Installation
INSTALLATION
The Beacon II Smart Controller should be installed in a location where the large Liquid
Crystal Display (LCD) can be viewed easily, yet is secure and vibration free. Because of the
LCD screen, the Beacon II Smart Controller should not be mounted where it will experience
temperatures below 40°F or above 100°F.
A terminal strip for wiring connections is located on the base of the Beacon II Smart
Controller. To access this terminal strip, pull both halves of the Beacon II Smart
Controller housing apart. Mounting holes are located in the plastic base.

Wiring
WIRING
All 24 volt wiring must be run separate from the line voltage wiring.
All Low voltage wiring must be 18 gauge minimum and must be run separate from high
voltage wiring. The maximum distance from the Beacon II Smart Controller to the Master
Evaporator is 1000 ft.
The terminal strip in the Beacon II Smart Controller is labeled similarly to that of the
Beacon II boards. Connect the corresponding terminals to those on the Beacon board.
For single Refrigeration system:
Connect MULTI OUT 1 from the Beacon II Smart Controller to the MULTI IN on
the Beacon board on the Evaporator. Then connect MULTI IN 1 from the Beacon II
Smart Controller to the MULTI OUT on the Beacon board on the Evaporator. See
typical wiring diagram at the back of these instructions.
On systems with multiple evaporators the Beacon II Smart Controller must be
wired to the Master Evaporator first. DO NOT disconnect the Room sensor from any
of the Evaporators.
SINGLE SYSTEM CONNECTION
M = Master Evaporator S = Slave Evaporator CU = Condensing unit
For MULTIPLE independent Refrigeration systems:
For the first system, connect MULTI OUT 1 from the Beacon II Smart Controller
to the MULTI IN on the Beacon II board on the Evaporator in this first system. Then
connect MULTI IN 1 from the Beacon II Smart Controller to the MULTI OUT on
the Beacon II board on the Evaporator on this first system. DO NOT disconnect the
Room sensor from any of the Evaporators. See typical wiring diagram at the back of
these instructions.

Power Supply
For the second system, connect MULTI OUT 2 from the Beacon II Smart
Controller to the MULTI IN on the Beacon II board on the Evaporator in this second
system. Then connect MULTI IN 2 from the Beacon II Smart Controller to the
MULTI OUT on the Beacon II board on the Evaporator on this second system. See
typical wiring diagram at the back of these instructions.
On systems with multiple evaporators the Beacon II Smart Controller must be wired to
the Master Evaporator first. DO NOT disconnect the Room sensor from any of the
Evaporators.
DO NOT CONNECT 24V & C BETWEEN EV APORATORS.
The Beacon II Smart Controller and the evaporators are then connected in a daisy–
chain fashion. (See the wiring diagrams in the back of this manual)
A minimum 18 gauge wire should be used. All low voltage wiring must be run separate
from high voltage wiring.

POWER SUPPLY
The Beacon II Smart Controller gets it’s 24 VAC power supply from the evaporator. When
controlling multiple systems, the Beacon II Smart Controller is powered from the evaporator
of only one of the systems. If a power interruption occurs to the system supplying the
Beacon II Smart Controller, the Beacon II Smart Controller LCD screen will go blank. The
other systems will, however, continue to operate and maintain their box temperature.
The Beacon II Smart Controller can be supplied with it’s own power supply by using a 24
VAC Universal Plug-in Power Source with a minimum of 300 mA. When powered by an
independent power supply, if power is lost to the Beacon II Smart Controller the systems

Initialization of Beacon II Smart Controller
will continue to operate and maintain the box temperature. This occurs only if an external
power supply is used on the Beacon II Smart Controller.
If the Beacon II Smart Controller LCD displays all
supply is below 18 VAC. When this occurs the system will power down and shut off. When
the power supply is corrected to 24 VAC, the system will restart after the four-minute hold
off period and resume normal operation. The Beacon II Smart Controller LCD display will
then be normal.

INITIALIZATION of BEACON II SMART CONTROLLER
When power is first applied to the Beacon II Smart Controller it checks the configuration of the
system to which it is connected and stores this in its memory. Beacon II Smart Controller
checks how many condensing units there are and how many evaporators are connected to
each condensing unit. The order in which the units are wired from the multi-out of the Beacon II
Smart Controller determines the unit ID (UNI-4) assigned by the Beacon II Smart Controller .
This is called initialization.
the number of evaporators on a condensing unit), while connected to the Beacon II
Smart Controller, it must be re-initialized.
Place all systems in the service mode before initializing the Beacon II Smart Controller .
Make sure all wiring changes to the system and the Beacon II Smart Controller are complete
and accurate before initializing the Beacon II Smart Controller. Each SLAVE Evaporator must
also be programmed as a SLA VE BEFORE the system is initialized. The “SLA” setpoint must
be set from the board programming. It cannot be done from the Beacon II Smart Controller .
