3.5.5 Wire input and output
Wire the RMC I/O ports to monitor, control and power external devices. Wire for power if the external
device has no external power supply.
To wire the I/O port:
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Refer to the RMC user drawings for I/O wiring details for specific external
devices. See the
Additional
information section.
NOTICE
– Equipment damage. An external device can be powered from pin 1 (PWR) on
any of the AIs (
Tab le 3-3) or from the AO (Tab le 3-4). The output voltage at the PWR pin
depends on the external po
wer supply that connects to the CHARGER/EXT PWR port.
Before connecting to these pins, verify that the external device is compatible with the input
voltage at the CHARGER/EXT PWR port. Connection to an incompatible device can result in
damage to the device
.
1. Pry the terminal connector off the electric board with a slotted screwdriver.
2. Trim the wire covering back ¼ inch (0.635 cm) on each wire.
3. Loosen the terminal connector screws for the correct pin according to I/O tables.
4. Insert the wires in the required pins. If powering the device from the AI or the AO:
• Use pin 1 (PWR) and pin 3 (GND) for devices attached to the AI.
• Use pin 1 (PWR) and pin 4 (GND) for devices attached to the AO.
• Tighten the terminal connector screws.
NOTICE
– Equipment damage. Do not overtighten the terminal connector screws. This
can damage the wire.
5. Insert the terminal connector into the I/O if it was removed.
3.5.5.1 Analog input pinouts
Table 3-3 and Figure 3-6
identify the AI pinouts.
NOTICE
– Equipment damage. Before connecting to pin 1 (PWR), ensure that the
external device is compatible with the input voltage at the CHARGER/EXT PWR port.
Connec
tion to an incompatible device can result in damage to the device.
