  • Page 10: Power Supply

    Dual Supply Note: The RTCU AX9i eco unit can be supplied with both VAC and VDC at the same time. The unit will run on the VAC supply if the VDC supply voltage is < +16VDC. If the VDC supply voltage is higher it will run on the VDC supply.
  • Page 11: Dc Supply

    Positive power is applied to the DCIN pin and ground is connected to the XGND pin. The DC supply of the RTCU AX9i eco is protected against wrong polarity. If a system ground are connected to either SGND or AGND a wrong polarity on the supply lines will destroy the internal GND connection.
  • Page 12: Ac Supply

    RTCU AX9i eco Technical Manual V1.01 AC Supply The RTCU AX9i eco unit can be supplied with 85-265VAC (50/60Hz) from a standard wall plug or any other high-voltage VAC power rail. The AC supply of the RTCU AX9i eco is a high-efficient switch mode power supply and the AC input is protected with a 1A/250V Fast Acting fuse.
  • Page 13 RTCU AX9i eco Technical Manual V1.01 Please Note: The DC ground of the AX9 series is isolated from the AC ground because of the nature of AC-to- DC converting. As these two grounds are not tied together anywhere in the AX9, the DC ground may appear as "floating ground"...
  • Page 14: Digital I/O

    RTCU AX9i eco will switch to normally-open. The RTCU AX9i eco unit offers a very advanced power management, which makes it possible to have one or more outputs enabled while the RTCU is in low power mode. Please consult the RTCU IDE on-line help for more information.

    SGND and the appropriate input will activate it. This is used in most electricity metering equipment. Please note: The RTCU AX9i eco unit must be supplied with a minimum of 16 VDC or AC power for the S0 mode to work correctly.
  • Page 16 RTCU AX9i eco Technical Manual V1.01 Wakeup (ignition) input The DIN5 / wakeup (ignition) input is a special input in that it also functions as the wakeup input. If the input is activated with a logical high or low (Wait For Event mode only) when the RTCU AX9i eco is in low-power mode it will wake-up the unit.
  • Page 17: Analog Input

    RTCU AX9i eco Technical Manual V1.01 Analog input The RTCU AX9i eco unit has two analog inputs which can be configured individually to work either as voltage or current measurement inputs by using the configuration jumper. The range in voltage mode is 0-10VDC and in current mode it is 0-20mA.
  • Page 18: Usb Programming Port

    A standard USB cable can be used between the unit and the PC. RS232 communication ports (EIA/TIA-232 and V.28/V.24 compatible) One general purpose RS232 ports available on the RTCU AX9i eco unit. The serial input is compliant with the EIA/TIA-232 standard.
