FX-PC controllers are encased in a durable, plenum-rated, plastic housing. The plastic housing may eliminate the need for a separate enclosure for plenum-rated construction. Check regional, national, and local code requirements for appropriate applications.
FX-PC controllers feature bright, color-coded LEDs, visible on the controller cover, that indicate the supply power, communications bus, and EOL switch status, as well as a variety of fault conditions to aid troubleshooting the controller and bus.
An integral EOL switch on each MS/TP controller allows you to enable the controller as a bus terminating device, which when properly configured, reduces reflected noise on the bus and improves bus communication.
Each MS/TP controller has an easily accessible, eight-position DIP switch that you can use to set a valid and unique device address for each controller on the bus. A blank space is included on the controller cover for recording the device address.
The BACnet/IP field controllers feature rotary switches to give each controller a unique number to physically identify the controller and relate it to the building drawings.
The controllers feature removable, color-coded, keyed, and labelled terminal block plugs for the supply power and communications bus terminations. Most models have fixed, color-coded, and labelled terminal blocks for the input and output terminations, which facilitate installing and servicing the controllers.
The I/O terminations on the PCV models are spade lugs. Pluggable screw terminal blocks that connect to the I/O spade terminations are also available as optional accessories. FX-PCA2612 models have removable, color-coded, and labelled terminal block plugs for the I/O terminations.
The controllers have integral mounting clips and a DIN rail track on the backplate so that you can easily mount the controller either on a horizontal section of 35 mm DIN rail or directly to a wall or flat vertical surface. Some PCG models have a backlit user interface display with adjustable brightness and contrast to ensure readability in low light environments. The easy-to-use display provides convenient local monitoring and adjusting of key setpoints and control parameters. For the PCG and PCA models without a display, a stand-alone FX-DIS1710 Local Controller Display module, F4-DLK0350 Local Controller Display module, or MAP Gateway are available that connect directly to the SA Bus port. For details, refer to the FX-DIS Local Controller Display Product Bulletin (LIT-12011667), F4-DLK0350 Product Bulletin (LIT-12014010) or Mobile Access Portal Gateway Product Bulletin (LIT-12011884) respectively.
