3.2 Installation
3.2.1 General Wiring Information
All the connectors in RD-24 are spring tightening (*excluding the Analog Input board) and will accept wire from 14 to 24 AWG.
To connect the wires to terminals, press down the white button of the connector (use flat-headed screwdriver), insert bare wire
into respective wire cavity of the connector and release the white button. Ensure that the wire cannot be easily pulled from the
connector. Refer to Figure 3-2 - below for location of different connectors in RD-24.
*The Analog Input board has 4 screw-terminal connectors.
3.2.2 Power Connection
The power connections to the RD-24 should be size AWG18 (minimum) for short runs. For longer runs, follow recommended
power wire gauge guidelines. Match the polarity for power connection.

MacurcoTM Macurco RD-24 Manual
REV –1.0.0 [34-8708-4770-1] 6 |P a g e
3.2.3 RS-485 Communication Connection
For RS-485 or communication connection it is recommended to always use a twisted wire to reduce noise and allow for reliable
data communication over greater distances. For best performance use shielded 3-conductor wire with one twisted pair
providing a pair for signal (A & B), common (COM) and shield ground (SHD) connection.
NOTE: Running the RS-485 cable adjacent to or in the same conduit with high voltage wires is not recommended as there may
be interference from the high voltages.
The RD-24 provides integral termination for end of line resistors (EOL). The termination uses a 4-pin connector (labeled J8) to
select termination. Place the EOL jumper on one of the following positions:
•NU = No termination (default)
•120 = 120 Ohm
•100 = 100 Ohm

4Operations
4.1 Power up
Power LED will light up green to indicate the unit is operational. TX LED will flash blue to indicate the unit is communicating.
Slot 1, Slot 2, Slot 3 and Slot 4 will light up green when corresponding relay is activated/populated. Refer to Figure 3-3 above for
location of Slot 1-4.
4.2 Initial Operating Mode
4.2.1 RD-24 Settings
The DIP switches are used to set the Modbus address and are also used to change the communication settings. Valid Modbus
addresses for RD-24 are from 193 to 200 where switch 1 is the least significant bit (LSB) and switch 8 is the most significant bit
(MSB). Address 254 is used to place the RD-24 in programming mode. Address 255 is used to refresh the configuration of the
RD-24.
4.2.2 Programming Mode
When the RD-24 is powered with address set to 254, it enters programming mode. The STATUS LED will be flashing RED and
GREEN alternatively every 200 milliseconds to indicate that RD-24 is ready and waiting for the user to enter new communication
settings using 8 dip switches. Using the 8 dip switches, the user can change the communication settings like baud rate and
parity.
When looking at the switches with “Address” marking on top, the switches are defined from left to right.
•Switch 8, switch 7 and switch 6 are used to modify baud rate
•Switch 5 and switch 4 are used to modify parity
•Switch 1 is used to request to save the new settings
•Switches 3 and 2 are unused and should be left in the ON position.

Set the switches to the desired value and then set switch 1 to ON and then OFF, and the new settings will be saved
in EEPROM.
The result of saving operation is displayed on STATUS LED. Alternating GREEN/OFF every 200 milliseconds indicates
saving new settings passed and alternating RED/OFF every 200 milliseconds indicates that saving new settings failed.
Once the new settings have passed, disconnect power from the unit, set the address for the device using the
address switches and apply power back to unit.
4.2.3 Configuration Refresh
Upon initial installation, or when the user would like to change the RD-24 configuration (move, swap, or change
expansion board type or locations), the following process must be followed. Before making any changes, power off
the RD-24. Next, make the preferred changes to the RD-24 configuration. After, set the dip switch address to 255 and
power on the RD-24 for at least 3 seconds. The LED below the dip switch should blink green rapidly. After at least 3
seconds, power off the RD-24. Using the dip switch, change the address back to its original setting, or a number
between 193 and 200. Power on the RD-24. Last, navigate in the DVP-1200 menu CONFIGURE SYSTEM →MANUAL
CONFIGURE →CONFIG. RLYS,SIGNALS,SENSORS,REM. DEV. →REMOTE DEVICES. Select the Remote Device and delete
it from the DVP-1200. If the RD-24 is still powered on, the DVP-1200 will automatically find it back and update the
configuration. If the DVP-1200 does not find the device after 60 seconds, power cycle the panel and check again.

Figure 4-5 –Zone 4-20mA Output Number Menu
NOTE: Oxygen sensor readings are excluded for 4-20mA output i.e., oxygen sensor readings are not considered while
computing output value for 4-20mA output.
Next, the output mode can be set to PEAK or SCALE.
PEAK –In this mode, the gas reading active in the zone (except for oxygen) corresponding to highest mA output is
used to control the analog output assigned to the specific zone. In this case, any active gas reading, that is part of
the zone will be taken into consideration, and the sensor reading corresponding to highest mA output will be used
to control the analog output. E.g. If a CO and NO2 sensor is assigned to a zone and CO Sensor reading is 50ppm
(which corresponds to 8mA) and NO2 sensor reading is 10.0ppm (which corresponds to 12mA) then the 4-20mA or
“Analog”output assigned to the zone will output 12mA.
SCALE –In this mode, the 4-20mA value for all detectors added to a zone are computed (for all sensor types except
oxygen), and the output is the average of the 4-20mA value for all detectors assigned to the zone. E.g. If a CO and
NO2 sensor is assigned to a zone and CO Sensor reading is 50ppm (which corresponds to 8mA) and NO2 sensor
reading is 10.0ppm (which corresponds to 12mA) then the 4-20mA or “Analog”output assigned to the zone will
output 10mA.
To select the output mode for 4-20mA output, select OUTPUT MODE from the 4-20 O/P menu and press ENTER.
Then, select PEAK or SCALE from the 4-20 O/P MODE menu and press ENTER. The display will return to the 4-20 O/P
menu and the output mode selection will be updated as shown in Figure 4-29.
When the status of the zone is TROUBLE then 4-20mA output assigned to corresponding zone will switch the output
to 20mA.

4.3.1.3 Configure 4-20mA Input or Analog Input
Analog Inputs read gas sensors connected to RD-24 and will work the same as digital sensors readings, which
are the sensors with MRS-485 connected to DVP-1200 through the RS-485 network using the Modbus
protocol.
Sensors connected to RD-24 should be displayed to the user as “RD-24 #address.#analog_input”.
#analog_input has a range from 1 to 16, as each RD-24 can have up to 4 expansion boards connected, and
each analog input expansion board has 4 analog inputs.
DVP-1200 has the capability to connect to up to 192 sensors. By default, DVP-1200 is configured to connect
to 192 digital sensors.
Each RD-24 that is discovered by DVP-1200 and has analog inputs will cause the controller to internally map
the RD-24 analog inputs to one of the 192 sensors and automatically adjust the limit of digital sensors that
can be connected to the controller.
The sensor mapping will be done from top to bottom. It grows from sensor #192 all the way to 128.
By default, DVP-1200 allocates space to connect to 192 digital sensors. If an RD-24 with analog inputs is
connected to the controller, DVP-1200 will automatically allocate sensor addresses from the list of 192 in the
following order:
-The first RD-24 connected to DVP-1200 will occupy sensor addresses 177 thru 192 in order and as needed.
For example: Slot 1, input 1 will occupy address 177 and Slot 4, input 4 will occupy address 192.
-The second RD-24 connected to DVP-1200 will occupy sensor addresses 161 thru 176 in order and as
needed.
-The third RD-24 connected to DVP-1200 will occupy sensor addresses 145 thru 160 in order and as needed
-The fourth RD-24 connected to DVP-1200 will occupy sensor addresses 129 thru 144 in order and as needed
NOTE: The addresses have been allocated to the exact locations as described –they do not change based on the
number of analog input expansion boards installed into any number of RD-24 units. For a full list of
addresses and slot designations, see “Remote Device I/O Chart” below.

6.4 Multipurpose command
Multipurpose command uses 2 bytes, and can be used on the following situations:
•Control all relays of a remote driver (RD-24) device.
•Control all analog outputs of remote drivers with same value.
•Control remote drivers with analog outputs and relays with same output values for relays and same output
values for analog outputs.
•Command to prevent a failsafe timeout when there is no change in the state of the outputs.

Apply to all 4 modules in the remote device, bit11 sets the state of the relays and
bits10-0 analog value to be used by DACs (Analog Outputs)
bit12
Each remote driver can have up to 4 modules connected. Each module has two relays
or two Analog outputs. Bit12 defines which output to be controlled 0 –output1, 1-
output 2
bit11
Defines the state of relays, 0 –OFF, and 1 - ON
bit10
Value to be written to the analog output (DAC). 0 –2000. 0 = 0mA, 2000 = 20mA
Value to be written to relays. bits7-0.
