1.1. ABBREVIATIONS AND CONVENTIONS
For Modbus use, this manual assumes that the reader is familiar with commissioning and configuring of
Modbus devices. It is also assumed that an existing Modbus RTU network on RS-485 wiring with Modbus
master is present.
For Ethernet and web interface use, this manual assumes that the reader knows how to configure or already
has preconfigured Ethernet network.
For use of analog signals and relay output signals, external controller needs to be configured and used. Proper
operating mode must also be selected for the module.
NOTE:
• Data in this document are subject to change.
• Actual implementation might differ by pump model and software revision.
• Make sure you are using the right manual for your product.
• Verify proper operation in the final system.
• Manufacturer cannot be held responsible for problems caused either directly or indirectly by the use
of information in this manual.
2. INTRODUCTION
This manual describes the NMTC module for NMT range of pumps that is either integrated (NMT LAN C) or
separately (NMT Smart C and NMT MAX C) available. This module is used for various remote control
applications, including:
• Remote on/off
• Analog 0..10 V voltage control
• Modbus remote control
• Status relay feedback
• Web access over Ethernet

3.1. CONNECTION CONSIDERATIONS
• All cables connected must be heat-resistant to at least +85 °C.
• All cables connected must be installed in accordance with EN 60204-1.
• All wires to the communications module must be connected to the terminals or cut. No loose wiring
permitted.
• If voltages over 24 V AC/DC are possible on NO, C, NC terminals.
• Wires should be routed so no wire crosses the center barrier.
• Relay cable (NO, C, NC) must be separated from all other wiring with reinforced insulation.

3.2. MODULE INSTALLATION
Only for NMT Smart and NMT MAX pump models.
WARNING!
Before performing any work on
the module, make sure that the
pump and module electricity
supply has been switched off and
that it cannot be accidently
switched on.
Press two top hooks on the display panel. Use
flat tip screwdriver if needed and
simultaneously pull display panel away from
the pump.
Disconnect display panel cable to ease access
to the module wiring. Wiring can now be
connected.
Connect the NMTC module with power
electronics.

Make sure that the position tab and position
slot are aligned.
Push the NMTC module back to the heat sink
