SPYDER MODEL 7 VAV CONTROLLER  INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

POWER SUPPLY
General Information
To prevent a risk of injury due to electrical shock and/or 
damage to the device due to short-circuiting, low-
voltage and high-voltage lines must be kept physically 
separate. To prevent a risk of short-circuiting and 
damage to your Spyder Model 7, do not reverse the 
polarity of the power connection cables and avoid 
ground loops (connecting one field device to several 
controllers).
Before wiring the controller, determine the input and 
output device requirements for each controller used in 
the system. Select input and output devices compatible 
with the controller and the application. Consider the 
operating range, wiring requirements, and 
environmental conditions while selecting input and 
output devices. 
Determine the location of controllers, sensors, 
actuators, other input and output devices, and create 
wiring diagrams for illustrations of typical controller 
wiring for various configurations.
The application engineer must review the control job 
requirements. This includes the sequences of operation 
for the controller and the system as a whole. Usually, 
some variables must be passed between the controllers 
that are required for optimum system-wide operation. 
Typical examples are the TOD, occupied, unoccupied, 
outdoor air temperature, and demand limit control 
signal. Understanding these interrelationships early in 
the job engineering process is vital for proper 
implementation while configuring the controllers.
NOTE:
All wiring must comply with applicable electrical 
codes and ordinances. Refer to job or manufac-
turers’ drawings for details. Local wiring guide-
lines (for example, IEC 364-6-61 or VDE 0100) 
may take precedence over recommendations pro-
vide in these installation instructions. 
To comply with CE requirements, devices having a  
voltage of 50-1000 VAC or 75-1500 VDC, but  
lacking a supply cord, plug, or other means for 
disconnecting from the power supply must have 
the means of disconnect incorporated in the fixed 
wiring. This type of disconnect must have a con-
tact separation of at least 1/8 in. (3 mm) at all 
poles.
Power 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 device. 
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.
NOTE:
A single transformer can power more than one 
controller. The same side of the transformer 
secondary must be connected to the same power 
input terminal on each controller. Fig. 14 on page 
15 shows the power wiring details for multiple 
controllers. Controller and configuration are not 
necessarily limited to three devices, but the total 
power draw, including accessories, cannot exceed 
100 VA when powered by the same transformer 
(U.S. only). 
NOTE:
Power must be off prior to connecting or removing 
connections from the 24 VAC power (24 V~ / 24 
V0), and 20 VDC power terminals.
Use the heaviest gauge wire available, up to 18 
AWG (1 mm
2
), with a minimum of 22 AWG (0.3 
mm
2
), for all power wiring.
IMPORTANT:
When connecting power, ensure that one leg of 
the 24 VAC secondary circuit and the grounded 
terminal on the device are connected to a known 
earth ground at the panel or enclosure. Limit the 
distance of the power wire run between the device 
and the transformer to 15 ft. (4.5 m and restricted 
for same room installation).
