power connection inside the instrument.
CAUTION
Fire hazard. Relay loads must be resistive. Always limit current to the relays with an external fuse or
breaker. Obey the relay ratings in the Specifications section.
If the instrument has the optional relay card, the instrument has four non-powered, double-pole
relays. Each relay changes state when the selected trigger condition for the relay occurs.
The relay terminals are located behind a high-voltage barrier in the controller enclosure. Do not
remove the barrier while power is supplied to the relay terminals. Do not supply power to the relay
terminals when the barrier is not installed.
Connect each relay to a control device or an alarm device as necessary. Refer to the illustrated steps
that follow and Table 4 to connect the relays. Use the mobile application to select the trigger
condition for each relay.
Refer to Specifications on page 3 for the relay specifications. The relays are isolated from each other
and the low-voltage input/output circuitry.
The relay terminals accept 15 AWG wire (as determined by load application). Use wire with an
insulation rating of 300 VAC or higher. Wire gauge other than 15 AWG is not recommended.
The current to the relay contacts must be 5 A or less. Make sure to have a second switch available to
remove power from the relays locally in case of an emergency or for maintenance.
When switching large inductive loads (e.g., motors and pumps) or currents higher than 5 A, use an
auxiliary relay to extend the relay life.
Use the relays at either all high voltage (greater than 30 V-RMS and 42.2 V-PEAK or 60 VDC) or all
low voltage (less than 30 V-RMS and 42.2 V-PEAK, or less than 60 VDC). Do not configure a
combination of both high and low voltage.

Modbus TCP/IP expansion
Modbus TCP/IP is a standard for industrial communications. The Modbus TCP/IP protocol connects
computers to measurement and control systems that use the TCP/IP protocol for data transmission.
This type of data transmission is known as machine to machine (M2M) communication.
The Modbus TCP/IP software module enables the controller to be integrated directly in
programmable logic controller (PLC) systems. PLC systems record and process the controller
measured data. The data analysis and the procedures caused by the results are programmed in the
PLC system.
Note: To use the Modbus TCP/IP software module, make sure that there is no Modbus card installed on the
controller.
Connect the controller to the external USB box. Refer to the documentation supplied with the USB
box. It is possible to daisy chain controllers. Refer to Figure 12. When a modem or WiFi stick is
connected at the USB box, this channel connects the controller to the internet. Thus, it is not possible
to connect the controller with the modem to the internet and to operate Modbus TCP with WiFi at the
same time; the USB box has only one USB slot. In such situation, Modbus TCP/IP can only operate
with the ethernet LAN connector (ethernet M12 connector). Table 7 shows the Internet and Modbus
TCP/IP possible connections combinations.
When only one controller is used, only the right M12 connector is used to connect to the PLC/internet
(left connector is not used). When daisy chain is used, always connect the right M12 connector with
the left M12 connector of the next controller. The daisy chained controller connected to PLC/internet
uses the right M12 connector for PLC/internet connection.
