3.1 Warnings
Attention
The device must be installed in compliance with the relevant DIN/VDE
regulations or the relevant national standards. The connection to the
supply voltage must be performed in accordance with VDE 0100 and VDE
0160 or the relevant national standard Installation should perform by
qualified and technical experienced personnel only.
CAUTION
At the connections of the input channel (Fig. 1.1, terminal 7) and the power
supply (terminals 8) 12~24VDC main voltage with load guard band is
accessible. The installation of the unit therefore has to be effected in a

4.2 Operation and Display Elements
The1201L-1K RTD Controller is fitted with a service button accessible via
a small gap on the front panel (see Figure. 1.1, 6).Activation of the buttons
generates a service-pin message transmitted via the LonWorks network.
The processor status as well as the service-pin status are displayed by the
service LED (figure. 1.1,2), which is on while the service button is activated.
By use the network management function Wink the service LED flashes.
Furthermore the1201L-1K RTD Controller is fitted with a reset LED (figure.
1.1, 1) same as Power indicator, displaying the availability of device occur

5 Application Software for Building Automation Control
On the1201L-1K RTD Controller an application for building automation control
is implemented, making output functionality as well as analog control functions
available.
Therefore the relevant LonMark profiles stated in Table 4.1 are implemented.
The use of network variables (NV) compiles with the LonMark standard.
SCPT’s are used for parameterization by applying the read/write-memory
method.
