Comfort Controller 6400

The Comfort Controller 6400 (part number
CEPL130201) is a microcontroller-based module that
provides general purpose HVAC control and monitoring
capability in a standalone or network environment using
closed-loop, direct digital control. The 6400 gives the
Carrier Comfort Network (CCN) the capability to control
and communicate with non-Carrier equipment and
Carrier HVAC equipment not equipped with Product
Integrated Controls (PICs).

You can connect 16 field points (8 inputs and 8 outputs)

to the 6400. To connect additional field points, add
optional input/output modules (8 inputs and 8 outputs
per I/O module) to the 6400. By using multiple I/O
modules, you can connect up to 48 additional points,
giving you the capability to control and/or monitor a total
of up to 64 field points. The appropriate number of I/O
modules are selected for each control situation and
simply installed along with the 6400 in your field-
selected NEMA-1 enclosure. This modular concept
contributes to overall versatility and ease of installation. 8 INPUTS

Comfort Controller 6400-I/O

The Comfort Controller 6400-I/O (part number
CEPL130203) is used with the Comfort Controller 6400
to expand the field point capacity from 16 points (8
inputs and 8 outputs) up to a total of 64 points.

Each 6400-I/O can be configured to use all 16 points (8

inputs and 8 outputs) or only 8 outputs or only 8 inputs.
This provides the ultimate flexibility in usage of field
points to meet the specific needs of each application.
Determine the number of 6400-I/O required for your
particular application. Then simply install the modules
along with the 6400 in your field-selected NEMA-1
enclosure.

To determine the number of 6400-I/O required by the

particular application, first decide how many field points
are required. Then order and install the 6400-I/O(s)
along with the 6400 in your field-selected enclosure.
This modularity contributes to overall versatility.
