How do I setup my ASM-1 Smart Manifold?

The setup of the ASM-1 smart manifold can be done with the following steps: Set up the IP configurations for the Netcom’s and the smart manifold (configuration page) Set up the pressure parameters on the Netcom’s and set them for large system operation Netcom...

Why is there a plug in port number 8?

Actually, there isn't a plug in port number 8, it is a bleed. If you examine it very closely you will notice that there is a small hole in the middle of it. This is used by the Smart Manifold to bleed off pressure if it senses that it is too high and during its...

Will the Smart Manifold monitor moisture?

No. The Smart Manifold monitors the pressure from each dehydrator and directs it to the appropriate port. Each of the dehydrators is responsible for monitoring its own moisture levels and dealing with it accordingly.

Why does the Smart Manifold keep shutting off my output port?

The Smart Manifold runs a series of tests at intervals you determine during the setup process in the test “Parameters and Control” page.  One of these is an output kill leak rate. If this rate is set too low or you develop a leak in the system you are feeding on that...

How can I test the snow sensor?

The APS-3C and APS-4C controllers utilize the CIT-1 aerial snow sensor, the GIT-1 gutter snow sensor and the SIT-6E pavement snow sensor to detect weather conditions. All three of the sensors work in the same way, they require a temperature below 38 °F (3.33 °C) and...

The controller is oscillating – How do I fix this?

Install a 100K Ohm resistor in-line with the Equipment Ground terminal (19). Disconnect Equipment Ground terminal (18). Grounding The EUR–5A sensor circuits and the EMC inputs are referenced to a common circuit ground. In most situations, this part of the system can...

What are the BEMC connections for?

BEMC stands for Building Energy Management Computer, which can be used to remotely monitor and control the EUR-5A controller. These connections are made to pins 10 through 16. The following diagram will aid in making these connections. See page 9 of EUR-5A manual....

Is there a way to make the system come on with temperature only?

The EUR-5A is designed to turn on and off, as the weather requires heat to deal with snow or icing conditions. Although a thermostatic dry contact switch can be used to override the system on for temperature alone, is not recommended since it will reduce the...

Why won’t the sensor turn on the system when it is snowing outside?

There can be several reasons for this. First start by checking the sensor supply voltage between pins 2 and 3 of the class two terminal blocks. It should be close to 24 VDC (the label on some unit incorrectly say 24VAC). If there is no voltage then check the fuse on...

Can I simulate a sensor call for heat to test the system?

Yes, to test the system by simulating a sensor call for heat, connect a short jumper wire between terminal block terminals 25 (sensor signal) and 24 (sensor ground). Now the Heat LED should turn on within 10 seconds and the control relay should close. If the Heat LED...
