Installing the RTU Open
Binary outputs
The RTU Open has 8 binary outputs. You can connect each output to a maximum of 24 Vac/Vdc. Each output is a
dry contact rated at 3 A, 24 V maximum, and is normally open.
To size output wiring, consider the following:
•
Total loop distance from the power supply to the controller, and then to the controlled device
NOTE Include the total distance of actual wire. For 2-conductor wires, this is twice the cable length.
•
Acceptable voltage drop in the wire from the controller to the controlled device
•
Resistance (Ohms) of the chosen wire gauge
•
Maximum current (Amps) the controlled device requires to operate
Analog outputs
The RTU Open has 2 analog outputs that support voltage or current devices.
AO-1 - 2-10 Vdc or 4-20 mA (Configure on jumper J3)
AO-2 - 0-10 Vdc or 2-10 Vdc
NOTE The controlled device must share the same ground as the controller. When used as a 4-20 mA output, the
load must have an input impedance of 500 Ohms or less. If the output is used as a voltage type output, then the
load impedance must be 10K ohms or greater.
To wire inputs and outputs
1
Turn off the RTU Open's power.
2
Connect the input wiring to the screw terminals on the RTU Open.
3
Turn on the RTU Open's power.
4
Set the appropriate jumpers on the RTU Open.
