To wire the return air enthalpy sensor, perform the
following:
1. Use a 2--conductor, 18 or 20 AWG, twisted pair cable
to connect the return air enthalpy sensor to the enthal-
py controller.
2. Connect the field--supplied RED wire to (+) spade con-
nector on the return air enthalpy sensor and the (+) ter-
minal on the enthalpy controller. Connect the BLK wire
to (--) spade connector on the return air enthalpy sensor
and the (--) terminal on the enthalpy controller.
Smoke Detectors
Smoke detectors are available as factory--installed options on
50TC--D16 units. Smoke detectors may be specified for
Supply Air only or for Return Air without or with
economizer or in combination of Supply Air and Return Air.
Return Air smoke detectors are arranged for vertical return
configurations only. All components necessary for operation
are factory--provided and mounted. The unit is
factory--configured for immediate smoke detector shutdown
operation; additional wiring or modifications to unit terminal
board may be necessary to complete the unit and smoke
detector configuration to meet project requirements.
Units equipped with factory--optional Return Air smoke
detectors require a relocation of the sensor module at unit
installation. See “Completing Installation of Return Air
Smoke Sensor:” on page 43 for details.
System —
The smoke detector system consists of a four--wire
controller and one or two sensors. Its primary function is
to shut down the rooftop unit in order to prevent smoke
from circulating throughout the building. It is not to be
used as a life saving device.
Controller —
The controller (see Fig. 76) includes a controller housing,
a printed circuit board, and a clear plastic cover. The
controller can be connected to one or two compatible duct
smoke sensors. The clear plastic cover is secured to the
housing with a single captive screw for easy access to the
wiring terminals. The controller has three LEDs (for
Power, Trouble and Alarm) and a manual test/reset button,
all located on the cover face.
Sensor Module —
The sensor module (see Fig. 77) includes a plastic housing, a
printed circuit board, a clear plastic cover, a sampling tube
inlet and an exhaust tube. The sampling tube (when used)
and exhaust tube are attached during installation. The
sampling tube varies in length depending on the size of the
rooftop unit. The clear plastic cover permits visual
inspections without having to disassemble the sensor. The
cover attaches to the sensor housing using four captive
screws and forms an airtight chamber around the sensing
electronics. Each sensor includes a harness with an RJ45
terminal for connecting to the controller. Each sensor has
four LEDs (for Power, Trouble, Alarm and Dirty) and a
manual test/reset button (on the left--side of the housing).
