Table lis t s wiring types, sizes and distances for
modulating thermostat with LonWorks®
communication (P/N 90425104), modulating
thermostat without communication (P/N 90425105)
and BACnet® programmable thermostat
(P/N 90425109)
Power Requirements
Modulating thermostats require 24 volts, AC power.
10.4.8 Remote Analog Signal
Remote Analog Signal 0-10 Vdc or 4-20mA output
from external controller or Building Management
System (BMS) directly dictates heater(s) firing rate.
An algorithm must be programmed into the BMS or
external controller to receive zone air temperature
signals from its own temperature sensors and then
deliver an output signal to the heater(s) for the
desired firing rate.
For 0-10Vdc control of the heater(s) firing rate, the
following control conditions apply:
ON/OFF relay at the external controller or BMS must
be wired to R and W terminals on the heater control
board to turn the heater ON and OFF.
Minimum rated input at 1% of signal (0-1Vdc).
Full rated input at 90% of signal (9Vdc).
Input varies linearly between 1Vdc and 9Vdc.
