INSPECT EQUIPMENT -- File claim with shipping company,
prior to installation, if shipment is damaged or incomplete.
Component Location and Wiring Considerations
ELECTRICAL OPERATION HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury
or death.
Before installing, modifying, or servicing system, the main
electrical disconnect switch must be in the OFF position and
install a lockout tag. There may be more than 1 power
disconnect switch. Lock out and tag switch with a suitable
warning label.
!WARNING
NOTE: All wiring must comply with national, state, and local
codes.
LOCATING THE UNIT -- WiFi B--SAM is approved for indoor
use only and should never be installed with any of its components
exposed to outdoor environmental conditions. The WiFi B--SAM
may be installed in any area where the temperature remains
between --4_F/--20_C and 158_F/70_C, and there is no
condensation. The cover must be installed to prevent damage from
other sources. Do not locate where it will be accessible to children.
It should be mounted in the vertical position.
For wiring convenience, the WiFi B--SAM can be located
anywhere between the network router and HVAC equipment. WiFi
B--SAM does not need to be located near the HVAC equipment
and can be located near the router, where the wireless signal
strength remains strong (good or very good).
EQUIPMENT DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in equipment
damage.
Do not mount unit on plenum, ductwork, or flush against
furnace.
CAUTION
!
WIRING CONSIDERATIONS -- Ordinary thermostat wire is
ideal when wiring the WiFi B--SAM (shielded cable is not
necessary). Use 22 gauge or larger for normal wiring. Lengths over
100 ft / 30 m should use 20 gauge or larger wire.
Install Components
INSTALL WiFi B--SAM
The WiFi B--SAM is designed so that wires can be inserted
through the back cover from above or below. Plan wire routing
before mounting.
1. Remove cover to access mounting holes.
2. Mount back plate to wall using screws and wall anchors
provided.
3. Level back plate and tighten screws.
EQUIPMENT DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in equipment
damage or improper operation.
Improper wiring of the ABC connector will cause the system
to operate improperly. Check to make sure all wiring is
correct before proceeding with installation or turning on of
power.
CAUTION
!
Connect Evolution Systems
Connect the A, B, and C wires from the Evolution system to
terminals labeled A1, B1, and C1. Connect the second Evolution
system (if present) to the terminals labeled A2, B2 and C2.
ABC bus wiring only requires a three--wire connection; however, it
is good practice to run thermostat cable greater than three wires in
the event of a damaged or broken wire during the installation.
It is recommended that the following color--code be used when
wiring each ABC connector:
A -- Green Data A
B -- Yellow Data B
C -- White 24VAC (Com)
NOTE: The D--wire (red-- 24 VAC hot) from the Evolution
system is not connected to the WiFi B--SAM. It is not mandatory
that the above color code be used, but each ABC connector in the
system MUST be wired consistently.
Connect Auxiliary Sensor (optional)
The WiFi B--SAM will support a dry contact sensor for use with
water detection or some other use as seen fit. Connect one side of
the contacts to connector AUX C (common) and the other side to
connector AUX (input). The sensor input can provide up to 20mA
at 5 volts d.c. If the sensor input is active, it will not shutdown or
affect operation of the HVAC system(s). A pop--up message will
appear on the User Interface indicating the auxiliary sensor is
active. The homeowner will also be notified via email and/or
phone if so chosen on the Internet web interface.
Connect Power Source
A separate 24VAC transformer is included to power the WiFi
B--SAM. Do NOT connect the D--wire (24VAC hot) from the
Evolution system.
The transformer is heavy. Make sure it is secured to the power
outlet with an appropriate screw through the boss on the
transformer.
System Start--Up
The User Interface of the Evolution system will automatically find
the WiFi B--SAM at power on. It will enter the system installation
screens automatically and will display the Equipment Summary
screen when finished. The Equipment Summary screen will
display REMOTE ACCESS near the bottom.
If REMOTE ACCESS is not displayed on the Equipment
Summary screen, check connections to the ABC wires as well as
ensure the yellow LED is lit on the WiFi B--SAM (this ensures the
module has power). The Green LED will be lit next to each ABC
connection if the User Interface has established communications.
Network Setup
After the Evolution system has learned the WiFi B--SAM, the
homeowner’s network parameters may be entered at the User
Interface. If the homeowner’s network router is setup for DHCP,
then the WiFi B--SAM’s network parameters cannot be changed.
To edit the network parameters, enter the Advance Setup screens
and press the right side button several times until WiFi B--SAM
SETUP appears.
