eight stepper motor valves, which are typically used to 
control temperature.
The MultiFlex ESR uses suction side variable-position 
evaporator regulators (ESRs) to vary evaporator pressure 
for an entire circuit and is an alternative to mechanical 
EPR control.
The MultiFlex ESR receives input data from a Retail 
Solutions Site Supervisor controller (via the I/O Network) 
and then regulates the stepper valves according to the data 
from the Site Supervisor.
Each MultiFlex ESR board requires a Class 2, 80VA 
24VAC center-tapped transformer for power. Retail 
Solutions transformer (P/N 640-0080) is a multi-tapped 
primary transformer that may be used with the MultiFlex 
ESR board.
2.2.7 Hand-held Terminal (P/N 
814-3110)
The Hand-held Terminal (HHT) is used by 
manufacturers and service technicians to diagnose and test 
several of Retail Solutions' existing and legacy products. 
The HHT can be used on any Retail Solutions product 
with an RJ-11 connector. The most common applications 
include:
• All MultiFlex I/O boards and the 8ROSMT
• All Gateway boards
• Stand-alone MultiFlex boards (RTU, RCB, PAK, 
CUB)
• CCB and CC-100 case controllers
The HHT does not require a separate power source. 
The unit is powered from the RJ-11 connector on the 
peripheral equipment. The HHT includes a standard male 
RJ-11 to male RJ-11 cable.
2.2.8 The 8RO and 8ROSMT Relay 
Boards
The 8RO (P/N 810-3005) board is a general-purpose 
board used to connect an Site Supervisor to any of eight 
standard control relay outputs, but is now obsolete and has 
been replaced by the 8ROSMT (P/N 810-3006) board.
To function, the 8RO board must be connected through 
either the Echelon Network or the RS485 I/O Network to 
the Site Supervisor. When properly installed, the 8RO 
receives an electrical impulse from the Site Supervisor, 
which either opens or closes any of eight contact relays. 
Output definitions within the Site Supervisor allow the 
user to configure the 8RO board to interact with any 
refrigeration system or environmental control component.
The 8RO board is the direct link between the Site
