All product must be accompanied by a Return Authorization number (RA number) which must be obtained from Pribusin Inc.
  • Page 5 RCI-100 Connections: The RCI-100 is the main board of an RCI-100-XXX Telemetry system. It provides the input and output signal connections as well as the power supply for the unit. A separate communications board is added to the RCI-100 to allow it to communicate with other units. This communications board may have its own configuration that is in a separate section of this manual.
  • Page 6 Inputs: The RCI-100 has one dry contact input and one 0-20mA input. The dry contact input is excited with 24VDC and will source approximately 20mA when the contact is closed. A red LED lights up when the contact input is closed. The analog input is configured as a 0-20mA input and has a 250...
  • Page 7 Outputs: The RCI-100 has one form ‘C’ relay contact output and one 0-20mA analog output. The relay contact is capable of switching 120VAC, 10A or 240VAC, 6A. An energy absorbing varistor is installed across each contact to limit switching transients. A second relay contact acts as a communications fail indicator.
  • Page 8 RCI-100 Configuration: The RCI-100 requires no configuration other than for its communication fail operation. In the event of a communications failure on the communications board, the RCI-100 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 9 RF150 Communication Option: The –RF150 communications option to the RCI series utilizes license-free 150-154 MHz MURS Band radio frequency transmissions 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 10 Radio Configuration: The radio communication board has two banks of 8-position DIP switches: SW1 and SW2. The function of these switches is slightly different for a host unit and a remote unit. We recommend powering the unit down while making any changes to the configuration. SW1- HOST REMOTE...
  • Page 11 Interrogation Interval: This parameter determines how often the radios connect to update the input and output signals. SW1-4 SW1-5 Interrogation interval 10 sec 30 sec 1 min 5 min Reply Timeout: The default reply timeout of 1 second is adequate for most applications.
  • Page 12 Host Configuration: To make an RCI-100 operate as a host unit, make sure that SW2-8 is flipped down. Next, set the number of remotes that the host is to communicate with using SW1-1, -2, -3. These switches are binary encoded as shown in the chart to the right.
  • Page 13 Remote Configuration: To make an RCI-100 operate as a REMOTE unit, make sure that SW2-8 is switched OFF. Next, set the remote address using SW1-1, -2 & -3. Each SW1-1 SW1-2 SW1-3 Remote Address remote in a system must have a unique address. Next, set the number of channels on this remote using SW2-1.
  • Page 14 Point-to-Point Communication Communication between one host and one remote is called point-to-point. Example 1: An RCI-100 Host communicating with an RCI-100 Remote RCI-100 (Host) RCI-100 (Remote) Host Channels: 1 Interval: 10 sec. Remote Channels: 1 Interval: 10 sec.
