Installation
14 RTU Open
Binary outputs
The RTU Open has 8 binary outputs. You can connect each output to a maximum of 24 Vac/Vdc. Each output
is a dry contact rated at 3 A, 24 V maximum, and is normally open.
To size output wiring, consider the following:
• Total loop distance from the power supply to the controller, and then to the controlled device
NOTE Include the total distance of actual wire. For 2-conductor wires, this is twice the cable length.
• Acceptable voltage drop in the wire from the controller to the controlled device
• Resistance (Ohms) of the chosen wire gauge
• Maximum current (Amps) the controlled device requires to operate
Analog output
The RTU Open has 1 analog output that supports voltage or current devices. The controlled device must share
the same ground as the controller and have input impedance of 500 Ohms maximum for the 4-20 mA mode
on AO - 1.
To wire inputs and outputs
1 Turn off the RTU Open's power.
2 Connect the input wiring to the screw terminals on the RTU Open.
3 Turn
on the RTU Open's power.
4 Set the appropriate jumpers on the RTU Open.
