IntelliVAC Plus Basic Wiring

1503-UM054C-EN-P – June 2013

When configured for basic control the IntelliVAC Plus can be

applied with two- or three-wire control circuits. The control system

utilized will determine the configuration of the input wiring.

Consider the following input and output for the type of control used:

• Terminals 9 and 10 – Close Contactor/ IB-Input1

• Terminals 15 and 16 – Contactor Status


In either case, the CLOSE input must receive a maintained voltage

high to keep the contactor closed.

Notes:
1. When used with electrically held contactors, the IntelliVAC

allows close commands every six seconds. This is to ensure the

rated contactor duty cycle is not exceeded.

2. If the IntelliVAC powers up configured for an electrically held

contactor, and the vacuum contactor is detected as being closed,

the module will not respond to a close command until the vacuum

contactor auxiliary contact input is in the correct (closed) state

and module power is removed and re-applied.

3. In general, a Close command should only be applied 4 seconds

after energizing IntelliVAC.

Two-Wire Control

If using two-wire control, the CLOSE/ IB input 1 contactor input is

maintained high using a single contact. Momentarily opening this

input will cause the IntelliVAC to open the contactor. Maintaining

the contact will provide a CLOSE command to IntelliVAC (given

that all permissives are satisfied). If a fault occurs, in addition to

cycling control power to the IntelliVAC module, the CLOSE

command must be removed for a minimum of 4 seconds, before

being re-applied. Refer to Figure 5.3.

Some two-wire control schemes may be configured such that a close

command is present when IntelliVAC is energized. In this case, the

Power-Up Safety feature may be disabled by setting DIP switch 12

accordingly. Refer to Table 8.F.

Only disable the Power-Up safety feature

when absolutely necessary. Doing so can

create unsafe operating conditions.
