Pioneer Gold 3.00 Controller Technical Guide
General
Correct wiring of the Pioneer Gold Controller and its Electric
Heat Board, if applicable, is the most important factor in the
overall success of the controller installation process. In general,
most Pioneer Gold Controllers are factory installed and wired
at the AAON
®
factory. Some of the following information may
not apply to your installation if it was pre-wired at the factory.
However, if troubleshooting of the controller is required, it is a
good idea to be familiar with the system wiring.
The Pioneer Gold Controller dimensions are 8” x 5.5”. The
Electric Heat Board dimensions are 3.5” x 3.5”.
Electrical and Environmental
Requirements
The Pioneer Gold Controller and Electric Heat Board must be
connected to a 24 VAC power source of the proper size for the
calculated VA load requirements. All transformer sizing should
be based on the VA rating listed in Table 1-2 and 1-3, this page.
NOTE: If the temperature at the module is below -4ºF
(-20ºC), the display refresh rate could be less
responsive.

WARNING: When using a single transformer to power
more than one controller or electric heat
board, the correct polarity must always be
maintained between the boards. Failure
to observe correct polarity will result in
damage to the Pioneer Gold Controller and
Electric Heat Board.
