3. Product Introduction
3.1 Working Principle
The Remote Control Unit (RCU) is a controller that uses RS-485 communication to read and
control connected instruments/ sensors. All data received are displayed on the RCU. The
RCU, as a Middle Master, can transfer the data to the PC. Smart and easy-to-use, the RCU
allows users to efficiently revise parameters of instruments/ sensors and then monitor.With
ModBus Potocol and FineTek’s unique Auto ID, the RCU is designed to be used in any of our
company’s sensors.
3.2 Application
May be used indoors, not limited to the control center room. It can also be used
outdoors the temperature is within -40℃~85℃.
The RCU can be connected to a maximum of 128 sensors.
The RCU can monitor the operation status of all connected sensors in real time,
including Alarm.
The RCU has a variety of functions for easy setting, which allows users to set
parameters of all connected sensors simultaneously instead of one-by-one.。
3.3 Product Features
Utilizes ModBus Potocol and FineTek unique Auto ID.
Driven by a microprocessor, user-friendly with complete functions.
Power Input: 20~250Vdc/ Vac.
Communication interface: RS-485.

LCM（Graphic: 128x64 Dots）
LED Indicators: Master (Red): Normal connection with the sensor.
Slave (Red): Normal connection with the PC.
ZigBee (Red): Normal connection with the sensor via ZigBee (lights off when Master is
on)
Alarm (Red): Alarm signals detected
Effective communication range: 200 meters
Two units of RS-485.
User setting adjustability.
Region of Interest (ROI) function: allows users to filter or set the sensor.

4.4 Communication Interface Description
4.4.1 RS-485
Application range: RCU basic communication uses RS 485 wired communication with
maximum transmission distance of 200 meters.
4.5 Alarm Alert Description
The relay will detect the abnormal status of all sensors connected to the RCU. The
abnormal status is defined by the sensor. For example, when the hammer is connected,
it will detect any abnormal status during embedding, disconnection, feed protection etc.
The relay will trigger the alarm when the sensor RS 485 communication is disconnected.

6. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
6.1 Installation Location
6.1.1 Choose a location where sunlight will not directly fall on the RCU as it may result in user
being unable to read the LCD panel clearly.
遮蔽物
6.1.2 A proper shelter from rain is needed. Continuous corrosion from rain will cause
deterioration and permeation of water.
遮蔽物
6.2 How to Install
The interfaces in the network must be consistent.
shelter or concrete wall
shelter or concrete wall

6.3 PRECAUTIONS
Adding new sensors into the network requires the RCU to re-scan hardware.
(Parameters under ROI will be cleared accordingly.)
The cable must pass through the outlet connector, and the nut tightened to meet
protection standards.
Make sure that every screw on the RCU body is securely tightened, or pressure
differences may cause dust to enter.
Avoid opening the cover unless there is an emergency.

Soft lead wires of 0.75mm2are highly recommended, as hard lead wires may
damage the PCB. Single-core wires or 7-strand wires are not allowed as they
are too hard and may damage the circuit board. The power wires and signal
wires should be separated. The signal wires should be isolated cables.
The stripped length of the wire should not be too long as it may cause short
circuit. The stripped part should be crimped with solder or needle-shaped
insulated terminals. There should be no branching that may cause a short
circuit.
Each wire/ cable needs to be clearly marked and connected correctly. Any
error may cause injury or mechanical damage.
