SECTION 1: INTRODUCTION SECTION 1: INTRODUCTION 1.1 1.3.3 WHAT IS A ROBERTS GORDON BZC CONTROLLER? The ROBERTS GORDON® BZC 100 is a micro processor based controller designed for the most efficient control of CORAYVAC®, VANTAGE®, GORDONRAY® and CARIBE® heaters. This controller is capable of giving control outputs from 3 relays, 1 of which affords heating zone control capabilities. The controller also features 2 inputs which are used for signal condition monitoring. 1.
ROBERTS GORDON® BZC 100 INSTALLATION MANUAL IMPORTANT READ THIS FIRST!!!! 1.5 EXAMPLE SITE LAYOUT It is essential to follow this section to understand how to use the information in this manual. Please ensure that you understand this example before proceeding with the installation. CORAYVAC® system arranged in a single zone. Shown below is an example layout for a building where a ROBERTS GORDON® BZC 100 Controller will be used to control the infrared heating system shown.
SECTION 1: INTRODUCTION 1.6 INTERNAL CONNECTION INFORMATION The following Section shows the configuration of relays and inputs for the example layout shown on Page 2, Section 1.5, Figure 1. Below is a diagram showing the terminal layout within the controller. The relay contacts and inputs are assigned functions through the configuration process. The controller needs to be configured for the individual application.
ROBERTS GORDON® BZC 100 INSTALLATION MANUAL 1.7 HOW TO READ THE CONFIGURATION SHEET nal relays. The tables shown on Page 4, Section 1.7, Figure 3 represent the assignments of relays and inputs that would result from the configuration of the panel for the example site layout shown on Page 2, Section 1.5, Figure 1. In the example, the CORAYVAC® zone requires one output for the burners and one for the pump. The pump assigned to Zone 1 is connected via a load relay to RL2 (see Page 5, Section 1.
SECTION 1: INTRODUCTION 1.8 EXAMPLE LAYOUT WIRING INFORMATION The external wiring diagram shown below represents the external wiring required for the example site layout on Page 2, Section 1.5, Figure 1. The information on the configuration tables for outputs and inputs determines the connection required. The product specific wiring arrangements are found starting on Page 12, Section 4. For the external wiring shown below, see the typical CRV zone wiring diagram, Page 17, Section 4.6.

ROBERTS GORDON® BZC 100 INSTALLATION MANUAL SECTION 3: INSTALLATION Installation of the ROBERTS GORDON® BZC 100 Controller and the associated external electrical wiring must be done by an electrician qualified in the installation of control systems for heating equipment. 3.1 3.2.3 Disconnect the ribbon cable from the controller PCB board. Place the cover and the hardware in a safe place for refitting after the external wiring connections have been made. 3.2.4 Position the controller.
SECTION 3: INSTALLATION Three separator plates must be removed so that one plate remains, separating low and line voltage. 3.3 ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS WARNING Page 9, Section 3.2.10, Figure 9, shows the separator plate detail for an installation where relay 1 switches line voltage and relay 2 switches low voltage 12V DC. The three un-used separator plates must be discarded.
ROBERTS GORDON® BZC 100 INSTALLATION MANUAL 3.3.2 ROBERTS GORDON® Pump Requirements The pumps must be isolated separately from the panel. The contactor or relay will be energized via an output from the panel switched through the designated relay. See Page 6, Section 1.9 for site specific configuration. Use the table below to select the correct pump external wiring diagram. ROBERTS GORDON® Pump EP 100 Supply Voltage Relay Coil Page Section 120V 1ph 120V AC 16 4.5 EP 201 120V 1ph 120V AC 16 4.
SECTION 3: INSTALLATION 3.3.5 Cable requirements: Line power supply: As per individual building specification for class of cable to be used. Use copper conductors only. To size the cable, use the amperage of the burners given on Page 9, Section 3.3.1, for each individual zone. 3.3.6. Sensor Mounting The sensor measures the air temperature in the building. It is important that the sensor is located in an area within the heated zone at occupant level.
