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) Extension Modules Installation Instructions
(LIT-12011693).
The LN Free Programmable Controllers use the
L
ONWORKS® communication protocol.
Follow these recommendations for proper installation
and subsequent operation of each controller:
Inspect the controller for shipping damages. Do no
t
ins
tall damaged controllers.
Keep the controller at room temperature for at leas
t
2
4 hours prior to installation to allow an
y
con
densation that may have accumulated during
shipping to evaporate.
If the controller is used in a manner not specifie
d
by
Johnson Controls, the functionality and th
e
pr
otection 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 th
e
b
arcode) 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 ins
tallation 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 ph
ysical
shock.
IMPO
RTANT: Prevent any static electric discharge
to the controller. Static discharge can damage the
controller and void the warranties.

    What to do if number of devices on network segment exceeded on Johnson Controls Controller?
    • J
      Jacqueline TorresAug 31, 2025
      If the number of devices on the network segment has been exceeded on your Johnson Controls Controller, remember that the number of controllers on a channel should never exceed 64. Use a router or a repeater in accordance with LONWORKS LN-Series Network Communications and Interface Guide Technical Bulletin (LIT-1201253) or Junction Box and Wiring Guideline for Twisted Pair LONWORKS Networks.

    Why is the hardware input not reading the correct value on my Johnson Controls LN?
    • J
      Jonathan WellsSep 10, 2025
      If the hardware input on your Johnson Controls Controller isn't reading the correct value, it could be due to a few reasons. First, check that the wiring is correct according to this manual and the peripheral device’s manufacturer instructions. Second, use a voltmeter to check the voltage on the input terminal, looking for a short circuit (0 V) or an open circuit (10 V). Lastly, use a device configuration plug-in or wizard to check the configuration of the input, referring to the device’s user guide for additional information.

    How to fix a Johnson Controls LN Controller damper that is not opening or closing properly?
    • D
      Dominique HensonSep 12, 2025
      If the damper connected to your Johnson Controls Controller isn't opening or closing properly, check the following: The two mechanical stops must be positioned to stop the damper motion when it is completely closed and completely opened. The mechanical stops can be moved by increments of 5°. Also, ensure the external damper drive time is set to the correct value (in the plug-in or wizard). Complete the calibration process in LN-Builder 3, and set the Override OFF in the object manage screen in LN-Builder 3.

    What causes a flow sensor to give improper readings on a Johnson Controls LN?
    • T
      turnerstevenSep 12, 2025
      If the flow sensor on your Johnson Controls Controller is not giving proper readings, it could be due to a tubing connection problem. Verify the tubing is installed properly and that the tubing is not bent. Ensure the high and low pressure sensors are not inverted. Alternatively, the device may not be calibrated properly, so recalibrate the VAV controller, referring to the controller user guide for more information about VAV controller calibration.
