Summary
These instructions explain how to install your Control Station. Once installed, the unit must be configured.
Configuration is a detailed process described in other documents.
The overall steps for getting your Control Station up and running are as follows.
Step Action
1 Install the unit per this instruction sheet.
Refer to other documentation for details on the following steps.
2 After completing installation, configure the HC900 controller for your application using Hybrid
Control Designer software and save the .cde file.
3 Using Station Designer software, create data tags from your .cde file, create your operator
interface configuration and save the .sds file.
4 Download the .sds file to the 900 Control Station and verify operation.
Note: Configuration of the 900 Control Station may be performed prior to mounting if found to be more
convenient when using the USB port since once loaded the configuration is maintained in non-volatile
memory, but doing so requires the station to be connected to a 24Vdc power supply.

2. Mount the Control Station
Model 900CS10-00
Step Action
ATTENTION
If the 900 Control Station is replacing an existing product, contact your local Honeywell
representative for instructions.
1 Using the drawing below, cut panel hole. You can use the cardboard template as a rough guide but
be sure to measure against the drawing below before cutting. Drill holes using a 3/16 inch (4.76mm)
size drill bit. Remove any loose material from the mounting cut-out to prevent that material from
falling into the Control Station during installation.
2 Mount the gasket by placing its 14 holes over the Control Station’s 14 mounting bolts. Push gasket all
the way on to the mounting bolts. Insert Control Station into panel cutout.
3 Install the 14 kep nuts provided with the Control Station. Tighten evenly for uniform gasket
compression. Do not tighten the kep nuts beyond a maximum of 17 inch-pounds (1.92 N-m) or you
may cause damage to the Control Station’s front panel.

Step Action
1 Using the drawing below, cut panel hole. You can use the cardboard template as a rough guide but
be sure to measure against the drawing below before cutting. Drill holes using a 3/16 inch (4.76mm)
size drill bit. Remove any loose material from the mounting cut-out to prevent that material from
falling into the Control Station during installation.
2 Mount the gasket by placing its 22 holes over the Control Station’s 22 mounting bolts. Push gasket all
the way on to the mounting bolts. Insert Control Station into panel cutout.
3 Install the 22 kep nuts provided with the Control Station. Tighten evenly for uniform gasket
compression. Do not tighten the kep nuts beyond a maximum of 17 inch-pounds (1.92 N-m) or you
may cause damage to the Control Station’s front panel.

Generalwiringconsiderations
Use only Class I, Division 2 wiring methods as specified in the National Electrical Code NFPA70
and the Canadian Electrical Code C22.1.
The Control Station cables contain low voltages. Keep cables away from high voltage wires that can
cause interference.
CE testing was performed with shielded, twisted pair cables. For noise reduction tips, see
Honeywell document 51-52-05-01, How to Apply Digital Instrumentation in Severe Electrical
Noise Environments.
ATTENTION
The emission limits of EN 55011 (CISPR11) are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference when this equipment is operated in an industrial environment.
Operation of this equipment in a residential area may cause harmful interference. This
equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and may cause
interference to radio and television reception when the equipment is used closer than 30
meters to the antenna (e). In special cases, when highly susceptible apparatus is used in close
proximity, the user may have to employ additional mitigating measures to further reduce the
electromagnetic emissions of this equipment.
3. Connect to earth ground
The back of the unit has a chassis ground terminal identified with the symbol . Connect this terminal to
earth ground (protective earth).
The chassis ground is not connected to signal common of the unit electronics. Maintaining isolation between
earth ground and signal common is not required to operate the unit, but when connecting the HC900
controller to the unit using the recommended shielded CAT5 Ethernet cable, a path to earth ground is created
via the Ethernet shield of the controller. Other equipment connected to the unit may require isolation
between signal common and earth ground. To maintain isolation, care must be taken when connections are
made to the unit. For example, a power supply with isolation between its signal common and earth ground
must be used.
Connecting a device via a USB cable may also connect signal common and earth ground. The shield of the
USB’s connector at the host may be connected to earth ground. A USB’s shield may also be connected to
signal common.
4. Mount and connect power supply
The Control Station requires a 24 VDC power supply rated at 29 W or more. Your unit may draw
considerably less than rated power depending upon the options being used. As additional features are used
your unit will draw increasing amounts of power. Items that could cause increases in current are additional
communications, Flash Memory Module, and other features programmed using Station Designer software.
It is important that the power supply is mounted and wired correctly if the unit is to operate reliably. Please
take care to observe the following points.
A 10” model requires a minimum of 29 Watts of power supply and a 15” model requires a minimum of 46
Watts of power supply.
The power supply should be mounted close to the unit. Recommended not more than 6 feet (1.8 m) of cable
between the supply and the Control Station. Ideally, the shortest length possible should be used.
A power supply with isolation between its signal common and earth ground must be used.
The wire used to connect the power supply to the Control Station should be at least 22-gage wire. If a
longer cable run is used, a heavier gage wire should be used.
The routing of the cable should be kept away from large contactors, inverters, and other devices which may
generate significant electrical noise.

51-52-33-157 Rev. 6 Page 7 of 14
A power supply with a Class 2 or SELV rating should be used. A Class 2 or SELV power supply provides
isolation to accessible circuits from hazardous voltage levels generated by a mains power supply due to
single faults. SELV is an acronym for “safety extra-low voltage.” Safety extra-low voltage circuits shall
exhibit voltages safe to touch both under normal operating conditions and after a single fault, such as a
breakdown of a layer of basic insulation or after the failure of a single component has occurred.
If the power supply will be mounted in a hazardous location, it must be rated for Class I, Div. 2 by an
OSHA recognized NRTL, such as UL or FM.
Using the terminal block provided, connect the power supply’s +24Vdc lead to terminal 2 and the Common
lead to terminal 1. See figure below. Plug the terminal block into the connector located on the bottom
of the interface.

51-52-33-157 Rev. 6 Page 11 of 14
Use shielded CAT5 cable (Honeywell part no. 514514032). Cable length must be less than 100 meters. For
longer distances use Ethernet switches between cables. The use of Ethernet cables in excess of 100 meters
may cause transmission delays that could have adverse affects on performance.
RS485
For RS485 between Control Station and HC900, construct a cable as follows.
1. Cut off one connector of the shielded CAT5 cable.
2. Connect the wires indicated to the 3-plug connector that was supplied with the HC900 CPU module.
See table below.

3. Cut off any unused wires in the cable and insulate with heat shrink tubing or other appropriate
insulating material.
This connector plugs into the HC900’s RS485 port; the RJ45 connector plugs into the Control Station’s
RS485 port.
