Introduction
This manual contains technical documentation which allows for easy installation and use of the
RTCU AX9i eco product. For information on the programming and software configuration of the
product please refer to the RTCU IDE documentation.
The RTCU AX9i eco has been designed from the ground up for professional wireless industrial
applications with its strong on-board I/O capabilities and multiple communication interfaces such
as: 1-Wire, RS232 and USB. For world-wide usage in any network environment the RTCU AX9i eco
offers a full quad-band GSM engine with a switchable dual antenna design supporting both an on-
board as well as an external GSM antenna.
The RTCU AX9i eco is based on the X32 Execution Architecture offering high performance and a
large memory capacity for both program and data - meeting the requirements of today’s most
demanding and sophisticated M2M/IoT applications.
The RTCU AX9i eco rests on the RTCU M2M Platform that brings all the necessary tools together
to develop, implement and maintain today’s sophisticated M2M/IoT applications.
The development task is supported by the free RTCU I E development environment
complimented by a large and comprehensive documentation and application example library.
The RTCU Gateway 2 is the corner-stone of the communication infrastructure ensuring reliable
two-way device communication in any network environment.
Deploying and maintaining new application and firmware versions for devices in the field are
handled by the powerful RTCU eployment Server.
For detailed information on the powerful RTCU M2M Platform, please refer to the
RTCU M2M Platform datasheet.

Connection Overview
Connections to external equipment are done via large and easy-to-use screw terminal blocks which
are accessible when the lid is removed. The placement of the terminals makes installation easy
using the PG glands and thereby maintaining the IP-67 protection.
The RTCU AX9i eco is delivered with three PG11 glands and additional two PG9 blind plugs that
can be replaced with PG9 glands if additional cable entry capacity should be required.
The stacked terminals contain connections for: digital inputs/outputs, analog inputs and DC power
input.
The angled terminals contain connections for the communication interfaces: RS232 Port 1 and 1-
Wire.
Also located inside the RTCU AX9i eco are the SIM card reader, DIP switches and a USB-B high-
speed programming connector.

Power supply
The RTCU AX9i eco unit can be supplied with either 85-265VAC (50/60Hz) or 8-36VDC or both
supply types simultaneously.
The RTCU AX9i eco also contains an internal low capacity backup battery, which will supply the
RTCU if the external power should fail or be disconnected. By default the RTCU AX9i eco is
powered down when a power fail occur. This setting however can be changed. Please consult the
RTCU-IDE on-line help for more information.
When the wakeup/ignition input is activated with a logical high, the RTCU AX9i eco unit will
wake up if it was in power down mode.
There are five different ground labels: External Ground (XGND), Signal Ground (SGND), Digital
Ground (GND), Analog Ground (AGND) and AC power ground (PE). The signal, digital and
analog grounds are filtered from the power ground. The signal, digital and analog grounds are
filtered from the power ground. External ground must only be used as DC power supply return
path. The digital ground is used as ground reference for digital I/O’s, signal ground is used as
ground reference for serial interfaces, and the analog ground is used as a low noise analog ground
reference for the analog inputs.
ual Supply Note:
The RTCU AX9i eco unit can be supplied with both VAC and VDC at the same time. The unit will
run on the VAC supply if the VDC supply voltage is < +16VDC. If the VDC supply voltage is
higher it will run on the VDC supply.
Please refer to the RTCU on-line help for information on how to check the supply type from within
an application.
