Remote Occupancy 
Remote occupancy
 may be configured on any unused binary input channel. A typical application is a remote 
contact, controlled by a third party, or an occupancy sensor to set the controller's occupied mode. The 
 function requires both an input configured for 
, and 
 set to 
 to operate. 
Once configured, the controller will operate in the occupied or unoccupied mode, as determined by the state of 
the 
input. 
 
 
 
Fire Shutdown 
Fire Shutdown 
may be configured on Binary Input 5. A typical application involves a smoke detector or fire 
shutdown contact, which, when active, immediately shuts down equipment operation. 
 
 
 
Compressor Safety 
Compressor Safety
 may be configured on Binary Input 3. A compressor safety tripped indicator circuit is available 
on most Carrier rooftop equipment. 
A

 and indicates that the 
equipment requires attention. 
Cooling, heating, and supply fan outputs are not interrupted except where the RTU Open is configured for Heat 
Pump operation. When configured for Heat Pump, and in the heating mode, a compressor safety fault will cause 
the available stages of electric heating to be enabled in place of mechanical heating. 
Normal operation resumes when the compressor safety circuit is de-energized. 
 
 
 
 may be configured on any unused binary input channel. A typical application would be an airflow 
switch, current sensing relay, or other device that provides a supply fan running verification. 
Enabling this function displays the supply fan’s status on the equipment graphic. 
If the controller loses fan status during operation, heating and cooling are disabled, the economizer damper (if 
available) is closed, and an alarm for loss of status is indicated. 
If the fan status is on when the controller is commanding the fan off, the unit remains in the off state. An alarm is 
generated indicating that the fan is running when it should be off.
