How to Install the 27XL-120-240R-MOD Controller

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing and wiring the 27XL-120-240R-MOD controller in hazardous locations.

Estimated time: 45m

Tools needed:

Screwdriver, Wire strippers, Multimeter

Supplies needed:

Mounting screws, Terminal connectors, Corrosion-inhibiting grease

  1. Prepare the mounting location

    Ensure that the mounting surface is clean and suitable for the installation of the controller. Select a vertical orientation with the dome facing down.

  2. Mount the controller

    Thread the pendant mount onto a 3/4 inch N.P.T. pipe and secure it with the set screw. Ensure the mount is tight and stable.

  3. Connect the wiring

    Disconnect power before proceeding. Connect the supply wires to the terminal block marked 'L+' and 'N-'. If required, connect the earth ground wire to the green screw in the fixture mount.

  4. Secure the terminal block

    Replace the terminal block in the pendant mount and secure it with the previously loosened mounting screws.

  5. Lubricate the threads

    Apply corrosion-inhibiting grease to the threads of the pendant mount to prevent galling and ease future maintenance.
