- Page 9 RCI-400 Connections: The RCI-400 is the main board of an RCI-400-XXX Telemetry system. It provides the input and output signal connections as well as the power supply for the unit. The RCI-400 consists of two circuit boards: a main controller board with four contact inputs and four contact outputs and below it an analog input/output board with four analog inputs and four analog outputs.
- Page 10 Inputs: The RCI-400 has four dry contact inputs and four 0-20mA inputs. The dry contact inputs are excited with 24VDC and will source approximately 20mA when the contact is closed. A red LED lights up when a contact input is closed. The analog inputs are configured as 0-20mA inputs and have a 250Ω...
- Page 11 Output Calibration & Input Testing: The outputs on the RCI-400 are factory calibrated and should not require any adjustments. To check the calibration of the outputs and relays use jumpers H1-7 & H1-8 as shown below to set them to known states. If an output should require some adjustment, the main circuit board has to be removed from the analog input/output board to gain access to the output calibration potentiometers.
- Page 12 RCI-400 Configuration: The RCI-400 requires no configuration other than for its communication fail operation. In the event of a communications failure on the communications board, the RCI-400 can be set up to take various actions on its outputs. This may be desirable in order to place connected devices into a safe operating mode.
- Page 13 FSK Communication Option: The -FSK communications option for the RCI series utilizes Frequency Shift Keying modems on a leased telephone line to exchange the signal data between a host and its remote(s). There are two types of Topologies that can be configured: 1) Point-to-Point and 2) Host-to-Multipoint. In a Point-to-Point topology one host communicates with one remote.
- Page 14 An RCI-400 configured as a host may communicate in one of the following system setups: a) 1 RCI-400 remote b) 2 RCI-200 remotes c) 4 RCI-200 remotes configured as 1-channel remotes d) 4 RCI-100 remotes Host Remote #1 Remote #2 Remote #3 Remote #4 Host...

Page 15: Host Configuration
Host Configuration: To make an RCI-400 operate as a host unit, make sure that SW2-8 is flipped down. Next, set the number of remotes that the host is to SW1-1 SW1-2 SW1-3 # of Remotes communicate with using SW1-1, -2, -3. These switches are binary encoded as shown in the chart to the right. - Page 16 Use the lowest amplification setting that yields good results since too high of an amplification setting can distort the signal yielding unreliable communication also. To judge the state of your communication, use the red and green Transmit and Receive LEDs. On a host unit, the red Transmit LED will light first for a fraction of a second.
- Page 17 Leased Line Connection & Specifications: The RCI-XXX-FSK uses a leased line to communicate. A leased line is a regular telephone line without the dial tone. It is essentially always ON. If you were to connect a telephone at either end and two people were to pick up the receiver they could just start talking.
