2 Product Mounting
The Aspect MATRIX Series Area Controller ships with an approved enclosure consistent with most electrical
standards and regulations. It is intended for indoor applications only and should be installed in a location that
is dry, away from direct sunlight and free from excessive dust, vibration, and electrical interference. Mount the
product in a location that allows clearance for ease of wiring and service. Use the two keyhole- style screw
holes located on the back of the enclosure for assistance with mounting. The product is capable of being
mounted on a DIN rail by installing the provided mounting bracket.
ENCLOSURE COVER
The enclosure cover of the product is designed to be removed for servicing the device. The cover is removed
by unscrewing the single screw in the cover then lifting the cover away from the base as shown. Care should
be taken when removing the cover on a mounted unit to prevent it from being dropped and damaging the
cover.

3 Hardware Layout
Below is an illustration of the hardware layout of the product. The device includes connection ports for Main
Power, EIA-485 network connectivity and Ethernet connectivity. Depending on the model of MATRIX Series
Area Controller you have purchased, your application may involve using one of the or both EIA-485 network
ports.

POWER REQUIREMENTS
This product requires a transformer capable of providing 24VAC power to the product. Use of a UL listed 24VAC
transformer is recommended.
To connect power, use the supplied two-position terminal plug. The output leads from the transformer should
be connected to the terminal plug. The terminal plug is then connected into the socket marked J1 on the PCB.
American Auto-Matrix recommends using 18AWG cable for power wiring.
Figure 1-5 Connecting Power to MATRIX Series Area Controller
WARNING: Do not share the power source for Aspect MATRIX Series MAX Area Controller with other
devices. Damage to the product as a result of improper power and wiring will void product
warranty.
LED INDICATION
The PCB of the product includes diagnostic LEDs, providing user feedback when power has been connected to
the device. When power is connected, all three of the LEDs should be illuminated. The power diagnostic LEDs
are located near port 1’s terminal block switches.

4 Communication Connections
Communication connections should be made with care. To avoid conflicts with existing networks, it is
recommended all communication configuration of the product be performed prior to connecting physical
media from the building automation system. Refer to Aspect Studio On-Line Help System for additional
information.
Caution: It is recommended that all software configuration be performed prior to physically connecting this to any
associated communication product networks.
ETHERNET NETWORK
Ethernet is a high-speed network layer widely used in commercial buildings. This product includes an on- board
Ethernet adapter, allowing users communicate with the device for product setup, as well as for building
automation routines and applications. The Ethernet network interface is located on the single board computer
card.
The on-board Ethernet network interface supports 10Base-T (10Mbps) and 100Base-T (100Mbps) Ethernet
connections. The product will automatically switch to 100Base-T operations if other devices and cabling
connected to the same subnetwork support this
CABLE TYPE AND LENGTH
Use an approved Category 5 (CAT5) Ethernet patch cable with RJ-45 plugs to connect the product to an
Ethernet switch or hub. Use professionally manufactured cables to assure reliable transmission rates and
connectivity between devices. Category 5 wiring is typically limited to about 100 meters (320 feet).

EIA-485 NETWORK
The EIA-485 network ports are used to accommodate serial network protocols that utilize two-wire, shielded-
twisted pair cabling - such as BACnet MS/TP, American Auto-Matrix PUP, and Modbus RTU. Terminals for EIA-
485 network connections are located on the left side of the controller board and are labeled J2 and J3. Each
terminal has a connection for Network Positive (N+), Network Negative (N-), and Signal Ground Reference Wire
(SG, commonly used for serial networks that utilize a reference wire for electrical stability).
The Matrix Area Controller should be installed at an electrical end of the EIA-485 network. Avoid network
topologies where the network is “t-tapped” or “starred”.
CONNECTING EIA-485 NETWORKS
Connect the serial network to the determined EIA-485 port. Be sure to maintain network polarity at all times.
Failure to do so can result in loss of network communications. For protection against ground loops or noise,
connect the drain wire of the 485 network wire to a reliable earth ground.

NETWORK TERMINATION AND BIASING
Adjacent to each EIA-485 port is a two-position switch block, which applies termination and biasing to your
485 network. To enable either termination (TERM) or biasing (BIAS), configure the respective switch towards
the ON (Up) position.
When applying termination, be certain that it is applied at both ends of your EIA-485 network at the two end
devices. In termination applications, biasing should also be enabled to ensure proper idle state voltage.

LED INDICATION
Located below the network termination and biasing switches is a set of diagnostic LEDs that can be useful for
troubleshooting network communication problems.

Table 1-1: EIA-485 LED Diagnostics
LED Position
Notes
TXD
This LED will flash anytime data is transmitted by the
Matrix Area Controller to the field bus network. On an
active network, this light should flash anytime the
device passes a network token to another device or
routes a request made by another device.
RXD
This LED will flash anytime data is received by the
Matrix Area Controller from the field bus network. On
an active network, this light should flash anytime
there is activity on the network.
PERR
This LED will flash upon the event a parity error occurs
on the network. A parity error is caused by a mismatch
between the calculated checksum and value received
with the packet. The most common reason for a
packet error is if more than one unit is attempting to
communicate on the network at once, indicating the
presence of a duplicate token or duplicate address.
BERR
This LED will flash upon the event a byte error occurs
on the field bus network. A byte error is caused when
information is lost during network communications,
and is detected in the start, stop, or data bit timings.
The most common reason for a byte error is due to
devices attempting to communicate on the network
at different baud rates.
Note : This product utilizes native EIA-485 communication drivers. Therefore, all network communications to field-
devices should occur over specified network media as outlined in American Auto-Matrix product
documentation. The use of media converters (such as Serial-to-Ethernet modems) not certified or sold by
AAM is discouraged.
