Communications
Wiring Communications wiring includes wiring between the sLON-5 or sLON-6 controller and one
sLON-WTSx Sensor, as well as wiring between the sLON-5 or sLON-6 controller and a
LONWORKS Network (LON).
S-Link and LON Wiring Precautions
Caution:
•Communication wire pairs must be dedicated to S-Link and LON communications. They
cannot be part of an active, bundled telephone trunk.
•The LON and S-LK cables must be installed within grounded metallic conduit or
conductive cable trays to fully comply with the EMC requirements of EN61326.
•Shielded cable is not required for S-Link or LON communications wiring. If shielded wire
is used, the shield must be connected to earth ground at only one end, using a 470k
ohm 1/4 watt resistor, and the shield must be continuous from one end of the trunk to
the other.
•Conduit between a Sensor and a controller can be shared by S-LK wiring and LON
wiring, provided that this conduit does not also contain wiring for power, UI, AO, DI, or
DO. However, the S-Link and LON wiring must be separate cables.
Sensor Link (S-Link) Wiring
Using S-LK wiring, an sLON-5 or sLON-6 controller may be connected to one sLON-WTSx
sensor. S-Link wiring powers and enables the sensor. The S-Link requires at least
0.205 mm2(#24 AWG), twisted pair, voice-grade telephone wire. The capacitance between
conductors cannot be more than 32 pF per 0.3 m (1 ft). If shielded cable is used, the
capacitance between any one conductor and the others, connected to the shield, cannot be
more than 60 pF per 0.3 m (1 ft). The maximum wire length is 61 m (200 ft).
Note:
•The sLON-5 or sLON-6 controller can support one sLON-WTSx Sensor.
•S-Link wiring is not polarity-sensitive.
Connect the one sLON-5 or sLON-6 controller to an sLON-WTSx Sensor as follows:
1. Strip 6 mm (1/4 in.) of insulation from one end of the S-LK wires.
2. Connect the stripped wires to the S-LK terminals of the controller (Figure-5 or Figure-6).
The S-LK connection is not polarity-sensitive.
3. Strip 6 mm (1/4 in.) of insulation from the other end of the S-LK wires.
4. Connect the other end of the S-LK wires to the sensor.

LONWORKS Network (LON) Wiring
Approved Category 4 or 5, twisted-pair (two conductors) cable may be used for the
LONWORKS Network connection between the sLON-5 or sLON-6 controller and a LONWORKS
Network, or for the optional LONWORKS Network connection between the controller and an
sLON-WTSx Sensor.
Caution:
•See the section, “S-Link and LON Wiring Precautions,” on page 7.
•Do not mix LON network wiring with power, UI, AO, DI, or DO types of wiring.
•Conduit between an sLON-WTSx Sensor and a controller can be shared by LON
wiring and S-LK wiring, provided that this conduit does not also contain wiring for
power, UI, AO, DI, or DO. However, the S-Link and LON wiring must be separate
cables.
Connect the sLON-5 or sLON-6 controller to a LONWORKS Network or an sLON-WTSx
Sensor as follows:
1. Strip 6 mm (1/4 in.) of insulation from one end of the LON wires.
2. Connect the stripped wires to the LON terminals of the controller (Figure-8). The LON
connection is not polarity-sensitive.
3. Strip 6 mm (1/4 in.) of insulation from the other end of the LON wires.
4. If the sLON-5 or sLON-6 controller is to be connected to a LONWORKS network,
determine the topology chosen for the TP/FT-10 segment, then connect to additonal
controllers. To allow the sLON-5 or sLON-6 to share data with other LONWORKS
devices, the controller must be addressed and the desired network bindings must be
made. Refer to the section, “Installation on a LONWORKS Network,” to accomplish this.
Note:
•The sLON-5 and sLON-6 controllers use the LONWORKS Free Topology Transceiver
(FT 3150®). It may be connected to other controllers freely, using multiple wiring
tees and stars (Free Topology) or using a daisy-chain topology. If a daisy-chain
topology is chosen, the controllers must be connected only in a device-to-device
fashion (Bus Topology). A maximum of 62 nodes can be connected per wiring
segment.
Note:
•Use of the LON terminals to connect to the sLON-WTSx sensor permits use of the
sensor’s built-in LONWORKS Network Jack.
•To preserve the integrity of the network, the LONWORKS Network wiring connecting
an sLON controller to an sLON-WTSx sensor must be run to the sensor and back,
in daisy-chain fashion. A wire “spur” must not be used to connect the sensor to the
controller.
•While the sLON-WTSx sensor is not counted as a “node” in the LONWORKS
Network (LON), all LONWORKS Network wiring to the sensor must be counted when
determining the length of the TP/FT-10 wiring segment.
5. Install terminators as required.

I/O Wiring I/O connections include three software-configured universal inputs (UIs), one (sLON-5) or
three (sLON-6) high-voltage relay output(s) (DOs), and four Triac outputs. The Triac outputs
are for switching 24 Vac pilot-duty loads. See Figure-5 and Figure-6 for wire terminal
information.
Warning: Electrical shock hazard. Remove all power from both the controller and digital
outputs before making terminations.
UI, AO, and DI wiring require at least 0.205 mm2(#24 AWG), twisted pair, voice grade
telephone wire. The capacitance between conductors cannot be more than 32 pF per 0.3 m
(1 ft). If shielded cable is used, the capacitance between any one conductor and the others,
connected to the shield, cannot be more than 60 pF per 0.3 m (1 ft). Refer to Table-1 for
wiring specifications.
Universal Inputs (UI)
The Universal Inputs’ characteristics are software-configured to respond to one of the
following input types:
1. 10K ohm Thermistor with 11K ohm Shunt Resistor (refer to Figure-9).
2. 10K ohm Resistive.
3. 1K ohm Balco (refer to Figure-10).
4. 1K ohm Platinum (refer to Figure-10).
5. 1K ohm Resistive.
6. Analog Voltage (refer to Figure-11).
7. Analog Current (refer to Figure-12).
8. Digital Dry Switched Contact (refer to Figure-13).
Caution:
•If shielded cable is used for universal inputs (UI), connect only one end of the shield
to a single COM 0V terminal (not to GND).
•If shielded cable is used for other I/O, connect only one end of the shield to a single
earth ground point, at the controller’s ground (GND) terminal.
•Input and output devices cannot share common wiring. Each connected device
requires a separate signal and return conductor.
•UI, S-Link, and LON wiring cannot share a conduit with either power wiring or
high-voltage relay wiring.
Note: UI and S-Link wiring can share a single conduit.
10K Thermistor with 11K Shunt Resistor
Any of the sLON-5 or sLON-6 controller’s UI inputs can be configured for Thermistor input.
When configured in this way, a 10K ohm Thermistor with 11K ohm shunt resistor may be
connected to the sLON-5 or sLON-6 controller to sense the space temperature. See Table-2
for temperature versus resistance data for this thermistor.

Digital Triac Outputs (DOs)
The sLON-5 and sLON-6 controllers contain four 24 Vac (digital) Triac outputs. Before
wiring these outputs, refer to Table-3 for their electrical specifications.
Caution:
•Do not mix DO wiring with power, high-voltage relay, DI, UI, S-Link, LON, or AO wiring.
•The total output load for DO1 through DO4 is 12 VA. This limit applies whether one, two,
three, or all four DOs are ON at the same time. Exceeding this limit may result in the
loss of controller power until the external fault is removed and the internal PTC (Positive
Temperature Coefficient) device cools sufficiently. The PTC is a current-limiting thermal
safety device.
•Triac output terminals accept one 0.823 mm2(#18 AWG) or smaller wire. The selected
wire gage must be consistent with the load current rating.
Note:
•DO1 through DO4 are Triac outputs for switching 24 Vac loads only, such as pilot-duty
relays and floating control actuators.
•Triac outputs switch the load circuit to ground and are supplied through the 24VAC
terminals.
Connect the sLON-5 or sLON-6 controller’s Triac output terminals (DO1, DO2, DO3, and
DO4) as follows:
1. Connect one side of a 24 Vac load to one of the 24VAC terminals.
Caution: Whenever the sLON-5 or sLON-6 is connected to share I/O with other
controllers, care must be exercised to connect the power for the inputs in a consistent
manner. Refer to the wiring diagram on the cover.
2. Connect the other side of the load to a Triac output terminal (DO1, DO2, DO3, or DO4).
See Figure-14.

High-Voltage Relay Output
The sLON-5 controller contains one high-voltage relay output and the sLON-6 controller
contains three such outputs. Before wiring a high-voltage output, refer to Table-4 for its
electrical specifications.
Caution:
•Do not mix high-voltage relay wiring with any other controller wiring.
•High-voltage relay terminals accept one 2.08 mm2(#14 AWG) or smaller wire. The
selected wire gage must be consistent with the load current rating.
Connect the sLON-5 or sLON-6 controller’s high-voltage relay terminal(s) (DO5 and C5 for
the sLON-5; DO5, C5, DO6, C6, DO7, and C7 for sLON-6) to 230 Vac power and the

Power Supply Wiring Power Supply Wiring Precautions
Caution:
•The sLON-5 and sLON-6 controllers contain a non-isolated half-wave rectifier power
supply and must not be powered by transformers used to power other devices
containing non-isolated full-wave rectifier power supplies.
•Do not mix power wiring or high-voltage relay wiring with any other controller wiring.
•Use a Class 2 power transformer supplying a nominal 24 Vac (20.4 to 30 Vac),
50/60 Hz. It must have a minimum rating of 9.5 VA plus the DO1 through DO4 total
output load of 12 VA maximum, up to a total of 21.5 VA per controller. In the European
Community, a safety-isolating SELV (Safety Extra Low-Voltage), limited energy source
(<100 VA) transformer that conforms to EN 60742 must be used.
•The transformer frame must be grounded, and the supply to the transformer must have
a circuit breaker or disconnect.
Note:
•24 Vac power wiring can be intermixed with DO wiring.
•Twisted or untwisted cable can be used for power wiring.
•To preserve the integrity of the network, the LONWORKS Network wiring connecting an
sLON controller to an sLON-WTSx sensor must be run to the sensor and back, in
daisy-chain fashion. A wire “spur” must not be used to connect the sensor to the
controller.
Power Wiring
Refer to Figure-17 and Figure-18 for acceptable wiring configurations.
1. Connect the power ground wire to the Ground terminal (GND).
2. Connect the 24 Vac power wiring to the power terminals (24 VAC and 0V).

Installation on a
LONWORKS Network In addition to functioning in standalone mode, the sLON-5 or sLON-6 controller may be
connected to a LONWORKS network for data sharing with other LONWORKS devices. This is
made possible by addressing the controller on the network and performing the desired
network bindings.
LONWORKS Network Addressing
Address the controller on the LONWORKS network, as follows:
1. Verify that the controller is powered and connected to the network.
2. Perform the necessary steps to configure the controller, using the WPT Software Tool.
This involves the creation and downloading of control logic to the controller.
Note: The WPT Software Tool must be Version 4.0 or greater when it is used to
configure the sLON-5 and sLON-6 controllers on a LONWORKS network.
3. Using an appropriate network management tool, proceed to address the controller on
the LONWORKS network, up to the point at which the tool asks for the controller’s unique
Neuron®ID. This address will consist of a domain, subnet, and node.
4. Obtain the controller’s Neuron ID, using either of the following methods:
Service Pin Button
a. Make the network tool “listen” for the service pin message.
b. Press and release the controller’s service pin button. This sends a broadcast
message containing the controller’s Neuron ID (the controller’s LONWORKS serial
number). Service pin messages can be sent from a controller, whether addressed
or not, as many times as necessary.
Caution: Do not hold the service pin button in the pressed position. Holding the
service pin button for 6 seconds or longer will completely unconfigure the
controller.
Note: If an sLON-WTS2, sLON-WTS3, sLON-WTS4, or sLON-WTS5 sensor is
connected to the controller, the sensor’s override button can also be used to
generate a service pin message from the controller by holding the button for 5
seconds.
Manual Method
a. Indicate to the network tool that you will enter the Neuron ID manually.
b. Locate the controller’s Neuron ID. The sLON-5 or sLON-6 controller’s Neuron ID is
printed on a pair of barcode labels attached to the controller at the factory. One of
the labels remains on the controller permanently, while the other label can be
detached and placed on a job site’s node list plan.
c. Manually enter the Neuron ID into the tool, or scan the barcode.
5. Proceed to finish commissioning the controller on the LONWORKS network.
Network Bindings
Using an appropriate network management tool, perform the desired network bindings to
enable the sharing of data over the LONWORKS network.

Checkout Mechanical Hardware Checkout
1. If an sLON-WTSx Sensor is connected to the controller, verify that the wiring between
the sensor and the controller is installed according to the job wiring diagram and
national and local wiring codes.
Note: Wiring of the S-Link and LONWORKS network between the sensor and the controller
is not polarity sensitive.
2.If the controller is part of a LONWORKS network, verify that the TP/FT-10 LONWORKS
network wiring between the controller and other devices is installed according to the job
wiring diagram and the national and local electrical codes.
3.Verify that 24 Vac power is provided from a Class 2 power transformer, and that wiring is
installed according to the job wiring diagrams and the national and local electrical
codes.
4.If multiple devices are powered from the same transformer (Figure-18), verify that wiring
polarity has been maintained between all connected devices, and that all other issues
associated with powering multiple devices from a common transformer have been
addressed.
5.Verify that the digital outputs and the high-voltage relay(s) are wired according to the job
wiring diagram and the national and local electrical codes.
6.Make certain that the current requirements of the controlled device do not exceed the
rating of the controller’s digital outputs.
Communications Hardware Checkout
In addition to functioning in standalone mode, the sLON-5 or sLON-6 controller may be
connected to a LONWORKS network for data sharing with other LONWORKS devices. If so,
check the status of its network communications according to the following procedure:
1. Verify that all controlled equipment is in a manually controlled, safe state.
2.Place the controller’s power circuit breaker in the ON position. See the job wiring
diagrams for the location of this breaker.
3.Observe the green Data Transmission LED (Figure-19) and do the following:
a. If the green Data Transmission LED is steady ON or blinking, go to step 4.
b. If the green Data Transmission LED is OFF, check the power to the controller.
4.Observe the red Service LED (Figure-19) and do the following:
a. If the red Service LED is off or flashing, proceed with downloading an application
using WPT Software Tool and configuring the controller with a third party network
management tool.
b. If the red Service LED is steady ON, turn OFF the power to the controller, wait five
seconds, then turn the power ON. If the red Service LED is still steady ON, turn the
power OFF and replace the controller.
5. If necessary, perform additional checks and take the appropriate corrective action,
according to Table-5.
