CMX 240 Series Installation Guide 1
Installing the
CMX 240 Controller
The Infinity CMX 240 (with or without a modem) is a unique controller.
You can connect a terminal to it and program it just as you would an
Infinity CX 9000 controller, yet itbelongs on the Infinet. You can connect
32 or 64 controllers to the CMX 240, depending on which particular
model number you have. From the CMX you can program the Infinet
controllers.
This manual covers the following:
• Site/System Setup Requirements
• Installing the CMX 240 series controller
• Connecting to the Infinet
• Connecting to the TankNet
• Connecting to the Modem
• Powering Up the Controller
• Interpreting Status Lights inside Cabinet
Appendix A gives the pinouts for the RS-232 port cables.
Appendix B shows you how to set some probe switches.
Warranty Registration
Your warranty is effectivefor 18 months starting on the date the system
is shipped.

Site/System Setup Requirements
Before you proceed to install thesystem,youshouldmap out where you
plan to installeach controller, terminal/workstation, and modem. When
planning the sites, be aware of any electrical interference that may oc-
cur. You also need to be aware of cabinet dimensions, power
requirements, cable limitations, and environmental requirements.
Warning
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for
a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These
limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial
environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions in this manual, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is
likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be
required to correct the interference at his own expense.
Note
This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class A limits for radio noise
emissions from digital apparatus set out in the Radio Interference
Regulations of the Canadian Department of Communications.
Avis
Le présent appareil numérique n’émet pas de bruits radioélectriques
dépassant les limitesapplicables aux appareils numériques de la class A
prescrites dansle Règlement sur le brouillage radioélectrique édicté par
le ministère des Communications du Canada.

Warning
All wiring and installations must comply with local, state, and national
electrical codes.
Warning about Telephone Service
Refer to the Infinity Modem Installation Guide for safety warnings and
installation instructions.
In the event repairs are ever needed on any Infinity CMX 240 controller,
they should be performed by Andover Controls Corporation or an
authorized representative of Andover Controls Corporation. For
information contact Andover Controls at 300 Brickstone Square,
Andover, Massachusetts 01810.
Cabinet Dimensions
Each Infinity CMX 240 cabinet is approximately 15 ×19 ×4.75 in.
You can order the CMX 240 with or without the cabinet.
Controller Dimensions
Each Infinity CMX 240 controller without a cabinet is approximately
12.54 ×14.25 ×2.75 in.

Power Requirements
Warning
Be sure your installation complies with local, state, and national
electrical codes.
Caution
The CMX 240 series controller should receive power from its own
independent, unswitched circuit.
The CMX 240 requires 24/115/230 VAC +/-20%, 50/60 Hz rated at
30 VA with a modem and 20 VA without a modem.
Modem
You can use the Infinity modem with any CMX 240, but the modem is
not required.
If you order any CMX 240 with the Infinity modem, the modem is
already installed.
If you order any CMX 240 without a modem and then add the Infinity
modem later, refer to the Infinity Modem Installation Guide for instruc-
tions on how to install the modem.
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.

CMX 240 Series Installation Guide 5
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%.
The capacitance of the Infinet cable should be smaller than or equal to
12.5 pF/ft between conductors and smaller than or equal to 22 pF/ft
between the conductor connected to ground and the next conductor.
Number of Infinet Controllers on CMX Infinet
You can have up to 64 Infinet controllers on a single CMX Infinet.
Table 1 shows the various model numbers and the number of Infinet
controllers you can have on each.
The differences between the CMX 240/241 and the CMX 245/246 are
differences in what you can program them to do. TheCMX 245and 246
allow you to choose Command mode on a terminal connected to
COMM2. For details, see the Infinity Controller Programmer’s Guide.
1. You can also use any cables you may already have in place for ACNET or LBUS.

TankNet and Probe Power Supply Cables
Refer to the probe documentation for information on TankNet and
probe power supply cables. If you do not have this documentation
contact MTS Systems Corporation at the following address:

Lightning Protection
Warning
When running cables (Infinet) 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.

CMX 240 Series Installation Guide 7
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.
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.

8 CMX 240 Series Installation Guide
Environmental Requirements
The CMX 240 controllers operate in rooms with temperatures ranging
from 40 to 120°F and with humidity between 10and 95%, noncondensing.
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 240 series controller on an Infinet. You connect
a terminal to the CMX.
You cannot connect an LBUS to a CMX 240 series controller. You can-
not have an Infinity CX 9000 controller on the same Infinet with any
CMX 240.
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.
