ips 4000 controller - Integrated pumping
system for variable primary applications
4
Armstrong Integrated pumping system controllers, ips control-
lers 4000, are completely factory-assembled, tested, and
shipped to the job site as integral units ready to receive incom-
ing power supply. These instructions describe the procedures
to be followed during installation, commissioning and operation
to ensure optimum performance and reliability. When contact-
ing the factory for assistance, please provide the unit serial
number and other pertinent data, such as ips model no.
1.0 ips controllers 4000
1.1 installation instructions
Incoming supply – stand-alone ips controllers (no rack): The
incoming power supply should be brought in through the bot-
tom of the panel adjacent to the main terminals. Note that this
is the only electrical connection required at the panel.
The power supply voltage is 100-240 vac / 50-60 Hz as stan-
dard. Please refer to the wiring diagram supplied with the unit
for instructions on connecting power to the ips controller.
Incoming supply – ips system on rack: The incoming power
supply to the ips controller is achieved through a transformer
in the main enclosure of the whole ips system rack. No power
connection is required.
note: All electrical wiring should be performed by a qualified
electrician in accordance with the latest edition of the National
Electrical Code, local codes and regulations.
1.2 enviromental limits
Operation temperature range: 0°c to 50°c (32°f to 122°f)
(must not be exposed to direct sunlight)
Operation humidity range: (10% - 85%) non-condensing
Ambient air temperature for storage: -20°c to 70°c
(-4°f to 158°f)
1.3 field devices installation
instructions
Prior to using the display to configure the ips controller, make
sure all the field installed devices such as dp sensors, flow
sensors, dp switches are properly installed and wired to the ips
controller as per wiring diagrams provided.
1.4 building automation system
(bas) connection
When the ips controller is provided with a serial port to com-
municate serially to the bas, the possible communication
protocols are Modbus, LonWorks or BACnet. Refer to wiring
diagrams supplied with the unit for wiring instructions. ips
controller can also communicate to the bas through a hard
wired option. Please refer to the ips controller generic terminal
block diagram for the dierent parameters and data points
communicated to the bas. For more information please contact
your local Armstrong representative or Armstrong factory
service department.

2.0 ips 4000 function displays
The ips 4001 / 4002 / 4003 controllers displays are divided
in two set of displays: Operation and Setup. The Operation dis-
plays are used by the operators to monitor and control the ips.
The Setup screens are used to set, view, save, and restore the
system specific settings (i.e. number of pumps, chillers/boilers,
sensor range, etc.).

setup displays:
The setup displays are divided in three levels each with dier-
ent level of access. Level 0setup displays are for viewing only
and no adjustments can be made. Level 1setup displays can be
used for changing the system setup and restoring the system
factory defaults. Level 2setup displays can be used for chang-
ing the system setup, and saving and restoring the system
factory defaults. To access Level 1 and 2an operator need to
enter the proper password (please contact Armstrong factory
service department).
The list of setup/default displays for every level is as follow:
