Loosen screws; remove empty slot cover observing card orientation and Note: The HLM must be installed after all PCMs. If only one PCM installed, the HLM must be in slot 2. If two PCMs are already installed, the HLM must be secure module in place using retention screws from slot cover. D. in slot 3. (*only one HLM can be installed) Slot numbers Installed PCMs Slot cover indicates empty slot A. C. Set DIP switch on module C. for required input type. *HLM 0-1V and 0-5V/1-5V input types are special order. HLMs ordered with either input type cannot be configured or programmed for any other type.

Small flathead screwdriver 7. Wire and wire stripper (maximum 14awg) STEP 2 Installation and Moniting A. Cut proper size opening in panel. C. Insert curved tab of retention A. brackets(C) into notches in the top, bottom and sides of the 92-93 mm (3.62-3.65 inches) MCT(B) and tighten screws evenly in order to secure the MCT in place. C. 92-93 mm (3.62-3.65 inches) Curved tab fits in slot on MCT B. Insert MCT controller through front panel cutout. B. Mounting Panel Slot for retention bracket STEP 3 Connections and Wiring A. Connect power using 14 AWG copper conductors rated for mini mum 90°C.To make a connection, strip ¼" of insulation off the end of the wire, turn the connector screw counter-clockwise until the gap is wide open, insert the wire all the way in, and turn the screw clockwise until it's tight (maximum torque rating = 0.51 N-m). B. Input/output control wiring: Connect input/output wiring to the installed PCM/HLM modules. PCM connection diagram provided on left side of MCT. HLM connection diagram provided on right side of MCT. C. Communication interfaces: Connect the MCT B. to a network and or PC via its serial communication interface (optional). A. Note: High voltage units (90 to 250 VAC) are equipped with an orange power connector. Low voltage units (11 to 26 VAC/DC) are equipped with a green power connector. C. Note: A communication connection is not required to set up or use your MCT. Note: Removable connectors make wiring easy. Remove the connector, attach your wires and simply plug it back in. Note: Upon application of power, if the MCT does not come on within 2 seconds, remove power. Check wiring to insure proper connections and try to power up again. An Internal fuse will prevent damage for over voltage conditions; however, it isn't guaranteed.
