LN Series Free Programmable LN-PRGxxx-12 Controllers Installation Instructions 1

Applications

The LN Series Free Programmable LN-PRGxxx-12

Controllers are microprocessor-based and designed to

control various building automation systems, such as

multi-zone air handing units, lighting control, central

plant applications, and power measurement

applications.

The LN Free Programmable Controllers are built on a

similar platform, but have different numbers of inputs

and outputs. The LN PRG6x0-12 controllers are

compatible with the LN Input/Output (I/O) Extension

Module 400 Series models. For more information on

LN I/O Extension Modules, refer to LN Series Input/

Output(I/O)ExtensionModulesInstallationInstructions

(LIT-12011693).

The LN Free Programmable Controllers use the

LONWORKS® communication protocol.

Follow these recommendations for proper installation

and subsequent operation of each controller:

• Inspect the controller for shipping damages. Do not

install damaged controllers.

• Keep the controller at room temperature for at least

24 hours prior to installation to allow any

condensation that may have accumulated during

shipping to evaporate.

• If the controller is used in a manner not specified

by Johnson Controls, the functionality and the

protection provided by the controller may become

impaired.

• Record the 12-digit Neuron® ID located on either

end of the device (shown on the sticker below the

barcode) for commissioning.

Note: The controller’s plastic enclosure has a

back plate that is separate from the front plate

allowing the back plates to be shipped directly to

the installation site while all the engineering is done

elsewhere.

Installation

Observe these guidelines when installing an LN Free

Programmable Controller:

• Transport the controller in the original container to

minimize vibration and shock damage.

• Verify that all parts shipped with the controller.

• Do not drop the controller or subject it to physical

shock.

IMPORTANT: Prevent any static electric discharge

to the controller. Static discharge can damage the

controller and void the warranties.

Mounting

Location Considerations

Observe these guidelines when mounting an LN Free

Programmable Controller:

• Allow for proper clearance around the controller’s

enclosure, wiring terminals, and service pin to

provide easy access for hardware configuration

and maintenance.

• Ensure proper ventilation of each controller and

avoid areas where corroding, deteriorating, or

explosive vapors, fumes, or gases may be present.

• Orient each controller with the ventilation slots and

power supply/output terminal block connector

towards the top to permit proper heat dissipation.

• Do not mount the controller on surfaces prone to

vibration, such as duct work, or in areas where

electromagnetic emissions from other devices or

wiring can interfere with controller communication.

You can mount each controller on a DIN rail, on a wall,

or in a panel. The controllers are equipped with two

mounting holes 0.25 x 0.165 in. (6.35 x 4.191 mm).

DIN Rail

To mount the controller on a DIN rail:

1. Ensure the DIN rail is properly mounted on the

wall.

2. Clip the controller onto the DIN rail.

Wall Mount

To mount the controller on a wall:

1. Press on the side clips to separate the controller’s

front and back plates.

2. Use the holes on the back plate to mark the wall

location.

3. Drill the holes.

Clean the surface and mount the controller using the

appropriate screws.

Wiring

Follow these wiring recommendations:

• Remove the front plate from the back plate to

facilitate in the wiring process. Use a small flat

screwdriver to tighten the terminal connector

screws once the wires are inserted.

• Keep power cables apart from other types of wiring

to avoid ambient noise transmission to other wires

(for example, for power, 3-wire voltage, and current

inputs and outputs).

• Use wires or flat cables ranging from 22 to 14 AWG

(0.644 to 1.630 mm diameter) per pole. Power

cables must remain between 18 to 14 AWG

(1.024 to 1.630 mm) diameter.

• Do not connect the universal inputs, analog/digital

outputs or common terminals to earth or chassis

ground unless otherwise stated.

• Keep all wires away from high speed data

transmission cables (for example, Ethernet cable).

• Keep input and output wires in conduits, trays, or

close to the building frame whenever possible.

CAUTION: Risk of Electric Shock.

Disconnect the power supply before

making electrical connections to avoid

electric shock.

LN Series Free Programmable LN-PRGxxx-12 Controllers Installation Instructions4

Power Wiring

We recommend wiring only one controller per 24 VAC

transformer. When only one transformer is available,

determine the maximum number of controllers that can

be supplied using the following method for calculating

the required power transformer capacity:

1. Add up the maximum power consumption of all

controllers, including external loads, and multiply

this sum by 1.3.

2. If the resulting number is higher than 100 VA, use

multiple transformers.

Use an external fuse on the 24 VAC/DC side

(secondary side) of the transformer to protect all

controllers against power link spikes (Figure 3 and

Figure 4).

Note: Connecting the power source to an electrical

system ground is not a requirement for proper system

operation. However, it is a good installation practice in

order to maintain the same potential between all

controllers and Protective Earth.

Configuration Jumper Location and

Identification

Controllers have the following onsite configurable

jumpers.

IMPORTANT: Voltage: 24 VAC/DC; +15%, Class 2.

This is a Class 2 Product. Use a Class 2 transformer

only (rated at 100 VA or less at 24 VAC) to power the

controller.

IMPORTANT: Maintain consistent polarity when

you connect the controllers and devices to the

transformer.

Figure 3: Power Wiring - DC

Figure 4: Power Wiring - AC

IMPORTANT: Connect the COM terminal of each

controller and each peripheral to the same terminal

on the secondary side of the transformer. One

terminal on the secondary side of the transformer

must be connected to the building’s ground. Failure

to maintain consistent polarity throughout the entire

network will result in a short circuit and damage to

the controller.

IMPORTANT: The COM terminals of the controller

are internally wired to the 24 V COM terminal of the

power supply. Connecting a peripheral or another

controller to the same transformer without

maintaining polarity between these devices will

cause a short circuit.

Input Wiring

The controllers have physical connections for inputs,

which are software configurable from within the

device’s Graphical Programming Interface (GPI) LN

plug-in, the LN plug-in when using LN Builder, or the

LN wizard when using the BSC Workbench. Each input

can be configured for digital, resistive, current, or

voltage signals. You must configure the input types

properly in the software plug-in or wizard to ensure

proper input readings.

Note: For wire length less than 75 feet (23 m), use

either a shielded or unshielded 18 AWG wire.

Note: For a wire up to 200 feet (61 m) long, a shielded

18 AWG wire is recommended.

Note: The wire should be shielded on the controller

side and the shield length should be kept as short as

possible.

Wiring Digital Inputs

Use this input configuration to monitor digital dry

contacts, as well as pulsed contacts.

Wiring Resistive Inputs

Use this input configuration to monitor Resistance

Temperature Detectors (RTD); thermistors, such as

1,000 ohm RTDs to 10k ohm Type II and Type III

thermistors; and potentiometers, such as 10k ohm and

100k ohm.

Wiring Current Inputs

Current inputs have a range of 0 to 20 mA. Depending

on the transducer power requirements, you may use

any of the following input configurations. Use Figure 12

for the 2-wire, 0 to 20 mA transducer powered by the

controller’s internal 15 VDC power supply.

Use the Figure 13 configuration for a 2-wire, 0 to 20

mA transducer powered by an external 24 AC/DC

power supply.

Use the Figure 14 configuration for a 3-wire, 0 to 20

mA transducer powered by an external 24 AC/DC

power supply.

Use the Figure 15 configuration for a transducer

For the LN-PRG300-12, LN-PRG4x0-12, and

LN-PRG6x0-12 controllers, it is not necessary to

connect a 249 ohm resistor at the input as this resistor

is built-in to the controller. For these models, configure

the input jumper as follows. For jumper location, see

Configuration Jumper Location and Identification.

Wiring Voltage Inputs

Voltage inputs have a range of 0 to 10 VDC or

0 to 5 VDC. Connect the voltage input according to

Figure 17 if you are using a 3-wire 0 to 10 V or 0 to 5 V

transducer.

Connect the voltage input according to Figure 18 if the

transducer is powered by its own power source.

Wiring Pulse Inputs

The input must be wired according to the requirements

of the connected pulse meter (for example, fast pulse

or slow pulse and internal or external supply type). See

Table 1.

Configure the Pulse Input Types in the software to

verify the pulse meter is powered correctly (set the

Internal/External Supply Type).

Connect the pulse input according to Figure 19 for a

pulse meter that can pull down a +5 VDC supply with a

10k ohm pull-up resistor (internal supply type).

When you use a pulse meter that requires more than

5 VDC to operate, you must use a Fast Pulse Input

type (Table 1). An external power supply is required to

operate the pulse meter. You may use the controller’s

built-in power supply as shown in Figure 20 or use an

external power source (from 6 VDC to 27 VDC

maximum — see Figure 21).

LN Series Communicating Sensors Wiring

The LN Communicating Sensors (LN-SVSEN-0 and

LN-SVSENH-0) are communicating room temperature

sensors with backlit displays and graphical menus.

Connect the LN-SVSENx-0 Sensor to the SUBNET

PORT modular connector of the controller with a

standard Category 5e Ethernet patch cable fitted with

RJ-45 connectors.

If you make your own patch cable, use category 5e

crimped with RJ-45 connectors either T568A or T568B.

Patch cable fitted with connectors supplied by Johnson

Controls are wired as T568B.

For more information on network topology and length,

cable type, setting the Subnet ID and more, refer to the

LN Series Communicating Sensors Installation

Instructions (LIT-12011795) and the LONWORKS

LN-Series Network Communication and Interface

Guide Technical Bulletin (LIT-12011253).

Output Wiring

Each controller has physical connections for digital

(triac) or universal outputs, depending on type and

model. These outputs are all software configurable.

Table 3 shows the controller outputs.

For jumper location, see Configuration Jumper

Location and Identification.

Note: Before you connect output equipment to the

controller, refer to the installation instructions from the

equipment manufacturer.

IMPORTANT: Do not crimp one connector as

T568A and the other connector as T568B on the

same cable.

Output Wiring Recommendations

Output wiring recommendations include:

• For a wire length less than 75 feet (23 m) long, use

either a shielded or unshielded 18 AWG wire.

• For a wire length up to 200 feet (61 m) long, use a

shielded 18 AWG wire.

• The shield of the wire should be grounded on the

controller side and the shield length should be kept

as short as possible.

Wiring Digital Outputs (DOx)

Digital outputs are all made of triacs and there is not

voltage present on the output terminals. Therefore, you

must add an external power source, typically 24 VAC.

Note: To measure the state of a triac output, an

external load must be connected.

If a 24 VAC relay is being controlled, connect it to a

digital output according to Figure 24 or Figure 25,

ensuring that the transformer’s secondary wiring is

grounded as shown.

If a floating actuator is being controlled, connect the

digital output according to Figure 26.

Wiring Universal Outputs (UOx)

You can configure universal outputs to provide either a

discrete signal of 0 or 12 VDC, a linear signal ranging

from 0 to 10 VDC, or a 0 to 20 mA signal

(LN-PRG300-12, LN-PRG4x0-12 and LN-PRG6x0-12

only). The discrete signal can be used to generate a

pulse wave modulation (PWM) signal or a simple

two-state signal. These outputs are protected by an

auto-reset fuse.

Wiring Discrete Outputs

If a 12 VDC relay is being controlled, connect it to a

universal output according to Figure 27.

Wiring Current Outputs

The 0 to 20 mA signal is configurable by jumper

(available for LN-PRG300-12, LN-PRG4x0-12, and

LN-PRG6x0-12 only; for jumper location, see

Configuration Jumper Location and Identification).
