DESCRIPTION
The nVent RAYCHEM ACS-UIT3 is a wall-mounted display which allows the User Interface Terminal (UIT) to be installed remotely. The ACS-UIT3 is used with nVent RAYCHEM ACS-30 series control and monitoring systems. The ACS-UIT3 is rated IP 65 (Type 4), and is approved for nonhazardous indoor and outdoor locations. These instructions describe how to mount the ACS-UIT3 on a wall and how to make connections to the User Interface Terminal and are intended for a qualified electrician.
TOOLS REQUIRED

IMPORTANT:
The ACS-UIT3 is an electronic device. During installation, take the following precautions to avoid damage to its electronic components.
· Handle with care to avoid mechanical damage.
· Keep electronics dry. · Avoid exposure to static electricity.

· Avoid contamination with metal filings, liquids, or other foreign matter.
· Take care to protect the user interface board on the enclosure door.
· Use agency-approved conduit bushings, adapters, and cable glands to keep the enclosure protected from dust and fluids.

MOUNTING THE ENCLOSURE
The nVent RAYCHEM ACS-UIT3 controller must be mounted in a nonhazardous indoor or outdoor location. Choose a location indoors or outdoors where the controller will be protected from the elements and kept above ­25°C (­13°F) and below 50°C (122°F). Install the enclosure using the four #1/4-20 bolts (not provided) in the mounting holes with centers as shown below.

CONNECTING MAIN POWER

Use only copper conductors for field wiring. A close-up of the power connection terminals is shown below. This connection energizes the nVent RAYCHEM ACS-UIT3 electronics only; it does not provide power to the heat tracing or contactor coils.

Note: If the nVent RAYCHEM ACS-UIT3 user interface has a different source of power than the heat tracing, it may be worthwhile to install an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) so the unit can continue to control and/or monitor the heat tracing in the event of a localized power failure.

CONNECTING MAIN POWER

The ACS-PCM2-5 and RMM modules communicate with the ACS-UIT3 over an RS-485 network, which may have a total cable length of 1200 m (4000 ft).

The RS-485 communicating cable shall be a shielded, two conductor (twisted pair) cable.

CONNECTING RS-485, RS-232 AND ETHERNET REMOTE PORT COMMUNICATION (OPTIONAL)

These ports are used to communicate to a host computer or DCS and are user selectable for either RS-485, RS-232 or Ethernet. If the RS-232 port is utilized, the supplied female to female, 9-pin null modem adaptor cable must be used.

ALARM LIGHT AND OPTIONAL ALARM RELAYS

Relay 1 on the ACS-UIT3 is factory-configured and wired for "Any Alarms". It will energize a push to test light on the front of the panel if any alarm occurs.

The ACS-UIT3 has two other Form C alarm relays for external alarms. Each relay can be connected to an annunciator light or Building Management System (BMS).

Note: The above relays are shown in the energized position without an alarm condition. The relay will change state with an alarm condition or loss of power.

Comments

Pull-down

(As-shipped default) RS-485 network "­" signal is forced to a determinate state when idle.

RS-485 network "­" signal is not forced to a determinate state when idle.

One device (typically this ACS-UIT3) on the RS-485 network should force the network "­" signal to a determinate state.

Pull-up

(As-shipped default) RS-485 network "+" signal is forced to a determinate state when idle.

RS-485 network "+" signal is not forced to a determinate state when idle.

One device (typically this ACS-UIT3) on the RS-485 network should force the network "+" signal to a determinate state.

(As-shipped default) RS-485 Termination network is terminated with
120-ohm resistor.

RS-485 network is not terminated.

Terminate the device (ACS-UIT3 or other) that is at each end of the RS-485 network, for a total of two terminated devices. No other devices on the network should be terminated.

RESET SWITCH

The Reset switch can be found on the side of the ACS-UIT3. A

Reset

pointed object is required to press the reset switch and restart the

ACS-30 software
