COMFORTPOINT PROGRAMMABLE LON, VAV/UNITARY CONTROLLERS
62-0288—03 6
Wiring
All wiring must comply with applicable electrical codes and 
ordinances, or as specified on installation wiring diagrams. 
Controller wiring is terminated to the screw terminal blocks 
located on the top and the bottom of the device.
Electrical Shock Hazard.
Can cause severe injury, death or property 
damage.
Disconnect power supply before beginning wiring or 
making wiring connections, to prevent electrical shock 
or equipment damage.
NOTES:
— For multiple controllers operating from a single 
transformer, the same side of the transformer 
secondary must be connected to the same power 
input terminal in each controller. Controller 
configurations will not necessarily be limited to 
three devices, but the total power draw, including 
accessories, cannot exceed 100 VA when 
powered by the same transformer (U.S. only). For 
power and wiring recommendations, see “Wiring”. 
The earth ground terminal (terminal 3) must be 
connected to a verified earth ground for each 
controller in the group (see Fig. 12 on page 7).
— All loads on the controller must be powered by the 
same transformer that powers the controller itself. 
A controller can use separate transformers for 
controller power and output power.
— Keep the earth ground connection (terminal 3) 
wire run as short as possible.
— Do not connect the universal input COM termi-
nals, analog output COM terminals or the digital 
input/output COM terminals to earth ground. 
Refer to Fig. 10–Fig. 12 for wiring examples.
The 24 Vac power from an energy limited Class II power 
source must be provided to the controller. To conform to Class 
II restrictions (U.S. only), the transformer must not be larger 
than 100 VA. 
Fig. 10 depicts a single controller using one transformer.
IMPORTANT
Power must be off prior to connecting to or removing 
connections from the 24 Vac power (24 Vac/24 Vac 
COM), earth ground (EGND), and 20 Vdc power (20 
Vdc) terminals..
IMPORTANT
Use the heaviest gauge wire available, up to 
14 AWG (2.0 sq mm), with a minimum of 18 AWG 
(1.0 sq mm), for all power and earth ground wiring.
Screw-type terminal blocks are designed to accept 
up to one 14 AWG (2.0 sq mm) conductor or up to 
two 18 AWG (1.0 sq mm) conductors. More than two 
wires that are 18 AWG (2.0 sq mm) can be con-
nected with a wire nut. Include a pigtail with this wire 
group and attach the pigtail to the terminal block.
IMPORTANT
If the controller is used on Heating and Cooling 
Equipment (UL 1995, U.S. only) and the 
transformer primary power is more than 150 volts, 
connect terminal 2, (the 24 Vac common [24 VAC 
COM] terminal) to earth ground (see Fig. 11). For 
these applications, only one controller can be 
powered by each transformer.
NOTES:
— Unswitched 24 Vac power wiring can be run in the 
same conduit as the L
ONWORKS® cable.
— Maintain at least a 3 in. (7.6 cm) separation 
between Triac outputs and L
ONWORKS® wiring 
throughout the installation.

per transformer.
Fig. 11. Transformer power wiring details for one 
controller used in UL 1995 equipment (U.S. only).
More than one controller can be powered by a single 
transformer. Fig. 12 shows power wiring details for multiple 
controllers.
