Operation 

 

WARNING

Shock Hazard.

  

Disconnect all power supplies to the 
Commissioning Tool and actuator or control 
device before wiring to avoid possible 
electrical shock or equipment damage.  

 

Powering Commissioning Tool 

 

CAUTION

Equipment Damage Hazard. 

Contact with water may result in damage to 
the Commissioning Tool. 

 
1.

 

Apply 24 Vac (nominal) power from a remote 
transformer or controller to Terminals 8 (COM) 
and 9 (24 Vac) of the INPUTS terminal block on 
the Commissioning Tool.  
 
Or connect the plug-in 24 Vac transformer 
(provided) to the power jack located on the 
bottom of the Commissioning Tool (

Figure 4

).  

 

Figure 4.  Applying Power to the Commissioning Tool.  

 
2.

 

Turn the Commissioning Tool power switch, 
located on the lower left side, to the ON 
position. The green LED at the bottom left 
corner of the Commissioning Tool lights, 
indicating that the Commissioning Tool is 
powered. 

 

 

CAUTION

Equipment Damage Hazard. 

This device is only 24 Vac nominal. Applying 
higher voltages could damage the device.  

 

Powering a Non-externally Powered 
Actuator or Control Device 

 

CAUTION

Equipment Damage Hazard. 

Controlled equipment loading from Terminals 1 
and 2 must be limited to 25 VA maximum. 

 

NOTE:

 

For 115-230 Vac actuators, the 
Commissioning Tool can be used to 
provide signal, but must be externally 
powered.  

1.

 

To provide a 24 Vac (nominal) power signal, 
connect Terminals 1 (24 Vac) and 2 (COM) of 
the OUTPUTS terminal block on the 
Commissioning Tool to the supply input 
connections of the actuator or device being 
powered (

Figure 5

).  

NOTE:

 

The output signal at Terminals 1 (24 Vac) 
and 2 (COM) is equivalent to the input 
signal that powers the Commissioning 
Tool.  

 

Figure 5.  Connecting External Power to an Actuator 

or Control Device.  

 

Resistive Mode (

 

CAUTION

Equipment Damage Hazard. 

Use the Commissioning Tool Resistive Mode 
with only solid-state actuators and control 

devices. Use with electromechanical devices 
will cause damage to the Commissioning Tool. 

 
The resistive mode can be used with or without 
power supplied to the Commissioning Tool. When 
power is not supplied to the Commissioning Tool, 
the resistive mode is active. When power is initially 
supplied to the Commissioning Tool, it defaults to 
the resistive mode.
