Description
The RST-5003 Web Enabled Control Module offers a wide degree of integrated and
flexible remote and local control and monitoring for your system. The RST-5003
can control up to ten APG Modbus sensors—any combination of level, pressure,
magnetostrictive, and ultrasonic—along with one 4-20 mA sensor, and two input or out
relay terminals. All readings are available for control and monitoring via TCP/IP for local
or remote network access. The RST-5003 also has flexible power options: it can use either
POE or an independent 12-28 VDC power source.

How To Read Your Label
Each label comes with a full model number, a part number, and a serial number. The
model number for the RST-5003 will look something like this:
SAMPLE: RST-5013
The model number correlates with all the configurable options and tells you exactly what
you have. Compare the model number to the options on the datasheet to identify your
exact configuration. You can also call us with the model, part, or the serial number and we
can help you.

Installation Procedure
4
Installing your RST-5003 is easy if you follow a few simple steps:
STEP 1:
Connect any 4-20 mA sensor, relays, or switched inputs first.
STEP 2: Connect RST to Ethernet/network.
STEP 3: Connect independent 12-28 VDC supply if not using POE.
STEP 4: Connect and set up one Modbus sensor at a time.
Please keep the following limitations in mind:
•
Up to 10 Modbus sensors can be connected to the RST-5003 in any combination.
•
Only one 4-20 mA sensor can be connected to the RST-5003.
IMPORTANT: Each Modbus sensor must be added to the network individually and
assigned a unique Sensor Number before the next sensor can be added.
NOTE: If you can control power to each Modbus sensor individually, you can
connect them all simultaneously, and power them on individually.
