Warning
All wiring and installations must comply with local, state, and national
electrical codes.
Warning about Telephone Service
Type of Service: The Infinity CMX controller is designed to be used on
standard device telephone lines. It connects to the telephone line by
means of a standard jack called the USOC RJ 11C (or USOC FJ45S).
Connection to the telephone company provided coin service (central of-
fice implemented systems) is prohibited. Connection to party lines
service is subject to state tariffs.
TelephoneCompany Procedures: The goal of the telephone company
is to provide you with the best service it can. In order to do this, it may
occasionally be necessary for them to make changes in their equipment,
operations, or procedures. If these changes might affect your service or
the operation of your equipment, the telephone company will give you
notice, in writing, to allow you to make any changes necessary to main-
tain uninterrupted service.
If you have any questions about your telephone line, such as how many
pieces of equipment you can connect to it, the telephone company will
provide this information upon request.
In certain circumstances, it may be necessary for the telephone compa-
ny to request information from you concerning the equipment which
you have connected to your telephone line.
Upon request of the telephone company, provide the FCC registration
number and the ringer equivalence number (REN) of the equipment
which is connected to your line; both of these items are listed on the
equipment label. The sum of all of the RENs on your telephone lines
should be less than five in order to assure proper service from the
telephone company. In some cases, a sum of five may not be usable on
a given line.

Warning about Telephone Service
If Problems Arise: If any of your telephone equipment is not operating
properly, you should immediately remove it from your telephone line,
as it may cause harm to the telephone network. If the telephone compa-
ny notes a problem, they may temporarily discontinue service. When
practical, they will notify you in advance of this disconnection. If ad-
vance notice is not feasible, you will be notified as soon as possible.
When you are notified, you will be given the opportunity to correct the
problem and informed of your right to file a complaint with the FCC.
In the event repairs are ever needed on the Infinity CMX controller, they
should be performed by Andover ControlsCorporationoranauthorized

Built-in Modem
The built-in modem, an optional feature of the CMX, has a 2400 baud
rate.
Audio Speaker Connector
The speaker you may connect can have as much amplification as you
want, but you must provide the power for it.
Infinet Cables
The maximum cable length for Infinet is 4,000 ft at 19,200 baud (up to
32 Infinet controllers). You can extend Infinet beyond 4,000 ft or put
more than 32 Infinet controllers on less than 4,000 ft by using the In-
fiLink 200 amplification module.
Cables that form Infinet are 24-gauge, single-twisted-pair, tinned,
shielded copper wire. Use the following cables1or their equivalents:
Note
You must use shielded cables for Infinet to ensure compliance with the
Class A FCC limits and to communicate reliably.
• Brand Rex # H 9002 (single-pair)
• Anixter # 9J2401021 (single-pair plenum cable)
The cable should have a nominal impedance of 100 Ωand a nominal
velocity of propagation of 78%.
Capacitance of Infinet cable should be nominal, below 12.5 pF/ft
between conductors and below 22 pF/ft between the conductor
connected to ground and the next conductor.

you can have on each.The differences between the CMX 220 and the
CMX 230 are differences in what you can program them to do. For de-
tails, see the Andover Controls Infinity CX Programmer’s Guide.
Lightning Protection
Warning
When running cables (Infinet or input/output wire) between
buildings you must install lightning arresters for Infinet to prevent
electromagnetic disturbances.
Use lightning arresters at each point where Infinet cable enters or exits
a building. Use the following arrester:
Two pair gas tube arrester, Andover Controls # 01-2100-299.

Building Ground Requirements
Warning
Be sure that all Infinity products from Andover Controls Corporation
are grounded to true earth ground. This kind of ground protects the
equipment from voltage transients and other power surges in the area.
We cannot guarantee that the controller system will operate as
documented unless you properly ground all controllers.
Warning
Be sure to have your grounds inspected before you begin the
installation process to be sure your municipality follows the National
Electrical Code. Many municipalities do not and often have
substandard electrical grounds.
An example of a substandard ground is a galvanized steel cold water
pipe. As the pipe corrodes, it does not act as a true ground. The corro-
sion acts as an insulator, raising the potential of the pipe with respect to
the ground.
When lightning strikes in the area of the installation, it drastically
changes the potential of the earth.
Since properly grounded Andover Controls units respond to changes in
potential more rapidly than poorly grounded electrical systems, a poor-
ly grounded building tries to reach ground through the Andover
Controls system. The surge of current can destroy electronic compo-
nents on the controller board. Surges of much lower potential than
lightning also impact the reliability of Andover Controls equipment.

8 Infinity CMX Installation Guide
Inspecting the Ground
You can check your ground as follows:
1. Check your ground by first inspecting the building power
distribution panel for earth ground termination. If the ground
termination is any of the following, it is not adequate and must be
corrected:
• Does not exist.
• Is connected to a corroded or galvanized pipe.
• Is connected using a small gauge wire (less than 14 AWG).
2. Be sure your Andover Controls cabinet is connected to the ground
with a copper conductor that terminates at the distribution panel.
Environmental Requirements
The CMX controllers operate in rooms with temperatures ranging from
40 to 120°F and with humidity between 10 and 95%, noncondensing.
The controller must be in an Underwriter Laboratories approved
enclosure.
Laying Out the Site Setup
You may want to draw a map of where you plan to put each controller
and store it in a notebook. If you have not already done so, read the
EnergyNet and Infinet Configuration Guide for information on how to
design a configuration.
You put only one CMX controller on an Infinet. You connect a terminal
to the CMX.1If your unit has a modem jack, you can instead connect a
telephone line from it to a distant terminal (on a modem).
If your unit has a modem jack, you can have not only adirect-connected
terminal on the RS-232 port, but also a telephone line to a distant termi-
nal (on a modem). However, you can operate only one of the terminals
1. In some situations, you may want to put a printer on CMX instead of a terminal.

Infinity CMX Installation Guide 9
at any given time. The distant terminal automatically logs out the near-
by terminal; so when planning your site, remember you can use only
one terminal or the other at a given time and schedule time accordingly.
You cannot connect an LBUS to a CMX controller. You cannot have
an Infinity CX controller on the same Infinet with a CMX controller.
Find the tag attached to each controller that gives the numberof the con-
troller. Before you remove any tags, be sure the tag has all of the
following information on it:
• Location of the controller.
• Serial number.
• Model name and number.
Then collect the tags. You’ll need to know where your controllers are
located when you later assign a name to each controller and each input
and output.

Connecting the AC Power Cable
to the Power Supply
Warning
Be sure the controller is not receiving AC power while you are wiring
it, or you could receive an electrical shock that is life-threatening.
1. Open the cabinet door. Look to the upper left corner. You should see
three screws labeled GND, RET, and 24V. You must wire the AC
power to the three screws.
Caution
Be sure to connect all three wires, GND, RET, and 24V. Otherwise, the
controller could malfunction.
2. Notice that the three wires at the end of your AC cable are black,
white, and green.
3. Place the green wire under the metal plate behind the top screw,
labeled GND.
4. Tighten the screw with a flathead screw driver.
Figure 2shows the position of the plate, where to place the wire,and
how the screw fits on the plate. You can see how the screw holds the
plate in place once you tighten it.
