2 PRECAUTIONS ● Grounding ● Filtering ● Checking the Battery Level 2.1 Grounding ● Always connect temperature and sensor shields to earth ground. Avoid mixing high voltage wiring with sensor and low voltage wiring. ● Keep the controller as far as possible from heavy contactor boxes and other sources of electrical interference.
3.2 Layout The following illustration displays the main elements in Platinum Pro units. Figure 1: Platinum Pro Layout NOTE: Figure 1 is an example layout. Each installation can differ. Platinum PRO supports: ● Analog input, digital input, analog output cards ●...
4 SITE PREPARATION The following sections detail the initial steps required when placing the Platinum controllers. 4.1 Mounting 1. Remove the mounting plates (x4) and screws (x8) from the plastic bag. 2. Fasten the mounting plates to the corners of the controller using four screws.
2. Drill a hole on the bottom side of the controller box. Verify that the high voltage cables being used fit through the hole properly. NOTE: Rotem recommends drilling at least two (2) holes, placed as close to the front edge as possible (to avoid crowding the wiring). Platinum Controllers | 6.0X...

This procedure details how to connect Winch Cards to the inlets. Winch cards simplify backup (opening air sources such as inlets) in a power/heating event. NOTE: Winch Cards are optional. Users employing an RBU-27 do not require Winch Cards. Rotem recommends that users employing an RBU-5 or RBU-3 install Winch Cards. NOTE: Use relays 7 –...
5.4 Completing the Wiring ● Tie the cables together with tie wraps and route them as shown (through the high voltage wiring holes drilled as shown in Drilling, page 9). Figure 12: Wrapping the Cables Platinum Controllers | 6.0X...
6 LOW VOLTAGE WIRING The following section details the: ● Analog Card DIP Switches ● Analog Input Wiring Diagram for Temperature Sensors ● Analog Input Wiring Diagram for CO2 and Light Sensor ● Analog Input Wiring Diagram for Potentiometers ● Analog Input Wiring Diagram for Humidity Sensors Platinum' analog input card (P/N: C-P3-RAIC12) supports up to 12 analog devices: temperature, light, CO2, and humidity sensors, wind direction detectors, and potentiometers.
6.1.2 Analog Input Wiring Diagram for Temperature Sensors ● Connect the temperature sensor to an input and COM port. Terminals 1 - 8: These inputs support temperature sensors only. ● IN1 – IN4: These are optional temperature sensor inputs (turn DIP Switch 4 (T) on each set as required).

3.3V Ground strip 6.3 Digital Input Wiring Platinum PRO has a Digital Input Card (P/N: C-P3-RDIC12) with 12 inputs which are used to measure digital sensors. Each input requires an input and COM port. ● It is possible to connect the common of several sensors to the same connector. However Rotem recommends spreading the commons in an even manner.
6.4 Analog Output Wiring Platinum PRO has an analog output card (C-P3-RAOC10) with 10 outputs, used to drive external units controlled by 0 – 10 VDC. The analog outputs card consists of surge and lightening protection circuits and does not require external protections.
Rotem’s Alarm Card (C-PP-P3-ALARM) provides integrated lightning protection for a single alarm device of up to 430 Volts DC. If you need to lightening protection for more than one device, use Rotem’s P-RLVP to protect low voltage devices or the RPLP for line voltage devices.
