WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
Although the manufacturer has made every effort to ensure the accuracy of the
information contained herein, this document is subject to change without notice due to
ongoing product development.
WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
Equipment, probe failure, blown fuses and/or tripped breakers may prove harmful to the
contents of the building. Therefore it is strongly recommended to install backup devices
and alarm or warning devices. Spare equipment should also be available at the owner’s
site. Equipment manufactured by the manufacturer is protected against normal line
surges. High surges caused by thunderstorms or power supply equipment may damage
this equipment. For added security against line voltage surges it is recommended that
surge and noise suppression devices be installed at the electrical distribution panel. Use
of shielded cable for probes is recommended for protection against lightning. These
devices are available from most electrical supply distributors.
RECOMMENDATIONS
The manufacturer recommends that all installation procedures described herein be
performed by a qualified electrician or installation technician. Furthermore the
manufacturer recommends testing all the functions and equipment connected to the GE-
NUTRI Controller, including the alarm system and backup devices, after installation,
after changes to the installation and every month after that.
Fuse verification and replacement, as well as the proper setting of control values shall
be the responsibility of the owner of this equipment.

GE-NUTRI INSTALLATION
GE-NUTRI Section B-11
This section will inform the electrician on proper wiring and installation
procedures for the GE-NUTRI Controller.
The manufacturer recommends that the following installation instructions be
followed to as closely as possible, and that all work be performed by a certified
electrician. Failure to do so may void the warranty.
Unpacking
Unpack the GE-NUTRI Controller and inspect contents for damage. Should the
contents appear to be damaged, contact your local distributor to return the
equipment.
The package should contain the following standard items:
1 GE-NUTRI control
4 Brackets / 4 screws
1 Installation / User’s Guide
Mounting hardware required
This is the list of the mounting hardware needed, which is not included with the
product:
Shielded two-wire cable, AWG #22 (to extend probes)
Shielded two-wire twisted pair cable, AWG #22 (used for communication)
see electrician note for capacitance selection.
4 screws (to hang the unit onto the wall)
Screwdrivers
Soldering iron kit or approved sealed connectors
Drill and hole saw kit

GE-NUTRI INSTALLATION
Section B-12 GE-NUTRI
General installation guidelines
GE-NUTRI Controller
- It is recommended to install the unit in a hallway to limit the GE-NUTRI
Controller exposure to noxious gases.
- In order to avoid condensation problems inside the controller, it is
recommended to install the GE-NUTRI Controller on an inside wall. If it is not
possible, use spacers to have an air gap between the wall and the GE-NUTRI
Controller.
- It is required to install the GE-NUTRI Controller right side up with the cable
entry holes facing down.
- The enclosure is watertight, but do not spray water or submerge the GE-
NUTRI Controller in water. Cover it carefully with plastic when cleaning the
room.
- The GE-NUTRI Controller should be installed in easy-access location but
away from damaging elements (heat, cold, water, direct sunlight, …).
- Do not drill the face, the side, the top or the underside of the control.
- Do not install the GE-NUTRI Controller near high-voltage equipment, power
supply or transformer.
Electrical cables
- All electrical cables must be installed according to local wiring codes.
- All cable shields must be connected to the shield terminal on the cord to
which the cable is connected, except for the cable connected to the optional
PC interface. The shield is needed to protect the GE-NUTRI Controller and
the modules against any electromagnetic interference generated by lightning
or nearby operating machinery.
- Never use the shield as a conductor.
- Connect only one end of the shield to the GE-NUTRI Controller.
- Use separate conduits for the low voltage cables (communication and probes)
and the high voltage cables. There must be at least 1 foot (30 cm) between
low-voltage and high-voltage conduits.
- If a low voltage cable has to cross over a high voltage cable, make this
crossing at 90°.
- All cable connections must be soldered or done with approved sealed
connectors.
- Probe cables must be 500’ (150m) or less.
- Communication cables must be 820’ (250m) or less.
- It is prohibited to use overhead cables outside the building.
Electrical power
- Protection from electrical surges should be included in the planning of each
installation.
- Every module should have a separate breaker to avoid unwanted
consequences.

GE-NUTRI INSTALLATION
GE-NUTRI Section B-13
- The backup system and alarm must be thoroughly tested and verified as
working properly before using the ventilation system.
Mounting
- The enclosure must be mounted in a location that will allow the cover to be
completely opened.
- Fasten the four brackets to the four mounting holes on the back of the
enclosure using the four screws provided with the brackets.
- Then mount the enclosure on the wall by inserting screws through the
brackets’ adjustment slots, into the wall. Make sure to position the enclosure
so that all wires extend out of the bottom section of the enclosure.
- The bracket slots serve to adjust the position of the controller.
- Once you have adjusted the controller position, tighten the four mounting
screws. (see figure 1).

Typical alarm connection wiring
The GE-NUTRI Controller provides a normally open and normally closed dry
contact to set off an alarm in case low or high temperature condition occurs.
Moreover, this same contact can be used to signal a power failure or other
malfunctions. It may be connected to an alarm system or directly to a siren and/or
auto-dialer.
Make the normally closed (NC) or normally open (NO) connections as indicated
in figures 10 and 11.
