REAR TERMINAL CONNECTIONS
Timing Inputs
Terminal#2 is the connectionfor Input A, which is the start signal for
timeaccumulation. Thecommonconnection forInputAisTerminal#3.
Control/Digital Inputs
AcontactclosureorNPN signalcanbeusedtoactivatepreconfigured
functionality. Terminal#5isused for a remotereset function, while
Terminal#6isasecurityfunction,thatwhenactive,willprohibitentry
into Program Mode. Terminal #8 serves as the common for both of these
inputs.
Auxiliary Power Output
A 9 - 15 VDC for powering external sensors up to 125 mA can be
accessedbyconnectingthepositivesupplysideofthesensortoTerminal
#4and the negative side toTerminal #8.
Input Power
For an AC powered unit, Terminal #13 serves as the line or Hot side
connectionforACpowered units andasthepositive side for DCpowered
units. Theneutral side for AC poweredunits and the negative side for
DCpoweredunitsareconnectedtoTerminal#14.
Terminals 1, 9, 10, 11, 12, 15, 22, 23, & 24
are not used.
Transistor Outputs
Yourunit comes standard withanNPN output whichis activated bythe
preset. Transistor Output 1, which is tied to the Set Value, is on
Terminal#7. Terminal #8 servesas the commonconnectionfor the
transistoroutput.
Relay Outputs
Your unit comes standard with a relay output which is tied to the Set
Value. Terminal #19 is NC,Terminal #20 is common, and Terminal #21
is NO.
Serial Communication
AnRS-485communicationboard,utilizingASCIIprotocol,canbe
installed as an option. Terminals #16 & #17 serve as the B and A
connectionsrespectively,whileTerminal#18isconnectedasthe
