surrounding equipment. To allow for the number of cables to enter and leave the enclosure, the
minimum dimensions of slotted cable ducts should be 45mm x 45mm with 65mm clearance from the
cable ducts to the terminals of the units.
The communications cable between the Genesis II Direct Digital Controller and REMs, or MPCII
Mid Points Controller and REMS, is through the integrated RS485 REM Comms port in the digital
controller.
NOTE
Unless otherwise noted, Installation Instructions are based on the assumption that the system to be installed is a
local Genesis II System consisting of one Genesis II Direct Digital Controller and three types of REMs. Installation
instructions for other types of hardware, such as the MPCII Mid Points Controller or GENII WMI Wireless Module
Interface, is contained in section 2-4 - Dierence Data.
2-3.1 DIN Rails
The DIN rail is an industry-standard item and is available from a large number of commercial
sources. The rail is usually manufactured from galvanised steel and may be provided with a finish.
It is typically available in 2 metre lengths. DIN rail cutters are available commercially and are
recommended; however, for smaller installations, a hacksaw may be used to cut the rails to the
required length.

Genesis II Installation Instructions
Cabling plays an important role in the installation of Genesis II Systems. The following general
cabling guidelines should be observed:
• In all cases, use electromagnetic-shielded cable for sensor wiring.
• When necessary to protect cabling from physical damage, both shielding and physical protection
may be provided by running the cable in a metal conduit. Alternatively, use steel wire armoured
(SWA) cable, which also contains an electromagnetic shield.
• Avoid running cables in the vicinity of high voltage power cables or cables carrying switching
voltages/currents. This especially applies to sensor signal cables.
• Interconnecting cables must have multi-strand conductors with a cross-sectional area of 1mm² for
each conductor.
• The earth cable to a Genesis II System enclosures must be a minimum of 2.5mm², and wired in
accordance with local electrical regulations.
• For Analogue Inputs to the controller, a 16 conductor (0.5mm²) shielded cable is required.
Table 3 -1 provides assistance in determining the cabling requirements for various installation
configurations. It shows the dimensions, wire gauge designations and resistance values per
unit length for common wire sizes. Use this table to determine specific cabling requirements
for your installation.

Genesis II Installation Instructions
3-3.1.1 Power Input
The Genesis II Direct Digital Controller's power requirements are one of the following:
• 24VAC ±10%, 50/60 Hz, Power Consumption: 15 VA.
• 24VDC ±10%, Power Consumption: 8 Watts.
The operating voltage must meet the requirements of Safety Extra Low Voltage (SELV) to EN60730.
The transformer used must be a safety transformer in compliance with EN60742 and be designed for
100% duty. It must also be sized and fused in compliance with local safety regulations.
A single transformer may be used to supply voltage to more than one unit (such as a Genesis II Direct
Digital Controller and associated Remote Expansion Modules) providing the planned load is well
within the transformer’s rating. The transformer output terminal designated as AC Neutral must be
solidly earthed to the enclosure’s main earth link.
Power input terminals are Terminals 1, 2 and 3 and are detailed below in Table 3-2 .

Genesis II Installation Instructions
3-3.1.2 Digital Inputs
The Genesis II Direct Digital Controller’s eight Digital Input channels (Terminals 4 to 19) provide the
capability of directly interfacing to digital input signal sources such as pushbutton switches and relay
contacts.
Because each Digital Input channel is isolated, the power source for the signal must be external to the
controller. This signal source can be AC or DC. If the source is AC, it can be provided by the auxiliary
transformer.
Digital input signal power requirements are one of the following:
• 24VAC ±15%
• 24VDC ±15%
There are two terminals associated with each Digital Input channel. If an external DC signal source
is used, the even-numbered (le) terminal must be wired as positive and the odd-numbered (right)
terminal as negative.
Refer to Table 3 -3 for Digital Input terminal number assignments. Signal names assigned to the
terminals are DI 1+/- through to DI 8+/-. DI stands for Digital Input, the numeral value represents the
channel number and the + or - sign indicates the signal polarity when using a DC signal power source.

3-3.1.3 Digital Outputs
Each of the Genesis II Direct Digital Controller’s twelve digital output channels (Terminals 42–65)
consists of a single-pole, double-throw (SPDT) relay. The two terminals assigned to each channel
represent the associated relay’s Normally Open (NO) and Common (COM) contacts.
Digital output relay contacts are rated at 24VAC, 2A. Good practice is to use pilot relays for the actual
switching functions, particularly when it applies to inductive loads such as coils, solenoids and
motors. This protects the relays of the Digital Output channel and has the advantage of allowing the
pilot relays to be installed adjacent to the controlling switch-gear.
Refer to Table 3 -4 for Digital Output terminal number assignments.

Genesis II Installation Instructions
3-3.1.4 Analogue Inputs
The Genesis II Direct Digital Controller’s eight Analogue Input channels (Terminals 22-37) allow
the direct interface of various analogue inputs, such as Thermistor, 0-10VDC, 0-5VDC and 4-20 mA
signals. Each Analogue Input channel is configured to the type of input by the use of Analogue Input
Signal Conditioners (AISCs). These are small plug inserts installed during system commissioning (see
Commissioning).
IMPORTANT
Special consideration must be made when using loop-powered 4-20 mA inputs. As this type of input draws 20 mA
from the Digital Controller, a maximum of two inputs of this type may be used. This type of input must not be used
on Remote Expansion Modules.
NOTE
Terminals 20 and 21 are provided for terminating Analogue Cable Screens.
There are two terminals associated with each of the eight Analogue Input channels. Normally, the
even-numbered (positive) terminal is used for the active Analogue Input signal from the sensor. The
odd-numbered (negative) terminal is used to provide the stimulation for the sensor or a voltage
reference (such as 0 Volts) for an active transducer.
Due to the sensitivity of the Analogue Input signals, screened cable must be used. The screens
should be terminated at Terminals 20 or 21.
Refer to Table 3 -5 for Analogue Input terminal number assignments. Signal names assigned to the
terminals are AI1+/- through AI8+/-. AI stands for Analogue Input; the numeral represents the channel
number. The + indicates the active signal and the - indicates the signal reference/return.

3-3.1.5 Analogue Outputs
Sixteen Analogue Output channels are provided. Each channel can be configured, through the
Gen2Config soware, to operate in either the Variable Mode or the Heat Valve Mode.
In the Variable Mode, the output is a voltage-analogue signal varying from 0 to +10 Volts with a
maximum current rating of 5mA. In the Heat Valve Mode, the output signal consists of Pulse-Width
Modulated (PWM), 0-10V, high-speed pulses at 5mA.
For a description of PWM as it applies to Heat Valve Operation, refer to the Innotech Genesis II Direct
Digital Controller User Manual.
When using PWM outputs, up to three solid state relays, connected in series, may be used on each
Heat Valve-configured analogue output channel. See Figure 3-3.
A maximum of eight Analogue Output channels can be applied to Heat Valve operation. For more
than eight Heat Valve outputs, it is recommended that Models IHV4002 or IHV4004 for Heat Valves for
Solid State Relays or IHV4212, IHV4224 or IHV4214 Staging Heat Valves for Solid State Relays be used.
These heat valves are driven by the Digital Controller’s Analogue Output channel in the Variable
Mode.
For more information on these devices, refer to:
• Datasheet DS3.31 for Type IHV Heat Valves.
• Datasheet DS3.32 for Type IHV42 Heat Valves.

3-3.2.1 Power Input
The MPCII Mid Points Controller's power requirements are one of the following:
• 24VAC ±10%, 50/60Hz, Power Consumption: 7 VA
• 24VDC ±10%, Power Consumption: 4 Watts
The operating voltage must meet the requirements of Safety Extra Low Voltage (SELV) to EN60730.
The transformer used must be a safety transformer in compliance with EN60742 and be designed for
100% duty. It must also be sized and fused in compliance with local safety regulations.
A single transformer may be used to supply voltage to more than one unit (such as a MPCII Mid Points
Controller and associated Remote Expansion Modules) providing the planned load is well within the
transformer’s rating. The transformer output terminal designated as AC Neutral must be solidly
earthed to the enclosure’s main earth link.
Power input terminals are Terminals 1, 2 and 3 and are detailed below in Table 3-8:

Genesis II Installation Instructions
3-3.2.2 Digital Inputs
The MPCII Mid Points Controller’s four Digital Input channels (Terminals 4 to 11) provide the capability
of directly interfacing to digital input signal sources such as pushbutton switches and relay contacts.
Because each Digital Input channel is isolated, the power source for the signal must be external to the
controller. This signal source can be AC or DC. If the source is AC, it can be provided by the auxiliary
transformer.
Digital input signal power requirements are one of the following:
• 24 VAC ±15%
• 12 VDC ±15%
There are two terminals associated with each Digital Input channel. If an external DC signal source
is used, the even-numbered (le) terminal must be wired as positive and the odd-numbered (right)
terminal as negative.
The MPCII Mid Points Controller's Digital Input terminals are not assigned numbers; however, each
Digital Input terminal is clearly labelled as to its polarity and signal name. Signal names assigned to
the terminals are DI 1+/- through DI 4+/-.
Refer to Table 3 -9 for the MPCII Mid Points Controller's Digital Input Signal Conditions:

3-3.2.3 Digital Outputs
Each of the MPCII Mid Points Controller’s eight digital output channels consists of a single-pole,
double-throw (SPDT) relay. The two terminals assigned to each channel represent the associated
relay’s Normally Open (NO) and Common (COM) contacts.
Digital output relay contacts are rated at 24VAC, 2A (to be supplied by a Class 2 Transformer).
Good practice is to use pilot relays for the actual switching functions, particularly when it applies to
inductive loads such as coils, solenoids and motors. This protects the relays of the Digital Output
channel and has the advantage of allowing the pilot relays to be installed adjacent to the controlling
switch-gear.
The MPCII Mid Points Controller's Digital Output terminals are not assigned numbers; however, each
Digital Output terminal is clearly labelled as to its polarity and signal name. Signal names assigned to
the terminals are DO 1(NO/COM) through DO 8(NO/COM).
Refer to Table 3 -10 for Digital Output terminal number assignments:

3-3.2.4 Analogue Inputs
The MPCII Mid Points Controller’s four Analogue Input channels allow the direct interface of various
analogue inputs, such as Thermistor, 0-10VDC, 0-5VDC and 4-20mA signals. Each Analogue Input
channel is configured to the type of input by the use of Analogue Input Signal Conditioners (AISCs).
These are small plug inserts installed during system commissioning (Mechanical Installation).
There are two terminals associated with each of the four analogue input channels. Normally, the
even-numbered (positive) terminal is used for the active Analogue Input signal from the sensor. The
odd-numbered (negative) terminal is used to provide the stimulation for the sensor or a voltage
reference (such as 0 Volts) for an active transducer.
Due to the sensitivity of the Analogue Input signals, screened cable must be used. The screens
should be terminated at the Screen Terminals, located between the Digital Input and Analogue Input
terminals on the MPCII Mid Points Controller.
The MPCII Mid Points Controller's Analogue Input terminals are not assigned numbers; however, each
Analogue Input terminal is clearly labelled as to its polarity and signal name. Signal names assigned
to the terminals are AI 1+/- through AI 4+/-.
Refer to Table 3 -11 for Analogue Input terminal number assignments.
IMPORTANT
Special consideration must be made when using loop-powered 4-20mA inputs. As this type of input draws 20mA
from the Digital Controller, a maximum of two inputs of this type may be used. This type of input must not be used
on Remote Expansion Modules.
NOTE
Screen Terminals, located between the Digital Input and Analogue Input terminals on the MPCII Mid Points
Controller, are provided for terminating Analogue Cable Screens.

3-3.2.5 Analogue Outputs
The MPCII Mid Points Controller has four Analogue Output channels. Each channel can be configured,
through the Gen2Config Soware, to operate in either the Variable Mode or the Heat Valve Mode.
In the Variable Mode, the output is a voltage-analogue signal varying from 0 to +10 Volts with a
maximum current rating of 5mA. In the Heat Valve Mode, the output signal consists of Pulse-Width
Modulated (PWM), 0-10V, high-speed pulses at 5mA.
For a description of PWM as it applies to Heat Valve Operation, refer to the Innotech MPCII Mid Points
Controller User Manual.
When using PWM outputs, up to three solid state relays, connected in series, may be used on each
Heat Valve-configured analogue output channel. See Figure 3-5.
For more than four Heat Valve outputs, it is recommended that Models IHV4002 or IHV4004 Heat
Valves for Solid State Relays be used. These heat valves are driven by the Digital Controller’s
Analogue Output channel in the Variable Mode.
For more information on these devices, refer to:

3-3.2.6 REM Connector
The MPCII Mid Points Controller has the facility for I/O expansion using Remote Expansion Modules
(REMs). Each REM provides an array of points which can be connected to a sub network up to 600
metres in length.
The fieen REMs can be made up of any mix of the available types with one exception - the MP REM.
The MP REM can only be addressed between 1 and 8 and only 8 MP REMS can be used.
The REM connector is a 4 way terminal connection that provides access between the MPCII Mid Points
Controller and the expansion modules.
The individual REMs are connected to the device by means of an RS485 Comms cabling arrangement,
as explained below in 3-4 Wiring of Remote Expansion Modules.

Modules (REMs) used in the Genesis II System:
• GENII AI REM Analogue Input Module (3-4.3)
• GENII AO REM Analogue Output Module (3-4.4)
• GENII DI REM Dry Contact Digital Input Module (3-4.5)
• GENII DO REM Digital Output Module (3-4.6)
• GENII IDI REM Opto Isolated Digital Input Module (3-4.7)
• GENII PI REM Pulse Input Module (3-4.8)
• GENII MZS REM Multi Zone Station Module (3-4.9)
• GENII MZSAH REM Zone Control Station A/H (3-4.10)
• GENII CS REM Control Station Module (3-4.11)
• GENII CSAH REM Control Station Aer Hours Module (3-4.12)
• GENII CSFCAH REM Control Station Fan Control, Aer Hours Module (3-4.13)
• GENII MP405 Multipoint Module (3-4.14)
• GENII MP414 Multipoint Module (3-4.15)
• GENII MP423 Multipoint Module (3-4.16)
• GENII MP432 Multipoint Module (3-4.17)
• GENII Wireless Module Interface (3-4.18)
• SENRx Wireless Temperature Sensors (3-4.19)
Communication between the Genesis II Direct Digital Controller or MPCII Mid Points Controller and
REMs is by way of a RS485 cable connected between the dedicated REM network socket on the digital
controller and the REM network.
The method for connecting the modules to electrical power and to the RS485 Comms cable system
is similar for most of the dierent types of modules, except where otherwise noted. The following
two paragraphs provide detailed instructions for connecting electrical power and the RS485 system,
respectively.
3-4.1 REM Power Connections
Power requirements are 24VAC, ±10% at 50/60 Hz. Refer to the appropriate paragraph below for the
physical location of the power connection block within each type of REM. At the power connection
block, the 24VAC power terminals are:
• Terminal 1 = 24VAC Supply
• Terminal 2 = 0VAC Supply
• Terminal 3 = Earth
Terminal 3 is for the protection of the RS485 Comms circuitry and must be connected to a good,
electrically bonded earth. This may be the earth bus bar of the switchboard or the point that
connects the chassis of the equipment the module is located in. This connection is independent of
and in addition to the earthed AC Neutral at Terminal 2.
CAUTION
Do not connect Terminal 3 to Terminal 2.

3-4.2 REM Comms Connections
The RS485 Comms link between the Genesis II Direct Digital Controller and REMs, or the MPCII Mid
Points Controller and REMs, is designed to allow reliable communications over long distances in
electrically adverse signal conditions.
The following guidelines, which are common to all REMs, should be followed when installing the
RS485 Comms network:
• Cables used for RS485 Comms must be shielded, single twisted pair, 120 Ohms characteristic
impedance with 36 to 45 picoFarads per metre capacitance between conductors.
• The RS485 Comms cable must be organised as a bus topology. See 5-3.3 for a description of bus
topology. To connect a module to the RS485 cable, the cable is cut at the point the module is
to be connected. Then, the two new cable ends are wired into the module. The two shields are
then terminated at terminals marked SHLD1 and SHLD2 respectively. “Stub” connections are not
allowed in the bus topology configuration.
• The cable run between the digital controller and any other REM must not exceed 600 metres in
length.
On most units, the RS485 Comms connection block contains four terminals. The four terminals on
the standard RS485 connection block are:
• S1 Screen of Cable Number 1
• + Positive Comms Line
• - Negative Comms Line
• S2 Screen of Cable Number 2
The four-terminal arrangement accommodates the use of one or two RS485 Comms cables. A
single cable connection is used when the module is located at the end of the network and two cable
connections are used when the REM is connected to a point in the cable network other than the end.
An End of Cable Jumper plug near the RS485 connection block provides the proper termination
impedance for the Comms line. If only single RS485 Comms cable is connected to the module, the
End of Cable Jumper must be installed. If two cables are fitted, the End of Cable Jumper must be
removed.
IMPORTANT
The RS485 Comms System will not function properly if the connection polarities are incorrect. Ensure correct
polarity of the connections throughout the length of the Comms Cable.
Figure 3-6 shows how to connect a two-cable Comms network to a module. If the module has only
one RS485 Comms cable connected to it, the cable screen must be connected to S1. If two Comms
cables are fitted, the screen of the second cable must be connected to the S2 terminal. Screens must
not be connected to each other.

3-4.18 GENII WMI Wireless Module Interface
The Innotech GENII WMI Wireless Module Interface is a remote expansion for the Genesis II Direct
Digital Controller or MPCII Mid Points Controller. The GENII WMI provides an interface to the SENRx
series of wireless temperature sensors.
The GENII WMI (Figure 3-22) is powered by 24VAC ±10% @ 50/60Hz. Power Consumption is 4 VA
maximum.
There are no inputs or outputs on a GENII WMI. It is designed to receive the input data from any
SENRx modules located up to 20 metres away (depending on obstructions).
Figure 3-22: GENII WMI Wireless Module Interface
The RS485 Comms connection block is in the upper right section of the module and the End of Cable
Jumper is next to it (Figure 3-22).
The Cable run between the Genesis II Direct Digital Controller and GENII WMI, or MPCII Mid Points
Controller and GENII WMI, should not exceed 600 metres. The Comms wiring requires cable especially
suited for RS485. Other shielded cable is not suitable and may cause spasmodic Comms failures.
The GENII WMI should be mounted within a 20 metre radius (depending on obstructions) of all SENRx
modules from which it will be receiving data (Figure 3-23). The location should be dry, clean and free
of excess vibration.
GENII WMI modules operate within the 2.4-2.5 GHz worldwide unlicensed Industrial-Scientific-Medical
(ISM) frequency band.
There are four jumpers located in a row on the GENII WMI, labelled F0, F1, F2 and F3. These select
the frequency channel to use within the 2.4-2.5 GHz range. Typically, these jumpers need only be
changed if multiple GENII WMIs are used, or in areas with poor reception or strong interference.
IMPORTANT
• The unit must be powered down before jumpers are altered. Anti-static precautions should be taken when
changing addresses or adding or removing cabling from the terminals.
• The frequency jumpers on the GENII WMI must exactly match the frequency jumpers on any SENRx modules to be
communicated with.

Genesis II Installation Instructions
3-4.19 SENRx Series Wireless Temperature Sensors
The Innotech SENRx Series Wireless Temperature Sensors are remote expansion devices for the
Genesis II range of digital controllers. There are four unique models in the SENRx series:
• SENR1: Temperature Sensor, Low Battery Indicator.
• SENR2: Temperature Sensor, Low Battery Indicator, Set Point Adjustment.
• SENR5: Temperature Sensor, Low Battery Indicator, Aer Hours Button.
• SENR5: Temperature Sensor, Low Battery Indicator, Set Point Adjustment, Aer Hours Button.
The SENRx Series Wireless Temperature Sensors (Figure 3-23) are powered by 3.6VDC ½AA Lithium
Battery. Battery life is 12 months minimum.
There are no inputs or outputs on a SENRx Series Wireless Temperature Sensor. They are designed to
send the output data to a GENII WMI Wireless Module Interface located up to 20 m away (depending
on obstructions).
Figure 3-23: SENRx Wireless Temperature Sensor (Back View)
Page 73
© Mass Electronics Pty Ltd 2010Chapter 3 – Electrical Installation
Genesis II Installation Instructions
SENRx modules should be mounted within a 20 m radius (depending on obstructions) of the GENII
WMI Wireless Module Interface in a dry and clean location free of excess vibration.
To remove the battery from a SENRx module, simply insert a flat screwdriver underneath the battery
between the two clips and lever the battery out (Figure 3-23). When re-inserting the battery, press
and hold the “RESET” button. Release the “RESET” button aer the battery is located back in the
clips.
There are two sets of four jumpers located on the back of the SENRx module (Figure 3-23). The set of
jumpers closest to the battery are labelled A0, A1, A2 and A3. These set the network address of the
SENRx module in the same manner as GENII REM products.
Directions for setting the address are shown in the wiring diagram generated by the GEN2Config
soware. The jumpers located on the far right of the SENRx module are labelled F0, F1, F2 and F3.
These select the frequency channel to use within the 2.4-2.5 GHz range. Typically, these jumpers
need only be changed if multiple Wireless Module Interfaces are used or in areas with poor reception
or strong interference. The frequency jumpers on the SENRx module must exactly match the
frequency jumpers on the GENII WMI module to be communicated with.
IMPORTANT
If any jumpers on a module need to be changed, the unit must be powered down before the jumpers are altered.
This can be achieved by removing the battery as described above. Antistatic precautions should be taken when
changing jumpers or removing the battery.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Chapter 4 Commissioning
Genesis II Installation Instructions
4-1 Introduction
The commissioning phase begins upon completion of the mechanical and electrical installation
of the system and is the phase in which the user makes the system ready for operation. The
commissioning process consists of performing the following procedures, which are explained
elsewhere in this section:
• Inspect the Installation
• Check Input and Output Wiring
• Install Analogue Input Signal Conditioners (AISCs)
• Set Jumpers (such as address jumpers and end-of-cable termination jumpers)
• Apply Partial Power
• Load Soware and Configure the Controller(s)
• Initial Tests
• Final System Checkout
CAUTION
To prevent injury to personnel and damage to equipment, all electrical power must be o before starting the
commissioning process this includes power to the Genesis units and power to input and output circuits and
equipment. When working with live power ensure that all electrical safety standards for work on live electrical
systems meet local regulatory requirements. Do not apply power to any unit or circuit until instructed to do so by
procedures in this section.
4-1.1 Inspect the Installation
Referring to Chapters 2, 3 and 5, inspect the entire system for correct mechanical, electrical and
network installation. Correct any discrepancies noted. Inspection should include the factors listed
in the following paragraphs, as a minimum.
4-1.1.1 Mechanical Inspection
Ensure that all units and enclosures are free of debris such as dust, metal chips, moisture, etc. That
may have been deposited during installation. Clean as necessary.
• Ensure all covers are properly installed. Exceptions are the CS REM Control Station Module and
MZS REM Multi Zone Station Module, which should be covered by plastic at this time (see 3-4.9 to
3-4.13).
• Ensure all units and DIN-rails are solidly mounted.
• Check cable ducts. Ensure they are placed so that cables entering and leaving the ducts do not
make overly tight bends.
• Make sure all units are located to provide safe access for operation and maintenance.
• Make sure all units are located where they are not subject to temperature extremes beyond the 0 40°C range.
• Make sure all units are located as far as practical from high current or high voltage cables or
sources of RF emissions.
• Ensure if wireless sensors are used that a GEN II WMI wireless module interface (WMI) is connected
to and no further than 500 metres from the Genesis II Direct Digital Controller or MPCII Mid Points
Controller and that each wireless sensor is no further than 20 metres from the WMI.
• Do not install the WMI inside a fully enclosed metal switch board.
Page 76 © Mass Electronics Pty Ltd 2010Edition 2.0 dated 06/12/2013
Genesis II Installation Instructions
4-1.1.2 Electrical Inspection
• Make sure all sources of electrical power, including power to ancillary items are o.
• Check all input and output connections against the computer-generated wiring diagram supplied
for your installation.
• Ensure all connections are in accordance with the wiring diagram and that connections are solidly
made.
• Ensure all enclosures are solidly earthed.
• Check all input and output cabling; ensure cabling requirements of Section 3 - Electrical
Installation are met.
• Make sure all cables, especially analogue input cables, are routed clear of high current, high
voltage or high speed switching current cables and other sources of interference.
• If using Remote Expansion Modules (REMs) make sure the cable run between does not exceed 600
metres in length.
• Inspect all cables running external to the enclosure. Ensure they are free from potential
mechanical damage, such as impacts and chafing.
Cabling plays an important role in the installation of Genesis II Systems. The following general
cabling guidelines should be observed:
• In all cases, use electromagnetic-shielded cable for sensor wiring.
• When necessary to protect cabling from physical damage, both shielding and physical protection
may be provided by running the cable in a metal conduit. Alternatively, use steel wire armoured
(SWA) cable, which also contains an electromagnetic shield.
• Avoid running cables in the vicinity of high voltage power cables or cables carrying switching
voltages/currents. This especially applies to sensor signal cables.
• Interconnecting cables must have multi-strand conductors with a cross-sectional area of 1mm2 for
each conductor.
• The earth cable to Genesis II enclosures must be 2.5mm2.
• For analogue inputs to the controller, a 16 conductor (0.5mm2) shielded cable is required.
Table 3 -1 provides assistance in determining the cabling requirements for various installation
configurations. It shows the dimensions, wire gauge designations and resistance values per unit
length for common wire sizes. Use Table 3-1 to determine specific cabling requirements for your
installation.
4-1.2 Check Input and Output Wiring
The purpose of checking the input and output wiring is two-fold. Firstly, the wiring is checked to
verify that it is connected properly, thus ensuring proper operation of the system. Secondly, the
wiring is also checked to ensure the absence of any external voltages that could damage a Genesis
unit. The following paragraphs contain instructions for checking inputs and outputs.
4-1.2.1 Checking Power Inputs
Power inputs must be checked to ensure that the applied voltage is of the proper level and, in the
case of DC power inputs, of the correct polarity. Table 4-1 shows the input voltage specifications for
the various types of units. Most units operate on 24VAC 10%, 50/60 Hz.
Controllers can be provided with an optional 24VDC ±10% power capability. Procedures for checking
the 24VAC and 24VDC units are similar, except that: for 24VAC units, AC Neutral must be at earth
potential and connected to Terminal 2. For 24VDC units, Terminal 1 must be positive and Terminal 2
negative.

4-1.2.4 Internal-Source Digital Inputs
The GENII DI REM provides eight dry contact (voltage-free) inputs to sense contact closure from
field equipment. The eight digital inputs are connected to terminals A through H (see Figure 4-3).
Contacts I and J are signal common terminals. The REM provides 5VDC between each input and
common. This voltage is shorted to common when the switch is closed. Check the digital input
wiring as follows:
1. Tag and disconnect the RS485 Comms cable(s) from the RS485 Comms Connector at the upperright corner of the REM. The cable shields may be le connected if desired.
2. Apply 24VAC operating power to the GENII DI REM. Power o other units.
3. Set the digital voltmeter range to read at least 5.0VDC.
4. Connect the voltmeter between the first digital input channel (Terminal A) and the associated
switch common (Terminal I or J). Observe polarity, ensuring the red (+) test lead is connected to
Terminal A and the black (-) test lead is connected to the switch common terminal.
5. Observe the voltmeter. It should indicate 5VDC with the input switch open.
CAUTION
Avoid risk of electrical shock observe all local electrical safety requirements when performing the nest step.
6. Manually close the input switch. If that is not practical, connect a short jumper wire across the
contacts.
7. Observe the voltmeter. It should indicate 0VDC with the input switch closed.
8. Release the manually-closed contacts. If a jumper wire was used in Step 6, remove the jumper
wire.
9. Repeat Steps 4 through 8 for the remaining digital input channels.
10. Remove operating power from the REM.
11. Reconnect the RS485 cable that was disconnected in Step 1.
CAUTION
• Digital outputs are controlled by relays within the associated Genesis unit. These relays are connected to the
external circuits that can contain up to 24VAC.
• Procedures in this manual require checking these circuits with power applied. To avoid death or serious injury by
electrical shock, use extreme caution when working with energised circuits and follow precautions in this manual.
• Checks are to be performed only by qualified, licensed electricians who are familiar with local safety procedures.
Under no circumstances should anyone other than a qualified electrician perform these checks.

Figure 4-3: Checking Dry Contact Inputs
4-1.2.5 Checking Digital Output Wiring
Digital outputs of the various units are interfaced through relays, each having single-pole changeover
contacts.

The following units contain only Normally Open (NO) digital output contacts in each digital output
channel:
• GENII DDC Digital Controller
• MPCII Mid Points Controller
• GENII DO REM Relay Output Module
• GENII MP REM Multipoint Module
Relay contacts in all units with digital outputs are rated at 24VAC, 2 A with the exception of the MP
REM Multipoint Modules which are rated at 240 AC, 16 A. For this reason, the presence of lethal
voltages at the relay contacts should be anticipated. Even though good wiring practice is to use
lower voltage pilot relays when controlling higher voltage equipment, this practice can not be
guaranteed and it is possible that the relay contacts will carry dangerous voltages. For this reason, it
is important that only a qualified electrician, familiar with safety practices, check the digital output
wiring.

Genesis II Installation Instructions
Before checking the digital output circuits, it is important to ensure that there are no short circuits
in the external wiring which could cause the contact current to exceed the rated amount. Current in
excess of this through the relay contacts will result in permanent damage to the unit.
Following is a general description of the process for safely checking digital output circuits. Specific
procedures for checking the wiring are provided toward the end of this paragraph (see Figure 4-4).
With power applied to the digital output circuits, but not to the Genesis unit, the output circuits are
checked for operation. Devices connected between the NO and C terminals should be de-energised.
If the operational status cannot be determined by observation (indicator lamp on/o, fan running/
not running, etc.) a voltmeter is placed across the device to determine whether or not it is energised.
The output circuits are then checked for the opposite condition. For circuits using the NO contacts,
a jumper wire is temporarily connected between the NO and C terminals; the associated device is
checked to make sure it is energised.
IMPORTANT
Before performing the following procedures ensure there are no short circuits in the digital output wiring which
could cause the relay contact current to exceed the maximum amperes, excess relay contact current will cause
permanent and irreparable damage to the unit.
The following are procedures for checking digital output wiring; refer to the Electrical Installation
chapter for output terminal numbers for the applicable Genesis units:
1. Ensure there is no operating power applied to the Genesis unit to be checked nor is power
applied to any of the digital output circuits.
2. Start at the first device connected to the NO contacts. If the device cannot be checked for
operation by simple observation, connect a digital voltmeter across it. Set the voltmeter range
for the expected voltage.
3. Apply operating power to the output device.
4. Determine that the device is de-energised, either by direct observation of the device itself or by
checking that the volt-ohm-meter indicates an open circuit.
5. Remove operating power from the output device.
6. Temporarily connect a jumper wire between to NO and C contacts. Ensure that the jumper wire
is of adequate size to temporarily carry the load.
7. Apply operating power to the output device.
8. Determine that the device is energised, either by direct observation of the device itself or by
checking that the voltmeter indicates full operating voltage.
9. Remove operating power from the output device.
10. Remove the jumper wire connected in Step 6.
11. Repeat Step 2 through Step 10 for the remaining output devices connected to the NO contacts.

The analogue input wiring for the following Genesis units should be checked as part of the
commissioning process:
24V
AC/DC
0V 24V
AC/DC
• GENII DDC Digital Controller
• MPCII Mid Points Controller
• GENII AI REM
Checking analogue input wiring requires special consideration due to the wide variety of analogue
input devices that may be used in the system. Some input devices function as signal voltage sources;
some devices function in the loop current mode and others provide resistive inputs to the Genesis
unit. For this reason there is no single procedure that can be used on all analogue inputs.
Procedures presented in this manual are based on identifying the type of Analogue Input Signal
Conditioner (AISC) assigned to each analogue input channel. Since each analogue input device
requires a specific AISC type to match the signal to the Genesis unit, the type of AISC assigned to
an analogue input channel indicates the type of input signal and the range. The various types of
AISCs are listed in Table 4 -3 along with the type of analogue signal and the range. Reference to the
paragraph containing the instructions for checking the input wiring is also provided in Table 4 -3.

Genesis II Installation Instructions
For example, an analogue input channel that has Model TH2 AISC assigned receives its input from a
thermistor device; the input circuit is checked by measuring its resistance, which should be between
0 and 2k. Procedures for checking the resistance are contained in section 4-1.2.9.
The type of AISC for each analogue input channel is determined when the system configuration is
established by the Genesis Configuration Soware prior to delivery. The configuration soware
automatically generates a Materials List and a Wiring Diagram, which are delivered with the system.
The Materials List shows the number of AISCs by type but does not show which analogue input
channels they are assigned to. The Wiring Diagram (Figure 4-5) identifies the AISC type for each
analogue input channel.
When an Analogue Input Module REM is used, the output of the REM is connected to one of the
controller’s analogue input channels. When checking the analogue connection between the GEN II AI
REM and a controller, ensure the cable is wired in accordance with the Electrical Installation chapter
and is free of potential physical damage. Ensure also that the cable is routed outside of the cable
ducts.

4-1.2.7 Voltage Checks
IMPORTANT
The wiring checks in the following paragraphs are performed with AISCs removed. The units are delivered with
their AISCs removed. Do not install the AISCs until all wiring checks are completed.
This paragraph contains procedures for checking analogue inputs associated with AISC Models D05,
D33, V05 and V10. Note from Table 4-3 that inputs associated with Digital AISC D05 will be either Zero
Volts OR 5VDC but not between the two extremes. The same is true for AISC D33 except that the
voltage range is Zero OR 10VDC.
Note also that inputs associated with AISC Models V05 (0 – 5VDC) and V10 (0 – 10VDC) may be at any
value within the ranges noted.
IMPORTANT
Ensure that no AC voltage is present on either terminal. AC voltage at the input terminals can cause damage to the
unit also the unit will not operate properly if the analogue input signal polarity is incorrect.
Procedures for performing voltage checks are:
1. Ensure all AISCs have been removed and no power is applied to the Genesis II Digital Controller.
2. Connect a digital voltmeter to the input terminals; set the voltmeter to indicate VAC. Ensure
there is no AC voltage present on either terminal. If AC voltage is measured, check the analogue
input wiring for faults/errors.
3. Set the digital voltmeter to indicate VDC. Set the range for the expected voltage value shown in
Table 4 -3.
4. Connect the voltmeter across the analogue input terminals observing polarity. If necessary,
reduce the voltmeter range to obtain an accurate reading.
5. Ensure the measured voltage is within the expected range and of the correct polarity. If not,
check the analogue input wiring for faults/errors
6. Repeat Steps 2 through 5 for the remaining inputs associated with the AISC models noted
above.
4-1.2.8 Current Checks
This paragraph contains procedures for checking analogue inputs associated with AISC Models I05,
I20, P20, TD1 and TD2.
CAUTION
Procedures in this paragraph require connecting a 500 Ohm resistor across the analogue input terminals and
measuring the resultant voltage. Although 500 Ohms is suitable in most cases, some applications may require a
higher value of resistance to avoid damage to circuits. Always ensure that a suitable resistor is used.
Analogue inputs associated with the I05, I20, TD1 and TD2 AISCs are checked by measuring voltage
across a resistance connected in series with the current source. A 500 Ohm resistance is normally
suitable for this procedure.
Page 88 © Mass Electronics Pty Ltd 2010Edition 2.0 dated 06/12/2013
Genesis II Installation Instructions
The matrix below lists the expected voltages to be measured across a 500 Ohm resistance for the
various values of input current. For other resistor values use Ohm’s Law (V=IR) to determine the
voltage.
INPUT VOLTAGE
AISC CURRENT ACROSS 500 ohms
I05 0 – 5 mA 0 – 2.5VDC
I20 4 – 20 mA 2 – 10VDC
TD1 0 – 250 A 0 – 0.125VDC
TD2 0 – 500 A 0 – 0.25VDC
Inputs associated with the P20 AISC are 4 – 20 mA loop-powered inputs. These inputs cannot be
conveniently checked in the same manner as the other current inputs without applying power to the
Genesis II Digital Controller before it is safe to do so. Loop powered input wiring is checked by using a
voltmeter to ascertain that there is no stray voltage present at the input terminals. The input wiring
is then visually inspected for proper connection.
The following are procedures for performing current checks:
1. Ensure all AISCs have been removed and no power is applied to the Genesis II Digital Controller.
2. For analogue inputs associated with P20 AISCs go to Step 9.
3. Temporarily connect a 500-Ohm (or suitable value) resistor across the terminals of the first
current input channel to be checked.
4. Set a digital voltmeter to indicate VDC. Set the range for the expected voltage value shown in
the matrix above.
5. Connect the voltmeter across the analogue input terminals observing polarity. If necessary,
reduce the voltmeter range to obtain an accurate reading.
6. Ensure the measured voltage is within the expected range and of the correct polarity. If not,
check the analogue input wiring for faults/errors.
7. Remove the temporary resistor connected in Step 3. above. Repeat Steps 2 through 7 for the
remaining inputs associated with the AISC models noted above.
8. To check inputs for the P20 type AISC, connect a digital voltmeter across the input terminals. Do
not connect a resistor across the terminals. Reduce the voltmeter range to the lowest setting
practical. If voltage is present at the input terminals, it indicates a fault or improper wiring of
the input circuit.
9. Visually inspect the wiring of the P20 type analogue input. Ensure that all wiring conforms to
the associated wiring diagram. Ensure correct polarity is maintained throughout.
4-1.2.9 Resistance Checks
This paragraph contains procedures for checking analogue inputs associated with AISC Models TH1
through TH9. Checking these inputs consists of performing a simple continuity/resistance check.
Procedures for performing voltage checks are:
1. Ensure all AISCs have been removed and no power is applied to the Genesis II Digital Controller.
2. Set a digital volt-ohm-meter to indicate Ohms. Set the ohmmeter range to the resistance value
shown in Table 4-3.
3. Connect the volt-ohm-meter across the analogue input terminals.
4. Ensure the measured resistance is within the expected range. If it is not, check the analogue
input wiring for faults/errors
5. Repeat Steps 2 through 4 for the remaining inputs associated with AISC Models TH1 through
TH9.

Genesis II Installation Instructions
4-1.2.10 Checking Analogue Output Wiring
Analogue output wiring is checked for the following reasons:
• To ensure the analogue output terminals are free of any external voltage
• To check continuity through the external analogue circuit
• To ensure the resistance of the external analogue circuit is suicient to avoid overloading the
analogue output circuit.
The following procedures apply to analogue outputs of the GENII DDC Digital Controller, MPCII Mid
Points Controller, GENII AO REM Analogue Output Module and the GENII MP REM Multipoint Module.
Refer to the Electrical Installation chapter for analogue output terminal numbers for the applicable
Genesis units.
Procedures for performing Analogue Output wiring checks are:
1. Ensure the operating power to the unit is o.
2. Turn on the excitation and operating power for the digital inputs, digital outputs and, as
applicable, the analogue inputs. The reason for this step is to detect the presence of voltages at
the analogue output terminals that may be caused by “sneak” circuits or wiring errors.
3. At the analogue output terminal, disconnect the active signal wire for the first analogue output.
4. Connect a digital voltmeter between the disconnected signal wire and the common terminal.
5. The voltmeter should indicate Zero Volts. Set the voltmeter range as low as possible to ensure
there is no voltage present.
6. Set the volt-ohm-meter to the Ohms range. The volt-ohm-meter should indicate a minimum
resistance of 2,000 or 5,000 Ohms (See note below). A reading of Infinite Ohms indicates an
open circuit condition that should be corrected.
7. Disconnect the meter and reconnect the signal wire disconnected in Step 3.
8. Repeat Step 3 through Step 7 for the remaining analogue outputs.
9. Turn o any power applied in Step 2.
NOTE
The analogue output circuit resistance for the Genesis II Digital Controller and the MPCII Mid Points Controller
should be at least 2,000 Ohms. The circuit resistance for the GENII AO REM should be at least 5,000 Ohms.
4-1.3 Install AISCs
Analogue Input Signal Conditioners (also referred to as Input Straps in some other Innotech
documents) are insert plugs used to configure the Genesis II unit’s input to match the analogue input
device. All units having analogue inputs require an AISC for each input channel; these units are:
• Genesis II Digital Controller
• MPCII Mid Points Controller
• GENII AI REM Analogue Input Module
With all power o, and using the computer-generated wiring diagram (Figure 4-5) as a guide, insert
each AISC module into its assigned slot. The modules are keyed to prevent them from being pluggedin backwards. When all AISCs are installed, double-check the installation. The system will not
operate correctly with an AISC plugged into the wrong slot.

4-1.4 Set Jumper Plugs
Various jumper plugs throughout the system must be set properly before power can be applied to the
system.
There are 4 categories of jumper plug:
Address Plugs set the address of each Remote Expansion Module
• Analogue Output plugs are used to select either Variable or Heat Valve Mode of operation for
analogue outputs. Refer to section 3-3.1.5 for a definition of Variable and Heat Valve Modes.
• End-of-Cable jumpers provide the proper termination impedance for the RS485 Comms Cable. It is
installed in the last unit of the cable run
• Frequency Plugs set the frequency of each wireless Remote Expansion Module or Interface
The computer-generated wiring diagram (Figure 4-5) shows the locations and required settings for
each address jumper and analogue output jumper.
Table 4 -4 is provided as an aid for properly setting the various jumper plugs. The table lists

Although the locations of End-of-Cable jumpers are not shown on the computer-generated wiring
diagram, they are easily located close to the unit’s RS485 Comms connector. Figure 4-7 shows the
location of the End-of-Cable jumper for a GENII AI REM unit. Jumpers for other units are similarly
placed. The rule for installing an End-of-Cable jumper is:
• If only one cable is connected into an RS485 Comms connector, a jumper must be installed in that
unit.
• If two cables are connected to the same RS485 Comms connector, the jumper plug must be le
open.
All units along the RS485 Comms network should be carefully checked to ensure that jumpers are
installed only in the last unit in the network.

4-1.4.3 Analogue Output Jumpers
An analogue output jumper plug arrangement is provided for each analogue output channel. The
three-pin jumper sockets will accept a shorting plug between the centre pin and either of the
outside pins. Depending upon which pair of pins the jumper is connected to, the analogue output
is configured for either the Variable Mode or the Heat Valve Mode. For inactive analogue output
channels, the jumper is not installed in either position. In such cases the jumper plug can be
conveniently stored in the unit by inserting only one end of the plug into the socket.
The computer-generated wiring diagram shows the location and jumper position for each analogue
output in the system. Figure 4-8 shows a portion of a typical wiring diagram centred on a Genesis II

4-1.5 Load Soware and Configure the Controller(s)
The Innotech configuration soware program was prepared for your Genesis System at the factory
before delivery of the system. The soware contains all the data for internally configuring the
controller(s) to perform the specific functions for which it was intended. Until the controller is
configured, it can not accept input signals or produce outputs.
To configure the controller(s), a Windows-based PC and the applicable version of the Innotech
Gen2Config program are required. A soware disk is provided with the Genesis hardware at delivery.
The disk contains a program called Gen2Works, which is a collection of several Innotech programs,
including Gen2Config. The other soware programs supplied in Gen2Works are for the purpose of
enhancing operation and de-bugging of the system. But it is the Gen2Config soware that is required
for commissioning the system.
4-1.5.1 - Loading Gen2Works contains instructions for loading the Gen2Works soware into your PC.
4-1.5.2 - Configuring a Controller explains how to configure the controller using the Gen2Config
program.
NOTE
• The instructions in the next two paragraphs are generalised procedures based on the assumption the operator is
familiar with operation of a PC in a Windows environment.
• Loading the Gen2Works soware requires entry of an Activation Key. The Activation Key is a password provided
by Innotech to permit access to the Gen2Works soware. If an Activation Key has not been provided, contact
Innotech Control Systems at the contact details shown on the last page of this manual. Note that the Activation
Key is only eective for one session. If Setup is to be run at a later date, a new Activation Key is required.
4-1.5.1 Loading Gen2Works
To load Gen2Works into the PC:
1. Insert the Gen2Works CD 1 into the appropriate CD or DVD drive.
2. Windows auto run should start the installation process or open the Windows explorer dialog in
the location of the CD, from here select setup. If however the auto run does not open the CD go
to step 3 otherwise skip it.
3. Click on Run and type “<CD Drive Letter>:\setup” (where the drive letter is which ever letter
corresponds to your PC’s CD drive e.g. “D”) in the Run dialogue box, then click on OK.
4. Gen2Works will display a Product Activation dialogue box with a block requesting entry of the
Activation Key.
5. Enter the Activation Key, then click OK.
6. The Gen2Works soware will begin to load. Follow instructions on the screen to complete the
installation process.

4-1.5.2 Configuring a Controller
The following is the procedure for configuring a controller:
1. Turn o the electrical power to the controller.
2. Connect to the controller via an RS232 cable, RJ45 or over a connected Innotech network.
3. Turn on the computer and allow it to boot-up. Turn on the controller’s operating power.
4. Using standard Windows procedures, open the Gen2Config folder.
5. Click on the Gen2Config icon to open the Gen2Config program. The Gen2Config screen is
displayed.
6. At the upper-le corner of the Gen2Config window, select File and then Open. The Open File
dialog box is displayed showing the configuration files that can be selected. Configuration files
are indicated by the file extension: “.g4c”.
7. Select the configuration file for the controller to be configured then click OK. The window for the
selected configuration is displayed. The window will show the block diagram representing the
controller’s configuration.
8. At the top of the window select Communicate and then Transfer to DDC. The Gen2Config
soware begins to automatically transfer the configuration data to the controller by way of
iComm (Communications server used by Innotech soware to communicate with Innotech
digital controllers)
9. Follow instructions given on the screen.
10. It is safe to exit the Gen2Config program at this point.
11. If the next commissioning step: Initial Tests is to be performed soon, leave the controller and the
PC turned on. Otherwise, remove operating power from the controller and PC if an appreciable
delay is expected before performing initial tests.
NOTE
The following procedures are limited to the steps necessary to configure the controller. For more detailed
information on the operation of the Gen2Con soware refer to the Innotech Genesis II Digital Controller User
Manual.
4-1.6 Initial Tests
Initial tests of the system involve the use of the Gen2Mon soware to perform a thorough check of
the system. The basic approach to performing these tests is to use the soware to apply simulated
inputs to the controller and to check the eect on the output circuits. The following paragraphs
describe the Gen2Mon soware and the checks to be performed as part of initial tests.
4-1.6.1 Gen2Mon Soware
Initial tests of the system are simplified by use of the Gen2Mon monitoring and debugging utility
soware. This soware allows the operator to trace the flow of control and to view the various values
within a configuration residing in a controller. With Gen2Mon, each controller can be monitored one
at a time in real time. Therefore, what appears on the screen is what is actually happening inside the
controller. Gen2Mon must have a constant connection to the controller to be able to operate. This
connection is either through a controller network, the RS232 serial port or the RJ45 ethernet port.
The Gen2Mon allows the operator to monitor any output value from any block in the configuration.
Also, Gen2Mon has a Simulation Mode that allows the operator to control the values of any, or all,
of the controller’s input blocks. In this manner, the action of a sensor or switch can be simulated to
determine how the rest of the configuration reacts to the input.
Detailed procedures for operation of the Gen2Mon Soware is beyond the scope of this technical
manual. Refer to the Innotech Genesis II Digital Controller User Manual.

4-1.6.2 Performing Initial Tests
Because of the Genesis II System’s flexibility, the various configurations can be vastly dierent
from each other. For this reason, it is not practical to provide detailed procedural instructions for
performing initial tests that apply to all configurations. However, this paragraph describes the
general methodology for performing the initial tests.
Initial tests using the Gen2Mon Soware are divided into three separate phases; these tests should
be performed on each controller in turn:
• In the first phase of testing, power is removed from all output circuits and the Gen2Mon soware
is used to monitor the states and input/output values of the various configuration blocks using
variable input stimuli. This phase serves two purposes: It checks the configuration of the
controller and it helps to familiarise the operator with the operation of the system.
• In the second phase of testing, the controller’s primary output circuits, such as motor controllers
and relay circuits are energised but the output machinery (fans, pumps, compressors, etc.) are
de-energised. In this phase, the controller inputs are stimulated just enough to cause the output
circuits to operate or change state. This phase checks the operation of the output control circuits
without operating the plant machinery.
• In the third phase, the primary output control circuits as well as the plant machinery are
energised. In this phase the controller inputs are carefully stimulated just enough to briefly test
the operation of the plant machinery. This phase should involve the minimum of controller input
stimulation required to operate the machinery.
4-1.6.3 First Phase Testing
Perform the first phase of initial tests of the system as follows:
1. Turn o all electrical power to the Genesis II System.
2. Connect the controller to the PC by finding it on a connected network, connecting an RS232
cable between the controller’s RS232 connector and the computer’s serial port or by connecting
an RJ45 cable between the controller's RJ45 connector and the computer's.
3. Turn on the computer and allow it to boot-up. Turn on the controller’s operating power. All
output circuits should be de-energised at this time.
4. Using standard Windows procedures, open the Gen2Mon folder.
5. Click on the Gen2Mon icon to open the Gen2Mon program. The Gen2Mon screen is displayed.
6. In the Simulation Mode, carefully adjust the controller’s input parameters, such as temperature,
pressure, switch position, etc. Adjust the values within normal and practical operating limits
and just enough to verify that a realistic change in output is produced.
7. When all inputs and outputs have been checked, return the input parameters to their original
settings. The first phase is completed.
CAUTION
Operation of the GEN2MON soware in the simulation mode presents a serious risk to the system. In the simulation
mode, the operator is actually forcing values into the controller, therefore, it is possible to overcome any of the
natural safeguards which may be in place to protect the plant. When in simulation mode, exercise great care in
adjusting values. The soware is a powerful facility and should not be used carelessly.

Genesis II Installation Instructions
4-1.6.4 Second Phase Testing
Perform the second phase of initial tests of the system as follows:
1. Turn on operating power to the primary output circuits such as pilot relays, motor controllers
and heat valves.
2. Ensure that operating power to plant machinery (compressors, fans, etc.) is turned o.
3. In the Simulation Mode, observing the CAUTION noted above, carefully adjust the controller’s
input parameters. Adjust the values within normal and practical operating limits and just
enough to verify operation of the primary output circuits.
4. When all outputs have been checked for proper operation, return the input parameters to their
original settings. The second phase is completed.
4-1.6.5 Third Phase Testing
Perform the third phase of initial tests of the system as follows:
1. Turn on operating power to the plant machinery in accordance with the manufacturers’
instruction manuals.
2. In the Simulation Mode, observing the CAUTION noted previously, carefully adjust the
controller’s input parameters. Adjust the values within normal and practical operating limits
and just enough to verify control and operation of the plant machinery.
3. When items of plant machinery have been checked for proper operation, return the input
parameters to their original settings. The third phase is completed.
4. Exit the Gen2Mon program.
5. Turn o operating power to the entire Genesis System and the PC.
6. Disconnect the RS232 cable between the PC and the controller, if RS232 was not used to connect
to the device skip this step.
7. Repeat procedures in Paragraphs 4-1.6.3 through 4-1.6.5 for the other controllers.
4-1.7 Final System Check
Final check of the system involves checking the operation of the system, performing any necessary
adjustments and verifying that the system functions properly under normal operating conditions.
The following are the procedures for performing final system checkout:
1. Apply normal operating power to the entire system in accordance with the applicable
manufacturers instruction manuals.
2. Allow adequate time for the various units to stabilise. Unless specified otherwise in the
applicable instruction manuals, allow approximately one hour for the circuits to stabilise.
3. Carefully check each unit of the system for proper operation. If necessary, the Gen2Mon
soware may be used in the Monitor Mode (NOT in the Simulation Mode) to check proper
operation within the controller.
4. Check manufacturers’ recommended adjustments and settings to ensure all units are set-up for
optimum function.
5. At the controller enter final operational preferences such as schedules, passwords, flash
watches, etc.
6. The system is ready for operation.
