SECTION 1: INTRODUCTION  
1.1 What is ROBERTS GORDON® ULTRAVAC™?  
1.4 Check Installation Materials  
1.4.1 Switchable Loads  
The ROBERTS GORDON® ULTRAVAC™ is a micro-  
processor based control package designed for  
modulating control of CORAYVAC® heaters based on  
outdoor temperatures.  
The controller relays are rated for switching loads no  
greater than 3 A. The total added current load for all  
8 relays must not exceed 25 A.  
This controller is capable of giving control outputs to  
one vacuum pump and three heating zones. The  
controller also features inputs which are used for  
indoor and outdoor signal condition monitoring.  
1.4.2 Control Wiring  
Shielded cable (four twisted pairs of stranded 24  
AWG minimum wire) is required for use with  
indoor sensors.  
System status and settings are viewed and altered  
from a PC (not supplied) running  
Shielded cable (one twisted pair of stranded 22  
AWG minimum wire) is required for the outdoor  
air sensor, VFD signal wiring, pressure switch  
and wiring from controller #1 to the PC.  
ROBERTS GORDON® ULTRAVAC™ Software.  
1.2 CORAYVAC® Design Requirements  
CORAYVAC® burners shall be CRV B-6, B-8, B-9,  
B-10 or B-12 burners.  
Shielded cable (one twisted triad of stranded 22  
AWG minimum wire) is required for RS-485  
communications between controllers.  
1.4.3 Control Board and Sensor Power  
CORAYVAC® systems designed shall have  
minimum radiant pipe length and 1.5 - 2.0 feet per  
flow unit of tailpipe length.  
The power supply for all sensors is from the “+32 V”  
terminal to be found on the board of the controller.  
Power for the control board is 24 V provided by the  
relay board.  
-OR-  
CORAYVAC® systems designed shall have  
recommended radiant pipe length and 1.2 - 1.5 feet  
per flow unit of tailpipe length. See the CORAYVAC®  
Design Manual (P/N 127500NA) for minimum and  
recommended radiant pipe length.  
1.4.4 Programming Details  
Every controller is pre-programmed for one pump  
and up to three heating zones. Use a site  
layout drawing to identify the heating zones.  
1.3 General Requirements  
The ROBERTS GORDON® ULTRAVAC™ series of  
controllers are supplied pre-configured for use with  
ROBERTS GORDON® CORAYVAC® infrared heating  
equipment only. Failure to comply with the installation  
instructions and configuration may invalidate the  
ROBERTS GORDON® ULTRAVAC™ limited war-  
ranty. See Page 41, Section 10.  
ROBERTS GORDON® ULTRAVAC™ Software  
requires a PC (not supplied) running Windows® 95 or  
higher, with a Pentium® class processor and at least  
64k of RAM.  
The controller, variable frequency drive, burners,  
pump and outside air blower must be electrically  
grounded in accordance with the National Electrical  
Code® ANSI/NFPA 70 - latest revision.  
Before proceeding with the installation of the control-  
ler, it will be necessary to check that the following  
points have been considered.

sources because these locations usually have  
unpredictable temperature rises.  
WARNING  
Note that the maximum distance from the controller  
to any sensor is 300' (120 m). For longer distances,  
larger gauge wire may be needed (Consult your local  
distributor). For multiple controllers, maximum length  
of communication wire from the first controller to the  
last is 4000' (1219 m).  
Severe Injury Hazard  
Mount controls with  
materials with a minimum  
working load of 75 lbs  
(33 kg).  
3.2.2 Position the controller and VFD at occupant  
level for ease of service. To avoid electrical  
interferences with communications bus, do not  
mount VFD directly next to controller. Allow 2'  
(.6 m) minimum between controller and VFD.  
Failure to follow these  
instructions can result in  
death, injury or property  
damage.  
FIGURE 4: Controller Mounting  
Installation of the ROBERTS GORDON®  
ULTRAVAC™ Controller and the associated external  
electrical wiring must be done by an electrician  
qualified in the installation of control systems for  
heating equipment.  
(Standard enclosure only, NEMA 4 enclosure mount-  
ing varies)  
3.1 Preparation  
Before installing the controller, observe the following:  
3.1.1 Ensure that you have a copy of the site layout  
for the project that clearly identifies the separate  
zones.  
16.25"  
(41.3 cm)  
3.1.2 Familiarize yourself with the Controller and Vari-  
able Frequency Drive component names and loca-  
tions. See Page 8, Figure 2 and Page 10, Figure 3.  
3.2 Positioning the ROBERTS GORDON®  
ULTRAVAC™ Controller and Variable Frequency  
Drive  
13" (33 cm)  
3.2.1 Choose a mounting location for the controller.  
Generally near the pump, a dedicated phone con-  
nection (optional) and the variable frequency drive.  
For serviceability, it is convenient to mount the con-  
troller and variable frequency drive at occupant level  
in the vicinity of the pump.  
Do not mount controller or VFD outdoors. VFD  
must not be installed where subjected to adverse  
conditions such as: combustible, oily, or hazard-  
ous vapors or dust; excessive moisture or dirt;  
vibration. To avoid damage from possible drips,  
do not mount controller or VFD directly beneath  
pump. Models with NEMA 4 rated enclosures will  
withstand exposure to dust, dirt and water.  
VFD should be mounted in locations where the  
maximum ambient temperature does not exceed  
104°F (40°C). Avoid installing the VFD in mezza-  
nines, direct sunlight, or near external heat

conduit. Electrical signal interference or induced  
current could occur and cause communication  
problems.  
VFD (0-10 V) control wiring and all RS-485 com-  
munication wiring must be shielded. Shielded wire  
provides noise and interference isolation and  
reduces the possibility of communication problems.  
Pressure switch wiring is not required to be  
shielded. If electrical interference from machinery or  
other sources cannot be avoided, shielded wire must  
be used. All control cable specification diagrams  
shown will refer to shielded cable.

The 0-10 V signal from the ULTRAVAC™ controller  
enclosure wired into VFD input relays 5 and 2 (see  
Page 16, Figure 11 through Page 18, Figure 12) will  
dictate the speed of the pump. The VFD output sup-  
ply to the pump is 230 V 3 Ø 0-60 Hz for 115 V and  
230 V models and is 460 V, 3 Ø, 0-60 Hz for 460 V  
models. The frequency of the output supply signal to  
the pump will be varied based on the 0-10 V signal  
from the control

enclosure. See Page 11, Section 3.2 for additional  
installation requirements.  
Disconnect electrical before servicing.  
FIGURE 7: Variable Frequency Drive Mounting  
This appliance must be connected to a  
properly grounded electrical source.  
(Standard enclosures only, NEMA 4 enclosure  
mounting varies by model)  
Replace cover before operating.  
Failure to follow these instructions can result  
in death or electrical shock.  
3.4.1 The enclosure must be supplied from a local  
fused isolator rated for a total amperage not  
exceeding 25 A.  
14 .75"  
(37.5 cm)  
The method for calculating the current loading is as  
follows:  
CORAYVAC® Burner  
0.3 A/burner  
Multiply the current for the individual burners above  
by the number of burners supplied from the  
enclosure to give the total current required.  
The full load amps for the optional outside air blower  
(P/N 90707500) are:  
1.6 A  
10" (25.4 cm)  
The total added current load for each individual  
relay must not exceed 3 A.  
The total added current load for all 8 relays must  
not exceed 25 A.  
3.5 Pump Requirements  
The pump is powered directly from the Variable  
Frequency Drive (VFD). The VFD will be energized  
via an output from the relay board switched through a  
designated relay.  
3.6 Variable Frequency Drive Requirements  
The VFD must be powered separately from the con-  
trol enclosure. The 230 V drive power supply must be  
230 V, 50-60 Hz, 1 Ø. The 120V drive power supply  
must be 120 V, 50-60 Hz, 1 Ø. The 460 drive power  
supply must be 460 V, 50-60 Hz, 3 Ø. See Page 9,  
Section 2.3 for additional details. The VFD on/off  
switching is done by an output on the relay board.

3.7 Indoor Sensor Placement  
Figure 12 for wiring details.  
The sensor measures the air temperature in the  
building. It is important that the sensor is located in  
an area within the heated zone at occupant level. For  
the most accurate results, sensors should be  
mounted on an inside wall, away from any air vents  
or other sources of heat and cold. In order to avoid  
short system cycles and inaccurate temperature  
readings, do not mount sensors under the first  
section of radiant tube (first 10' (3 m) section of tube  
after the burner), in direct sunlight or in the path of  
other sources of radiant heat. The sensors are suit-  
able for direct surface mounting or 4" x 2 1/8" junction  
box mounting.  
3.8 Outdoor Sensor Placement  
The outdoor sensor measures air temperature out-  
side the building. It is important that the sensor is  
located on the outside of the building on the north  
facing wall. Failure to mount the sensor on the north  
facing wall will result in artificially high temperature  
readings. If possible, locate the sensor high under an  
eve to prevent incorrect readings from direct sunlight  
and damage due to the elements.

ROBERTS GORDON® ULTRAVAC™ CONTROLLER INSTALLATION MANUAL  
SECTION 5: COMMUNICATIONS  
One ROBERTS GORDON® ULTRAVAC™ Controller  
per building (called the "central controller) must have  
equipment for remote communications to a PC. This  
equipment consists of either a modem chip, an RS-  
485 converter, or a TCP/IP communications module.  
shielded twisted pair communication wiring.  
See Page 21, Figure 14.  
To interface with ULTRAVAC™ controllers through a  
Local Area Network (LAN), a TCP/IP Communication  
module is installed at controller #1. Controller #1 is  
wired to the LAN by an Ethernet cable. See Page 22,  
Section 5.3. Any computer on the LAN that has  
ULTRAVAC™ software installed can communicate  
with the controllers. Appropriate precautions must be  
taken to protect the Ethernet wiring from any possible  
electrical interference (noise) caused by surrounding  
machinery or equipment.  
For remote on-site and off-site control and system  
status viewing the central controller (controller #1) is  
fitted with a modem chip. See Page 20, Section 5.1.  
If only remote on-site control and system status  
viewing, two controller communications interface  
devices are available: an RS-485 converter or a  
TCP/IP communication module.  
If multiple ULTRAVAC™ controllers are being used,  
the additional controllers communicate to controller  
#1 through communication wiring arranged in-series  
from one controller to the next. See Page 25, Section  
5.5.  
An RS-485 converter is installed at a single PC, this  
PC can interface with any controller on the network  
of ULTRAVAC™ controllers. The RS-485 converter at  
the PC is wired directly to controller #1 using

If multiple ULTRAVAC™ controllers are being used, the  
additional controllers communicate to controller #1  
through RS-485 communication wiring arranged  
in-series from one controller to the next. See Page 25,  
The Central Controller is fitted with a modem chip. To  
use the modem, the controller must have a phone  
line for modem communications. Install a phone line  
near the location of the Central Controller. The phone  
cable is plugged into the phone connection in the  
corner of the control board. See Page 20, Figure 13.  
If the modem option is not used for everyday commu-  
nication to the controller(s), it can still be plugged into  
a phone line for troubleshooting or programming  
assistance. Contact your local Roberts-Gordon inde-  
pendent distributor for details.

5.2 RS-485 Converter for Central Controller  
For remote on-site viewing of system status and  
settings of any controller, use the RS-485 converter  
to connect a single PC (9 pin serial port) to the RS-  
485 terminals on the Central Controller. This will  
allow communication between one PC and any of the  
ULTRAVAC™ controllers on the network. For RS-485  
converter wiring details see Page 21, Figure 14 and  
see Page 25, Section 5.5  
For communication cable requirements see Page 12,  
Section 3.3.5.

from the controller to computers on the LAN via  
Ethernet cable plugged into the RJ45 jack on the  
module. A setup procedure must be performed on  
the module upon installation to create its IP address  
on the LAN. The setup instructions can be found in  
the ROBERTS GORDON® Software Manual.  
For remote on-site viewing of system status and  
settings of any controller, use the TCP/IP communi-  
cation module to connect the controllers to a Local  
Area Network (LAN) via Ethernet cable. Any  
computer on the LAN that has ULTRAVAC™ soft-  
ware installed can be used to communicate with the  
controllers.  
For TCP/IP communication module wiring details, see

If multiple ULTRAVAC™ controllers are being used, the  
additional controllers communicate to controller #1  
through RS-485 communication wiring arranged

The module must be mounted inside the  
ULTRAVAC™ central controller (controller #1)  
enclosure next to the control board. The power (5V)  
for the module will come from the ULTRAVAC™  
control board. The module will communicate to the  
controller via regular phone wire from the RJ11 jack  
on the module to the RS-232 direct connect port on  
the control board. The module will relay the data

proper. If necessary, adjust the proper damper cou-  
pling to achieve an end vent vacuum of 2.5" - 3.0" wc  
See Page 30, Figure 20. Damper couplings should  
be found near the end of the radiant portion of the  
pipe in each branch or where a branch connects to  
other branches at a cross or tee. See Page 31, Fig-  
ure 21.  
7.1 Setting The CORAYVAC® End Burner Vacuum  
It is important to understand that the frequency that  
the VFD runs the motor at, determines the speed of  
the impeller in the pump. Variation of the impeller  
speed will increase or decrease vacuum in the sys-  
tem. The following procedure will help you set mini-  
mum and maximum VFD frequency settings to  
achieve proper vacuum in the system.  
Step 7.1.1 At the controller, turn on the 24 V power  
switch on the relay board. At the PC, "connect" to the  
controller (see the ROBERTS GORDON® ULTRA-  
VAC™ Software Installation and Operation Manual,  
P/N 10081600NA for details) and then open the  
manual override screen(Alt + M). On the screen,  
click the "ON" button for the vacuum pump. Wait 30  
seconds then click the ON button for zones 1-3.  
Step 7.1.2 The pump should be running and the burn-  
ers should light within 60 seconds. At the VFD, verify  
that the number displayed on the LCD screen is  
"60.0" If it is lower than 60.0, hit the "up" arrow button  
on the VFD until the number reads 60.0 Let the burn-  
ers fire for approximately 20-30 minutes to warm up  
the system. Using a manometer, check the end vent  
vacuum in each zone (each branch of burners). See  
Page 30, Figure 20.  
If the lowest end vent vacuum reading is above 3.0"  
wc, reduce the vacuum pump speed. Generally, the  
lowest end vent vacuum reading is on the longest  
branch of the system. Use the down arrow button on  
the VFD to reduce the frequency of the output signal  
to the pump, thus reducing the pump speed and low-  
ering the end vent vacuum reading. Continue to  
reduce the frequency until the end vent vacuum read-  
ing is between 2.5" - 3.0" wc. Make note of this fre-  
quency setting below. The frequency is found on the  
VFD’s LCD screen.  
2.5" wc - 3.0" wc VFD Frequency Setting

To avoid damage to the pump motor, do not adjust  
the frequency above 60.0 Hz. Verify that the end vent
