Protection
Built-in surge and transient protection for power and communications in
compliance with EN61000-6-1.
Incoming power and network connections are protected by non-replaceable
internal solid-state polyswitches that reset themselves when the condition that
causes a fault returns to normal.
The power, network, input, and output connections are also protected against
transient excess voltage/surge events lasting no more than 10 msec.
CAUTION To protect against large electrical surges on serial EIA-485
networks, place a PROT485 at each place wire enters or exits the building.
Status indicators
LEDs indicate status of communications, running, errors, and power.

• Do not touch components or leads.
• Handle the board by its edges.
• Isolate from high voltage or electrostatic discharge.
• Ensure that you are properly grounded.
Screw the AppController into an enclosed panel using the mounting slots on the coverplate. Leave about 2 in. (5

Wiring the AppController for power
WARNING Do not apply line voltage (mains voltage) to the controller's ports and terminals.
CAUTIONS
The AppController is powered by a Class 2 power source. Take appropriate isolation measures when
mounting it in a control panel where non-Class 2 circuits are present.
Carrier controllers can share a power supply as long as you:
Maintain the same polarity.
Use the power supply only for Carrier controllers.
To wire for power
1
Remove power from the power supply.
2
Pull the screw terminal connector from the controller's power terminals labeled Gnd and Hot.
3
Connect the transformer wires to the screw terminal connector.
NOTE If using a grounded transformer, connect the ungrounded lead to the Hot terminal to avoid damaging
the transformer.
4
Apply power to the power supply.
5
Measure the voltage at the AppController’s power input terminals to verify that the voltage is within the
operating range of 21.6–26.4 Vac.
6
Insert the screw terminal connector into the AppController's power terminals.
7
Verify that the Power LED is on and the Run LED is blinking.
Addressing the AppController
You must give the AppController an address that is unique on the network. You can address the AppController
before or after you wire it for power.
1
If the AppController has been wired for power, pull the screw terminal connector from the controller power
terminals labeled Gnd and Hot. The controller reads the address each time you apply power to it.

Sensors are wired to the Rnet port on i-Vu® Open controllers. You can use the following ZS sensors:
ZS Standard
ZS Plus
ZS Pro
ZS Pro-F
NOTES
The ZS CO2 model uses 190 mA during sample period. Use auxiliary 12 Vdc, unless it is the only device on
the Rnet port.
A control program can use no more than 5 ZS Sensors
SPT sensors cannot share the Rnet with other devices.
For detailed instructions, see the ZS Sensor Installation Guide.

CAUTION If multiple controllers share power but polarity was not maintained when they were wired, the
difference between the controller's ground and the computer's AC power ground could damage the USB Link and
the controller. If you are not sure of the wiring polarity, use a USB isolator between the computer and the USB
Link. Purchase a USB isolator online from a third-party manufacturer.
These are accessory items that do not come with the controller.

If you have problems mounting, wiring, or addressing the AppController, contact Carrier Control Systems Support.
NOTE To help you troubleshoot, obtain a Module Status (Modstat) from the controller and review the System Error
and Warning details.
LED's
The LED’s indicate if the controller is speaking to the devices on the network. The LED’s should reflect
communication traffic based on the baud rate set. The higher the baud rate the more solid the LED’s become.
Verify the LED patterns by cycling power to the controller and noting the lights and flashes.
LEDs
Status
Power
Lights when power is being supplied to the controller.
NOTE The AppController is protected by internal solid state Polyswitches on the incoming power
and network connections. These Polyswitches are not replaceable, but they will reset themselves if
the condition that caused the fault returns to normal.
Rx
Lights when the controller receives data from the network segment; there is an Rx LED for Ports 1
and 2.
Tx
Lights when the controller transmits data from the network segment; there is an Rx LED for Ports 1
and 2.
Run
Lights based on controller health.
Error
Lights based on controller health.
The Run and Error LED's indicate controller and network status.
If Run LED shows...

Failure. Try the following solutions:
Turn the AppController off, then on.
Download memory to the AppController.
Replace the AppController.
NOTE If you resolve the issue but the Error LED does not turn off, cycle power to the controller.
Serial number
If you need the AppController's serial number when troubleshooting, the number is on a sticker on the back of the
main controller board.
To restore defaults
CAUTION This erases all archived information and user-configuration settings. You will have to reconfigure
all custom settings. It is recommended to restore the factory defaults only under the guidance of Carrier Control
Systems Support.
To erase volatile memory data and restore factory default configuration settings:
1
Turn off the AppController's power switch.
2
Put the Factory Defaults jumper on.
3
Turn on the AppController's power switch.
4
Remove the Factory Defaults jumper.

To replace the AppController's battery
To determine when to replace the battery, remove power and measure the voltage. If the voltage is below 2.9
volts, you need to replace the battery.
CAUTION Power must be ON to the AppController when replacing the battery, or your date, time, and trend
data will be lost.
1
Remove the battery from the controller, making note of the battery's polarity.
2
Insert the new battery, matching the battery's polarity with the polarity indicated on the AppController.
