installation involves connecting a 24V signal from X3/67 to the customer-
supplied fan relay/contactor.
Introduction
This document is design to describe the wiring requirements for the three different Aira DU/SD and HCV control boxes WD-CH637-M, WD-CH37-S and WD-CH641 (for DU/SD) and needs to be used in conjunction with the Aira applicable wiring diagrams. ONLY authorised electricians should attempt to make any connections with these control boxes.
Control box Design
Aira Control boxes are supplied in two configurations, WD-CH641 is designed to suit DU and SD heaters. WD-CH637-M HCV, HCVR, Heaters. Dual heat exchanger variants of all models use a combination of WD-CH637-M and WD-CH637-S. There are multiple control configurations which can be used, including Building Management System (BMS), Rotary wall switch, and Wall switch. In order to access the different control options, different control box connections must be made to suit the installation type. For an installation type which is not listed within this document please contact a Seeley International representative for assistance.
Unit Identification
- First step is to determine the unit configuration DU, SD, HCV or HCVR. All units using this control box use either a DU or SD heater which are identical except for the heat exchanger height. The heat exchanger height does not affect the wiring of the unit so DU and SD heater can be treated as the same unit.
- DU/SD units can have either a blower attached or a remote blower (Customer supplied) further back in the ductwork. If the unit has a blower attached it is known as a DU with blower or SD with blower. If it has a remote blower the unit is supplied as a DU without blower or SD without Blower.
- HCV and HCVR units are easily identified by the blower section also containing evaporative cooling pads. And are essentially a DU/SD heater and an evaporative cooler adjoined.
- Dual heat exchanger models can be variants of any of the units described above. They are identified by 1. Clear division in the heat exchanger 2. Dual control boxes (Master and Slave) and 3. Dual Gas inlets
All Units Main Isolator
All control boxes will require 1Phase 240V power supply. Depending on the model requirements the Main Isolator will need to be supplied with either 1 Phase 240V or 3 Phase 415V, Please refer to Model Specifications and Rating Plate
NOTE : The drawing package contains the full wiring diagram for the Aira universal control box and is supplied for fault finding only. No attempt should be made to alter/bypass the wiring within the control box except where specified in this document. A Seeley International representative must be contacted if there is a perceived fault present.
Control box labelling
The control box is labeled to help identify the control terminals need. The terminal strips have a ‘X’ identifier and the individual terminals a unique number within the corresponding terminal block i.e. X1/43 is Terminal number 43 within Terminal block X1. The terminal blocks are numbered within the control box but can also be identified by using the drawings. Terminal Block locations see Drawing WD-CH637-002 and WD-CH641-002. See drawing WD-CH637-003 for control box WD-CH637-S.
Units Operated by BMS
BMS have the ability to control the systems within the unit but should not be used to bypass fundamental safety controls.
SD/DU Heater 3rd Party Supplied Blower
DU/SD heater without blower will require a blower to supply air to the unit. This is generally in the form of an evaporative cooler in ventilation mode or an independent blower installed upstream of the heater, which is customer supplied. The DU/SD heater uses an Auto Fan Switch (AFS) which must be operated in order for the heater to function. This is links in with the temperature sensors and forms part of the heaters safety system, this must not be bridged or bypassed. In addition the AFS / Fan Low signal must be incorporated into the fan control circuit to prevent overheating of the heat exchanger at the end of the heating cycle. The AFS is a thermostat that detects when the heat exchanger is hot and operates the fan to provide air flow over the heat exchanger until the temperature lowers to the set condition. In order to operate the AFS a 24V signal must be connected from X3/67 to the customer supplied fan relay/contactor. All BMS setups are expected to be a dry contact. See wiring diagram WD-CH641-005 & WD-CH641-006 for full BMS connection details.
SD/DU Heater with AIRA Blower
DU/SD heater with blower have a fan/blower factory fitted to the rear of the DU/SD heater and will have the fan motor starter box prewired to the control box. All BMS setups are expected to be a dry contact. See wiring diagram WD- CH641-005 & WD-CH641-006 for full BMS connection details.
SD/DU Heater VSD
There are several different ways a Variable speed drive can be setup to operate with the unit. The most typical installation is to setup the VSD to operate when low fan relay is switched on. A 24V signal must be connected from X3/67 to the customer supplied fan relay/contactor. All BMS setups are expected to be a dry contact. See wiring diagram WD-CH641-005 & WD-CH641-006 for full BMS connection details.
