To wire the controller for power
CAUTIONS
•The RTU Open is powered by a Class 2 power source. Take appropriate isolation measures when mounting it
in a control panel where non-Class 2 circuits are present.
•Do not power pilot relays from the same transformer that powers the RTU Open.
•Carrier controllers can share a power supply as long as you:
○Maintain the same polarity
○Use the power supply only for Carrier controllers
•The RTU Open has an operating range of 21.6 Vac to 26.4 Vac. If voltage measured at the RTU Open's input
terminals is outside this range, the RTU Open may not work properly.

•Avoid running communication wires or sensor input wires next to AC power wires or the controller's relay
output wires. The resulting noise can affect signal quality. Common sources of noise are:
○Spark igniters
○Radio transmitters
○Variable speed drives
○Electric motors (> 1hp)
○Generators
○Relays
○Transformers
○Induction heaters
○Large contactors (i.e., motor starters)
○Video display devices
○Lamp dimmers
○Fluorescent lights
•In most cases, the RTU Open will be powered from the control power transformer provided with the rooftop
equipment. If you must use a separate control power transformer, additional precautions must be taken to
ensure that the auxiliary transformer is in-phase with the rooftop equipment’s control power transformer. See
Using an auxiliary control power transformer (page 9).
To use the rooftop equipment control power transformer
1 Remove power from the 24 Vac transformer.
2 Remove connector assembly from RTU Open's J1 connector.
3 If the rooftop equipment has thermostat connection terminals, connect wiring harness J1 wire 1 to R, and J1
wire 3 to C. Alternately, connect the control power transformer wires to J1 connector wires 1 (24 Vac) and 3
(Gnd).
4 Apply power to the rooftop equipment.
5 Measure the voltage at the RTU Open’s J1 terminals 1 and 3 to verify that the voltage is within the operating
range of 21.6–26.4 Vac.
6 Attach harness to RTU Open connector J1.
NOTE The harness and connector are keyed and must be oriented properly for correct installation.
7 Verify that the Power LED is on and the Run LED is blinking.

To use an auxiliary control power transformer
If you use a separate control power transformer, it is essential that the auxiliary transformer and the rooftop
transformer are in-phase. You must verify this prior to connecting the auxiliary transformer to the RTU Open.
Follow these steps:
1 Verify the available primary voltage at the rooftop equipment.
2 Remove power from the rooftop equipment and install the appropriate auxiliary transformer. Follow the
manufacturer’s installation instructions.
3 Ground one leg of the auxiliary transformer’s secondary wiring.
4 Apply power to the rooftop equipment. Measure the potential between the rooftop equipment control power
and auxiliary transformer's secondary hot (non-grounded) legs. If the voltage measured is less than 5 volts,
the transformers are in-phase; proceed to step 7. If you measure a voltage greater than 24 Vac, then the
phases are reversed.
5 Correct the phase reversal by either of the following methods:
○Remove the ground from the secondary at the auxiliary transformer and connect it to the other
secondary
○Reverse the primary wiring at the auxiliary transformer
6 Repeat step 4 to rewire.
7 Remove connector assembly from RTU Open's J1 connector.
8 Connect the auxiliary transformer wires to J1 wires 1 (24 Vac) and 3 (Gnd).
9 Apply power to the transformer.
10 Measure the voltage at the RTU Open’s J1 - 1and 3to verify that the voltage is within the operating range of
21.6–26.4 Vac.
11 Attach harness to RTU Open's connector J1. See illustration below.
NOTE The harness connectors are keyed and must be oriented properly for correct installation.
12 Verify that the Power LED is on and the Run LED is blinking.

To set the controller's address
The RTU Open's two rotary switches determine the RTU Open's MAC address when it is placed on an MS/TP
network. The rotary switches define the MAC address portion of the RTU Open's BACnet device instance number,
which is composed of the MS/TP network number and the MAC address. They also set the slave address on a
Modbus or N2 network when less than 100. See the RTU Open Integration Guide for additional information on
integration.
1 Turn off the RTU Open's power. The controller reads the address each time you apply power to it.
2 Using the rotary switches, set the MSB (SW1) (10's) switch to the tens digit of the address, and set the LSB
(SW2) (1's) switch to the ones digit.
EXAMPLE To set the RTU Open’s address to 01, point the arrow on the MSB (SW1) switch to 0 and the arrow
on the LSB (SW2) switch to 1.

3 Turn on the RTU Open's power.
CAUTION The factory default setting is 00 and must be changed to successfully install your RTU Open. The
MAC address of the controller must be unique on its network.
To set the controller's communications protocol and baud rate
RTU Open's SW3 DIP switches are used to set the controller's protocol and baud rate. The protocol and speed
selection is determined by the network on which the controller will be installed. For Carrier BACnet
implementations, select MS/TP @ 76.8 k as follows:
1 Power down the RTU Open. The controller reads the protocol and baud rate each time you apply power to it.
2 Set SW3 DIP switches 1, 2, and 4 to On to configure the controller for BACnet MS/TP and 76.8 k baud.
3 Power up the RTU Open.
NOTE Other protocols and baud rates are available. See the RTU Open Integration Guide for additional
instructions.

Description
1, 2
4-20 mA
The input resistance on the positive (+) terminal is 250 Ohms.
The Aux Power Out terminal is capable of supplying 24 Vdc to a
4-20 mA transducer, but the total current demanded must not
exceed 40 mA. If the voltage measured from the Aux Power Out
terminal to Gnd is less than 18 Vdc, you need to use an external
power supply.

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 outputs
The RTU Open has 2 analog outputs that support voltage or current devices.
AO-1 - 2-10 Vdc or 4-20 mA (Configure on jumper J3)
AO-2 - 0-10 Vdc or 2-10 Vdc
NOTE The controlled device must share the same ground as the controller. When used as a 4-20 mA output, the
load must have an input impedance of 500 Ohms or less. If the output is used as a voltage type output, then the
load impedance must be 10K ohms or greater.
