  • Page 14: Power Supply

    Dual Supply Note: The RTCU NX-900 can be supplied with both VAC and VDC at the same time. The device will run on the VAC supply if the VDC supply voltage is < +24VDC. If the VDC supply voltage is higher it will run on the VDC supply.
  • Page 15: Dc Supply

    Advanced M2M/IIoT Gateway DC Supply The RTCU NX-900 can be supplied with 8-36VDC from an external DC power source. Positive power is applied to the DCIN pin and ground is connected to the XGND pin. The DC supply of the NX-900 is protected against wrong polarity. If a system ground is connected to either SGND or AGND, a wrong polarity on the supply lines will destroy the internal GND connection.
  • Page 16: Ac Supply

    The RTCU NX-900 device can be supplied with 100-265VAC (50/60Hz) from a standard wall plug or any other high-voltage VAC power rail. The AC supply of the RTCU NX-900 is a highly efficient switch mode power supply and the AC input is protected internally with a 2A/250V Fast Acting non-replaceable fuse.

This difference can interrupt the behavior of the device and in worst case damage that part of the device. This must be taken in consideration when the NX-900 devices are supplied with AC supply.
  • Page 18: Digital I/O

    The RTCU NX-900 device 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.
  • Page 19: Digital Inputs / S0 Inputs / Wakeup (Ignition) Input

    S0 compliant inputs (IEC62053-31, Class A compatible) In S0 configuration the relevant RTCU NX-900 input will act as a ‘pulse input device’, and a current is supplied into the input connector so that a simple switch between SGND and the appropriate input will activate it.
  • Page 20 The DI5 / wakeup (ignition) input is a special input as it also functions as the ignition. If the input is activated with a logical high when the RTCU NX-900 is in power down mode, it will wake the device. A power apply will also wake the device up if it is in power-down mode.
  • Page 21: Analog I/O

    Analog I/O Analog inputs The RTCU NX-900 device has four 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 0-20mA.
