Power supply
Power the SNC with a 24 VAC power transformer. In North
America, use a Class 2, 24 VAC power supply with a 50
VA minimum output. Outside North America, use a 24
VAC SELV (safety extra-low voltage) transformer at the
appropriate rating. The minimum input voltage for the
SNC to operate properly is 20 VAC.

Maximum cable length versus load current

In most cases inputs/outputs with cables less than 30 m (100 ft) do not require an offset in the software setup. Cable
runs over 30 m (100 ft) may require an offset in the input/output software setup. Use Figure 8 to estimate the maximum
cable length relative to the wire size and the load current (in mA) when wiring inputs and outputs.

Recovery button
The SNC features a recessed Recovery button that is

functionality. To place the SNC into recovery mode, press

operation under these conditions:
• the current password is unknown
• the device is rebooting continuously
• the device is unresponsive or is in a frozen state
• the device fails to take a code download from SCT
Important: If you are unsure about whether to use
the Recovery operation, contact Johnson Controls
technical support.
When you press the Recovery button, the action that
takes place depends on whether this is the first time or
a subsequent time you pressed the button. The actions
taken are as follows:
• First press (odd-numbered): The SNC resets and
restores the factory default settings on the active
partition.
• Second press (even-numbered): The SNC resets
and makes the opposite partition the currently active
partition with the factory default settings. Any staged
configuration files are lost. If the SNC has never been
imaged with a release other than the shipped factory
release, then both partitions (active and inactive) are
now at the same release. Once the SNC is imaged in
the field with a release other than the factory release,
the active and inactive partitions are at different
releases. At this point, it is your responsibility to verify
the SNC's active partition is at the correct release. If it
is not, you need to download the SNC with the correct
code from SCT.
This process repeats the next time the Recovery button
is pressed with the exception of each time an SCT code
download is performed, which resets the Recovery button
back to the default setting.

Cable length for FC Bus
When using fiber-optic connections: 2,010 m (6,594 ft) between two fiber-optic modems.
Stranded 0.6 mm (22 AWG) 3-wire twisted, shielded cable is recommended.
Stranded 0.6 mm (22 AWG) 4-wire (two twisted-pairs) shielded cable is acceptable.

Repair information
If the SNC fails to operate within its specifications, replace it. The SNC is not a serviceable product; however, it does
support software updates to enable feature enhancements. For a replacement unit, software updates, or accessories,
contact your local Johnson Controls representative.
Do not open the SNC housing. The SNC has no user-serviceable parts inside and does not require periodic field
maintenance. A non-replaceable super capacitor, not a battery, retains SNC data during a loss of power.
If you replace a SNC for any reason or add a new SNC to a site, you must update the site pairing to ensure that the new
SNC is recognized and can communicate. Refer to F4-SNC Commissioning Guide (LIT-12013520) for more information.
