Introduction
What is the RTU Open controller?
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 BACview6 Handheld or Virtual BACview can be used with the RTU
Open controller via the
J12 Access Port. See illustration on the following page.

RTU Open 5
Installation
To mount the RTU Open
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.
We highly recommend that you mount the RTU Open in the unit control panel!
6 RTU Open
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.
To wire the controller for power
CAUTIONS
○ 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.
○ 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).
Using the rooftop equipment control power transformer
1 Remove power from the 24 Vac transformer.
2 Remove connector assembly from RTU Open's J1 connector.
RTU Open 7
Installation
3 If the rooftop equipment has thermostat connection terminals, connect wiring harness J1 wire 1 to R,
and
J1 wire 3 to C. Alternately, connect the control power transformer wires to J1 connector wires 1 (24
Vac) and 3 (Gnd).
4 Apply power to the rooftop equipment.
5 Measure the voltage at the RTU Open’s J1 terminals 1 and 3 to verify that the voltage is within the
operating range of 21.6–26.4 Vac.
6 Attach harness to RTU Open connector J1.
NOTE The harness and connector are keyed and must be oriented properly for correct installation.
7 Verify that the Power LED is on and the Run LED is blinking.
Using an auxiliary control power transformer
If you use a separate control power transformer, it is essential that the auxiliary transformer and the rooftop
transformer are in-phase. You
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.
5 Correct the phase reversal by either of the following methods:
○ Remove the ground from the secondary at the auxiliary transformer and connect it to the other
secondary
○ Reverse the primary wiring at the auxiliary transformer
6 Repeat step 4 to rewire.
7 Remove connector assembly from RTU Open's J1 connector.
8 Connect the auxiliary transformer wires to J1 wires 1 (24 Vac) and 3 (Gnd).
9 Apply power to the transformer.
10 Measure the voltage at the RTU Open’s J1 - 1 and 3 to verify that the voltage is within the operating
range of 21.6–26.4 Vac.
11 Attach harness to RTU Open's connector J1. See illustration below.
NOTE The harness connectors are keyed and must be oriented properly for correct installation.
12 Verify that the Power LED is on and the Run LED is blinking.

To set the RTU Open's address
The RTU Open's two rotary switches determine the RTU Open's MAC address when it is placed on an MS/TP
network. The rotary switches define the MAC address portion of the RTU Open's BACnet device instance
number, which is composed of the MS/TP network number and the MAC address. They also set the slave
address on a Modbus or N2 network when less than 100. See the RTU Open Integration Guide for additional
information on integration.
CAUTION The MAC address of the controller must be unique on its network.
- 1 to
- 9) where no safety devices are installed.
RTU Open 9
Installation
1 Turn off the RTU Open's power. The controller reads the address each time you apply power to it.
2 Using the rotary switches, set the MSB (SW1) (10's) switch to the tens digit of the address, and set the
LSB (SW2) (1's) switch to the ones digit.
EXAMPLE To set the RTU Open’s address to 01, point the arrow on the MSB (SW1) switch to 0 and the
arrow on the
LSB (SW2) switch to 1.
3 Turn on the RTU Open's power.
NOTE The factory default setting is "00" and must be changed to successfully install your RTU Open.
To set the RTU Open's communications protocol and baud rate
RTU Open's SW3 DIP switches are used to set the controller's protocol and baud rate. The protocol and speed
selection is determined by the network on which the controller will be installed. For Carrier BACnet
implementations, select MS/TP @ 76.8 k as follows:
1 Power down the RTU Open. The controller reads the protocol and baud rate each time you apply power to
it.
2 Set SW3 DIP switches 1, 2, and 4 to On to configure the controller for BACnet MS/TP and 76.8 k baud.
3 Power up the RTU Open.
NOTE Other protocols and baud rates are available. See the RTU Open Integration Guide for additional
instructions.
Wiring the RTU Open to the MS/TP network
The RTU Open communicates using BACnet on an MS/TP network segment communications at 9600 bps,
19.2 kbps, 38.4 kbps, or 76.8 kbps.
Wire the controllers on an MS/TP network segment in a daisy-chain configuration.
10 RTU Open
Install a BT485 on the first and last controller on a network segment to add bias and prevent signal
distortions due to echoing.
See the MS/TP Networking and Wiring Installation Guide for more details.
1 Pull the screw terminal connector from the controller's power terminals labeled Gnd and 24 Vac or Hot.
2 Check the communications wiring for shorts and grounds.
3 Connect the communications wiring to the BACnet port’s screw terminals labeled Net +, Net -, and
Shield.
NOTE Use the same polarity throughout the network segment.
4 Verify that the MSTP jumper is set to MSTP.
5 Set DIP switches 1 and 2 to the appropriate baud rate. See the MSTP baud diagram on the RTU Open.
The default baud rate is 76.8 kbps.
NOTE Use the same baud rate for all controllers on the network segment.
6 Insert the power screw terminal connector into the RTU Open's power terminals.
7 Verify communication with the network by viewing a module status report.
