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.
