schemes in your area.
Installation
Typical Application & Location
The AGS Water Temperature Monitor (WTM) is carefully designed for health care
facilities to monitor and control the water supply system. The controller
incorporates a simple user interface to reset and/or silence alarm condition.
Minimum and Maximum permitted water temperatures are configurable via the
internal switch and fascia controls upon installation.
Located and installed in positions determined by those who have knowledge of
the process plant system and equipment involved, and in consultation with both
safety and electrical engineering personnel.
The monitor should be installed in the correct orientation, as recommended by
the manufacturer at a height to suit access and status observation and is
designed for indoor operation only.
Mounting & Cabling
If mounting direct to wall – ensure the wall surface is flat to prevent
base distortion.
Where suitable cable glands/conduits are used for wire entry, use 20mm
(3/4 inch) max.
Restrain the hazardous live wiring from accidental loosening to prevent
wires from moving after installation and touching parts of opposite polarity
or at low voltages.
A switch or circuit breaker must be fitted, it must be accessible and
marked as the disconnecting device.
**** Isolate the equipment from all hazardous live power sources before
opening the cover.
-
Carefully remove the front cover from the unit by using an M3 socket wrench.
-
Using the rear base – mark mounting holes to the wall or align with an appropriate gang/pattress box.
-
Fixing straight to wall – drill 0.2” (5mm) hole, insert plugs and use the four screws (No.4 Pozi) provided.
Alternatively – Fix direct to a vertical 2-gang/double electrical pattress box. -
There are pre-fractured areas for cable entry on the rear of the base and pilot holes positioned on the top and bottom of the enclosure suitable for entry points up to ¾” (20mm). Drill out as necessary ensuring all swarf is removed from the box and holes have smooth edges.
-
Secure the front cover with all M4 bolts and insert security caps provided.
Circuit Board Terminals
Damage to PCBs when creating cable entry points may void any warranty!
Any damage attempting to remove the circuit board may void any warranty!
All Class 2 wiring is to be installed within flexible tubing to maintain
segregation between circuits!
Wiring of different circuits shall be separated by means of routing,
clamping or barrier!
A switch or circuit breaker must be fitted, it must be accessible and
marked as the disconnecting device!
A disconnector is required for the 24V supply, and an adequate
overcurrent device is fitted!
For field connections use wires suitable for at least 167°F (75°C)
Connecting both mains 120V~ and 24Vac/dc power is considered misuse –
use only one power input!
**** Terminals are pluggable for ease of wiring and therefore subject to
misplacement resulting in a hazardous condition!
Power Inputs
The controller requires an AC power supply of 110/240VAC wired to the
[POWER/LINE IN] connector using a 3A switched fused spur.
Alternatively, the unit can be powered via the 24VAC [POWER IN] terminal. When
power is introduced, a red LED will illuminate on the front of the controller
on the AGS Logo.
Valve Outputs
Use grounding terminals for gas valves not considered class II apparatus!
Connecting two valves to both mains 120V~ and 24V~ simultaneously is
considered misuse – use only one valve output!
A water solenoid valve should be powered using one of the terminals marked
[VALVE OUT].
Terminals offer control via 100-120V~ or 24V~. When wired to a normally closed
water solenoid valve, the WTM controller can be used to isolate the water
supply when water temperature is outside of allowable Max and Min temperature
settings.
BMS Relay Output
Connections are available on the board for Building Management Systems. [NO –
Normally Open] [C – Common] [NC – Normally Closed]. This is a relay that
changes state in alarm / water off.
0-10V Analog Output
A single 0-10V output is scaled to the PT100 temperature sensor as follows.
| 32°F | 50°F | 68°F | 86°F | 104°F | 122°F | 140°F | 158°F | 176°F | 194°F | 212°F |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0V | 1V | 2V | 3V | 4V | 5V | 6V | 7V | 8V | 9V | 10V |
PT100 Temperature Sensor Input Adjust Min and Max Allowable Water
Temperature
Turn On the dipswitch [SET] located on the circuit board to program Min and Max water temperature.
Using Up and Down arrows located on the front fascia select required Min temperature.
Press OK and repeat for Max temperature. Turn Off the dipswitch [SET] to exit temperature programming menu and save.
Operation
General
When power is supplied to the WTM controller, the LED on the logo will
illuminate Red. To turn the WTM controller off, disconnect electrical power
supply.
When the temperature falls outside the maximum or minimum temperature setting,
the water supply will be turned off and an audible alarm will sound which can
be turned off by pressing the MUTE button. Press RESET to clear alarm
condition and continue normal operation.
Display
The front display will show water supply status and current water temperature.
To see MIN and MAX water temperature settings press OK, programmed
temperatures will be displayed for ~5 seconds.
Adjust Min and Max Allowable Water Temperature
Turn On the dipswitch [SET] located on the circuit board to program Min and
Max water temperature. Using Up and Down arrows located on the front fascia
select required Min temperature. Press OK and repeat for Max temperature. Turn
Off the dipswitch [SET] to exit temperature programming menu and save.
Maintenance
**** Keep the equipment in good working order – follow these basic
principles.
✓ Remove any dust/debris from the outer enclosure regularly using a slightly
damp cloth.
✓ Never use detergents or solvents to clean the equipment.
✓ Never paint the equipment.
