IMPORTANT! READ INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE STARTING!
EQUIPMENT APPLICATION WARNING
The customer should note that a failure of this instrument or system, for whatever reason, may
leave an operating process without protection. Depending upon the application, this could result in
possible damage to property or injury to persons. It is suggested that the purchaser review the
need for additional backup equipment or provide alternate means of protection such as alarm
devices, output limiting, fail-safe valves, relief valves, emergency shutoffs, emergency switches,
etc. If additional information is required, the purchaser is advised to contact RAS.
RETURNED EQUIPMENT WARNING
When returning any equipment to RAS for repairs or evaluation, please note the following: The
party sending such materials is responsible to ensure that the materials returned to RAS are clean
to safe levels, as such levels are defined and/or determined by applicable federal, state and/or
local law regulations or codes. Such party agrees to indemnify RASand save RASharmless from
any liability or damage which RAS may incur or suffer due to such party's failure to so act.
ELECTRICAL GROUNDING
Metal enclosures and exposed metal parts of electrical instruments must be grounded in
accordance with OSHA rules and regulations pertaining to "Design Safety Standards for Electrical
Systems," 29 CFR, Part 1910, Subpart S, dated: April 16, 1981 (OSHA rulings are in agreement
with the National Electrical Code).
The grounding requirement is also applicable to mechanical or pneumatic instruments that
include electrically operated devices such as lights, switches, relays, alarms, or chart drives.
EQUIPMENT DAMAGE FROM ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE VOLTAGE
This product contains sensitive electronic components that can be damaged by exposure to an
electrostatic discharge (ESD) voltage. Depending on the magnitude and duration of the ESD, this
can result in erratic operation or complete failure of the equipment. Read supplemental document
S14006 at the back of this manual for proper care and handling of ESD-sensitive components.

INTRODUCTION
1.1 GENERAL INTRODUCTION
The Low Power I/O Expansion Board (LPI/OEB) measures approximately 4” by 7.25” and
mounts piggy-back on either the TeleFlow or TeleRTU CPU Board. Removable card-edge
connectors are provided to accommodate field wiring. A 1.25” by 1.2” cutout area is incorporated into the board’s design to accommodate mounting of the Multivariable Transducer’s Wet End Connector and Balance Board onto the TeleFlow CPU Board. The
LPI/OEB operates in conjunction with Revision 3 and higher TeleFlow CPU Boards and
with TeleRTU CPU Boards. Three versions of the LPI/OEB are available; fully populated
version P/N 392927-01-2 (see Figure 1), depopulated version that supports DI/DO and the
Comm. Port P/N 392927-02-0 and a depopulated version that supports DI/DO only P/N
392927-03-9.
Figure 1 - Low Power I/O Expansion Board
PIP-EXPI/OTF Page 1 Low Power I/O Expansion Board
The Low Power I/O Expansion Board provides the following additional I/O capabilities to
the TeleFlow Plus EGMCs, TeleRTU Plus and TeleRTU Module RTUs and TeleRecorders:
• 8 Discrete I/O
All eight DI/O function in both input and output capacities. Field terminals for each
DI/O are I/O and GND. Each Discrete Input will accept signals from 0 to 16 VDC. The
Discrete Outputs utilize open drain FETs with a maximum working voltage of 16 VDC
and a minimum load of 100 mA. DI/Os are not isolated.
• 4 Analog Inputs (available on 392927-01-2 only)
Two single-ended Analog Inputs are available for 4 to 20 mA or 1 to 5 VDC signal
operation (Jumper Configurable) and two additional single-ended Analog Inputs are
available for 1 to 5 VDC signal operation only. The two 4-20 mA Inputs will support
externally powered transmitters; however, internally powered 4-20 mA transmitters
will require an external power supply. All four channels support low power voltage
output transmitters such as Rosemount and Honeywell. Resolution is 12 bits (1.42
mV) and combined error (including linearity, hysteresis and temperature effects) is ≤ ±0.2%. Each Analog Input channel includes field wiring terminals for signal,
transmitter power (+9.5V), and ground. Note: Analog Inputs are designated AI5
through AI8; AI1 through AI4 are assigned to the TeleRTU CPU.
• 1 Analog Output (available on 392927-01-2 only)
The Analog Output can be configured for 4 to 20 mA or 1 to 5 VDC operation (Jumper
Configurable). Resolution is 12 bits and combined error including linearity, hysteresis
and temperature effects is ≤ ±0.2% after calibration.
• 1 High Speed Counter Input (available on 392927-01-2 only)
The High Speed Counter input will accept pulses (with an input range from 0 to 16
VDC and up to 10KHz) from CMOS or TTL sources, including transistors, FETs,
mechanical relays, or other signaling devices.
• 1 RS-232 or RS-485 Asynchronous Serial Communications Port (not on 392927-03-9)
Note: Only supported by units with TeleFlow/ACCOL Firmware
The Asynchronous Serial Communications Port can be jumper configured for either
RS-232 or RS-485 operation at programmable speeds of up to 19.2 Kbps.
1.1.1 Configuration Hardware
Fully populated Low Power I/O Expansion Boards contain 8 potentiometers, 15 Jumper
Blocks and 5 removable card-edge (Terminal Blocks) connectors. Tabulated information
about Terminal Block, Jumper and Potentiometer assignments are contained in Tables 1, 2
and 3 respectively.
