1 Description
1.1 Overview
EliteIQ is a state-of-the-art Remote Telemetry Unit (RTU), Controller and Alarm Notification and Reporting system
that provides the following:
• Continuous monitoring of up to 48 dry contact inputs, relay outputs or analog inputs in any combination, or
up to 72 Modbus RTU registers
• Historical viewing and reporting of data on the web via a cloud-based application
• Complete programming locally through the keypad or a directly connected PC
• Event and data logging
• Event-based control of local or remote relays based on changing digital and analog values
• Field-installable I/O options
1.1.1 Alarm Capabilities
By programming specific settings in the EliteIQ, you define what conditions constitute an alarm and what action to
perform when an alarm condition occurs. Actions supported by the EliteIQ include the following:
•Setting relays for local control or alarm annunciation
•Sending data to the web-based RemoteIQ system to deliver text, voice or email notifications
•Setting local LEDs to alert personnel that channels are in alarm
So, the EliteIQ is your complete 24-hour a day, 7-day a week monitoring and notification system that allows you to
turn your operations into unattended operations.
1.1.2 Control Capabilities
The EliteIQ is a complete stand-alone controller capable of turning relays on and off based on a number of
conditions. These conditions can be grouped together so that when any of them are met, the appropriate relay is
activated or deactivated.
Conditions on which relays can be activated or deactivated are as follows:
•A digital input changing state
•A totalizer or time duration counter reaching a specified limit
•An analog input transitioning from the Normal state to the High Alarm state
•An analog input transitioning from the High Alarm state to the Normal state
•An analog input transitioning from the Normal state to the Low Alarm state
•An analog input transitioning from the Low Alarm state to the Normal state
•An analog input exceeding a Positive or Negative Rate of Change limit
•A command from a SCADA system via the Modbus RTU interface

2 Installation and Setup
2.1 Overview
This section of the manual provides information on installing the EliteIQ and confirming its initial operation.
Performing a proper installation ensures the correct operation of the EliteIQ for maximum life.
Please read this entire section before starting the installation process.
2.2 What is the Installation Process?
Installation consists of the following steps:
1. Unpacking the Equipment
2. Mounting the Equipment
3. Connecting the Main Power
4. Connecting the Input and Output Cards
5. Testing the System
Each step is described in detail in the remainder of this section.
2.2.1 Unpacking the Equipment
The EliteIQ is shipped with the following:
• The EliteIQ in either a NEMA 4X plastic enclosure or metal enclosure
• A set of I/O cards installed
• An installed backup battery
• User Manual and Quick Reference Guide
2.2.1.1 Operating Environment
The EliteIQ should be installed in an environment that is not subject to shock or vibration. The operating
temperature of the EliteIQ is -40 to 185 ºF (-40 to 85 ºC).
2.2.2 Mounting the Equipment
WARNING
A LOCK MUST BE INSTALLED SECURING THE COVER TO PREVENT NON-SERVICE TRAINED
PERSONNEL FROM GAINING ACCESS TO THE INTERNAL ELECTRICAL CIRCUITRY OF THE
ELITEIQ.
The EliteIQ is available in a NEMA 4X enclosure or a panel/flush mount enclosure.

Figure 3: Flush Mount Dimensions (Hole Cutout)
To mount the enclosure:
1. Mount the unit using the six wall-mounting holes on the outside edge of the enclosure.
2. Use mounting hardware appropriate for the type of wall surface. Be sure the hardware and the surface are
strong enough to handle the weight of the unit (25 lb).
2.2.3 Connecting the Main Power
The EliteIQ operates on 100 to 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz, using 1.5 A at 115 VAC or 0.7 A at 230 VAC. There are no
selections required by the user to select the input power. The main AC is connected to the EliteIQ using the AC
terminal block located inside the unit.
The terminal block is labeled as follows:
•L = Line (black)
•G = Ground (green or green/yellow)
•N = Neutral (white)

Figure 4: AC Power Wiring
For the NEMA enclosure, you must drill an access hole to bring the wires into the unit. The access hole should be
drilled on either the bottom or the side of the enclosure.
WARNING
BE SURE TO LOOK INSIDE THE UNIT PRIOR TO DRILLING SO THAT YOU CAN BE SURE
THERE IS SUFFICIENT CLEARANCE FOR THE HOLE AND THE FITTING THAT YOU ARE USING.
2.2.3.1 AC Wire Size
The AC line wire should be 16 AWG or heavier wire.
2.2.3.2 Proper Grounding
The EliteIQ must be earth-grounded by connecting a true earth ground to the ground terminal designated by the
symbol.
Note: The Ground (green or green/yellow) wire should be at least 2 inches longer than the other wires as a
safety precaution in case the line cord is pulled out of the unit.
Power surge protection is especially important if the equipment is located in a lightning-prone area. Contact
Cattron at www.cattron.com/contact for additional information on surge protection offerings.
Note: Lightning damage is not covered under warranty.
CAUTION
FAILURE TO SUPPLY A GOOD EARTH GROUND FOR THE AC POWER CAUSES THE ELITEIQ’S
INTERNAL SURGE AND LIGHTNING PROTECTION TO BE INEFFECTIVE.
2.2.3.3 Optional DC Power Connection
For applications where standard AC power is not available, the EliteIQ can be powered by an external DC power
source, as described in the following table.
