ACH580 Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual 99
ACH580 E-Clipse Bypass
Install the control wiring
Connect control wiring to terminal block X1 on the ACH580 control board and to 
terminal block X2 on the E-Clipse Bypass control board. For more information on 
these connections, refer to the following:
• X1 terminal block location and terminal data are defined in the Installation 
instructions for the drive on page 40.
• X2 terminal block location is illustrated in the figures starting with Connection 
diagrams – Vertical E-Clipse Bypass on page 91.
• X2 terminal data are provided in Basic control connections for E-Clipse HVAC 
Default on page 108.
• Basic connections are described in the following paragraphs. Alternate 
configurations using the E-Clipse Bypass macro are described in the ACH580 
HVAC control program firmware manual.
• On Terminal Block X1 inside the ACH580, analog inputs and outputs and 
additional digital input and relay output connections (AI1, AI2, AO1, AO2, 
DI1…DI6 and RO1…RO6) are available for use.
Note: The E-Clipse Bypass control circuitry uses serial communications connections 
(X1:29…X1:31) inside the ACH580. These connections are not available for any 
other purpose and must not be reconfigured. 
Basic connections
The figure on page 108 shows the basic 
control connections for use with the 
E-Clipse Bypass HVAC Default macro. 
These connections are described in the 
following paragraphs.
In typical installations, only analog input 
wires connect to the ACH580 terminal 
block, with other control connections 
made on the E-Clipse Bypass control 
board.
Use wire ties to permanently affix control/
communications wiring to the hooked wire 
race tie points provided, maintaining a 
minimum 6 mm (1/4 in.) spacing from 
power wiring.
