Troubleshooting the MicroTech
®
III
Controller
General Use and Information
The Microtech III controller is provided with two drive
terminals, R(24VAC) and C(0 VAC) that can be used
bytheendusertodrivethethermostatinputs(G,Y1,
Y2, W1, and W2) and control inputs (U, E, and O). Any
combination of a single board drive terminal (R or C)
may be used to operate the MicroTech III controller’s
control or thermostat inputs. However, only one drive
terminal (R or C) can be connected to any individual
input terminal or damage may result. Some control
inputs are not accessible to the end user (for example,
HP, LP, SLTS, and COF).
Typically the Microtech III controller’s R (24VAC)
terminal is used to drive the board’s thermostat inputs
and control inputs by connecting it to the R terminal
of an industry standard thermostat. The control outputs
of the standard thermostat are then connected to the
Microtech III controller thermostat inputs and control
inputs as needed. Any remaining board input(s) may
be operated by additional thermostat outputs or remote
relays (dry contacts only).
All Microtech III controller inputs must be operated
by dry contacts powered by the control board’s power
terminals. No solid state devices (Triacs) may be used to
operate the Microtech III controller inputs. No outside
power source may be used to operate the Microtech III
controller inputs.
To avoid electrical shock, personal injury or death, be
sure that field wiring complies with local and national fire,
safety, and electrical codes, and voltage to the system is
within the limits shown in the job-specific drawings and
unitelectricaldataplate(s).
Power supply to unit must be disconnected when
making field connections. To avoid electrical shock, per-
sonal injury or death, be sure to rigorously adhere to field
wiring procedures regarding proper lockout and tagout of
components.
