Equipment, blown fuses and/or tripped breakers may prove harmful to the contents of the
building. Therefore it is strongly recommended to install backup 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 thunder storms 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. 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. Further more the manufacturer recommends to test
all the functions, including the 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-R4 INSTALLATION
GE-R4
Section B-5
This section will inform the electrician on proper wiring and installation procedures for
the GE-R4.
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.
Description
The GE-R4 is designed to drive four stages of up to 25A under the control of a master
control system resulting in a clean air environment for your livestock.
It provides you with automated control over its four stages via the use of the master
control or alternatively by manual switch.
It will also keep you constantly informed of its four stages via LED indications. As the
LED will be lighted when the output is activated.
Unpacking
Unpack the GE-R4 and inspect contents for damage. Should the contents appear to be
damaged, contact your local distributor to return the material.
The package should contain the following standard items:
1 GE-R4 module
4 Bracket / 4 screws
1 Spare fuse
1 Installation / User’s Guide
Mounting Hardware Required
This is the list of the mounting hardware needed, which is not included with the product:
4 screws (to hang the unit onto the wall)
Screwdrivers
Soldering iron kit or approved sealed connectors

GE-R4 INSTALLATION
GE-R4
Section B-6
General installation guidelines
GE-R4 Module
- It is recommended to install the module unit in a hallway to limit the GE-R4 exposure
to noxious gases.
- In order to avoid condensation problems inside the module, it is recommended to
install the GE-R4 on an inside wall. If it is not possible, use spacers to have an air gap
between the wall and the GE-R4.
- It is required to install the GE-R4 right side up with the cable entry holes facing
down.
- The enclosure is watertight, but do not spray water or submerge the GE-R4 in water.
Cover it carefully with plastic when cleaning the room.
- The GE-R4 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-R4 module near high-voltage equipment, power supply or
transformer.
Electrical Cables
- All electrical cables must be installed according to local wiring codes.
- Use separate conduits for the low voltage cables (communication) and the high
voltage cables. There must be at least 30 cm (1 foot) 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°.
- 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 possible problem.

GE-R4 INSTALLATION
GE-R4 Section B-7
Mounting
- The enclosure must be mounted in a location that will allow the cover to be
completely opened right up against the wall.
- 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
extends out of the bottom section of the enclosure.
- The bracket slots also serve to adjust the position of the controller.
- Once you have adjusted the controller position, tighten the four mounting screws. (see
figure 1).

GE-R4 Section B-9
Powering Up Procedure
Verify all Connections
Once the GE-R4 is properly mounted on the wall and all modules to the terminal block,
perform the following steps:
- Ensure the flat cable between the bottom electronic board and the faceplate electronic
board is properly connected.
- Seal all cable entry holes.
Hermetically Close the GE-R4
Close the front panel and the lower access cover.
Put the power on
Secure the front panel with a lock
Using the toggle switches
The toggle switches permit the stage to be set in one of three modes as follows:
OFF To turn the stages permanently off, set the toggle switches to the OFF
position.
ON To turn the stages continually on, set the toggles switches to the ON position.
AUTO To allow the stages to operate under the master control, set the toggles
switches to the AUTO position.
Output LED
The output LED indicates if power is present at the stage output either in auto or manual
mode.
Changing fuse
The fuse protects the relay coil from any surge or over voltage. Remove stage input
power and coil signal power before changing a fuse.
Troubleshooting
Set the toggle switches on the GE-R4 to ON.
Are the outputs operating?
If not, verify the power connections to the GE-R4, fuses and connections to the outputs
(i.e. Fans).
