power supplies other than those specified may seriously damage the system;
use a Class 2 safety transformer, rated to 50 VA in the installation to supply just one pCO3, pCO1 and pCOC controller; for pCOXS controller is used a same
transformer of 25VA.
separate the power supply to the pCO controller and the terminal (or multiple pCO controllers and terminals) from the power supply to the other electrical
devices (contactors and other electromechanical components) inside the electrical panel;
if the power transformer secondary is earthed, check that the earth wire is connected to terminal G0; this must be followed for all devices connected to the pCO;
if more than one pCO board is connected in pLAN network, make sure that G and G0 are always connected in the same way (G0 must be the reference for

a yellow LED indicates when the pCO is powered.
4.3 Connecting the analogue inputs
The analogue inputs on the pCO can be configured for the most commonly used sensors on the market: NTC, PT1000, 0 to 1 V, 0 to 5 V ratiometric, 0 to 10 V, 0 to 20 mA,
4 to 20 mA. The type of sensor can be selected by setting a parameter on the user terminal (if featured by the application program) and from hardware selection for

Connecting active temperature and humidity probes
The pCO can be connected to all CAREL AS*2 series active temperature and humidity probes configured with 0 to 1 V or 4 to 20 mA signals.
For the temperature probes, use the 4 to 20 mA or NTC configuration, as the 0/1 Vdc signal is limited to the restricted 0-1 V range and therefore is not always
compatible with the standard 10 mV/°C signal of the CAREL probes (for temperatures below 0°C and above 100°C, a probe alarm may be generated).
The inputs must be configured for 0 to 1 V or 4 to 20 mA signals by the application program resident in flash memory.

Warning:
Warning: Warning:
Warning: the two NTC probe wires are equivalent, as there is no polarity, therefore no special order needs to be followed when connecting to the terminal block.
