module. It is not supported by the Executive Controller (EC) or
Executive Processor (EP-1010 or EP/2).
Mounting the
MINio
The MINio is designed to be mounted in a control compartment
using two horizontal rows 5 1/2 inches apart and three columns 4
inches and 3 1/2 inches apart as viewed left to right. See Figure 2.
It can also be mounted in an optional enclosure outside the control
panel (for example, on the wall of a mechanical room).

Part #737200000
CAUTION!
The following precautions should be taken during installation:
All outside connections to the MINio are made through use of five
and six-terminal, removable, Euro-style, 5mm connectors which are
arranged in groupings of universal inputs, digital inputs, analog
outputs, communications, power, and relay outputs for convenience
of installation. The connectors accept 12 AWG to 24 AWG solid or
stranded wires.

For each of the six universal inputs, a jumper must be configured properly on the board.
The inputs, located on the lower left side of the circuit board, each have four pins. The
universal inputs should be configured as follows to match the type of sensor being used.

Wiring Sensors
Universal
Inputs
Table 10 4mA-to-20mA Sensors
Step Procedure
1 Connect the sensor’s positive (+) to the source terminal.
2 Connect the sensor’s negative (–) to the input terminal.
Step Procedure
1 Connect the power wire (usually red) to the source terminal.
2 Connect the ground wire (usually black) to the GND terminal.
Connect the signal wire (usually white) to the input terminal of the MINio
3
input.
NOTE!
0V-to-10VDC sensors cannot consume more than 20mA from
each source terminal.
.Step Procedure
1 Connect one side to the source terminal.
2 Connect the other side to the input terminal.
Table 13
Step Procedure
1 Connect one side to the Input terminal.
2 Connect the other side to the GND terminal.
Digital Inputs
There are two dedicated digital inputs on the MINio. Both inputs
provide 5mA of contact wetting current and share a common
ground terminal (see Figure 3 and Figure 4). The digital inputs can
be dry contact sensors, pulse meters, or momentary push buttons for
performing schedule timed overrides.
MINIO_INS 5/22/2012
For the latest technical documentation, visit www.novar.com/manuals 14
Part #737200000
CAUTION!
Both dedicated digital inputs are to be used with dry contact
only (no external voltage applied) digital inputs.
NOTE!
In the ESS32 software, these are MINio inputs 7 and 8.
Step Procedure
1 Connect the first digital input to terminals 19 and 20.
2 Connect the second digital input to terminals 20 and 21.
NOTE!
When a MINio input is defined as a timed override, there is no
LED on the Novar Universal Override Panel push button.

Supplying the
MINio with Power
The MINio requires 24VAC power with a consumption rating of
10VA. The 24VAC should be connected to terminals 28 and 29 (see
Figure 3 and Figure 4).
Analog Outputs
There are two analog outputs on the MINio. Both outputs source a
0V to +10VDC control signal with a maximum load current of
5mA. Both outputs share a common ground (see Figure 3 and
Figure 4 ).
Table 16
Step Procedure
1 Connect the first analog load to Terminals 22 (signal) and 23 (ground).
2 Connect the second analog load to Terminals 23 (ground) and 24 (signal).
Communications
The network communications cable (Belden 8761, Novar WIR-
1010, or equivalent) should be connected to Terminals 25 (A), 26
(shield), and 27 (B). To use the cable shield effectively, only ground
the communication cable shield conductor at one end, preferably at
the Opus XCM or Logic One Executive Controller end of the
network segment. Connect the shield to each device’s shield
terminal, which is not ground. See Figure 5 showing an XCM20
system.

Setting the
Address
The address switches are located at the top of the MINio. Address
switches 1 through 6 are used to configure the MINio’s address,
which must match the address assigned to it by the OPUS/ESS32
software. The address switches should be set as shown in Figure 9
to correspond to the software assignments.
NOTE!
Set Switch #7 to the ON position to set the baud rate for 9600.
Do not change this unless there is some problem that requires
baud rate 1747 (Switch 7 = OFF). If this is the case, the baud
rate must also be changed in OPUS/ESS32 to match.
Checking the
Installation
Once the MINio has been installed, the following light-emitting
diodes (LEDs) should be checked to ensure proper operation.

Relay Status
Located along the right side of the MINio are six relay status LEDs.
They indicate the status of the relay coil. When the relay coil is
energized, the LED will be on.
