To wire an external power supply to the expander
An external power supply is required to power the expander.
WARNING Do not apply line voltage (mains voltage) to the controller's ports and terminals.
CAUTIONS
•The TV-UCXPIO48 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.
•Carrier controllers can share a power supply as long as you:
•Maintain the same polarity.
•Use the power supply only for Carrier controllers.
To wire the power supply to the expander
1 Make sure the TV-UCXPIO48’s power switch is in the OFF (down) position to prevent it from powering up
before you can verify the correct voltage.
2 Remove power from the power supply.
3 Pull the red screw terminal connector from the expander's power terminals labeled 24 V (+/-).
4 Connect the power supply's wires to the red screw terminal connector.
5 Connect an 18 AWG or larger wire from the power supply's negative (-) terminal to earth ground. This wire
must not exceed 12 in. (30.5 cm).

Outputs
The TV-UCXPIO48's universal outputs can be set as analog or binary on their two DIP switches.
The expanders' outputs return to their unconfigured state if they are removed from the program or the program is
deleted from the controller. Also, outputs time out and return to their unconfigured or off state after two minutes of
inactivity. The unconfigured state results in:
•Not running control programs that are due to download
•Losing power to the controller, but not the expander
NOTE This does not apply to outputs that have been locked in the i-Vu® application.
Analog outputs
Outputs set up as analog can be used for:
•0-10 Vdc devices
•0-20 mA devices
WARNING Do not apply voltage to any output whose DIP switch is set to Analog.
If output controls a...
Resistance to ground must be...
0–10 Vdc device 500 Ohms minimum
0–20 mA device 500 Ohms maximum
NOTE The device must share the same ground as the expander.
Binary outputs
The outputs have a built-in relay and provide a dry contact so an external voltage source must be wired to one of
the two terminals.
Outputs set up as binary can be used to switch external devices and relays up to 1A, 30 Vac/Vdc.

An input or output must be assigned to its corresponding point in the control program. This is typically done when
the control program is created, but you can adjust the settings at the time of installation in the i-Vu® interface.
1 In the i-Vu® User tab, select the equipment controlled by the TV-UCXPIO48.
2 On the Properties page, select the I/O Points tab.
3 For each point, type the expander's rotary switch address in the Exp field and the number of the expander's
corresponding input or output in the Num field.
EXAMPLE If UO-01 on the TV-UCXPIO48 (which has a rotary switch address of 1) is used for the point Fan
S/S, enter 1:1 in the Exp:Num column for Fan S/S.
NOTEDo not assign the same output number to more than one point.
4 Enter the appropriate values for each input and output in the remaining columns. See Input values, Output
values, Resolution values and Offset/Polarity values below.
CAUTION Do not assign two input microblocks to the same physical input using Dry Contact in one and
Binary Input in the other. This results in faulty behavior.
5 If you have not performed the initial download to the attached controller, you must download now to verify
inputs and outputs.
6 To verify each input's operation, force each sensor to a known value, then compare it to the Value shown on
the Properties page on the I/O Points tab.
7 To verify each output's operation, lock each output to a known condition on the I/O Points tab, then verify that
the equipment operates correctly.

1The sensor reads a value and sends a corresponding signal (Volt or mA) to the TV-UCXPIO48's physical input. The
Analog Input microblock uses the Min and Max values to linearly translate the signal into the engineering value
used in subsequent control logic. For example, set Min to 0 and Max to 10 for a 4–20 mA sensor that measures
velocity from 0.0 to 10.0 inches/second so that when the input reads 4 mA, the microblock outputs a value of 0.
Similarly, when the input reads 8 mA, the microblock outputs a value of 2.5.
2You can set up a custom translation table on the driver's Custom Translation Tables pages in the i-Vu® interface.
3 The control program must have one Pulse to Analog Input microblock for each pulse counting input.
4To improve the accuracy for RTD sensors used with long cables, see Offset/Polarity values (page 19).
5Binary Input and Dry Contact input types are not interchangeable. Setting an input to Dry Contact applies a
wetting voltage to sense a dry contact. Setting an input to Binary Input will not apply a wetting voltage.
