It is recommended that the unit be kept at room
temperature for at least 24 hours before applying
power; this is to allow the evaporation of any
condensation resulting from low shipping / storage
temperatures.
US requirement, only: This device must be installed in
a UL-listed enclosure offering adequate space to
maintain the segregation of line voltage field wiring
and Class 2 field wiring.

Electrical Data
RL2N, RL8N, RS4N (230 VAC)
Power via terminals 1 + 2: 230 VAC +10% / -15%, 50/60 Hz.
Max. power consumption (when unloaded): 8 W.
Max. power consumption (when loaded): 18 W.
The controller is "unloaded" when it has no external load.
Thus, the only load on the controller is the inherent load (8 W)
of the electronics, themselves. The heat dissipation then
amounts to 8 W. The controller is "loaded" when – besides
the inherent load – an additional sum load resulting from max.
300 mA (irrespective as to whether it is supplied by the controller's internal transformer or by an external source) is
applied to the 24 VAC output terminals. The max. unloaded
output voltage at terminals 3 and 4 (RSxN) or terminals 5 and
6 (RLxN), respectively, is 33 VAC (typically: 29.5 VAC).
RL6N, RS5N (24 VAC)
Power via terminals 3+4: 24 VAC 20%, 50/60 Hz.
Max. current consumption (when unloaded): 300 mA.
Max. current consumption (when loaded): 900 mA.
The controller is "loaded" when – besides the inherent load
(300 mA) – an additional sum load resulting from max. 600 mA is applied to the 24 VAC output terminals. The max.
unloaded output voltage at terminals 3 and 4 (RSxN) or
terminals 5 and 6 (RLxN) is identical with the output voltage of
the external supplying transformer.
All models can be used with freely programmable applications. The application engineer performs this task on a PC
on which Niagara has been installed (see also corresponding
Technical Literature listed in Table 15 on pg. 23).
Supported Actuators
The application supports a variety of actuators.
• Analog 0(2)…10 V
• Floating
• PWM
• Staged actuators
• 6-way valve actuators
Supported Sensors
A variety of sensors (e.g., room temperature sensors, supply
temperature sensors, condensation switch, window sensors,
occupancy sensors, card readers, etc.) may be used to
optimize control quality.
Applications
Applications requiring a fast (20 ms) reaction time can be
implemented as event-based applications.
Blinds Function Block
The sunblinds may be used to control different devices:
The blinds can be positioned manually using directly-wired
pushbutton inputs or by manual override commands connected as input to the function block as programmed in the
Niagara wire sheet (e.g., manual commands received via
BACnet MS/TP). In the event of a conflict, i.e., when commands are issued both by pushbutton and via BACnet
MS/TP, the last command received has priority and will thus
position the blinds.
Manual Blinds Positioning by Pushbutton
• Short press UP: Opens the slat angle by a configurable
slat angle segment.
• Long press UP: Drives the blinds to the UP position.
Movement may be stopped by briefly pressing any blinds
pushbutton.
• Short press DOWN: Closes the slat angle by a configurable slat angle segment.
• Long press DOWN: Drives the blinds to the DOWN position. Movement may be stopped by briefly pressing any
blinds pushbutton.
• Example:
- Configuration: Slat angle fully open = 80°, slat angle
fully closed = -80°, 4 slat angle steps (move the blinds
by 40° per step)
- The slat angle is in the fully open position. The room
occupant positions the slats horizontally with two short
press signals. This is far more accurate than watching
the slats and releasing the pushbutton once the slats
appear to have reached the proper angle.
Application Commands
Energy optimization per EN15232 or special behavior of the
blinds can be achieved via the application input. The application engineer can create customer-specific applications to
drive the blinds to the optimal position based on daylight level,
occupancy, heat/cool demand in the room, etc. The application engineer may, e.g., create an application which drives
the blinds DOWN if the sun shines into the room and there is
a cooling demand for the room.
Application commands may be used by the supervisory
station or the primary plant controller to, e.g., drive all of the
blinds UP during the night.
The application engineer can program scenes for light, blinds,
and HVAC.
NOTE: The application engineer has the option of blocking
application commands for a configurable time after
the blinds have been manually set.
Emergency Command
The blinds function block has an emergency input which has
the highest priority. Application commands and manual
commands are blocked in case of an emergency command.
The emergency input is used, e.g., in case of strong wind,
fire, open window, or during window cleaning to block the
blinds, e.g., in the upper position.
Feedback Information from the Blinds Function Block
The blinds provide a feedback for the position of the blind. In
addition, they provide a cause for the actual position. The
"cause" information is of considerable assistance to the
application engineer in clearly understanding the cause for
the blinds' position (e.g., movement stopped due to open
window).
Commissioning Parameters
• Device type, e.g. blinds, shutter, drape…
• Time to open the blinds.
• Time to close the blinds.
• Slat angle fully open.
• Slat angle fully closed.
• Slat time to close.
• Slat time to open.
• Slat angle position steps.
• Lock time after manual command.
• Assignment of two outputs (relay or triac) per set of blinds.
It is recommended to use coupling relays in case triac
outputs are used for sunblinds positioning.
• Assignment of two inputs per set of blinds for pushbutton
UP/DOWN connection.
Time Delays for Motor Protection
• Direction change: 600 msec pause.
• Same direction: 300 msec pause for reactivation of the
motor.
• Minimum switch-on time: 50 msec.
General Remark regarding Parallel Positioning of Blinds for a
Building Facade
The position of the blinds is calculated based on runtimes for
UP/DOWN and slat angle open/close. There is no position
sensor and the runtimes may change over time as the blinds
become dirty, etc. It is therefore not possible to exactly
position all blinds at the same height and slat angle.
Hardware Recommendation
The RL8N is the preferred hardware model for light and blinds
control. Special features of RL8N:
• Dimming of lights via 1…10V output requires that the
analog output be able to operate as a current sink
(-/+ 1mA on AO3 and AO4).
• High inrush current (80A inrush current and 10 A continuous current on relay 1 and 4) for capacitive loads like
LED lighting.
• Increased reliability for dry inputs (24V pull-up voltage for
UI1 …4).
Light Function Block
The light function block supports different types of lights:
• ON/OFF light.
• Light dimming.
• Light ON/OFF with timer.
• Light ON/OFF with timer with dimming function.
• Stair case lighting.
• Pushbutton used to switch ON a light. A timer is started
and the light is switched OFF once the configurable time
is over.
• Staircase lighting with dimming function.

Manual Light ON / OFF / Dim
The light can be switched ON/OFF or dimmed manually using
directly-wired pushbutton inputs or by manual override commands connected as input to the function block as
programmed in the Niagara wire sheet (e.g., manual commands received via BACnet MS/TP). In the event of a conflict,
i.e., when commands are issued both by pushbutton and via
BACnet MS/TP, the last command received has priority and
will thus set the light.
Manual Light ON / OFF / Dim by Pushbutton
• The light can be controlled using one or two pushbuttons.
• Control using two pushbuttons:
- Short press UP: Light is switched ON.
- Long press UP: Light intensity is increased. Releasing
the pushbutton stops the brightness change.
- Short press DOWN: Light is switched OFF.
- Long press DOWN: Light intensity is decreased.
Releasing the pushbutton stops the brightness
change.
• Control using one pushbutton:
- Short press: Toggles the light ON/OFF.
- Long press: Starts the dimming process. Increasing /
decreasing the light level is toggled with every pushbutton press. Releasing the pushbutton stops the
brightness change.
Example: The light level is being increased by means
of a long press. If you now instead wish to decrease
the light level, release the pushbutton and perform
another long press.
- It is possible to configure the pushbutton such that
only light ON / light increase or light OFF / light
decrease using the pushbutton is supported. Switching
OFF can be done automatically with a configurable
delay.
Application Commands
Energy optimization per EN15232 or special behavior of the
light can be achieved via the application input. The application
engineer can create customer-specific applications to, e.g.,
switch the light OFF if the daylight level reaches a configurable level.
The application engineer can program scenes for light, blinds,
and HVAC.
Application commands may be used by the supervisory
station or the primary plant controller to, e.g., switch OFF all
lights during the night.
NOTE: The application engineer has the option of blocking
application commands for a configurable time after
the light has been manually set.
Manual Address Command Bit Input
This input is used if the light is controlled by a manual
command coming from another light function block. This
functionality is used for grouping, e.g., using one pushbutton
to switch ON/OFF all lights in a room.
Motion and/or Brightness Sensor
This input is used to connect a motion detector including a
brightness sensor.
The input can be configured for:
• Light ON if occupancy detected on dark.
• Light ON and AutoOffTimer restarted if occupancy
detected and the room is dark.
• Light OFF if the room is unoccupied or the room is bright.
• Do not switch the light OFF if the automatic OFF timer has
expired and occupancy is detected.
• Do not switch the light OFF if the application wants to
switch the light OFF but the room is still occupied.
Emergency Command
The light function block has an emergency input which has
the highest priority. Application commands and manual
commands are blocked in case of an emergency command.
The emergency input is used, e.g., in case of fire to switch
ON all lights permanently or it can be used to switch OFF
certain light groups in case the building is running in
generator mode.
Feedback Information from the Light Function Block
The light provides a feedback for the light level. In addition, it
provides a cause for the actual light level. The "cause"
information is of considerable assistance to the application
engineer in clearly understanding the cause for the light level
(e.g., light switched ON due to emergency or for lamp test).
The light function block can be configured to command other
light function blocks. This is used for grouping of lights.
Commissioning Parameters
• Light type, e.g. ON/OFF, dimming, staircase, etc.
• Assignment of switching outputs (relay or triac). It is
recommended to use coupling relays if triac outputs are
used for lighting. Please observe the relays' constant
current and inrush current limitations. Coupling relays may
be used if the internal relays cannot support the required
current.
• Assignment of analog outputs for light dimming via
1…10V.
NOTE: Only AO3 and AO4 of the RL8N support dimming.
• Assignment of inputs for pushbutton connection and one
or two pushbutton control.
• Min/max level and speed for dimming.
• Auto OFF time delay.
• Optional switch OFF delay time in case of automatic OFF.
The light blinks to inform the room occupant that the light
will be switched OFF. The room occupant may manually
switch ON the light in this case to avoid automatic
switching OFF of the light.
Hardware Recommendation
The RL8N is the preferred hardware model for light and blinds
control. Special features of the RL8N:
Dimming of lights via 1…10V output requires that the
analog output can operate as a current sink (-/+ 1mA
on AO3 and AO4).
High inrush current (80A inrush current and 10 A
continuous current on relay 1 and 4) for capacitive
loads like LED lighting

COMMISSIONING
Automatic MAC Addressing
In contrast to other MS/TP controllers, the RxxN Controller
features automatic MAC addressing.
The MAC addresses which the individual RxxN controllers on
the BACnet MS/TP bus assign to themselves are not
assigned in sequential order.
They assign those numbers (MAC ID) between 1…62
currently not in use by another device on the BACnet MS/TP
bus. All RxxN controllers are BACnet MS/TP masters. Every
master performs periodic polling for the possible appearance
of new masters. Each master "knows" the identity of the
"next" master (i.e., that RxxN controller with the next-highest
MAC ID) on the BACnet MS/TP bus and to which it must
therefore pass the token. The polling process includes a
search for new masters which might have MAC addresses
lying between its own MAC address and that of the "next"
master. The value of the property Max Master specifies the
highest-allowable address for master nodes. Max Master is
set to 35 by default, thus guaranteeing that, on a BACnet
MS/TP bus with, e.g., 62 RxxN controllers, all of the other
RxxN controllers will be found. Both the property Max Master
and the property MAC ID are writeable properties that can be
changed. Specifically: "MAC ID" can be changed using
Niagara, while "Max Master" can be changed using Niagara
or any other BACnet-compatible engineering tools, e.g., with
BACShark.
NOTE: It is not possible to configure a MAC ID outside the
range of 1…62.

The controller features an RS485 interface (RLxN: terminals
62, 63, and 64; RSxN: terminals 40, 41, and 42) suitable for
BACnet MS/TP communication. The terminal block containing
it is black. The cable length affects the baud rate. See Table

For information on wire gauge, max. permissible cable length,
possible shielding and grounding requirements, and the max.
number of devices which can be connected to a bus, refer to
standard EIA-485.
Connecting to BACnet MS/TP Buses
The controller communicates via its BACnet MS/TP interface
with other BACnet MS/TP-capable devices (e.g., other room
controllers or plant controllers like the EAGLE / Excel Web II).
In doing so, the following considerations should be taken into
account.
▪ Max. BACnet MS/TP bus length (L): See Table 11.
▪ Twisted-pair cable, e.g.:
- AWG 18;
- J-Y-(St)-Y 2 x 2 x 0,8;
- CAT 5,6,7 cable – use only one single pair for one
bus;
- Belden 9842 or 9842NH);
and daisy-chain topology.
▪ Must conform to EIA-RS485 cabling guidelines and
ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 135-2010.
▪ Max. no. of BACnet MS/TP devices (including the Master)
per BACnet MS/TP channel: 31 (= "N" in Fig. 23).

RJ45 Connector for BACnet WiFi Adapter
A BACnet WiFi Adapter can be connected to the controller's
RJ45 connector in order to establish wireless communication
with a PC with Niagara so that the application engineer can
commission the controller.
NOTE: When the BACnet WiFi Adapter is connected to the
controller's RJ45 connection, it is powered by the
controller. It is then prohibited to simultaneously
power the BACnet WiFi Adapter via a wall adapter.
When, on the other hand, the BACnet WiFi Adapter
is instead connected to the controller's BACnet
MS/TP interface, it is prohibited to simultaneously
use an RJ45 plug; instead, the BACnet WiFi Adapter
must then be powered by a wall adapter (standard 5V USB wall adapter with micro USB connector).
See also corresponding Technical Literature listed in Table 15
on pg. 23.
It is permitted to connect only the BACnet WiFi
Adapter to this RJ45 connector. Do not connect IP!
Sylk Bus
Sylk Bus-capable devices (e.g., the CLCMTR40x/T42x) can
be connected to the controller's Sylk Interface (RSxN: terminals 20 and 21; RLxN: terminals 30 and 31). Specifically:
▪ A max. of one wall module can be connected.
▪ The Sylk Bus is single pair, and polarity-insensitive.
▪ Max. current provided at the Sylk Bus interface: 96 mA.

I/O TERMINALS
CAUTION
Failure to observe the following max. permissible
current outputs of the power output terminals will
result in damage to the device.
Max. Current Output of Power Output
Terminals of 230 VAC Controllers
The 24 VAC power output terminals of the 230 VAC RLxN
controllers are terminals 5, 6, 35, 39, 43, and 44 plus pin 4 of
the controller's RJ45 interface. Two of these terminals
(typically: 5 and 6) will be used to supply the triacs.
The 24 VAC power output terminals of the 230 VAC RSxN
controllers are terminals 3, 4, 27, and 31 plus pin 4 of the
controller's RJ45 interface. Two of these terminals (typically: 3
and 4) will be used to supply the triacs.
Regardless of whether the triacs are supplied by the controller's internal transformer or by an external source, the
max. permissible combined current output of the aforementioned 24 VAC power output terminals is 300 mA (or 320
mA for max. 2 minutes).
Consequently, if only those two 24 VAC power output terminals used to supply the triacs already have the max. permissible combined current output of 300 mA (or 320 mA for
max. 2 minutes), then the current output of the remaining 24
VAC power output terminals must, of course, equal zero.
Max. Current Output of Power Output
Terminals of 24 VAC Controllers
The 24 VAC power output terminals of the 24 VAC RLxN controllers are terminals 5, 6, 35, 39, 43, and 44 plus pin 4 of the
controller's RJ45 interface.
The 24 VAC power output terminals of the 24 VAC RSxN controllers are terminals 3, 4, 22, 23, 24, 25, 27, and 31 plus pin
4 of the controller's RJ45 interface.
The max. permissible combined current output of these 24
VAC power output terminals is 300 mA.
Relay Outputs
CAUTION
Mixing of different voltages (e.g., 24 V and 230 V)
within the relay block is not allowed.
The terminal blocks containing the controller's relay outputs
are orange. Relay output types: See Table 3.
NOTE: If inductive components are to be connected to the
relays and if these relays switch more often than
once every two minutes, these components must be
prevented from causing harmful interference to radio
or television reception (conformance with EN 45014).
Relay Current Limitations
If the triacs are supplied with current from an external source,
then a maximum of two relays may be loaded with a max. of
4 A per relay – even if two triacs are each simultaneously
loaded with max. 300 mA.
If the triacs are supplied with current from an internal source,
a maximum of two relays may be loaded as follows: a max.
load of 4 A for a relay serving a fan and a max. load of 10 A
for a relay serving a reheat – even if one triac is simultaneously loaded with 300 mA.
Triac Outputs
NOTE: Recommended fuse (F1): 1.25 A time-lag fuse (IEC).
User must consider the correct voltage and max.
breaking capacity / interrupting rate (line voltage
urgently requires high breaking capacity / interrupting
rate).
The terminal blocks containing the controller's triac outputs
are orange.
These triac outputs can be used for a variety of different
functions, e.g., for connection to either a floating drive or to a
thermal actuator. Once the triac outputs have been
programmed, the corresponding devices can then be
connected to them directly.
NOTE: The VC6983 actuator is intended for use at relay
outputs, only and must not be used at the controller's
triac outputs.
Triac Current Limitations
The max. allowed current with which the ensemble of a controller's triacs may be loaded is dependent upon whether the
given model is powered with 24 VAC or with 230 VAC (and, in
the case of models powered with 230 VAC, upon whether the
outputs are supplied by the controller's internal transformer or
by an external current supply). Specifically:
▪ In the case of 24 VAC models, the ensemble of a con-
troller's triacs may be loaded with 600 mA.
▪ In the case of the 230 VAC models, if the triacs are
supplied with 24 VAC current by the controller's internal
transformer, the ensemble of a controller's triacs may be
loaded with 300 mA (or 320 mA for a max. of 2 minutes);
when supplied by an external source, this value is
doubled.
However, regardless of whether the triacs are supplied
internally or externally, a single triac must never be loaded
with a current of more than 300 mA (320 mA for max. 2
minutes).
Nevertheless, the ensemble of triacs can be loaded for very
short periods of time (on the order of milliseconds) with a
current on the order of 2500 mA typically encountered when
switching on multiple thermal actuators.
Universal Inputs
The terminal blocks containing the controller's universal
inputs are blue. Universal input types: See Table 4.
The universal inputs are protected against voltages of max.
29 VAC and 30 VDC (due to, e.g., miswiring).
Bias Resistors
Each universal input is equipped with one bias resistor. See

Analog Outputs
The terminal blocks containing the controller's analog outputs
are green. Analog output types: See Table 5.
The analog outputs of the RLxN controllers (large housing)
are protected against voltages of max. 29 VAC and 30 VDC
(due to, e.g., miswiring).
NOTE: Connecting 24 VAC to any analog output of the
RSxN controller (small housing) will damage the
hardware.
Free I/O Option
The limitations – including model-dependent limitations – set
forth in Table 2, Table 3, Table 4, Table 5 apply. Further
limitations are explained below.
Free Universal Inputs
Max. 5 BACnet Analog Input Objects
Under the free I/O option, a maximum of five of the MERLIN
NX controller's unused UIs are available for use as analog
inputs by the plant controller. However, they cannot be used
for receiving input from NI1000TK5000 sensors.
Max. 5 BACnet Binary Input Objects
Under the free I/O option, a maximum of five of the MERLIN
NX Controller's unused UIs are available for use as binary
inputs by the plant controller.
Max. 2 BACnet Accumulator Objects
Under the free I/O option, a maximum of two of the MERLIN
NX Controller's unused UIs are available for use as
accumulators by the plant controller.
These accumulators can have up to 30 Hz (pulse ON ≥ 16
ms; pulse OFF ≥ 16 ms; closed: voltage < 1 V; open: voltage
> 5 V).
These accumulators can be used, e.g., for energy meters
which create pulses when energy is consumed.
Free Outputs
Max. 4 BACnet Analog Output Objects
Under the free I/O option, a maximum of four of the MERLIN
NX Controller's unused outputs (analog or binary outputs)
may be used with BACnet Analog Output objects by the plant
controller. Possible characteristics are as follows:
▪ analog output: 0(2)..10 V outputs;
▪ floating output: triac or relay outputs;
▪ PWM: triac outputs;
▪ 1-, 2-, 3-stage output: triac / relay outputs.
Max. 4 BACnet Binary Output Objects
Under the free I/O option, a maximum of four of the MERLIN
NX Controller's unused relays and triacs are available for use
as binary outputs by the plant controller. However, they can
be used only as ON / OFF binary outputs.

▪ NO OVERRIDE: If the wall module's LED is OFF, then no
override is currently in effect.
▪ OVERRIDE OCCUPANCY: If the wall module's LED is
ON continuously, then the wall module's override button or
a BACnet MS/TP network command has placed the
controller into the "occupied" or "override" mode (but if the
override button is again pushed or if a cancellation network command is received or if the override time expires,
the controller will return to its scheduled occupancy mode,
and the wall module's LED will behave accordingly).
▪ OVERRIDE HOLIDAY: If the wall module's LED flashes 2
sec OFF and 1 sec ON, then the controller has received a
network command and been placed in the "holiday" mode.
▪ OVERRIDE UNOCCUPIED: If the wall module's LED
flashes once per sec, then the wall module's override
button or a network command has placed the controller
into the "unoccupied" mode (however, if the override
button is again pushed or if a cancellation BACnet MS/TP
network command is received, the controller will return to
its scheduled occupancy mode, and the wall module's
LED will behave accordingly).
▪ If the wall module's LED flashes twice per sec, then a
BACnet MS/TP network command has placed the controller into either the "standby" or the "occupied" mode.
CLCM Configured to Display Info on Occupancy
The LED of a CLCM4T,5T,6T111 Wall Module connected to
the controller can also be configured to indicate the controller's effective occupancy mode. Specifically, the following
modes are supported:
▪ UNOCCUPIED: If the wall module's LED is OFF, then the
controller is in the "unoccupied" mode.
▪ STANDBY: If the wall module's LED flashes once per sec,
then the controller has received a network command and
been placed in the "standby" mode.
▪ OCCUPIED: If the wall module's LED is ON, then the con-
troller is in the "occupied" mode.
▪ BYPASS: If the wall module's LED is ON continuously,
then the controller has received a network command and
been placed in the "bypass" mode.
▪ HOLIDAY: If the wall module's LED is OFF, then the con-
troller has received a network command and been placed
in the "holiday" mode.
LCD of a TR42x Configured to Display Info on

troubleshooting. See also Table 8 and Table 9 and section
"Service Button".
Check if the Status LED's behavior is changed if you switch
the power OFF/ON. Please contact Honeywell if this does not
solve the problem.
Further, the test function of Niagara can also be used to carry
out general application and wiring checks. Niagara also
features a BACnet Object Browser which can prove very
helpful in analyzing the controller's function and
communication.

NOTE: In the case of temperatures lying outside the aforementioned ranges, the lowest/highest value within the range, instead,
will be communicated. Thus a temperature of -51 °C will be communicated as “-50 °C.”
Sensor Characteristics
The characteristics (resistance in relation to temperature) of the sensors and the resultant voltage are listed on the following
pages. The stated values do not include failures due to: sensor failures; wiring resistance or wiring failures; misreadings due to a
meter connected to measure resistance or voltage at the input.
