3. INSTALLATION

3.1 Assembly and installation instructions.

Carel pAD - Assembly and installation instructions. - 1

Disconnect the power supply before working on the device during assembly, maintenance and replacement.

The spacing of the mounting holes is designed so that the device can be fitted to a flush-mounted sockets, compliant with standards CEI C.451 - IEC 670. If a socket is not available, use the mounting holes on the shell as a template for drilling the wall, and then use the screws and wall plugs supplied.

The connection cables must run through the hole in the centre of the rear shell of the device, and must be fastened to the terminals on the shell.

Carel pAD - Assembly and installation instructions. - 2
Inside view of the rear shell

To access the connection terminals, release the rear shell by levering the locking tab. The device must be flipped open, with the "hinge" at the top of the instrument and lifting the bottom. When closing, make sure that the pins on the board are inserted into the corresponding terminals, and that the cables do not get in the way.

Bottom view

Carel pAD - Assembly and installation instructions. - 4

Adopt precautions against electrostatic discharges when handling the board. Do not touch or nearly touch the electronic components on the boards to avoid electrostatic discharges from the person handling the board to the components.

3.2 Power supply connections

Carel pAD - Power supply connections - 1

Observe the following warnings:

The power supply terminals on the device are marked G and G0. The connection is made using 2-pin screw terminals fastened to the rear shell of the instrument. Use cables with a cross-section from 0.5 to 1.5mm^2
A dedicated 250 mAT fuse must be installed externally, between the power supply and terminal G;
use a class 2 safety transformer with a minimum rating of 4 VA.
If the transformer or power supply used for the device is the same used for the controllers connected in the serial line, then terminal GO on the pAD must be connected to the GO line of the controllers.

Important: if a terminal of the power supply needs to be earthed, use terminal GO (and NOT terminal G), both on the pAD the other powered devices.
- When pAD has a DC power supply, the controllers connected via the serial interface must also have a DC power supply. If the controllers connected do not allow DC power, (see the manual for the controllers) then the pAD cannot have a DC power supply.
The power supply or the power transformer used must guarantee double or reinforced insulation between the high voltage mains and the terminal.

3.3 Serial interface

pAD uses an RS485 serial interface for communication with the controllers, via 3-pin plug-in terminals. Use a shielded twisted pair cable, AWG20-22, with the total length of the network not exceeding 500m . The capacitance between the wires must not be greater than 90~pF / m

Carel pAD - Serial interface - 1

To reach the maximum length, use a bus layout with branches that do not 5 m.

Further limits to the length may be required in environments with considerable electrical disturbance. See the controller manual to determine the connections.

Protocols supported:

pLAN protocol via RS485. The pLAN network is made up of a series of controllers and terminals that interact with each other, exchanging variables and information. The physical limit is 32 units, with a maximum of 30 pAD devices.
- Carel / Modbus via RS485 (in the models where available)

3.4 Installation warnings

Avoid installing the boards in environments with the following characteristics:

relative humidity greater than the value specified;

  • strong vibrations or knocks;

exposure to water sprays;

  • exposure to aggressive and polluting atmospheres(e.g.: sulphur and ammonia fumes, saline mist, smoke) so as to avoid corrosion and/or oxidation;

  • strong magnetic and/or radio frequency interference (for example, near transmitting antennae);

  • exposure to direct sunlight or the elements in general;

  • large and rapid fluctuations in the room temperature;
  • environments where explosives or mixes of flammable gases are present;
  • exposure to dust (formation of corrosive patina with possible oxidation and reduction of insulation).

Carel pAD - Installation warnings - 1

Further information

  1. A power supply other than the one specified may seriously damage the system.
  2. Important: if the device is used in a way that is not specified by the manufacturer, the protection of the device may be compromised.
  3. Use cable ends suitable for the corresponding terminals. Loosen each screw and insert the cable ends, then tighten the screws. When the operation is completed, slightly tug the cables to check they are sufficiently tight.
  4. To clean the display use a soft cloth. Do not use water.
  5. Operation at particularly low temperatures may cause a visible decline in the response speed of the display. This should be considered normal and does not indicate a malfunction.
  6. The terminal must be fastened to the wall in such a way as to allow the recirculation of air through the slits on the rear shell. Avoid places where the room temperature measurement may be altered, for example outside walls, near doors leading to the outside or in direct sunlight.
  7. Separate the cables running to the device from cables that supply inductive loads and power cables, so as to avoid possible electromagnetic disturbance. Never use the same conduits for the power cables (including other electrical cables) and serial communication cables. Do not install the communication cables in the immediate vicinity of power devices (contactors, circuit breakers or similar).

4. CONFIGURATION AND STARTING

When started, the pAD, after having completed the initialisation procedure, shows

6. LIST OF ALARMS

The settings/descriptions of the following functions may change depending on the application program running on the controller that the terminal is connected to.

If an alarm situation occurs during operation, the terminal will show the symbol flashing and, alternating with the normal display, the alarm code every 2 seconds. The meaning of the codes is shown below:

AlarmMeaning
Alr * Activealarm on the controller. Shown while the alarm is active
oLn Offlineno communication between the device and the pLAN network
AtETemperature alarm: internal temperature sensor fault or sensor missing
AhuHumidity alarm: internal humidity sensor fault or sensor missing
  • This is the default string. The pAD shows the string sent by the controller, if the latter requires, using the corresponding variable (this depends on the application running on the controller).
