIZ01 (version 14 software

revision or higher),
SYSTXBBEC01, or SYSTXBBECW01 (version 08 software
revision or higher) wall control is required.

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

!

or newer generation SYSTXBBECN01,

WARNING

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.

NOTE: The Ethernet connection is NOT used for newer
generation Evolution Connex systems.

!

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.

For previous generation UID/UIZ systems, Local Area Network
(LAN) connections will require appropriate network wire -­CAT--5e 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.

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 one power
disconnect switch. Lock out and tag switch with a suitable
warning label.

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

LOCATING THE UNIT -- CAT--5 B--SAM is approved for
indoor use only and should never be installed with any of its

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)
