APPLICATIONS
The Phoenix Controls PCM is a programmable input/output module that may be used as:
• A standalone controller
Physical sensors and switches may be connected to the PCM, which then performs the desired control by using built-in
functions (see section below) to switch or modulate PCM outputs.
• An input/output (I/O) expansion module
Physical sensors, switches and actuators may be connected to the PCM and values passed across the room-level network to a
Celeris valve controller for use in its control sequence. Data from the PCM may also be passed across the building-level network
to the BMS for monitoring purposes.
• A controller integrated into the Celeris, Theris or Traccel system
Data may be passed between the valve mounted controllers and PCM on the room-level network to supplement the control
functions of either device. An example might be interlocking door locks between an anteroom and a space under control so that
doors may not be opened until the pressure stabilizes or a certain number of air changes have occurred.
The PCM may also be used to implement virtually any room-level control sequence that relies on inputs from physical sensors,

switches or network based variables to develop the desired control output, function or interlock. Typical control applications include:
• Lighting
• Temperature (spaces adjacent to controlled spaces)
•Access
Built-in Functions

• Extensive block library of the most commonly used functions divided
into 12 convenient categories containing over 80 block objects

INSTALLATION
1.Choose a location where the operating conditions may be maintained within the specified environmental limits:
• The device is not subject to shock and vibration.
• Cable lengths are kept to a minimum.
• The device is protected from dripping or spraying liquids, airborne dust and metallic particles.
2.When mounting the device:
• Mount vertically with the ventilation slots on top.
• Mount on a smooth, flat surface using 35mm DIN rail (all but the PCM200) mounting screws.
• Allow two-inch clearance on all sides for proper ventilation, routing of cables.
In some cases, it may be necessary to remove the PCM cover to access the mounting screw slots.
See Figure 1 through Figure 3 for mounting dimensions.
Inputs: Minimum cable s e ction 20 AWG (twisted pair)
Digital outputs: Minimum cable section 18 AWG

WIRING
All wiring connections are via terminal blocks on the base plate that accommodate wire sizes from 22 to 12 AWG (0.14 to 2.5 mm).
Multiple conductors may be placed under one terminal, providing the cumulative diameter does not exceed 0.1" (2.5 mm).
See Figure 6 for terminal location and typical connections.

Wiring Recommendations
• All circuits must
conform to the
requirements of an
NEC Class 2 (dry)
circuit.
• Use multiple
transformers instead of larger transformers when more than 100 VA is required.
• Each pressurization zone should have either a dedicated single-phase primary circuit, or a
secondary circuit disconnect
• Use cable sizes recommended by Phoenix Controls (see Table 1).
• Use stranded wire for ease of installation.
• Follow good wiring practices:
• Locate cables away from sources of electrical interference (EMI/RFI).
• Do not run signal or communication cable in the same conduit or wire way as power
cables.
• If signal cable must cross power cables place these at a 90-degree angle.
• Shield or drain wires, if required, should be wrapped with insulating tape to prevent contact with exposed conductors or
• Maintain a consistent color code or polarity all the way through the wiring system.
• Power supply and signal isolation on I/O devices vary from manufacturer to manufacturer. Verify the wiring device
manufacturer’s recommendations for isolating power and signal common connections and maintain polarity.
• Local and national electrical codes take precedence.
• Strip 0.25" (6.4 mm) of insulation from each conductor, twist the strands, insert the conductor fully into the terminal block, and
tighten the terminal.
• Test the wire connection by pulling on each conductor.
• See “Phoenix Recommended Cables” on page 9 for approved cable manufacturers and wire types.
Power Connections
• The PCM may be powered by either 24 Vac or 24 Vdc. When locating the device, consider the location of the transformers/
power supplies, cable runs, and connected load to ensure proper operating voltage.
NOTE:PCM200 is 24 Vac only.
• Power connections are on the top left side of the control module (see Figure 6 for wiring configuration).
• An external fuse is recommended to protect the outputs and other equipment powered by the transformer.
• To calculate the required transformer power:
• Add the power requirements of all of the controllers and peripheral devices.
• Add the largest starting power of the group.
• Multiply this value by 1.3.
• This value is the required transformer power.
Note: Failure to maintain proper polarity may cause damage to the control module.
Input and Output Connections
• The PCM supports a wide variety of universal inputs and analog and digital outputs.
• Signal input types are either jumper or software selectable; then defined and scaled using the PCM plug-in.
• Two terminations are provided for each input (+ and -). If a shield is used, it should be connected to the signal common (-)
terminal.
• Power for inputs must be externally supplied. The PCM will not provide a power source for 4-20 mA input devices.
• Input connections are on the left side of the control module.
• Output connections are on the right side of the control module.
See Figure 6 for wiring configuration.
Note: Multiple power sources may be present. Insure that all power is removed before handling bare conductors.
• Connect the PCM to the room-level (FTT-10) control network. Maintain a bus wiring topology.
• Network connections are on the lower left side of the control module.
• The recommended wire type for communications is Level IV, 22 AWG, unshielded cable, with six twists per foot.
• For more detailed information, please refer to the “Phoenix Recommended Cables” on page 9 or the Junction Box and Wiring Guidelines technical bulletin published by the Echelon Corporation.
