1.1.3 Configurations
The IC-610 contains a microprocessor which memorizes
the operational logic programmed in the configuration
you will download. The operational logic is a software
program created for your particular configuration (ie. your
equipment and installed control modules). The
operational logic is stored inside the small configuration
module supplied with the IC-610. After the “download”,
the configuration program is stored in the main (bottom)
board. Should this board be replaced, a new download
will be required. The downloading procedure is described
later in this manual (refer to section 3.3 of this manual).
1.1.4 Applications
The IC-610 control is used for heating, cooling and
ventilation equipment in animal confinement buildings or
greenhouses. The applications where the IC-610 can be
used include the following systems:
• Multistage ventilation / heating / sprinkler systems
• Combined natural and forced ventilation systems
• Room ventilation systems
1.1.5 Control modules

open both faceplates.
•Install mounting screw on wall and hang the unit in
place by sliding the rear mounting hole of the IC-610
over the screw (see figure 1).
•Use two more screws to secure the IC-610 in place
using the bottom mounting holes.
2.3 CONNECTION PROCEDURE
For the following connection procedure, refer to figure 2.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
The installation of the IC-610 and its connections to the
various control modules should be well-planned for
optimal performance and ease of use. The following
guidelines are given to help establish the best installation
configuration for your building and for the overall safety of
people and livestock.
2.3.1 Electrical Power.
Locate the power source of your building and install the
IC-610 in the most convenient location. Protection from
electrical surges should be included in the planning of
each installation. The IC-610 electrical power default is a
230 VAC power source. It is also able to run on 115 VAC.
2.3.1.1 - Line Voltage Selector Switch
This switch is located on the surface of the main
(bottom) board and adapts the IC-610 to 115 VAC
or 230 VAC line voltage (see figure 2).
Mounting hardware is not included.
230V
115V
−ATTENTION
−Set the line voltage switch inside the IC-610 to the correct
value before powering up the Intelligent Control.

2.3.2 Electrical Power 3 Phase, 208 VAC/Control Modules
Control modules which are connected to the IC-610
(VSM-2, CIP-1) require the same phase as the IC-610,
all other components can use a separate power source.
2.3.3 Electrical Cables.
All electrical cables must be installed according to
the local wiring code. Each control module must
be connected to the master control unit using a
two-wire low voltage cable. It is recommended to
use a shielded wire cable to interconnect the
different modules to the IC-610. The shielded
wire cable is very efficient to protect the IC-610
against any electromagnetic interference
generated by lightning or nearby operating
machinery. This principle applies especially when
the cable is longer than 3,5 meters (10 ft) and for
any probe extensions of the same length or
longer. See configuration document for wire and
cable gauges.
2.3.4 Electrical Grounding.
All cables shields should be connected to the
IC-610 power ground only, except for the cable
connected to a PC interface (SVPC-40), where
the shield should be connected as instructed in
the SVPC-40 manual.
Make sure that the IC-610 and both power lines of the
variable fan(s) are on the same phase. Otherwise the
control signal of the IC-610 will be too early or too late and
the fan will not rotate as expected.

2.3.5 Safety Control Backup.
A safety control backup is strongly recommended to
ensure a safe environment. The use of an alarm,
warning device or other backup device, which can
detect equipment failure, blown fuses and/or tripped
breakers, helps to prevent harm or damage to the
building and its contents. The safety control backup
wiring, illustrated in figures 3 and 4 and the following
guidelines, will help you avoid serious consequences.
a)BACKUP POWER SOURCE. A backup relay (DPDT)
connects to the power source 1 in normal
operation but will switch to the power source 2 if
source 1 is disabled. The backup relay should
be selected to ensure it is able to support the
required power load (see figure 3).
b)BACKUP THERMOSTAT. It is also strongly
recommended to put a thermostat to at least
one fan parallel to the IC-610 module output
(see figure 4). If the Intelligent Control fails, the
backup thermostat will activate the dedicated
fan at full speed as soon as temperature
reaches the set point of the thermostat. The
thermostat should be accessible for adjustment
and should be set at 3 to 5 degrees above the
fan’s relative set point.
2.3.6 Terminal Block Connections.
The IC-610 terminal block comes with 4 connections for
control modules: P1 to P4 (see figure 2). Each module
must be wired to its own terminal. Refer to the
configuration document and wiring diagrams supplied
for your equipment.
