Protection
Built-in surge and transient protection for power and communications in
compliance with EN61000-6-1.
Incoming power and network connections are protected by non-replaceable
internal solid-state polyswitches that reset themselves when the condition that
causes a fault returns to normal.
The power, network, input, and output connections are also protected against
transient excess voltage/surge events lasting no more than 10 msec.
CAUTION To protect against large electrical surges on serial EIA-485
networks, place a PROT485 at each place wire enters or exits the building.
Status indicators
LEDs indicate status of communications, running, errors, and power.

Mounting the AppController
WARNING
When you handle the AppController:
•Do not contaminate the printed circuit board with fingerprints, moisture, or any foreign material.
•Do not touch components or leads.
•Handle the board by its edges.
•Isolate from high voltage or electrostatic discharge.
•Ensure that you are properly grounded.
Screw the AppController into an enclosed panel using the mounting slots on the coverplate. Leave about 2 in. (5
cm) on each side of the controller for wiring. Mounting hole dimensions 5 9/16" (14.1 cm) between mounting slot
center lines.

Wiring the AppController for power
WARNING Do not apply line voltage (mains voltage) to the controller's ports and terminals.
CAUTIONS
The AppController is powered by a Class 2 power source. Take appropriate isolation measures when
mounting it in a control panel where non-Class 2 circuits are present.
Carrier controllers can share a power supply as long as you:
Maintain the same polarity.
Use the power supply only for Carrier controllers.
To wire for power
1 Remove power from the power supply.
2 Pull the screw terminal connector from the controller's power terminals labeled Gnd and Hot.
3 Connect the transformer wires to the screw terminal connector.
NOTE If using a grounded transformer, connect the ungrounded lead to the Hot terminal to avoid damaging
the transformer.
4 Apply power to the power supply.
5 Measure the voltage at the AppController’s power input terminals to verify that the voltage is within the
operating range of 21.6–26.4 Vac.
6 Insert the screw terminal connector into the AppController's power terminals.
7 Verify that the Power LED is on and the Run LED is blinking.
Addressing the AppController
You must give the AppController an address that is unique on the network. You can address the AppController
before or after you wire it for power.
1 If the AppController has been wired for power, pull the screw terminal connector from the controller power
terminals labeled Gnd and Hot. The controller reads the address each time you apply power to it.

The input impedance of the AppController is approximately 30 kOhm.
All
Pulse counter
Pulse counting up to 10 pulses per second.

Binary outputs
The AppController has 5 binary outputs. You can connect each output to a maximum of 24 Vac/26 Vdc. Each
output is a dry contact rated at 1 A, 24 V maximum and is normally open.
To size output wiring, consider the following:
Total loop distance from the power supply to the controller, and then to the controlled device
NOTE Include the total distance of actual wire. For 2-conductor wires, this is twice the cable length.
Acceptable voltage drop in the wire from the controller to the controlled device
Resistance (Ohms) of the chosen wire gauge
Maximum current (Amps) the controlled device requires to operate
Analog outputs
The AppController has 3 analog outputs that support voltage. The controlled device must share the same ground
as the controller and have the following input impedance:
0–10 Vdc
Minimum impedance 2000 Ohms, max 5 mA
NOTE Ohm's law: -10V/.005a = 2000 Ohms

To wire ZS sensors to the controller
ZS Sensors are thermistor-based temperature sensors that may optionally sense humidity, CO2, or VOC. ZS
Sensors are wired to the Rnet port on i-Vu® Open controllers. You can use the following ZS sensors:
ZS Standard
ZS Plus
ZS Pro
ZS Pro-F
NOTES
The ZS CO2 model uses 190 mA during sample period. Use auxiliary 12 Vdc, unless it is the only device on
the Rnet port.
A control program can use no more than 5 ZS Sensors
SPT sensors cannot share the Rnet with other devices.
For detailed instructions, see the ZS Sensor Installation Guide.
1 Remove power from the AppController.
2 Partially cut, then bend and pull off the outer jacket of the Rnet cable(s). Do not nick the inner insulation.
Strip about .25 inch (.6 cm) of the inner insulation from each wire.

To wire the Wireless Adapter for wireless sensors
WARNING Do not apply line voltage (mains voltage) to the Wireless Adapter.
The Carrier wireless sensors are available in 868, 902, and 928 MHz radio frequency. The sensors are thermistor-
based temperature sensors that may optionally sense humidity.
Wireless sensors communicate through a Wireless Adapter, which is wired to the Rnet port of the controller.
REQUIREMENTS
A v6.5 or later i-Vu® system
v6-xx-xxx or later controller drivers
To configure the control program for the desired user interaction with the sensor, see the Wireless Sensors
Application Guide. For detailed instructions, see the Wireless Sensors Installation Guide.
To wire, power, and mount the Wireless Adapter
NOTES
The Wireless Adapter requires a 24 Vac power supply. It is not powered by the Rnet.
If the Wireless Adapter will be:
○Daisy-chained on the Rnet with ZS sensors, an Equipment Touch, or TruVu™ ET Displayuse the standard
4-conductor Rnet wiring.
○The only device on the Rnet, you can use a 3-conductor cable instead of the standard 4-conductor Rnet
cable.
1 Turn off the power to the controller that the Wireless Adapter will be wired to.
2 Partially cut, then bend and pull off the outer jacket of the Rnet cable(s). Do not nick the inner insulation.
