The RTU Open controller is available as an integrated component of a Carrier rooftop unit, or as a fieldinstalled retrofit product. Its internal application programming provides optimum rooftop performance and
energy efficiency. RTU Open enables the unit to run in 100% stand-alone control mode or it can communicate
to the Building Automation System (BAS).
On board DIP switches allow you to select the baud rate and choose one of the following protocols:
• BACnet
• Modbus
• Johnson N2
• LonWorks
Carrier’s diagnostic display tools such as BACview®6 Handheld or Virtual BACview can be used with the RTU
Open controller via the
Access Port. See illustration on the following page.

When you handle the RTU Open:
• Do not contaminate the printed circuit board with fingerprints, moisture, or any foreign material.
• Do not touch components or leads.
• Handle the board by its edges.
• Isolate from high voltage or electrostatic discharge.
• Ensure that you are properly grounded.
When you mount the RTU Open:
• Do not locate in an area that is exposed to moisture, vibration, dust, or foreign material.
• Follow NEC and local electrical codes.
• Do not obstruct access for unit maintenance.
• Protect from impact or contact during unit maintenance.

To wire the controller for power
CAUTIONS
Screw the RTU Open into an enclosed panel using the mounting slots on the cover plate. Leave about 2 in. (5
cm) on each side of the controller for wiring.
•The RTU Open is powered by a Class 2 power source. Take appropriate isolation measures when
mounting it in a control panel where non-Class 2 circuits are present.
• Do not power pilot relays from the same transformer that powers the RTU Open.
• Carrier controllers can share a power supply as long as you:
○ Maintain the same polarity
○ Use the power supply only for Carrier controllers
•The RTU Open has an operating range of 21.6 Vac to 26.4 Vac. If voltage measured at the RTU Open's
input terminals is outside this range, the RTU Open may not work properly.
○ In most cases, the RTU Open will be powered from the control power transformer provided with the
rooftop equipment. If you must use a separate control power transformer, additional precautions
must be taken to ensure that the auxiliary transformer is in-phase with the rooftop equipment’s
control power transformer. See Using an auxiliary control power transformer (page 8).

If you use a separate control power transformer, it is essential that the auxiliary transformer and the rooftop
transformer are in-phase. You
verify this prior to connecting the auxiliary transformer to the RTU Open.
Follow these steps:
1 Verify the available primary voltage at the rooftop equipment.
2 Remove power from the rooftop equipment and install the appropriate auxiliary transformer. Follow the
manufacturer’s installation instructions.
3 Ground one leg of the auxiliary transformer’s secondary wiring.
4 Apply power to the rooftop equipment. Measure the potential between the rooftop equipment control
power and auxiliary transformer's secondary hot (non-grounded) legs. If the voltage measured is less
than 5 volts, the transformers are in-phase; proceed to step 7. If you measure a voltage greater than 24
Vac, then the phases are reversed.

The RTU Open has 8 binary outputs. You can connect each output to a maximum of 24 Vac/Vdc. Each output
is a dry contact rated at 3 A, 24 V maximum, and is normally open.
To size output wiring, consider the following:
• Total loop distance from the power supply to the controller, and then to the controlled device
• Acceptable voltage drop in the wire from the controller to the controlled device
The Aux Power Out terminal is capable of supplying 24 Vdc to
a 4-20 mA transducer, but the total current demanded must
not exceed 40 mA. If the voltage measured from the Aux
Power Out terminal to Gnd is less than 18 Vdc, you need to
use an external power supply.
when the contacts are closed
Include the total distance of actual wire. For 2-conductor wires, this is twice the cable length.
• Resistance (Ohms) of the chosen wire gauge
• Maximum current (Amps) the controlled device requires to operate
The RTU Open has 1 analog output that supports voltage or current devices. The controlled device must share
the same ground as the controller and have input impedance of 500 Ohms maximum for the 4-20 mA mode

either an outdoor air or differential enthalpy switch. A differential enthalpy switch has a sensing device in both
the outdoor and return air streams. A differential enthalpy switch indicates when outside air is cooler than the
return air, and is available for economizer cooling. If no enthalpy switch is configured, a network point (Object
Name: oae) is available. This point is displayed in the i-Vu application and a BACview device as

function called Linkage™ to pass data between a master zone and its air source via an MS/TP network
connection. When the RTU Open is part of a linked system, it will indicate an airside linkage alarm if it loses
communications with its linkage master or if it receives invalid data.
The RTU Open may serve as an air source to an Open Variable Volume Terminal (VVT) system. When the RTU
Open is part of a VVT system and the controllers are wired together to form a network, the controllers may use
a method of communication known as Linkage™. Linkage is a method by which an air source and its
subordinate zone terminals exchange data to form a coordinated HVAC system. The system's air source
controller, zone controllers, and bypass controller are linked so that their data exchange can be managed by
one zone controller configured as the VVT Master.
The VVT Master gathers the following information from the slave zone controllers:
• occupancy status
• setpoints

Page 60
Sequence of Operation
NOTE
Linkage
Callers

• zone temperature
• relative humidity
• CO
level
2
• damper position
• optimal start data
The VVT Master performs mathematical calculations and algorithms on the data and then sends the
composite information to the air source. The VVT Master receives information from the air source such as
mode, supply air temperature, and outside air temperature, and passes that information to all linked
controllers.
The following paragraphs describe the interaction between the air source (RTU Open) and its
subordinate zones. Additional information regarding Open Zoned Systems may be found in the VVT Zone and VVT Bypass Controller Installation Guides.
The VVT Master determines system operation by prioritizing heating and cooling requirements from all the
zones based on their occupancy and demand. The VVT Master scans the system continuously to determine if
any zones are occupied. Occupied zones are a higher priority than unoccupied zones. The VVT Master
evaluates all the occupied zones' heating or cooling demands and sends a request to the air source (RTU
Open) for:
•Cooling, if the number of occupied zones with cooling demands exceeds the number of occupied zones
with heating demands, and the demand is greater than or equal to the number of configured
.
•Heating, if the number of occupied zones with a heating demand exceeds or is equal to the number of
.
If no zones are occupied or no occupied zones require heating or cooling, the VVT Master performs the
evaluation described above for the unoccupied zones.
The VVT Master then gathers the following information and sends it to the air source (RTU Open):
• The system mode
• The setpoints and zone temperature from the zone with the greatest demand for the requested air
source mode (heating or cooling). (This zone is called the reference zone.)
• The system occupancy status
• Most open damper position from any zone
• RH and CO2 values (if applicable)
The air source responds by sending the air source mode, supply air temperature, and outside air temperature.
The air source verifies the mode by comparing its supply air temperature to the space temperature received
through Linkage. See the air source documentation for operation and parameters used to verify its mode.
This verification allows the VVT system to determine if the desired air source mode is actually being provided.
For example, if the VVT Master sends a request for heating and the air source does not have heat or it’s heat
has failed, the air source's actual mode indicates that and it's current mode is sent to the zones so that they
can control accordingly.
The system remains in that mode until all zones of that demand are satisfied or until a fixed 30 minute mode
reselect timer causes a forced re-evaluation of the system. If there is no demand for the opposite mode, the
reselect timer starts again and the current mode continues until all zones are satisfied or until the reselect
timer expires, repeating the process. If there is a demand for the opposite mode, the VVT Master sends the
reference zone's space temperature and setpoints to the air source and restarts the reselect timer. The air
source re-evaluates its demand based on the new information and goes to the Vent mode until the new mode
can be verified as described above. The amount of time this takes is determined by the air source’s operating
parameters.
The VVT Master continuously evaluates the system and updates the air source with the most current system
demand. Based on the evaluation, the reference zone can change from one zone to another. The evaluation
process continues until there is no demand from any zone or the 30 minute timer causes a re-evaluation of
the system conditions.

If no heating or cooling is required or the current air source mode is satisfied, the VVT Master calculates the
weighted average of the occupied and unoccupied heating and cooling setpoints. It also calculates a zone
temperature that is midway between the setpoints (occupied or unoccupied based on the system’s current
occupancy status). This information, plus the occupancy status, is sent to the air source so that its current
mode is disabled and the unit ceases heating or cooling operation. If the system is occupied, the air source
fan and OA damper, if applicable, operate to maintain proper ventilation.
In a linked system, the air source determines its operating mode and qualifies that mode based on its own
configuration:
•
– Air source fan is off

The occupied setpoints described below are the setpoints under normal operating conditions. The Demand Level 1–3
setpoints apply if demand limiting is used.
Demand limiting is a cost-saving strategy to reduce energy consumption. The strategy expands the occupied heating and
cooling setpoints when the system reaches one of 3 levels of consumption. With the expanded setpoints, the equipment
works less, thereby saving energy. By default, Demand Level 1 expands the occupied heating and cooling setpoints by 1°F,
Demand Level 2 by 2°F, and Demand Level 3 by 4°F. If the occupied heating or cooling setpoints change, the (effective)
demand level setpoints automatically change by the same amount. See Sequence of Operation (page 43) for more
information.

Appendix B: Single Point Linkage and Device Address Binding
The RTU Open receives data from other Open controllers when they are installed as part of an Open system.
The data transfer may take the form of Single Point Linkage (SPL), which is automatic, or Device Address
Binding, which you must configure.
Currently, the RTU Open implements Single Point Linkage for 3 variables: Refer to configuration section -
