Software: Requires RLM module driver.
Fault Detection:Hardware watchdog timer.
Temperature Range: -20-150 °F (-28.9 to 65.6 °C),
non-condensing.
Battery: 7-year lithium battery provides 10,000 hours
(minimum) of data retention during power outages.
A/D Input Resolution: 10 bit.
ListedBy:PAZX(UL916).
Mounting
The R683 module's design allows it to be mounted two
ways. The R683 can be mounted inside a NEMA 3R type
rainproof enclosure or it can be mounted directly to the
backplate of a conventional control panel.
NEMA3RMounting:
The R683 module is constructed with metal mounting
flanges that allow the module to be mounted inside a
NEMA 3R type enclosure.
There are two large holes and two small holes in both
ends of the metal mounting flanges. The two small holes
are used to mount the module to the enclosure. The two
large holes allow screws to pass through the module and
hold the enclosure to the surface on which it is mounted
(see Figure 2).
Panel Mounting:
To mount the R683 module directly to a surface, the
NEMA 3R flanges must be removed. These flanges are
designed to be broken off along the perforation. After
removal, mount the module directly to the desired
surface.
Power Wiring
CAUTION: The R683 module is a Class 2 device (less
than 30 VAC). Take appropriate isolation measures
when mounting the R683 module in a control panel
where Class 1 devices (120 VAC) or wiring are present.
NOTE: Whenever possible, terminate and verify power
and communication to all modules before terminating
any inputs and outputs.
Procedure
1. Verify that the module is addressed correctly.
2. Turn the R683's power switch OFF. (This prevents
the module from being powered up until proper
voltage is verified.)
3. Terminate AC power at the wiring source (usually a
circuit breaker or other AC source).
4. Terminate power to the transformer.
Figure 2: Mounting R683 Module Inside a NEMA 3R Type Enclosure

2. Set the module's address using the 8-position DIP
switch (see Figure 1 for switch location).
3. Replace the R683's power jumper.
Setting the Module's Address
The address DIP switch (see Figure 4) is configured with
eight individual sliding ON/OFF switches. Switches 2-8
are used for addressing. The value of each switch is
indicated to the right of the individual switch on the
module cover and in Figure 4. The module's address is
the sum of the values of the switches in the ON position.
As shown in the example, switches six and eight,
counting top to bottom, are in the ON position.
Therefore, this module's address is five.
Setting the CMnet Baud Rate
NOTE: The CMnet baud rate must be the same for all
modules on the CMnet.
Switch 1 (top switch) is used to determine the R683
module's communication speed. When the switch is in
the OFF position, the R683 has a baud rate of 9600 bps.
When the switch is in the ON position, the module has a
baud rate of 38.4k bps.
As shown in Figure 4, switch 1 is set to the right and is in
the ON position. Therefore, the module's baud rate is set
at 38.4k bps.
Figure 4: Setting the Address and Baud Rate
(Address = 5, Baud Rate = 38.4k bps)
5. Terminate the two power wires to the power terminals
labeled Gnd and 24 VAC (see Figure 3 for location).
6. Verify that 24 VAC is present at the power input.
NOTE: Before turning the power on, see
“Addressing and Baud Rate” later in this document.
An error condition will occur if the address of the
R683 module is changed after applying power. If
this happens, memory must be transferred to the
module before operation may resume.
7. After verifying the module's address, turn the R683's
power switch ON and verify that the "Run" LED is
blinking.
Addressing & Baud Rates
NOTES:
1. Before setting or changing the address or baud rate,
remove power from the module.
2. After changing the address, the Error LED may light
when the module is turned ON. You must transfer
memory to the module as described later in this
document to turn this LED off.
Procedure
1. Before setting or changing the address or baud rate,
remove the R683's power jumper.

communication has been established.
Zone Sensor Wiring
CAUTION: Becausethestandardzonesensorinputs
are not surge protected, they should only be used for
thermistorsor the enhanced zone sensor. Any otheruse
could result in damage to the hardware.
Standard Zone Sensor
(Using the Enhanced Zone Sensor Port)
1. Turn the module's power switch OFF.
2. For input 1 (UI 1), connect the zone sensor wires to
pins 1 and 2 on the 8-pin receptacle on the R683
module see Figure 5.
3. Turn the module's power switch back ON.
4. Input the channel number, offset, and gain on the
RLM FB parameter page (UI 1 uses channel number
39 and UI 2 uses channel number 3A).
5. If using input 2 (UI 2) on the Enhanced Zone Sensor
Port, repeat steps 1-4, connecting the sensor between
pins 1 and 3 on the 8-pin connector on the R683
module see Figure 5.
NOTE: When making a sensor cable, disregard the
numbers imprinted on the plastic connector.
Enhanced Zone Sensor
1. Turn the module's power switch OFF.
2. Plug the Amp 8-pin connector to the 8-pin
receptacle. If you are constructing your own cable,
use the crimper shown in Figure 6. Refer to Figure 7
for the cable wiring configuration. Use 22 AWG
wire.
3. Replace the power jumper.
4. Enter the channel number, offset, and gain on the
RLM FB parameter page as listed in the "Channel

Local Setpoint Adjust
Use the sensor's left switch to adjust the occupied
setpoints. When this switch is placed in the middle
position, the setpoints specified on the RLM FB
parameter page are in effect. The switch's left position
lowers the setpoints by an amount specified on the
parameter page (default is 3 degrees). The switch's right
position raises the setpoints by the same amount.
Timed Local Override
Use the sensor's right switch to activate the zone override.
The switch is spring loaded and always returns to the
right position. This switch has no effect when the zone is
scheduled occupied. When the zone is scheduled
unoccupied, toggling the switch causes the zone to
become occupied. The amount of override time is equal
to the number of times the override switch is toggled
multiplied by the "override increment per toggle"
parameter as defined on the parameter page. For example,
if the increment is set at 60, toggle the switch once for an
occupancy of 60 minutes, twice for 120 minutes, etc.
Once the zone is occupied from this switch, pressing it
again and holding it in the left position for the reset
interval (three seconds default) causes the zone to
become unoccupied.
Occupancy Indication
The LED on top of the sensor lights up whenever the
zone is occupied, whether from a regular schedule, the
action of the Local Override Switch, or an telephone
override.
NOTE: Pins 4 and 7 must be connected to utilize the
occupancy indicator.
Using the Enhanced Zone Sensor
Shown in Figure 8, the enhanced zone sensor provides
local setpoint adjust, timed local override, and
occupancy indication.

Local Access
The R683 allows you to connect a computer to the
ACCESS port or the ZONE port. You can connect to the
ZONE port either at the module or through an Enhanced
Zone Sensor (see Figure 9). The computer’s connection
type must be set to Direct Network.
The ZONE port uses an 8-pin connector. To make a cable
for this connection (see Figure 7), use ALC part no. CON,
a package of 8-wire connectors and covers (AMP part
no’s. 641237-8 and 640550-8) which require 22 AWG
stranded wire. Other connectors are available by calling
your local Amp distributor at 800-526-5142. The cable
wiring configuration is shown below. The cable should
not exceed 50 ft. See Figure 11 for how to use the
switches on the NI485 cable.
NOTE: When making a sensor cable, disregard the
numbers imprinted on the plastic connector.
The ACCESS port uses a 5-pin connector. To connect to
this port, use the NI485 cable head and the 235015 cable
(see Figure 10). See Figure 11 for how to use the switches
on the NI485 cable.

Universal Inputs
The R683 provides eight universal inputs which are
wired as shown in Figure 12. These inputs are jumper
selectable and may accept the following signals:
Thermistor: 10k Ohm @ 77 °F (Precon type 2).
0-5 VDC: The output impedance of a 0-5 VDC source
should not exceed 10k Ohms. The input impedance of
the R683 is approximately 1M Ohm.
0-20 mA: 24 VDC loop power, 250 Ohm input
impedance. A total of 200mA is supplied to these inputs
for 4-20mA transducer wiring. If the total current
required by all of the transducers is greater than 200mA,
an additional power supply is needed. In order to check
this, measure the voltage between the "B" terminal and
the ground of the module. It should read between 18VDC
and 24VDC. If it reads less than 18VDC then the total
current required is greater than 200mA.
Dry Contact: 0.5 mA maximum sense current.
NOTE: Some current switches which are not true dry
contact closures may not go to zero when the switch is
closed. Any switch which has more than 412 Ohms
effective resistance (0.2 V) when closed must have an
interposing mechanical relay.
NOTE: In most cases, a 4-20 mA passive transducer does
not require an external power supply (see Figure 6). In
some special cases, when the module’s power is limited, a
4-20 mA passive transducer does require and external
power supply to avoid power consumption from the
module.
Table 1
Procedure
NOTE: For ALC room sensors, place a 10 V, 1 W Zener
diode (1N4740A) in series with the sensor (as shown in
Figure 10). If you are unable to obtain these diodes
contact Technical Support.
1. Turn the R683's power switch OFF.
2. Check the sensor wiring for shorts and grounds.
3. Terminate the sensor wires to the proper input
terminals as indicated in Figure 12.
4. Set the input configuration jumper (for each input)
according to the type of sensor required (see
Figure12).
CAUTION: Jumperorientation is critical, see
Figure 13 for proper jumper positioning.
5. Turn the R683's power switch ON.
6. Verify the input by measuring the voltage between
the A terminal of the analog input (see Figure 12)
and the Gnd terminal of the power wiring. Input
voltages should range between 0.489 V and 3.825 V
for thermistors and 1.0 V and 5.0 V for 4-20 mA
devices.
7. Enter the channel number, offset, and gain on the
FB's parameter page (see “Channel Numbers”).

The resistance values of the slidepot in Figure 15
(left column) were obtained by measuring the
resistance of the positions of the slidepot in 1/8
increments (far left, 1/8, 1/4, 3/8... far right).
Note that the slidepot input values (see Figure 15,
right column) are defined with a setpoint-bias rather
than absolute temperatures. The GFB can be
designed to multiply these input values by a user-
definable parameter as the slidepot is adjusted and
then add the result to the zone setpoint. This method
allows you to globally modify the above parameter
for all function blocks in the module instead of
changing the lookup table parameters for each zone.
Figure 15: Example Custom Table for a Sample
Slidepot
(Tested Resistance Entered on the Left)
Figure 14: Example Custom Table for a
Precon Type 3 Thermistor Sensor
Custom Translation Tables
In addition to the inputs already mentioned, it is possible
to create translation tables for non-standard thermistor or
slidepot inputs. Provided on the parameter page of the
R683 module driver (see Parameter Page) are two user
definable tables for translating these inputs.
The following are typical applications for the custom
translation tables:
•Thermistors other than Type 2 (such as Type 3).
•Slide potentiometer inputs.
•Non-linear voltage inputs. (0-5 VDC maximum
range)
These tables use a 10 point linear translation method to
approximate a non-linear curve of resistance or voltage to
the desired units.
Procedure
1. Display the R683 module driver parameter page (FB
#15) in SuperVision.
2. For thermistor, slidepot, and other resistance inputs
set the option "Is input specified in voltage?" to NO.
For voltage inputs, set the option to YES.
3. Determine the accuracy and range needed. Note the
following:
•Values which lie between two defined entries are
interpolated linearly by the FB.
•The first and last entries of the resistance table
should always be set to zero and infinity
(32767x 10 represents infinity) in the event that
the sensor should short or open. In the case of
voltage inputs, the first and last input voltages
should be set to zero and 5 V. These are the
default values.
4. Determine the resistance or voltage at the desired
settings. This information may be obtained either
from manufacturer reference tables or through
testing.
5. Select a custom translation table that is not currently
in use. Record the custom gain from this table for
use when defining inputs which will reference this
custom translation table in the module.
6. Enter the scaled voltage or resistance input on the
left and then enter the corresponding value on the
right (see Figures 14 and 15 for examples).

7. Transfer parameters to this FB.
8. To activate these tables enter the gain of the
translation table used (either 15.00 or 15.06) on the
FB parameter pages that contain the input for which
the table applies. Set the offset to 0.00.
NOTES:
1. The minimum resistance for a setpoint adjust input
on the Enhance Zone Sensor port must be equal to
4.7k Ohms. The minimum range for the slidepot on
the setpoint adjust input must be equal to 5k Ohms.
2. The setpoint input bias parameter for slidepots is
only applicable if the slidepot is connected to the
setpoint adjust input (pin 3 on the Enhance Zone
Sensor, channel 3A.
3. The setpoint input bias parameter for slidepots is
only applicable if the slidepot is connected to the
sepoint adjust input (pins 3 and 1 on the enhanced
sensor connection, channel 3A).
Analog Outputs
The R683 module has three analog outputs. These
outputs may be used in the following modes:
Voltage Mode (0-10 VDC): 1k Ohm minimum load
impedance.
Current Mode (4-20 mA): Although the R683's analog
outputs were designed to output voltage, it is possible to
use these outputs for current mode devices. To do this,
wire a 1/2 Watt resistor in series with the resistive load,
(as shown in Figure 12). The value of the series resistor is
determined as follows:
RSERIES =500Ohms-RLOAD
Example: To drive a 100 Ohm resistive load with a
0-20 mA signal, subtract the load resistance from 500
Ohms:
RSERIES =500Ohms-RLOAD
= 500 Ohms - 100 Ohms
= 400 Ohms
This example is shown in Figure 12.
Procedure
1. Turn the R683's power switch OFF.
2. Terminate the output wiring to the top termination
strip as shown in Figure 12.
3. Turn the R683's power switch ON.
Digital Outputs
The R683 has six digital outputs which can be connected
to a maximum of 24 Volts AC/DC (see Figures 12). The
digital outputs can be configured as dry contact
(normally open) with a contact rating of 3 A (maximum).
Procedure
1. Turn the R683's power switch OFF.
2. Terminate the output wiring to the top termination
strip as shown in Figures 12.
NOTE: Pilot relays should not be powered from the
same transformer which powers the R683.
3. Turn the R683's power switch ON.
By setting the HOA switches (see Figure 1), each digital
output can be placed in ON, OFF, or AUTO mode. The
position of the HOA switches may be monitored through
channels 81-86. Channel 81 corresponds to channel 11,
channel 82 to channel 12, etc. A status of OFF on these
channels indicates the switch is set to AUTO mode. A
status of ON indicates the switch is set to either ON or
OFFmode.
Checkout & Troubleshooting
Checkout is performed using either the Workstation or a
portable computer that is direct-network connected to the
module. To use a portable computer, connect an NI485N
cable to the “ACCESS” connector, located in the lower
right corner of the module (see Figure 10).
NOTE: Do NOT separate the NI485N cable adapter with
the LED on it from the rest of the cable. This adapter
contains circuitry essential for proper communication.
Check each input by manually causing each sensor to
establish a known condition and then comparing it to the
condition reported on the FB's status page.
Check each output by locking it to a known condition on
the FB's parameter page and then observing that
equipment's operation.

Manually Formatting the Module
Manually formatting the module does not require
communication with the module. Use this procedure as a
last resort when there is no communication with the
module. Although down-loading memory overwrites all
existing memory, it requires communication in order to
initiate the transfer.
WARNING: Formattingthemodule erasesall
transferred memory. The Transferring Memory
proceduremustbefollowed afterformatting.
1. Turn the R683's power switch OFF.
2. Set all eight of the R683's address and baud rate dip
switches to the ON position (see Figure 1 for
location).
3. Turn the R683 module's power ON.
4. Watch the LEDs on the R683 go through the
initialization process.
5. Turn the R683's power switch OFF.
6. Set the R683's address and baud rate using the 8-
position dip switch (see Figure 1 for location).
7. Turn the R683 module's power ON. The module is
now formatted.
LEDs
Identification
The R683's LEDs are identified as follows (see Figure 16
for location):
Digital Output Status- lights when output is activated.
Error - lights when a software error is detected.
Run - Blinks to indicate R683 is powered and executing
correctly.
Transmit - lights when the R683 transmits data to the
CMnet or access port.
Receive - lights when the R683 receives data through the
CMnet or access port.
LED Power-up Sequence
During power-up, the module goes through an
initialization and self test sequence. Proper module
power-up may be verified by observing the LEDs as the
module is powered ON.
Shortly after power is applied to the module, the
following sequence occurs:
1. The “Run” and “Error” LEDs will flash.
2. Both LEDs will pause.
3. The “Error” LED will turn off.

4. The “Run” LED will begin its normal operation
(rapid flashing).
NOTE: The "Error" LED will stay OFF unless an error is
encountered or memory has not been transferred, in which
case it will stay ON.
If the module is not responding and the LEDs do not
appear to be going through the appropriate power-up
sequence, call ALC Technical Support for assistance.
Transferring Memory
Use the following procedure to transfer memory to the
R683 module. If any problems occur during this
procedure, contact Technical Support.
1. Log into SuperVision, SuperVision for Windows, or
Vision+ using a Workstation or portable computer
that is directly connected, modem connected, or
connected directly on the ALC network. When
transferring to multiple modules, a direct network
connection will yield the fastest transfer time.
2. Press the [ESC] key and type:
MO ,,(module no.), 15
NOTE: The module number is the same as the
module's address. If the module is on-line and
communicating, this command will bring up the
Modstat page.
3. Look at the Modstat page and verify that the module
type and number agrees with the module to be
transferred.
4. Transfer memory to this module.
·For SuperVision 2.6 and earlier, click on the
Download icon and choose the Memory- This
Module option. Click OK.
5. When the memory transfer is finished, obtain the
Modstat page. Check the screen display's FB List to
verify that the FBs you intended to transfer are in the
module.
Fuses
The R683 module is protected by two (2) 0.5 A pico fuses
on the CMnet (+) and (-) terminals and one (1) 3.0 A pico
fuse on the 24 VAC power terminal. See Figure 17 for the
fuse locations.
A blown fuse could indicate incorrect wiring (such as
reversed polarity) if the fuse is blown during installation.
In most cases, a blown fuse indicates a power surge was
received by the board.
An RMA is not necessary to replace these fuses. The
fuses are socketed and are field-replaceable.
Replacement fuse kits are available from ALC (Part no.
FUSEPKG).
Production Date
The production date of the module can be determined by
a sticker on the back of the module. The first three
characters indicate the type of module. The next three
indicate the date (year/month/week) of manufacture. The
month digit is in hexadecimal. The last four characters
are ALC production codes.
