Introduction
The InterOP8500 mounts directly to a Johnson
Controls panel, replacing the Johnson FIC-1n1
control board and the PCR-102. The
InterOP8500 uses the same mounting
brackets and can be powered by the existing
power supply (using a special adaptor cable).
However, in order to retain the UL listing, the
RPA-105 and the LPS-105 must be replaced by
the PWRSUP8500.
In addition, the InterOP8500 uses the Johnson
field termination board (FTB-102) for binary
I/O and analog input. Please note that slave
FICs must be replaced by separate, standalone InterOP8500 modules.
The InterOP8500’s edge connector plugs
directly into the field termination board’s
socket. Once connected, the InterOp8500
accesses the binary and analog I/O, as well
as an isolated 12VDC power supply for its
binary outputs. The InterOP8500 board
contains the microprocessor, a connection
port for the network connection, and a port
for I/O expansion. The InterOP8500 has 8
binary inputs, 15 analog inputs (which can be
set to either RTD or voltage mode), and 16
digital outputs.
The Access Port allows communication with
WebCTRL or SuperVision. The InterOP8500's
keypad port provides the interface for serial
communications with a BACview

in the panel.
4. Place the brushed aluminum ALC label on
the door of the panel.
Connecting Expander Modules
Up to five expansion Mx modules can be
connected to an InterOP8500. The stack can
be arranged in a single column using the
optional expansion cable.
NOTE
NOTE Use only one expansion cable per
NOTENOTE
stack.
Addressing
Before setting or changing the address, make
sure the InterOP8500’s power is off. The
InterOP8500 only reads the address when the
module is turned on. After changing the
address, you must transfer memory to the
module. Refer to “Transferring Memory” on
page 17.
The InterOP8500 has two rotary switches for
addressing:
1. Remove all power to the Johnson Controls
panel.
2. Open the face of the Johnson Controls
panel. The panel may contain up to three
Johnson Controls boards which face the
front of the panel and a side-mounted
board.The facing boards are stacked
above one another and are located
adjacent to the field termination board.
Remove the facing boards and any cables
(called "RPA wires") connected to them.
3. The InterOP8500 mounts directly to the
field termination board using either the
PWRSUP8500 or the existing power
supply (RPA-105 and LPS-105) as shown
in Figure 3 on page 5 and Figure 5 on page
6. Connect the InterOP8500 edge
connectors to the field termination
board's socket. Lock the InterOP8500 in
• For WebCTRL systems, use the switches
to assign the device’s MAC (medium
access control) address on the BACnetover-ARCNET network segment. The
rotary switches define the MAC address
portion of the device’s BACnet address
which is composed of the network
address and the MAC address.
• For SuperVision systems, use the
switches to assign the device’s module
number.
One switch corresponds to the tens digit and
the other corresponds to the ones digit. For
example, if the module’s address is three, set
the tens switch to zero and the ones switch to
three, as shown in Figure 4 on page 5.

Power Wiring
The InterOP8500 module is designed to
accept power directly from either the
PWRSUP8500 or the existing Johnson power
supply (LPS-105 and RPA-105). In order to
retain the UL listing of your system, a field
inspection is required if using a Johnson
power supply or the RPA-105 and the LPS-105
must be replaced by the PWRSUP8500 or.
Refer to “Using the ALC Power Supply” on
page 6 for wiring with the PWRSUP8500, or to
“Using the Johnson Power Supply” on page 7
for wiring with an existing Johnson power
supply.

Edge Connectors
Whenever possible, make sure the module's
power and communications connections are
working properly before connecting any
inputs and outputs. Care should be taken to
isolate power wiring from all other wiring
inside the enclosure. The high and low
voltage wiring must be kept as far apart from
each other as is possible to avoid noise
interference.
NOTE
NOTE To protect analog signals from stray
NOTENOTE
noise and to minimize EMI, use shielded
cable on all signal wires and low voltage
power wires.
When entering, exiting, or interconnecting
with the enclosure, it is better to use several
small openings than one large one. The 12V
binary outputs are powered by a separate
source supplied through the field termination
board.
CAUTION
CAUTION The InterOP8500 module is a
CAUTIONCAUTION
Class 2 device (less than 30VAC.) Take
appropriate isolation measures when
mounting an InterOp8500 module where
non-Class 2 devices or wiring are present.

Using the ALC Power Supply
The PWRSUP8500 power supply replaces both
the Johnson Controls LPS-105 and Johnson
RPA-105. The PWRSUP8500 is designed to fit
into the previous power supply's mounting
bracket and power the InterOP8500. The
PWRSUP8500 does not require any adaptor
cables. It connects directly to the
InterOp8500's power connector.
CAUTION
CAUTION The PWRSUP8500 module is a
CAUTIONCAUTION
120VAC device. Take appropriate isolation
measures when mounting a PWRSUP8500.
1. Turn the power switches off on the
InterOP8500 and the Johnson Controls
panel.
2. Unplug the LPS-105 from the power outlet
(see Figure 5).
3. Remove the power cable from the
InterOP8500 power connector.

4. Take out the mounting screw from the
face of the LPS-105 and remove the LPS105 from the Johnson Controls panel.
5. Take out the mounting screw from the
back of the RPA-105 and remove the RPA105 from the Johnson Controls panel.
6. Place the PWRSUP8500 in the same
brackets that the RPA-105 was in. Make
sure the edges of the PWRSUP8500 are in
the slots.
7. Replace the mounting screw in the back
of the PWRSUP8500 (see Figure 3 on page
5).
8. Connect the power cable of the
PWRSUP8500 to the InterOP8500 power
connector and plug the PWRSUP8500 into
the power outlet.
9. After verifying that you have +5V on the
red and +12V on the blue, referenced to
the Gnd (black), turn the InterOp8500
power switch on.
