Advanced Industrial M2M/IoT Gateway DIN Rail Mounting The RTCU LX5 eco can be delivered in a version suitable for mounting on a standard DIN rail according to IEC/EN 60715. On the bottom side of the device the DIN rail clip allows attaching to the DIN rail.
RTCU LX5 eco Technical Manual V1.00 Advanced Industrial M2M/IoT Gateway Digital outputs The digital outputs control two open-drain switches. They function like a contact, where one side is connected to the digital output, and the other side is to the ground internally in the RTCU unit.
RTCU LX5 eco Technical Manual V1.00 Advanced Industrial M2M/IoT Gateway Digital Inputs / Ignition Input The digital inputs are all low-pass filtered and transient protected. To activate the inputs, connect a positive voltage between the input and the GND connector.
Advanced Industrial M2M/IoT Gateway Flex Analog/Digital Inputs The RTCU LX5 eco has three flex analog inputs that can work in either analog or digital mode. The configuration is conveniently done from the RTCU IDE I/O configuration dialog. The operating range is from 0..30 VDC and the conversion resolution is 12 bit.
RTCU LX5 eco Technical Manual V1.00 Advanced Industrial M2M/IoT Gateway CAN bus port The RTCU provides the physical layer for the CAN (Controller Area Network) serial communication interface in accordance with the ISO 11898 standard. The CAN bus is designed for high-speed (up to 1Mbit) robust communication in especially harsh environments like those found in the automotive industry.
If the RTCU LX5 eco is used as an endpoint node, the jumper for the RS485 port can be inserted in order to terminate the RS485 communication lines with 120Ω.
RTCU LX5 eco Technical Manual V1.00 Advanced Industrial M2M/IoT Gateway 1-Wire bus The 1-Wire bus is available on the RJ45 communication connector. All 1-Wire communication goes through a single connection, and all 1-Wire devices connected can retrieve power directly from the bus (called parasitic power).
Advanced Industrial M2M/IoT Gateway 3D movement sensor The RTCU LX5 eco device contains a 3-axis accelerometer to detect vibration and motion. It makes it possible to detect movement and position change in 3 directions, X-Y-Z with force as high as 16g in acceleration.
RTCU LX5 eco Technical Manual V1.00 Advanced Industrial M2M/IoT Gateway LED Indicators Three bi-colored (red and green) indicators are present on the device top. One bi-colored LED (A and B) is available to the user, and the remaining two LEDs (S1 and S2) are signaling the status and possible errors of the RTCU device.

Fast blinking, green The device is installing an update. Depending on the kind S2 On, green of update, it may take some time.
Advanced Industrial M2M/IoT Gateway System Reset Switch The RTCU LX5 eco device contains a combined reset/diagnostic switch. This switch is accessible on the backside of the unit. It is necessary to use a small thin object with a diameter of approx. 2 mm, for example, a straightened-out paper clip for this purpose.
RTCU LX5 eco Technical Manual V1.00 Advanced Industrial M2M/IoT Gateway Rechargeable Li-Ion Backup Battery The RTCU contains an internal Li-Ion battery for operation even when the external power is absent, making it possible to report power loss etc. Please note, that when external power is removed, the device will be powered down by default.
The Cellular Engine is designed for EMEA, Korea, and Thailand. SIM-Card The RTCU LX5 eco device contains a standard Mini SIM card reader located inside the device. The SIM card reader is a lid-based reader with a mechanical lock system to secure the SIM card installation.
RTCU LX5 eco Technical Manual V1.00 Advanced Industrial M2M/IoT Gateway ISM RF The RTCU LX5 is provided with an ISM band RF radio that gives the device the ability to communicate wirelessly with other certain types of equipment and devices. The radio communicates in the 868 MHz frequency band and complies with the European EN 300 220 requirements.
RF Antenna The RTCU LX5 eco device contains an internal chip antenna for the 868 MHz ISM band. It is recommended not to place the RTCU LX5 device inside a metal enclosure as this will degrade the ISM RF performance.
The RTCU LX5 eco product identification is found on the device's exterior and contains a unique serial-number in readable form and barcode. The first three digits in the serial number identify the device type, and for the RTCU LX5 eco, this unique code is 351.
