Installation
34 RT-SVX21N-EN
Controls using DC Analog Input/Outputs
(Standard Low Voltage Multi
conductor Wire)
Before installing any connecting wiring between the unit
and components utilizing a DC analog input\output signal,
refer to “Unit Dimensions,” p. 13 for the electrical access
locations provided on the unit.
• Table 6, p. 34 lists the conductor sizing guidelines that
must be followed when interconnecting the DC binary
output devices and the system components utilizing a
DC analog input/output signal to the unit.
Note: Resistance in excess of 2.5 ohms per conductor can
cause deviations in the accuracy of the controls.
Note: Ensure that the wiring between controls and the
unit’s termination point does not exceed two and a
half (2.5) ohms/conductor for the length of the run.
• Do not run the electrical wires transporting DC signals
in or around conduit housing high voltage wires.
• Route low voltage wiring per illustrations on page 35.
