Table 1 provides information and guidelines about the functions, ratings, and requirements for the controller input and output terminal guidelines for determining proper wire sizes and cable lengths.

In addition to the wiring guidelines in Table 1, observe these guidelines when wiring controller inputs and outputs:

  • Run all low-voltage wiring and cables separate from high-voltage wiring.
  • All input and output cables, regardless of wire size or number of wires, should consist of stranded, insulated, and twisted copper wires.
  • Shielded cable is not required for input or output cables.
  • Shielded cable is recommended for input and output cables that are exposed to high electromagnetic or radio frequency noise.
  • Inputs/outputs with cables less than 30 m (100 ft) typically do not require an offset in the software setup. Cable runs over 30 m (100 ft) may require an offset in the input/output software setup.

Terminal Label Function, Ratings, Requirements Determine Wire Size and Maximum Cable Length1
Universal

(Inputs)

+15 V 15 VDC Power Source for active (3-wire) input devices connected to the Universal INn terminals;

Provides 100 mA total current.

Same as (Universal) IN n
Note: Use 3-wire cable for devices that source power from the +15 V terminal.
IN n Analog Input - Voltage Mode (0–10 VDC)

10 VDC maximum input voltage

Internal 67 kΩ Pull-down

See Guideline A in Table 1.
Analog Input - Current Mode (4–20 mA)

Internal 100 Ω load impedance

See Guideline B in Table 1.
Analog Input - Resistive Mode (0–600 kΩ)

Internal 12 V. 15 kΩ pull up

Qualified Sensors: 0–2 kΩ potentiometer

RTD (1k Nickel [Johnson Controls sensor] 1k Platinum, and A99B Silicon Temperature Sensor)

Negative Temperature Coefficient (NTC) Sensor (10k Type L, 10k JCI Type II, 2.252k Type II)

See Guideline A in Table 1.
Binary Input - Dry Contact Maintained Mode

1 second minimum pulse width Internal 12 V. 15 kΩ pull up

See Guideline A in Table 1.
ICOM n Universal Input Common for all Universal Input terminals Same as (Universal) IN n
BINARY

(Inputs)

IN n Binary Input - Dry Contact Maintained Mode

0.01 second minimum pulse width Internal 17 V. 100 kΩ pull up

See Guideline A in Table 1.
Binary Input - Pulse Counter/Accumulator Mode

ICOM n Binary Input Common for all Binary Input (IN) terminals
CONFIGURABLE

(Outputs)

OUT n Analog Output - Voltage Mode (0–10 VDC)

10 VDC maximum output voltage

10 mA maximum output current

Required an external load of 1,000 Ω or more.

See Guideline A in Table 1.
Binary Output - 24 VAC Triac (External Power Source only)

Connects OUTn to OCOMn when activated

External Power Source Requirements:

30 VAC maximum output voltage

0.5 A maximum output current

See Guideline C in Table 1.
OCOM n Analog Output Signal Common All Configurable Outputs (COs) defined as Analog Outputs (AOs) share one common.

Binary Output Signal Common All Configurable Outputs (COs) defined as Binary Outputs are isolated from all other commons, including other CO commons.

Same as (Configurable) Out n.
BINARY - RELAY

(Outputs)

OUT NO n Normal Open Contact

Connects OCOM to OUT NO when activated.

UL 916

240 VAC 5A Resistive, 1.9 FLA/11/4 LRA, D300 Pilot Duty, + 70°C (158°F), 30 K cycles

EN 60730

240 VAC 3A Resistive, 3A Inductive,Cos(phi) = 0.6, -20°C to 70°C (-4°F to 158°F), 100K cycles

The RELAY output terminals can accommodate the following maximum wire sizes:

Two wires per terminal: 1.3 mm (16 AWG) maximum

or

One wire per terminal: 2.0 mm (12 AWG) maximum

Note: You must determine the required wire size for the high-voltage (>30 V) terminals according to relay ratings, the applied load, and the local, national, or regional electrical codes.
OCOM n Relay Common

Isolated from all other terminal commons, including other Relay Commons.

Note: Reference all relay commons to the same pole of the supply circuit.
BINARY - Triacs

(Outputs)

OUTn-A

OUTn-B

Binary Output - 24 VAC or 240 VAC Triac (External Power Source Only)

Connects OUTn-A and OUTn-B when activated.

External Power Source Requirements:

30 VAC or 240 VAC maximum output voltage

0.5 A maximum output current

Note: Reference all triac commons to the same pole of the supply circuit.
See Guideline C in Table 1.
