Wiring devices to the RTU Open's Rnet port
The Rnet communicates at a rate of 115 kbps and should be wired in a daisy-chain or hybrid configuration.
Supports:
• Up to 5 ZS sensors
• One Wireless Adapter that communicates with up to 5 wireless sensors
• One Equipment Touch
• One TruVu™ ET Display
ZS sensors, a Wireless Adapter, and an Equipment Touch can share the Rnet, but not SPT sensors.

To wire ZS sensors to the controller
ZS Sensors are thermistor-based temperature sensors that may optionally sense humidity, CO
2
, or VOC. ZS
Sensors are wired to the Rnet port on i-Vu® Open controllers.
You can use the following ZS sensors:
• ZS Standard
• ZS Plus
• ZS Pro
The ZS CO2 model uses 190 mA during sample period. Use auxiliary 12 Vdc, unless it is the only device on
the Rnet port.
