4Installation Procedure
Installing your RST-5003 is easy if you follow a few simple steps:
• Connect any 4-20 mA sensor, relays, or switched inputs rst.
• Connect RST to Ethernet/network
• Connect independant 12-28 VDC supply if not using POE.
• 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.

Part # 122950-0012
Doc #9004245 Rev A
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:
The model number correlates with all the congurable options and tells you exactly what you have.
Compare the model number to the options on the datasheet to identify your exact conguration.
You can also call us with the model, part, or the serial number and we can help you.
SAMPLE: RST-5013
The RST-5003 Web Enabled Control Module oers a wide degree of integrated and exible 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 had exible power
options: it can use either POE or an independent 12-28 VDC power source.

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.

9General Care
Your RST-5003 is very low maintenance and will need little care as long as it was installed correctly.
However, in general, you should:
• Avoid applications for which the control module was not designed, such as extreme
temperatures, contact with incompatible corrosive chemicals and fumes, or other damaging
environments.
10 Repair Information
If your RST-5003 control module needs repair, contact us via email, phone, or on-line chat on our
website. We will issue you an RMA number with instructions.

11 Removal Instructions
• Disconnect power source to control module.
• Disconnect sensors and network cable to control module.
• Remove the control module and store it in a dry place, at a temperature between -40° F and
180° F.

8Accessing the RST-5003’s Embedded Webpage
Each Modbus sensor attached to your RST-5003 must be congured via the RST-5003’s embedded
webpage before the next sensor can be added. The easiest way to access access the embedded
webpage is to type rst_xxx into a web browser on a computer connected to the same local network
as the RST-5003. xxx represents the numeric portion of the RST-5003’s serial number. See Figures
8.1 and 8.2.
