Introduction What is the RTU Open controller? The RTU Open controller (part# OPN-RTUM2) is available as an integrated component of a Carrier rooftop unit, or as a field-installed retrofit product. NOTE The RTU Open controller is available in both English or Metric units. The metric version has (-M) appended to the part number.
• Do not power pilot relays from the same transformer that powers the RTU Open. • Carrier controllers can share a power supply as long as you: Maintain the same polarity ○ Use the power supply only for Carrier controllers ○...
RTU Open's SW3 DIP switches are used to set the controller's protocol and baud rate. The protocol and speed selection is determined by the network on which the controller will be installed. For Carrier BACnet implementations, select MS/TP @ 76.8 k as follows: Power down the RTU Open.

Installing the RTU Open *Formatting the controller may result in lost information and should only be done under the guidance of Carrier Control Systems Support. Optional Safety chain devices, field-installed - normally closed. Apply 24 Vac to this terminal (jumper from J1 - 1 to J1 - 9) where no safety devices are installed.
NOTE This document gives instructions for wiring the sensors to the RTU Open. For specific mounting and wiring instructions, see the Carrier Sensors Installation Guide or the device's Installation and Start-up Guide.. All field control wiring that connects to the RTU Open must be routed through the raceway built into the corner post.

RTU Open's Rnet port, strictly adhering to the Rnet wiring specifications (page 22). Do NOT mount the Wireless Adapter outdoors. The Carrier wireless sensors are available in 868, 902, and 928 MHz radio frequency. The sensors are thermistor- based temperature sensors that may optionally sense humidity.

Wire the TruVu™ ET Display 24V DC connector to the 24 Vdc power supply using 2-conductor 18 AWG wire. Maximum distance 100 feet (30 meters). CAUTION The TruVu™ ET Display can share a power supply with the Carrier controller as long as: •...
Wall and duct sensor - Part #33ZCSENSRH-02 and 33ZCSENDRH-02 The Relative Humidity (RH) sensor may be used for zone humidity control (dehumidification) when applied to a Carrier rooftop unit equipped with the Humidi-MiZer™ option. On units not equipped for dehumidification, the sensor monitors humidity, but provides no control.
Wiring a Humidistat Locally Purchased A humdistat may be used for zone humidity control (dehumidification) when applied to a Carrier rooftop unit equipped with the Humidi-MiZer™ option. On units not equipped for dehumidification, the humidistat will indicate a high humidity condition only.
• Heat pump units utilizing a reversing valve output for heating and cooling control • Heat pump unit (Carrier) with an OEM defrost control board • Economizer, CO2, Demand Limiting, and RH control strategies are available for appropriately equipped units •...
Sequence of Operation Dehumidification The RTU Open provides occupied and unoccupied dehumidification on units that are equipped with the Carrier Humidi-MiZer™ option from the factory. This requires a space relative humidity sensor or a humidistat for control. The following conditions must be true for the dehumidification control to operate: •...
Compressor Safety may be configured on Binary Input 3. A compressor safety tripped indicator circuit is available on most Carrier rooftop equipment. A Compressor Safety Alarm is shown on Properties page > Control Program tab > Alarms and indicates that the equipment requires attention.
• If it's a Carrier Heat Pump HP Y1/W1 Ctrl, there is only 1 auxiliary heat stage output and the staging is done by the machine itself. The RTU Open control does not take any action.
Configuration > Compressor States value is not set to Two Stages. Airside Linkage Alarm - An RTU Open may act as an air source in a zoned system. Carrier systems use a function called Linkage™ to pass data between a master zone and its air source over an MS/TP network connection. When the RTU Open is part of a linked system, it will indicate an airside linkage alarm if it loses communications with its linkage master or if it receives data from more than 1 master zone.
Troubleshooting Troubleshooting If you have problems mounting, wiring, or addressing the RTU Open, contact Carrier Control Systems Support. NOTE To help you troubleshoot, obtain a Module Status (Modstat) from the controller and review the System Error and Warning details. Communication LED's The LED's on the RTU Open show the status of certain functions.
SPT Sensor - (For the SPT Standard, SPT Plus, and SPT Pro sensors only). Sensor configurations on the microblock's Properties > Details tab are listed below. For more information, see the Carrier Sensors Installation Guide. input 1 – Input Channel 1; 4 - 20 mA only. User-configurable for IAQ, OAQ, or Space Relative Humidity.
