Relay Control Panels

The Argus Interface Module System (AIMS) is a unique modular system designed to interface line voltage (110 volt and over) equipment with low voltage (24 volt) control signals. AIMS relay panels are easy to specify, order, and install.

• power distribution
• line voltage interfacing

Argus Combination Panel

Applications

Argus line voltage interface modules are used wherever line voltage loads must be switched by the control system. Each panel is custom configured to the specific design loads and output equipment applications.

Alternatives

Local electrical contractors may also supply line voltage panels. Other types of control equipment and mounting configurations include DIN rail, integrated relay, and PCB modules. All can be supplied by Argus. Low voltage switching devices (i.e. 24 VA solenoids, mixing valves, etc.) do not require line voltage interfacing. They can be operated directly by Argus output modules.

Features

• Cost Effective - we select reliable, compact, cost-effective CSA and UL approved components and overloads from manufacturers who are industry leaders in both technology and service. Completed panels are CSA inspected and approved.
• Standardized - a standard selection of modules are used to handle typical greenhouse load applications: 95% of all loads in a greenhouse require no more than 240 volts and 1 HP for single phase loads, and 240 volts and 5 HP for three phase loads.
• Prewired - line and low voltage sides are pre-wired to appropriate terminal strips. Neutral bus is installed.
• Modular - our systems are packaged as complete modules including components, terminal blocks, overloads, and diagrams, thereby eliminating the custom assembly costs of a "one-off" design (i.e. built from scratch).
• Custom Drawings - Argus provides detailed wiring diagrams of each panel to assist with installation and troubleshooting.
• Data Pocket - high-impact thermoplastic data pocket is conveniently located on the door's interior surface to hold Argus shop drawings and other important documents.

Easy to Install

• standard mounting system allows easy factory or field installation.
• completed panels are delivered ready to mount.
• detailed wiring diagrams of modules, device loads, and wiring terminations are provided.
• pre-wired terminals are labeled to show required field connections.

Technical Specifications

Argus Interface Panels are custom configured to your specifications. Typical applications are shown in the table to the left along with Argus module types. These modules can be grouped into many sizes of enclosures to suit your requirements.

Hardware Installation

Argus panels must be installed by a licensed electrician. Detailed wiring diagrams, such as the one shown to the left, are provided to assist the installer.

Argus Panel Modules

Argus modules are expertly designed to handle a variety of applications and equipment, such as multiple fan staging, reversing motor controls, HID lighting, heat control valves, and motor starters. All modules are labeled, and detailed CAD drawings are provided to assist the installer with mounting and field wiring.

Enclosures

NEMA 4 enclosures are typically used for applications. Argus selects watertight and dust-proof enclosures constructed from quality 14 AWG steel with continuously welded seams.
