The E2 Refrigeration Controller
Introduction • 1-1
1
Introduction
The E2 controller is a microprocessor-based control
system designed to provide complete control of compres-
sor groups, condensers, refrigerated cases, and other com-
ponents related to refrigeration and building control. The
E2 is the controlling component of a three-network config-
uration (RS485 I/O, Echelon® Lonworks™ Networks, and
Ethernet) that includes input and output communication
boards, remote communication software, and a variety of
sensors, probes, and transducers.
The E2 efficiently operates all systems that support
refrigeration (including compressor racks and condensers)
and other components not directly related to refrigeration
control, such as HVAC systems, anti-sweat heaters, and
sensor control modules.

The E2 RX is available in three models: the RX-300,
RX-400, and RX-100. The E2 RX-300 is capable of con-
trolling a single refrigeration system (including one con-
denser and up to four suction groups). The E2 RX-400 is
capable of controlling two separate refrigeration systems
(including two condensers and up to four suction groups).
The RX-100 is a low-cost alternative to the RX-300 with
fewer capabilities and a monochrome display.
The E2 RX is primarily designed to control tempera-
ture and defrost in refrigerated cases using either direct
control (connected to the E2 via I/O boards or ESR8
lineup control boards) or by using CC-100 case control
boards (connected via the LonWorks Network).
Table 1-1 shows the differences between capabilities
for the RX-300 and RX-400.

The E2 Building Con-
troller
The counterpart to the E2 RX is the E2 BX, which con-
trols HVAC systems for low-rise retail, industrial, and
commercial buildings. The BX’s primary function is to
provide energy-efficient control of air handling units
(AHUs), rooftop units (RTUs), and other systems related
to environment control. In addition, the BX provides
extensive sensor control, logging, and graphing features
that allow the user to view accurate real-time information
about system conditions. The BX is equipped with many
power monitoring and demand control features that give
you the information you need to keep your site’s energy
consumption low.
The E2 BX is available in two models: the BX-300 and
BX-400. The only significant difference between the E2
BX-300 and the E2 BX-400 is the total number of building
control devices that may be operated by a single controller.

The E2 Convenience
Store Controller
The CX controls HVAC, lighting, and refrigeration
systems for convenience store and small-box retail facili-
ties. The CX’s primary function is to provide energy-effi-
cient control of rooftop units as well as refrigeration and
defrost control of display cases and walk-in boxes. In
addition, the CX provides extensive sensor control, log-
ging, and graphing features that allow the user to view
accurate real-time information about system conditions.
The CX is equipped with many power monitoring and
demand control features that give you the information you
need to keep your site’s energy consumption low.
The E2 CX is available in three models: the CX-300,
CX-400, and CX-100. The only significant difference
between the E2 CX-300 and the E2 CX-400 is the amount
of C-Store equipment that may be operated by a single

Networking Overview
1.4.1
E2 I/O Network
Most of the general purpose input and output commu-
nications devices required by the E2 to control refrigera-
tion systems are connected to the E2 via the I/O Network.
The I/O Network is a simple RS485 three-wire connection
that allows data interchange between input boards (which
read sensor values and digital closures), output boards
(which carry out commands from E2’s control applica-
tions), and the E2 itself.
The I/O Network is the same thing as the COM A and
COM D Networks found on Retail Solutions’ previous
generation of controllers, REFLECS. This allows current
owners of Retail Solutions’ Refrigeration Monitor and
Control (RMC) or Refrigeration Monitor and Case Control
(RMCC) controllers to easily retrofit with an E2 RX with-
out need for re-wiring.
Figure 1-2 shows the peripherals that make up the I/O
Network:

I/O Network.
1.4.2
The E2 Echelon Lonworks
Network
The E2 is also compatible with a network platform
called Lonworks. This is most commonly referred to as
“the Echelon Network,” after the company who invented
the platform, the Echelon Corporation.
In general, peripherals with control functions — such
as case controllers, rooftop HVAC controllers, and other
E2 RX and BX units — are interconnected on the Echelon
Network. These controllers do most of their own computa-
tion and system control, but they communicate with other
E2s to provide logging, alarm control, and other functions.
In addition to these, Retail Solutions also offers Echelon-
compatible input and output boards similar to those avail-
able for the RS485 Network.
Figure 1-3 shows the E2 RX peripherals that commu-
nicate across the Echelon Network:
• CC-100 - Case control board - controls all lights,
fans, defrost, and refrigeration for a single case. The
CC-100 controls pulse or stepper valves to provide
precise evaporator control, resulting in better tem-
perature maintenance and energy efficiency.
• ESR8 - Evaporator stepper regulator - the analog
outputs on this board allow the E2 to control circuit
temperature in up to eight circuits using suction-
side mounted electronic evaporator pressure regula-
tors (EEPRs).
• TD3 - Temperature display - has three inputs that
monitor case temperature, product temperature and
defrost status.
• Third Party Echelon Devices - Echelon® LON-
MARK® devices communicate with E2 through its
"Open Echelon" networking feature, and require a
license key and a description file that is loaded into
the E2 that enables communication.
1.4.3
Interconnection With Other
E2s
In large installations where more than one refrigeration
system is present, or where E2s are controlling both refrig-
eration and building HVAC systems in the same site, the
E2s share information with each other across either the
Echelon Network or via Ethernet.

Hardware Overview
This section gives an overview of the E2, the hard-
ware, and how it communicates across the I/O and Eche-
lon Networks to control an entire system.
2.1
E2 Hardware
The E2 controller is programmed to monitor and com-
mand all aspects of a refrigeration or building environ-
mental control system. The E2 uses both an RS485 I/O
Network and a LonWorks Network to gather data from
input devices, communicate with other E2s, and activate
or deactivate loads.
In general, an E2 control network will consist of the
following components:
1.
E2 - The “brain” of the control network, which
performs all necessary computations and sends
commands to the output devices that control the
system.
2.
Input Boards - Transfer readings to the E2.
3.
Output Boards - Banks of relays, digital pulse
outputs, or analog outputs, which the E2 may use
to control loads.
4.
Smart Boards - Boards such as case controllers
(for refrigeration) or rooftop controllers (for
building control) that perform control functions
for an individual case or rooftop unit, and send
the data to the E2 for logging and alarm purposes.
5.
Modem - For remote communication via phone,
if necessary.
6.
Network Wiring - Wiring that connects the E2 to
other E2s, and all the input, output, and smart
boards.
7.
Sensors and Loads - The “eyes” and “hands” of
the control network. Sensors “see” what needs to
be controlled on the network, and Loads are what
can be controlled, or more specifically, be turned
on and off, such as compressors, condensers,
lights, and fans.

The Gateway board is an RS485 to RS485 converter.
One side of the Gateway is always connected to the Retail
Solutions I/O Network. The other side of the Gateway is
the receiver bus (RS485). The receiver bus is connected to
one or more RS485 devices depending on which type of
Gateway is being used. The Gateway interfaces devices to
the Einstein/E2 and legacy Retail Solutions controller
(REFLECS) by simulating 16AI and 8RO boards using
Retail Solutions standard I/O board protocol. The Gate-
way can also convert third-party controller protocols to
Retail Solutions protocol for custom cells created in the
Einstein/E2 to interface with third-party controllers (Dan-
foss, Woodley, etc.).
The Gateway performs one of two basic functions:
1.
It allows control of and/or status of a device using
I/O board simulation
2.
Converts a third-party protocol to Retail Solu-
tions I/O Net protocol and interfaces to a custom
cell in Einstein/E2
2.2.2
MultiFlex Boards
The MultiFlex line of control system boards provides a
wide variety of input, output, and smart control solutions,
all of which are based on a single universal hardware plat-
form. The board design uses flash-uploadable firmware
and plug-in expansion boards to configure the base plat-
form board and apply it for use as an input board, relay
output board, analog output board, or a combination I/O
board.
2.2.2.1
MultiFlex 16 Input Board
The MultiFlex 16 input board offers sixteen combina-
tion analog/digital input points for use by Retail Solutions
E2, Einstein, and REFLECS control systems. The Multi-
Flex 16 may be used in retrofits with no additional hard-
ware or software setup or upgrades.
The MultiFlex 16 is designed to be 100% compatible
with the previous generation of Retail Solutions input
boards (the 16AI), communicates with the site controller
via an RS485 connection to a REFLECS COM A&D Net-
work or an E2 I/O Network. Dip switches on the board set
the network ID (board number) and baud rate.
The board also provides both +5VDC and +12VDC
output voltage points for use in powering transducers or
other input devices that require power.
The MultiFlex 16 has a Hand-held Terminal interface
Section 2.2.4, Hand-held Terminal (P/N 814-3110) that
may be used by technicians to view the input voltage and
engineering unit values for each input point without need
of a voltmeter or front panel controller display.
Table 2-6 shows the part number of the MultiFlex 16.

Hardware Overview • 2-5
The MultiFlex 16 is designed with several features that
make it easy to install, wire, and configure. These main
user interface features are shown in Figure 2-7.
2.2.2.2
MultiFlex Combination Input/
Output Boards
There are several models of the MultiFlex board that
combine the functionalities of input boards, relay output
boards, digital output boards, and analog output boards.
The MultiFlex combination input/output boards are
designed to be replacements for the 8IO Combination
Input/Output Board, but the MultiFlex board provides sev-
eral new hardware options and software features.
The MultiFlex combination I/O boards consist of up
to 16 combination digital/analog inputs, and a combina-
tion of relay outputs, digital outputs, and analog outputs.
All boards feature both +5VDC and +12VDC output
voltage points for use in powering transducers or other
input devices that require power.
On the RS485 Network, the MultiFlex combination
input/output boards present themselves to Einstein, E2, or
REFLECS site controllers as 16AI Analog Input Boards,
8RO Relay Output Boards, 8DO Digital Output Boards,
and/or 4AO Analog Output Boards, depending on what
type of inputs or outputs are equipped. Dip switches are
used to assign network ID numbers to each board type.
The MultiFlex combination input/output boards also
support a Hand-held Terminal interface, Section 2.2.4,
Hand-held Terminal (P/N 814-3110) which allows tech-
nicians to view input values, check relay and analog out-
put states, and override output points with fixed digital or
analog values. For more information on MultiFlex I/O
boards, refer to the MultiFlex I/O Board Installation and
Operation Manual (P/N 026-1704).

2.2.2.3
MultiFlex CUB
The MultiFlex Condensing Unit Board (CUB) is a
“smart” input/output board designed to control single con-
densing units. A single condensing unit is a self-contained
compressor and condenser bearing unit which controls
refrigeration in a single case line-up or walk-in cooler.
The MultiFlex CUB uses the same general hardware
configuration as a MultiFlex 168AO. It is equipped with a
processor and extra memory to allow it to control com-
pressors, condensers, refrigeration, and defrost for a single
condensing unit using on-board I/O and control algo-
rithms.
The MultiFlex CUB has its own installation and opera-
tion manual, (P/N 026-1706).
2.2.2.4
MultiFlex RTU (BX and CX Only)
Similar in design to the MultiFlex combination input/
output boards, the MultiFlex RTU board is designed spe-
cifically for operating package rooftop HVAC units as part
of an E2 BX or REFLECS BCU building control system.
The MultiFlex RTU is designed to be a replacement for the
previous generation ARTC, and is 100% compatible with
all legacy E2 BX and BCU systems.
The MultiFlex RTU board has 16 analog inputs, 8
relay outputs and 4 analog outputs. Most of these I/O
points are reserved for sensors and input devices required
to read environmental data (such as space and supply air
temperature) and control all output devices that control the
environment (such as heat/cool stages and dampers). The
RTU relay outputs are rated for line voltage (240VAC).
The RTU board controls the rooftop unit directly with
its built-in heating, cooling, and humidity control algo-
rithms. It may operate in stand-alone mode, or it may
interface with an E2 BX or BCU to control the store envi-
ronment in zones and pass along logging and alarm infor-
mation.
The MultiFlex RTU has its own installation and opera-
tion manual, (P/N 026-1705).
2.2.2.5
MultiFlex Rooftop Control Board
(RCB) (BX and CX Only)
The MultiFlex Rooftop Control Board (RCB)
(P/N 810-3062) is a rooftop HVAC control board for use
either as a stand-alone controller or in zone control appli-
cations using a Retail Solutions E2 BX building control
system. The MultiFlex RCB is capable of controlling heat
and cool stages, fans, humidification and dehumidification
devices, economizers using on-board I/O and control algo-
rithms, as well as monitor and interact with other building
control systems and peripherals (such as smoke alarms and
CO2 sensors).
The RCB is an improved version of the MultiFlex
RTU. The RCB has sixteen fully configurable analog and
digital input points, whereas the RTU has only eight
inputs, two of which are configurable. The RCB has four
analog outputs for use in controlling variable speed fans,
economizers or modulating heating and/or cooling valves,
whereas the RTU has only two analog outputs for use only
with VS fans and economizers. The RCB also features a
more sophisticated HHT interface and updated algorithms
for controlling heating, cooling, dehumidification, and air
quality.
The MultiFlex RCB has its own installation and opera-
tion manual, (P/N 026-1707).
2.2.2.6
MultiFlex PAK Board
The PAK is a distributed pack (rack) controller that
controls compressors and condenser fans. The PAK can
control up to 8 compressor groups containing up to 16
compressors. The compressor control strategy is Fixed
Steps with setpoint/deadband using ON and OFF delays.
Up to 20 Fixed Steps can be configured.

The PAK can control up to 4 condenser fan groups
containing up to 8 total condenser fans. The PAK con-
denser control strategy is sequential TD control with set-
point/deadband using ON and OFF delays.
The PAK has a compressor/condenser interlock fea-
ture that will override TD control and force the condenser
fans to stage off using the TD control OFF delay when all
compressors are off. This feature can be disabled with an
Enable/Disable setpoint or when the discharge pressure is
above a configurable setpoint.
The MultiFlex PAK boards consist of two circuit
boards: a bottom layer with 16 combination digital/analog
inputs, and a plug-in top layer which contains a combina-
tion of 8 relay outputs and 4 digital DC voltage outputs.
The analog outputs on the Multiflex PAK drive solid
state relays to control the fan stages. The relays control the
compressor groups.
The communication interface is RS485 I/O using the
Standard Extended Address Form for Retail Solutions Dis-
tributed Controllers. Currently, the PAK is designed to
interface with the Retail Solutions E2 controller.
2.2.3
The MultiFlex ESR Board
The MultiFlex ESR Valve Regulator board (P/N 810-
3199), shown in Figure 2-1, is an RS485 I/O Network
electronic stepper valve regulator capable of driving up to
eight stepper motor valves, which are typically used to
control temperature.
The MultiFlex ESR uses suction side variable-position
evaporator regulators (ESRs) to vary evaporator pressure
for an entire circuit and is an alternative to mechanical
EPR control.
The MultiFlex ESR receives input data from a Retail
Solutions E2 controller (via the I/O Network) and then
regulates the stepper valves according to the data from the
E2.
Each MultiFlex ESR board requires a Class 2, 80VA
24VAC center-tapped transformer for power. Retail Solu-
tions transformer (P/N 640-0080) is a multi-tapped pri-
mary transformer that may be used with the MultiFlex
ESR board.
2.2.4
Hand-held Terminal (P/N
814-3110)
The Hand-held Terminal (HHT) is used by manufac-
turers and service technicians to diagnose and test several
of Retail Solutions' existing and legacy products. The
HHT can be used on any Retail Solutions product with an
RJ-11 connector. The most common applications include:
• All MultiFlex I/O boards and the 8ROSMT
• All Gateway boards
• Stand-alone MultiFlex boards (RTU, RCB, PAK,
CUB)

The unit is powered from the RJ-11 connector on the
peripheral equipment. The HHT includes a standard male
RJ-11 to male RJ-11 cable.
2.2.5
The 8RO and 8ROSMT Relay
Boards
The 8RO (P/N 810-3005) board is a general-purpose
board used to connect an E2 to any of eight standard con-
trol relay outputs, but is now obsolete and has been
replaced by the 8ROSMT (P/N 810-3006) board.
To function, the 8RO board must be connected through
either the Echelon Network or the RS485 I/O Network to
the E2. When properly installed, the 8RO receives an elec-
trical impulse from the E2, which either opens or closes
any of eight contact relays. Output definitions within the
E2 allow the user to configure the 8RO board to interact
with any refrigeration system or environmental control
component.
The 8RO board is the direct link between the E2 and
component operation. Information gathered by the con-
troller from the input boards is checked against current
stored setpoints. If differences in the received input data
and the setpoint information are detected, a signal is either
sent to the proper 8RO relay, or an existing signal is dis-
continued. Through the use of this relay signal, control
functions that can be properly maintained by a simple con-
tact closure sequence are effectively operated by the E2.
The 8RO board is easily installed and operated within
the Retail Solutions Network environment because of its
straightforward design. Several of these features are
shown in Figure 2-11.
NOTE: The 9V battery and 9-12V DC adapter
connection are not used on this HHT model
(P/N 814-3110).

4AO Analog Output Board
The 4AO Analog Output Board (P/N 815-3030) (Fig-
ure 2-13) is configured with four analog output connec-
tions that provide a variable voltage signal to any of four
analog devices that may be controlled by a single E2. Two
4-20mA outputs are provided for channels 1 and 2. The
4-20mA outputs provide a variable current for applications
that are either externally powered or that require power
from the 4AO board.
The previous generation 4AO Analog Output Board,
(P/N 810-3030) (Figure 2-14) is configured with four ana-
log output connections that provide a variable voltage sig-
nal to any of four analog devices that may be controlled by
a single E2.
2.2.7
8DO Digital Output Board
and PMAC II Anti-Sweat Controller
For control of anti-sweat heaters, Retail Solutions sup-
plies the 8DO Digital Output board (P/N 810-3050). The
8DO has eight outputs which may pulse up to 150mA at
12VDC.
Since the 8DO is primarily designed to control anti-
sweat heaters, the 8DO is the heart of Retail Solutions’
Pulse Modulated Anti-Sweat Control (PMAC II) panel.
The PMAC II (P/N 851-1000) provides 16 channels of
anti-sweat control circuitry. The PMAC II panel combines
the 8DO with high-capacity relays in a single enclosure,
providing 256 total amps of anti-sweat heater operation.
The 8DO is shown in Figure 2-15. The PMAC II is
shown in Figure 2-16.

Echelon Network
Boards and Peripherals
2.3.1
The 16AIe (Discontinued)
The 16AIe (P/N 810-4000) is an Echelon-based input
board similar in function to its I/O Network counterpart,
the MultiFlex 16 (see Section 2.2.2). The 16AIe receives
input signals through any of 16 two-wire connections. The
board receives either digital or analog data from sensors
wired to any of the 16 input connections located on the
board.
This board has been discontinued and is no longer
available for sale.
2.3.2
The 8ROe (Discontinued)
The 8ROe (P/N 810-4010) is an Echelon-based input
board similar in function to its I/O Network counterpart,
the 8RO. The 8ROe board is the direct link between the E2
and component operation. Information gathered by the
controller from the input boards is checked against current
stored setpoints. If differences in the received input data
and the setpoint information are detected, a signal is either
sent to the proper 8ROe relay, or an existing signal is dis-
continued. Through the use of this relay signal, control
functions that can be properly maintained by a simple con-
tact closure sequence are effectively operated by the E2.
The 8ROe features Form C contacts for wiring outputs
as either normally open or normally closed. Fail-safe dip
switches on the 8ROe allow the installation technician to
specify the desired state of each relay in case of communi-
cations loss.
This board has been discontinued and is no longer
available for sale.
2.3.3
EC-2s
The EC-2 is an advanced refrigerated case controller
that doubles as a temperature and case status indicator.
During refrigeration and defrost, the EC-2 controls most
typical case functions, including fans, defrost, and a pulse
valve on the liquid side of the evaporator to regulate super-
heat.
The EC-2 29x version controls the refrigeration sole-
noid valve to allow the passage of refrigerant to the TXV
valve. The EC-2 39x version controls a pulse valve on the
liquid side of the evaporator to regulate Superheat control.
The EC-2 relies on a parent E2 to handle logging,
alarm control, defrost scheduling, and other case control
functions.
The EC-2 is designed to be mounted on the front of a
refrigerated case. The LED display shows the current case
temperature with one-tenths of a degree's accuracy. The
display can also show alarm codes to immediately notify

floor managers of alarms and notices. Other lights on the
display show the ON/OFF status of refrigeration, defrost,
and fans.
The EC-2 can be easily programmed using either the
four front-panel buttons or an optional infrared remote
control. For security, the buttons can be disabled to pre-
vent tampering.
2.3.4
CC-100 Case Controllers and
CS-100 Case Circuit Controllers
A CC-100 case control board is a “smart” board capa-
ble of controlling all functions for a single case, including
lights, fans, defrost, anti-sweat, and suction side or liquid
side valve control. CC-100s perform these functions inde-
pendently from the E2 RX controllers, but it does rely on a
parent E2 for logging, alarming, providing supplemental I/
O values, and coordinating defrost times among circuits.
There are four different models of the CC-100, each of
which controls a different type of valve.
1.
CC-100P (P/N 810-3160)— Case controller for
liquid-side pulse valves (also called electronic
expansion valves, or EEVs). This model is capa-
ble of controlling up to two pulse valves simulta-
neously (for use in dual-evaporator applications
such as walk-in boxes).
2.
CC-100LS (P/N 810-3170) — Case controller for
liquid-side stepper valves (EEVs).
3.
CS-100 (P/N 810-3177) — Case circuit controller
for suction-side stepper valves (also called elec-
tronic evaporator pressure regulators, or EEPRs).
4.
CC-100H (P/N 810-3171)— A special version of
the CC-100 that is used by a particular manufac-
turer. This board controls temperature in a case
using suction-side stepper valves that regulate
pressure in the evaporator.
The CC-100/CS-100 board is shown in Figure 2-20.
2.3.5
The ESR8 (Discontinued)
The ESR8 electronic suction regulator (P/N 810-3195)
is an Echelon Network-based control board that controls
up to eight separate electronic suction regulator (ESR)
stepper valves. The ESR8 uses suction-side variable posi-
tion ESRs to vary evaporator pressure and control temper-
ature for an entire circuit. The ESR8 offers an economical,
more efficient alternative to TXV control.
The board can be used with either Emerson Flow Con-
trols ESR12 or ESR20 valves as well as a number of com-
mercially available ESR stepper valves. Note that
Emerson Flow Controls supplies both a 24 Volt and a 12
Volt version of the valve. The ESR board is only compati-
ble with the 12 Volt version of the valve.
The board features two LEDs for each valve which
indicate movement and direction. A status LED indicates
the general status of the board.
The ESR8 board is shown in Figure 2-21.
NOTE: There are several variations of the
EC-2. Contact Retail Solutions at 1-800-829-
2724 for more information.

TD3 Temperature Display
The TD3 is a digital display unit designed to show both
case temperature and product temperature for a refriger-
ated store case or walk-in freezer. The TD3 mounts on the
front of a case and connects to up to three input devices (a
case temperature sensor, a product temperature probe, and
either a defrost termination probe or thermostat). The real-
time input values of these probes can be viewed on the
TD3’s digital display by pressing the function button on
the front panel to cycle through the temperatures.
The TD3 is connected to a central E2 RX controller via
the Echelon Network. Input values are sent to the E2 from
the TD3 for use in case circuit control.
A diagram of the TD3 layout is shown in Figure 2-22.
2.3.7
Facility Status Display (FSD)
The FSD reports alarm information and more, (such as
temperatures, occupancy, case status, and setpoints) and
provides a centralized device for store personnel to review
information by communicating with the E2 via Ethernet
connectivity (minimum E2 firmware rev. 2.68F01).
The FSD has a touch screen color display for quick
navigation and can be mounted in a separate, remote loca-
tion from the E2 controller, which enables alarms and
other relevant store information to be viewed from where
it is most convenient for the user.
The FSD can be configured to filter out notices and/or
return-to-normal alarms, and provides a quick review of
all advisories and detailed advisory information. The FSD
also receives alerts and provides annunciated alarms and
alarm information directly to store and department manag-
ers. This compact unit can be installed virtually anywhere
with a standard Ethernet connection and 120V power
source.
If more than one E2 controller is at a site, one E2 must
be set up as the alarm annunciator for that site. The FSD
will receive alarms from that alarm-annunciator E2 for the
entire site. The FSD will point only to a single E2 at a site
(it will not poll multiple controllers for alarms).
For more information, refer to the FSD Manual
(P/N 026-1400).

Mounting
This section gives mounting instructions and dimen-
sions for all controllers and peripherals in the E2 system.
3.1
Mounting the E2
The E2’s box body style is designed to be mounted
against or inside a wall or panel. If mounted against a sur-
face, the controller will be 3.75” off the mounting surface.
If mounted inside a surface, the door and front section of
the back panel will rest 2.0” off the mounting surface. See
Figure 3-1, and Figure 3-2.
3.1.1
Standard Mount
The standard mount is meant for the controller to be
mounted against a wall using the four mounting holes at
the rear of the enclosure shown in Figure 3-3. These holes
are accessible without any removal of boards inside the
enclosure.
3.1.2
Recessed Mount
The recessed mount is meant for the controller to be
bolted against a surface using the eight mounting holes.
The unit may be mounted with the recessed back portion
of the unit inside the wall, and the front portion of the unit
visible through the hole in the wall (Figure 3-1 and Fig-
ure 3-4).
For a recessed mount, you will need to cut a rectangu-
lar hole into the mounting surface 9.0” wide by 10.5” high
(22.86 cm wide by 26.67 cm high). Once this hole is cut,
mount the unit as desired using the eight outer mounting
holes shown in Figure 3-1 and Figure 3-4.

3.1.3
Retrofit Mounting
The retrofit mounting plate and bracket allow the E2 to
be mounted where previous generation controllers (Ein-
stein or REFLECS) were. These two options allow con-
version of the flush-mounted Einstein and the side-
mounted REFLECS.
Figure 3-5 shows the low-profile conversion mount
plate that allows a flush-mounted Einstein to be converted
to a low-profile mount. The plate slides over the back of
the E2 and is attached using the four holes pictured closest
to the cut out (four screws and four nuts are included), but
the plate is equipped with a total of 14 holes for the best
possible fit.
Figure 3-6 shows the conversion bracket that allows a
side-mounted REFLECS to be converted to a side-
mounted E2. The conversion bracket is attached to the
back of the E2 using the two holes at the top and bottom of
the bracket, and aligning the oval openings with the oval
cut-outs in the back of the E2 case. Once the E2 is attached
to the conversion bracket, use the two holes in either side
of the conversion bracket (depending on which side is
needed) to mount the E2 to the wall and replace the
REFLECS controller.

3.1.4
Blank Face
Blank face control is designed to be used in a system
with more than one E2. It has no screen or keyboard and is
logged into remotely from another E2 on the Echelon net-
work. The green General Status LED transmits status
information to the user. See Table 2-3 on page 2-3 for
more information on main board (CPU) status LEDs.
Blank face mounting dimensions are identical to the stan-
dard and recessed mount boxes. See Figure 3-3 and Fig-
ure 3-4.
3.2
Mounting I/O Boards
The 16AI, 8RO, 8DO, 4AO, 8IO, and MultiFlex
boards are usually installed by the refrigeration or building
equipment manufacturer. Therefore, the installer need only
make the necessary connections between the E2 and the
cases, condenser boards, and/or HVAC units.
In some instances, an installer may be required to
mount an I/O board. There are no restrictions on the loca-
tion of these boards; however, for ease of network config-
uration, it is recommended that the boards be located
adjacent to the E2. I/O boards may be mounted without an
enclosure, but they should be mounted in a location that is
not easily accessible to avoid tampering or damage.
3.2.1
Single/Double Enclosures
The Single enclosure and Double enclosure are sup-
plied with four mounting holes in the rear panel of the
enclosure. The mounting holes can be accessed without
removing any of the boards inside the enclosure. Figure 3-
7 shows the dimensions and weight for the Single enclo-
sure. Figure 3-8 shows mounting dimensions for the Dou-
ble enclosure. When mounting boards inside the
enclosure, refer to Figure 3-9 for mounting dimensions
for the MultiFlex, 16AI, 8RO, and the 8DO.

3.2.2
Boards Without Enclosures
(Snap Track)
16AI, 8RO, 8DO, and Gateway boards not supplied
with an enclosure are supplied with a snap-track for easy
installation. The insulation sheet and I/O board must be
removed from the track before the track is mounted. The
snap-track is mounted using the 0.1875” mounting slots.
Figure 3-10 shows this installation procedure.
Figure 3-9 provides mounting dimensions for the Mul-
tiFlex, 16AI, 8RO, and the 8DO boards. Figure 3-11 pro-
vides mounting dimensions for the 4AO.
The Gateway is typically mounted in the same area as
the site controller, near the controller’s 16AI, 8RO, and
other RS485 Network peripherals. The Gateway is
designed to fit into a standard 3" snap track (supplied with
the board) or may be mounted in a panel or on stand-offs.
Follow the dimensions in Figure 3-12 for panel mounting.
The Gateway should be mounted in an environment
with ambient temperature between -40°F and 150°F, with
a non-condensing relative humidity between 5% and 95%.

Generally, the case controller will be mounted within
the raceway or on top of the case. If a controller must be
replaced or installed in the field, it should be located based
on the specific design of the case.
3.3.3
ESR8 (Discontinued)
The ESR8 board is slightly larger than the 16AI and
8RO boards, and is not supplied with a snap-track. If the
ESR8 is supplied without an enclosure, it is supplied with
0.500” long metal stand-off dowels which are pressed into
the mounting holes in the board (See Figure 3-14).
3.3.4
MultiFlex ESR
The MultiFlex ESR is supplied with a snap-track. If
the ESR8 is supplied without an enclosure, it is supplied
with 0.500” long metal stand-off dowels that are pressed
into the mounting holes in the board.
3.3.5
TD3
The TD3 temperature display is almost always
mounted by the OEM as part of the construction of the
refrigerated cases. As such, field installations of TD3s are
rare.
TD3s are typically flush mounted on the front of a
refrigerated case in such a way as to be fully visible from
the sales floor. A hole one inch in diameter must be drilled
into the case to allow the TD3’s wiring harness to extend
into the case and connect to the network, the power source,
and the case-mounted probes. Figure 3-16 shows the
mounting dimensions of the TD3.
3.4
Modem/Communica-
tion Expansion Card Mount-
ing (New Processor Board)
The E2’s modem/communication expansion card
mounts above the PIB in the back of the enclosure box as
shown in Figure 3-17. The standoffs and mounting holes
are located above the PIB in the back of the enclosure box.
Use the mounting screws and standoffs to secure the card
in place. The ribbon cable plugs into the "Modem/Com 6"
slot on the motherboard. For more information on the

3.4.1.1
The Internal Modem
The E2’s internal modem mounts in the PC-104 slot
located at the top left of the E2 main board (See Figure 3-
18). Disconnect power to the unit, and carefully plug the
male pins on the back of the modem card into the E2’s PC-
104 slot. Use the standoffs and screws supplied with the
modem card to secure the card to the main board, as
shown in Figure 3-18. When finished, restore power to the
E2.
3.4.2
Two-Channel and Four-
Channel Repeaters
3.4.2.1
Mounting Repeaters Overview
Repeaters are used to extend the maximum length of a
segment of Echelon cable, or to act as a bridge between
two devices that are farther apart than the cable’s maxi-
mum node-to-node distance. Retail Solutions offers two
versions of repeaters for the E2 controller: an external
two-way repeater that comes in an enclosure (P/N 832-
1010), and a four-channel repeater mounted in the E2 (P/N
832-4830).
For more information about installing repeaters and
routers, please refer to the Repeater and Router Installa-
tion and Networking Guide (P/N 026-1605).
3.4.2.2
Mounting the Two-Channel
Repeater
The external repeater (P/N 832-1010) is externally
mounted within its own enclosure.
Figure 3-17 - Modem/Comm Card Mounting in E2
NOTE: Because the modem/communication
expansion card and four-channel repeater card
share the same mounting platform, they must
be used separately.
CAUTION: Power down the E2 before plug-
ging the modem into the PC-104 slot. Failure
to do so can damage the modem and void the
warranty.
Figure 3-18 - Mounting the Internal Modem Board
Sensors and Transducers
Mounting • 3-7
For external repeaters, the mounting bracket at the bot-
tom of the enclosure has two 0.156” bolt holes on either
side. Use the bolt holes to mount these repeaters in the
field as necessary (see Figure 3-19).
When mounting external repeaters, keep in mind that
they require a 24VAC Class 2 power source in order to
operate. This will likely require a transformer such as P/N
640-0041 (110V) or P/N 640-0042 (220V) to be mounted
near the external repeater enclosure. Make sure there will
be enough space next to the repeater to mount the trans-
former.
3.4.2.3
Mounting the Four-Channel
Repeater
The four-channel repeater (P/N 832-4830) serves the
same basic function as the two-channel repeater: boosting
signal strength. However, the four-channel repeater is also
useful as a means of connecting the E2 to its associated
devices using more than one daisy chain.
With a four-channel repeater mounted in the E2, you
can run as many as three daisy chain segments out into the
field, each of which can be as long as the prescribed Eche-
lon maximum wire length. The fourth channel of the
repeater can be used to connect other E2s in a separate
daisy-chain, eliminating the need to run cable from the
field back to the next E2.
The standoffs and mounting holes are located above
the PIB in the back of the enclosure box. Use the mounting
screws and standoffs to secure the four-channel repeater in
place, and connect the repeater to the PIB with the two-pin
power connector located next to the battery.
3.5
Sensors and Transduc-
ers
3.5.1
Pressure Transducers
Retail Solutions transducers convert pressure readings
to proportional electrical signals between 0.5 and 4.5
volts. The transducer is designed with a 1/8-inch male FPT
fitting for connection to a standard access fitting. If the fit-
ting is configured with a Schrader valve, this fitting will
have to be removed and replaced with a 1/8-inch female
fitting. Each pressure transducer is supplied with 20 feet of
cable for connection to a 16AI input board.
3.5.1.1
Mounting
The pressure transducers should be mounted in a verti-
cal position (pressure port down) above crank case oil
level to prevent drainage of oil into transducer port.
3.5.2
Inside Temperature Sensor
3.5.2.1
Location
Inside temperature sensors are supplied within a wall-
mounted enclosure for attachment to a standard switch
plate.
The temperature sensor should be located in a central
location—within the zone to be measured—away from
doors, windows, vents, heaters, and outside walls that
could affect temperature readings. In addition, the sensor

should not be mounted above other sensors that generate
heat during operation (such as relative humidity sensors).
The indoor temperature sensor should be between four
and six feet from the floor.
3.5.2.2
Mounting
Mount the sensor using the screws provided as shown
in Figure 3-21.
3.5.3
Outside Temperature Sen-
sor
3.5.3.1
Location
The outside or ambient temperature sensor should be
located on the north side of the building, preferably under
an eave to prevent sun-heated air from affecting the tem-
perature of the sensor.
3.5.3.2
Mounting
The temperature sensor may be mounted using any
standard tubing clamp. Retail Solutions also offers an alu-
minum cover and clamp (P/N 303-1111) which may be
mounted as shown in Figure 3-22 (fasteners are not pro-
vided).
3.5.4 Insertion Temperature Probe
3.5.4.1
Location
The 12-inch insertion temperature probe may be used
to monitor temperature in either the supply or return air
ducts of the AHU or RTU.
3.5.4.2
Mounting
The insertion probe may be mounted in any orientation
within the duct as long as the probe is in the air flow of the
duct. The probe housing should be secured using self-tap-
ping screws. A 0.250” diameter hole is required for the
probe. Figure 3-23 shows the installation of the insertion
probe (self-tapping screws are not provided).
3.5.5
Supply and Return Air Sen-
sors
In addition to the 12-inch insertion temperature probe,
Retail Solutions uses the same temperature sensor used for

outside and inside temperature to monitor supply and
return air temperature. When used in this application, the
sensors are supplied without enclosure covers. The sensors
should be mounted directly in the air stream of the supply
or return air duct. The sensors are not supplied with any
mounting hardware for this application.
3.5.6
Refrigeration System Tem-
perature Probes and Sensors
3.5.6.1
Location
Retail Solutions supplies several temperature monitor-
ing devices including bullet sensors, pipe mount sensors,
immersion probes, insertion probes, and sensors for high
temperature applications. Each of these sensors is gener-
ally installed on the system by the equipment manufac-
turer. If a device must be added to the system, refer to the
information supplied with the device and consult the
refrigeration equipment manufacturer. Table 3-1 lists some
typical sensor applications and the sensor or probe most
suited for that purpose.
3.5.6.2
Mounting Bullet and Pipe Mount
Sensors
Bullet or pipe mount sensors mounted on refrigerant
lines should be secured with a Panduit low temperature
cable tie, number PLT2S-M120, or equivalent. For pipe
mount sensors, the curved surface should be placed
against the pipe and the tie should be positioned in the
groove on the top surface of the sensor. A second tie
should be used to secure the lead to the pipe for additional
support.
Sensors located on refrigerant lines should be insulated
to eliminate the influence of the surrounding air. A self-
adhering insulation that will not absorb moisture is recom-
mended to prevent ice logging at the sensor location.
The sensor should be positioned on the side of the line
as shown in Figure 3-24.
3.5.7
Product Temperature
Probes
The product temperature probe is designed to be used
alongside food products in a refrigeration case or freezer.
The product probe uses a thermistor type temperature sen-
sor in a sealed, cylindrical container (approximately 16
oz.). A magnet is contained at the bottom the probe’s
enclosure to allow easy attachment to a side or bottom of a
refrigeration case.
3.5.8
Humidity Sensors and
Humidistats
3.5.8.1
Indoor RH Sensor
The indoor relative humidity sensor should be
mounted in a central location within the zone to be mea-
sured, away from doors, windows, vents, heaters, and out-
side walls that could affect temperature readings. The
sensor should be between four and six feet from the floor.
Note that this sensor generates a small amount of heat;
therefore, do not mount temperature sensors directly
above RH sensors.
Mount RH sensor (P/N 203-5751) as follows:
1.
With a flat-head screwdriver, push down the
middle tab on the top of the sensor case and
pop the lid off to expose the circuit board.
2.
Insert the flat-head screwdriver into the two
slots on either side of the top of the sensor
case and twist to separate the back plate from
the case.
3.
Remove the knock-outs from the back plate
before mounting so wires may be threaded
through.

Replace the cover on top of the back plate by
lining up the tabs, and snap the lid back into
place.
3.5.8.2
Outdoor RH Sensors
The outdoor RH sensor (P/N 203-5761)
The outdoor RH sensor (P/N 203-5761) should always
be mounted on the north side of the building if in the
Northern Hemisphere, or on the south side if in the South-
ern Hemisphere. The sensor should be mounted under an
overhang or otherwise out of direct sunlight (if possible).
Mount the RH sensor (P/N 203-5761) as follows:
1.
Secure the rear side of the enclosure to the out-
side wall using the two mounting brackets, as
shown in Figure 3-26. The tube holding the sen-
sor element should point straight down.
2.
If you will be running the sensor cable through
the wall behind the sensor, cut or drill a hole in
the wall through the hole in the enclosure.
3.5.8.3
Duct-mounted Insertion RH
Probe
Retail Solutions specs a duct-mounted relative humid-
ity (RH) sensor (P/N 203-5771) with a 0-5VDC output for
use in building control and anti-sweat control applications
using Retail Solutions input boards.
1.
Cut a small circular hole in the duct large enough
for the sensor tube to fit through.
2.
Bolt the sensor enclosure against the outside of
the duct wall so that the sensor element fits
through the hole and into the duct. The enclosure
may be mounted horizontally, as shown in Fig-
ure 3-27 or vertically. The screws should be tight
enough for the foam gasket around the bottom of
the sensor to form an airtight seal between the
hole in the duct wall and the outside air.

The Light Level Sensor (P/N 206-0002) should be
located facing away from direct sunlight, preferably facing
north in the Northern Hemisphere or south in the Southern
Hemisphere.
3.5.10.2
Mounting
The light level sensor is not supplied with mounting
hardware. The sensor should be mounted horizontally
through the knockout of a standard weather-resistant junc-
tion box. Figure 3-28 shows a typical mounting configu-
ration.
3.5.11
Liquid Level Sensors
Retail Solutions’ probe type liquid level sensor (P/N
207-1000) is usually installed by the refrigeration and
equipment manufacturer. If a replacement sensor must be
installed in the field, refer to the instructions supplied with
the device, or consult the equipment manufacturer.
3.5.12
Refrigerant Leak Detectors
Retail Solutions supplies the Refrigerant Leak Detec-
tor System as a stand-alone unit that monitors refrigeration
leaks in up to sixteen zones. Consult the Refrigerant Leak

4.1.4
Power Interface Board
The PIB interfaces the power and most all communica-
tions with the main board, and contains all field wiring
connections.
4.2
Powering the E2
Starting at the lower right side of the PIB, the first plug
is the 24VAC input. This must terminate into the power
supply transformer.
E2 requires 24VAC Class 2 power, which is supplied
by a non-center-tapped Class 2 transformer.
Retail Solutions supplies two transformers that may be
used to power E2s: one for use with 110VAC (P/N 640-
0041), and one for use with 220VAC (P/N 640-0042).
Both transformers are rated at 50VA, and each will power
one E2 unit.
4.2.1
RS485 Ports
On the lower left side of the PIB are two RS485 Net-
work connector ports. This is where all I/O boards (except
the case controllers, TD3, ESR8, and Echelon I/O boards)
are connected.
4.2.2
RS485 Jumpers
There is one set of RS485 jumpers for each RS485
port. Jumpers JP1-3 are located directly above the first
connector port, and jumpers JP4-6 are located directly
above the second connector port. The RS485 termination
jumpers (JP1, JP2, JP3, JP4, JP5, and JP6) are used to ter-
minate the devices at the beginning and end of an RS485
Network. If the E2 is the beginning of all RS485
I/O Networks, all three of these jumpers should be set to
the UP position.
4.2.3
Echelon Network Connect
The next connector is the Echelon Network plug. The
one connector handles both input and output connections.
The input and output cables are connected directly to the
Echelon plug. This plug is the connection to the Case Con-
troller (CC-100), the Evaporator Stepper Regulator board
(ESR8), TD3s, and other E2s.
4.2.4
Echelon Jumpers
The two Echelon jumpers (JP7 and JP8) are located
next to the Echelon Network port.
Additional information about Echelon Networking and

Add-On E2 Peripherals
The E2 has many plug-in card options to choose from:
• Plug-in Echelon card with mounting screw
• RS485 Modem/communication expansion card
• Plug-in digital I/O Network card
• RS485 port card
• Plug-in Four-Channel Internal Repeater

offs (previous generation processor board only)
4.3.1
Echelon Card Plug-In (P/N
537-4860) with mounting screw (P/N
101-4201)
Echelon is a two-conductor network that interconnects
E2s and other associated devices. All Echelon devices are
wired together using the daisy-chain method of network
structuring. For the E2 to communicate on the Echelon
Network, the plug-in card must be connected. No Echelon
Network communication can occur without the card.
The plug-in Echelon card connects to the main proces-
sor board on the far right side of the board just above the
Power Interface Board (PIB) connector. The connector
for the plug-in Echelon card is labeled Echelon Plug-In so
it is easy to find.

E2 RS485 Port Card (P/N
537-4890)
The E2 main board has two RS485 Network channels,
allowing you to connect input and/or output boards via the
RS485 Network. This optional card adds a second RS485
port (COM4) to the E2, allowing a connection to the ISD
compressors, Control Link devices, and other supported
MODBUS devices.
The plug-in RS485 Network card connects to the
power interface board between the two fixed RS485 I/O
Network connectors and the battery.

Plug-In Four-Channel Inter-
nal Repeater
The four-channel repeater (P/N 832-4830) boosts sig-
nal strength on Echelon Networks. However, the four-
channel repeater is also useful as a means of connecting
the E2 to its associated devices using more than one daisy
chain.
With a four-channel repeater mounted in the E2, you
can run as many as three daisy chain segments out into the
field, each of which can be as long as the prescribed Eche-
lon maximum wire length. The fourth channel of the
repeater can be used to connect other E2s in a separate
daisy-chain, eliminating the need to run cable from the
field back to the next E2.
The plug-in Four Channel Internal Repeater card con-
nects above the power interface board on the case mounts
using standoffs and screws.
See Section 3.4.2.3, Mounting the Four-Channel
Repeater for more information.

Low Battery Notification
The E2 keeps track of how long the E2 battery has
been active, and will display a battery icon
at the top
of the E2 screen whenever the battery is reaching the end
of its recommended battery life. If a battery has less than
30% of its battery life left, a yellow battery icon will
appear at the top of the screen. If the battery has less than
10% life left, or if the battery switch is currently disabled,
a red battery icon will appear.
4.4.2
The Battery Enable Switch
The battery enable switch is located near the battery
clip on the processor board. This switch should be set to
OFF whenever the E2 unit is not being used to preserve
battery life. If the E2 unit is powered up with this switch
set to OFF, a red battery icon will appear at the top of the
screen. Check the position of this switch, and set it to the
ON position. You will have to perform a battery test to
clear the battery icon from the screen. See Section 4.4.3,
Battery Test below:
4.4.3

5.1
Overview
E2’s Serial Configuration is the centralized location
where all communication ports (COM ports) may be set up
in the E2 controller. To support the increasing number of
third-party devices that E2 can communicate with, E2 has
the expanded flexibility of dynamic COM ports that will
support different types of communication protocols to
meet the specific needs of the user.
Previously, all COM ports were pre-defined to support
a specific type of serial device. E2 now has five configu-
rable COM ports that can communicate with different
devices on the network.
5.2
COM Ports
The Serial Connection Manager is located in General
Setup under the Serial tab. To access Serial connections to
set up the COM ports, press Alt + M, or from the E2 Main
Menu:
1. - System Configuration
2. - System Information
3. - General Controller Info
4.
C3: Serial tab
To begin, first select the COM port you wish to set up,
choose the protocol, and set the baud rate.
The user associates the various hardware devices with
the COM ports listed under the Serial tab. Five COM ports
have user-configurable values such as baud rate and con-
nection type settings.
Pre-Sets
COM1 is pre-set for serial connection. COM3 is pre-
set with a modem-only connection type. The COM5 con-
nection is a non-configurable E2 keyboard port.

ware Setup
After the COM card has been connected to the E2, set
up the associated COM port in the Serial Connection Man-
ager:

COM2 may be configured to the type of serial devices you are connecting:
I/O Net (default), ISD 1.0, IMC/Prodigy, or MODBUS 1-3. These devices are connected via
the RS485 connectors (for wiring convenience, two connectors are available) on the PIB.
The connection type and baud rate are configurable.
COM3
COM3 is a pre-set connection type for modems only (optional). The E2 modem/expansion
communication card (P/N 637-4871) has a plug-in modem that uses the phone line jack (RJ-
11). The 637-4872 version has a plug-in for an external modem. Configure the baud rate
and modem type for either the internal modem or the external modem.
COM4
COM4 is located on the optional RS485 COM card for configurable devices. Configure
COM4 to the type of device you are connecting: I/O Net, ISD 1.0 (RX unit default), IMC/
Prodigy (BX/CX unit default), or MODBUS 1-3. The RS485 COM card is connected above
the COM2 dual RS485 connectors on the PIB. The connection type is configurable.
COM6
COM6 is located on E2's optional modem/expansion communication card, which can be
configured for RS485 operation. Configure COM6 to the type of device you are connecting:
I/O Net, ISD 1.0 (RX unit default), IMC/Prodigy (BX/CX unit default), or MODBUS 1-3.
(RS232 operation will be available in future versions of E2.) Both connectors cannot be
used at the same time. Configure the connection type, baud rate, and parity. (The expansion
card mounts onto the four standoffs located on the back of the E2 enclosure above the PIB,
and is compatible with E2 processor board version 237-4801 only). For more information

The RS485 Network and Hardware
Setup
Previous versions of E2 hardware and firmware before
version 2.30F01 only supported one I/O network port,
with an optional expansion card that could be used for
connection to Copeland ISD compressors or IMC/Prodigy
S-Bus rooftop unit controllers. Beginning with E2 version
2.30F01, E2s now have up to three RS485 network ports,
each of which may be configured as an I/O network, IMC/
Prodigy, ISD, or ECT MODBUS port.
Section 5, Serial Configuration of this manual covers
how to assign COM ports COM2, COM4, and COM6 to
different RS485 network types. Section 6 (this section)
explains the network types, the hardware that may be con-
nected to each type, and how to configure the devices.
6.1
The I/O Network
All boards and controllers manufactured by Retail
Solutions for communication with E2 via RS485 are gen-
erally referred to as I/O boards, and the network they are
connected to is referred to as the I/O network (or I/O
Net).
A COM port configured as I/O Net may connect with
up to 127 I/O boards. This network is used by the E2 to
read data from the input boards and to send commands to
the analog and digital output boards. Some unit control-
lers, such as CCB case controllers and MultiFlex RCBs,
also communicate with the E2 via the I/O Network.
6.1.1
I/O Board Names and Termi-
nology
There are many input, relay output, analog output, and
combination I/O boards available from Retail Solutions
for use with the E2. However, separate from the various
MultiFlex unit controller models, E2 only recognizes four
different types of I/O boards: 16AI, 8RO, 4AO, and 8DO.
All E2-compatible I/O boards communicate with E2 as if
they are one or more of these types of boards.
In this manual and in the E2 interface, when you
encounter these board names, bear in mind that they are
terms that represent many types of boards. Table 6-1
describes all the actual boards or board components for
each E2 “board type.”

6.1.2
MultiFlex-Plus (+) Board
The MultiFlex-plus board contains a replacement
RS485 transceiver chip that presents less of a load on the
network than a non-plus board. This increases the maxi-
mum number of devices that can be placed on the network,
but not the number of board types an Einstein controller
can communicate with.
The MultiFlex-plus board now accounts for only 1/8
the load of a non-plus board with 32 total devices on the
network (one Einstein controller + 31 boards). This new
conversion allows for the placement of 256 devices on the
network (one Einstein controller + 255 boards). The num-
ber of boards an Einstein controller can support is
increased from 31 up to 255 using MultiFlex-plus boards
only. In other words, the number of I/O net devices are no
longer restricted by the I/O net 31-node limitation.
6.1.2.1
Board Designation
Plus boards are always identified with a plus (+) sign
that appears on the plastic insulating cover on the top of
the board, after the board name.
6.1.2.2
Board Calculations
With X as the number of plus boards and Y as the num-
ber of non-plus boards, use the following equation to
ensure that the number of devices on your network has not
exceeded the maximum load limitation of the network. For
example, if the total number of devices is less than 256,
the maximum load limitation has not been exceeded.
6.1.3
Wiring Types
Retail Solutions specifies all RS485 I/O and MOD-
BUS wiring used by the E2 must be Belden 8641
(24AWG, 300V, Retail Solutions P/N 135-8641); Belden
8761 (22 AWG, 300V not stocked by Retail Solutions); or
a 600V-shielded 22AWG equivalent stocked by Retail
Solutions (P/N 135-0600). These are two-connector
shielded twisted pair cables that support a maximum daisy
chain cable distance of 4000 feet (1219 m) between the E2
and the end device on the network.
6.1.4
The I/O Network Structure
(Daisy Chains)
The RS485 Input/Output (I/O) Network connects all
input and output communication boards together in a sin-
gle open communications loop. This loop, or “daisy
chain,” connects the E2 to multiple input and output com-
munication boards, and terminates at the last input or out-
put board on the network. A diagram of this network
arrangement is shown in Figure 6-1.
6.1.5
Network Noise Minimiza-
tion
Site environments will frequently have numerous
sources of high EMI, or “noise,” that must be accounted
for when routing RS485 network cable. Although the
cable is shielded against noise, the installer must follow
best practices for minimizing network noise.
In general, installers should follow these guidelines
when installing RS485 networks:

• Avoid running cable next to noise-generating
devices, such as motor starters, contactors, invert-
ers, fluorescent light ballasts, arc welders, etc. If
possible, keep cable less than 1 foot away from
noise-generating devices (ideally, at least 5 feet).
• Do not run RS485 cable in the same conduit as
high-voltage wiring, such as 120VAC or 240VAC
power wiring. Keep RS485 cable a minimum of 3
inches away from high-voltage wiring (ideally, at
least 12 inches). If RS485 must cross paths with
high-voltage wiring, cross them perpendicular —
running RS485 and high-voltage wire in parallel
increases the amount of noise induced on the net-
work.
• Ensure you are grounding each input device’s 0V
power terminal to a separate earth ground, and set-
ting the termination and biasing jumpers as
instructed in Section 6.1.8, Setting the Terminating
and Biasing Jumpers.
For more instructions on best practices for minimizing
noise, refer to publication 026-1903, E2 Controller Wir-
ing Practices, available in the Product Manuals section of
the Emerson Climate Technologies Web site:
www.emersonclimate.com
6.1.6
Network ID Numbers (Board
Numbers)
Each device on an RS485 segment has either a network
dip switch or rotary dials that must be used to assign the
board a unique network ID number.
The network ID number makes a board unique from
other boards on the network of the same type. This allows
E2 to find it and communicate with it easily.
Boards of the same type should be numbered in
sequence, starting with one and continuing with two,
three, and so forth. For example, if a segment contains
four 16AI boards and five 8RO boards, you should num-
ber the 16AIs one, two, three, and four; and the 8ROs one,
two, three, four, and five. The same should be done with
multiple 4AO and 8DO boards, and IRLDS leak detection
units.
For all boards, except 8IO and 8DO boards, the net-
work dip switch labeled S1 (or S3 for the 16AI board) is
used to set the unique board number of the unit and the
baud rate. The 8IO and 8DO uses rotary dials to set the
board number of the unit.
Numbering the MultiFlex Combination I/O Boards
When it comes to network numbering, the MultiFlex
Combination Input/Output boards (88, 88AO, 168,
168AO, and 168DO) are special cases. They are actually a
combination of three types of Retail Solutions boards: the
inputs are configured like a 16AI, the relay outputs are
configured like an 8RO, and the analog outputs are config-
ured like a 4AO.
When a MultiFlex combo board is present on the net-
work, it must be addressed like all three board types.
Therefore, when numbering these boards, you must set a
unique number for both the 16AI, 8RO, and 4AO compo-
nents of the board.
Addressing the MultiFlex Boards
For MultiFlex boards, set positions 1 to 5 on S3 for the
16AI component and positions 1 to 5 on S4 for the 8RO
component. Set positions 6 to 8 on S4 for the 4AO or 4DO
segment. For MultiFlex board controllers, use positions 1
to 5 on S3 to set the address.
Addressing the MultiFlex ESR Boards
The MultiFlex ESR uses standard Retail Solutions I/O
Network addressing. Set positions 1 to 5 on S1 to set the
network ID (address) of the MultiFlex ESR from 1 to 31.
6.1.7
Setting the Baud Rate
All I/O boards have dip switches that determine the
baud rate at which they communicate. Currently, the baud
rate dip switch in network components may be set at either
4800, 9600, 19200, and 38400. Setting of the baud rate is
accomplished using dip switches (refer to the board’s
installation sheets at the end of this section for specific dip
switch settings).
Baud Rate for the E2
The baud rate default for E2 is 9600.
Baud Rate for the Gateway
The Gateway can be set to either 9600 baud or 19.2K
baud by dip switch #6. “ON” places the rate at 9600 baud
while “OFF” sets it at 19.2K baud.
Dip switches 6 and 7 control the baud rate at which
the Gateway communicates with the site controller on the
RS485RS485 Network. These switches must be set to the
same baud rate setting as the E2 or REFLECS (usually
9600 baud).
Dip switch 8 controls the baud rate at which the Gate-
way communicates with the other devices on the Receiver
Bus Network. This baud rate may only be set to either
9600 baud (switch DOWN) or 19200 baud (switch UP).
All Gateways and receivers on the Receiver Bus Network
must have the same baud rate dip switch setting. It is rec-
ommended you use 9600 baud as the Receiver Bus Net-
work baud rate.
Baud Rate for the 8IO, 8DO, and ARTC
There are three I/O devices that do not have baud rates
determined by dip switches. They are as follows:
6-4 • E2 RX/BX/CX I&O Manual
026-1610 Rev 12 25-APR-2011
1.
The 8IO - this board automatically detects the
baud rate being used by the I/O devices on the
network, and adjusts to match their baud rate.
2.
The 8DO - this board automatically detects the
baud rate being used by the I/O devices on the
network, and adjusts to match their baud rate.
3.
The ARTC - this board is fixed at 9600 baud.
Baud Rate for MultiFlex Boards
On all MultiFlex boards, switches 6 and 7 on S3 are
used to set the baud rate. To communicate at 9600 baud,
set switch #6 to the UP position and #7 to DOWN. For
19200 baud, set switch #6 to the DOWN position and #7
to UP.
Baud Rate for the MultiFlex ESR
Set the baud rate on the MultiFlex ESR board by set-
ting switches 6 and 7 on the network address terminal
(labeled S1).
To communicate at 9600 baud, set switch #6 to the UP
position, and switch #7 to DOWN. For 19200 baud, set
switch #6 to the DOWN position and switch #7 to UP.
(Currently, 9600 baud is recommended).
Recommended Baud Rate
The baud rate should be set to 9600 baud in all cases.
6.1.8
Setting the Terminating and
Biasing Jumpers
The I/O Network connector, for all I/O boards and the
E2, has a set of three terminating jumpers. They are the
jumpers positioned closest to the I/O Network connector.
The E2 has jumpers next to each of the COM ports that
can be configured as an I/O network (COM2, COM4, and
COM6).
The purpose of the jumpers is to provide network ter-
mination resistance and network biasing to the two ends,
or termination points, of the daisy chain. One device at the
beginning and one device on the end must be terminated
and biased by placing all three jumpers in the UP position.
All other devices on the daisy chain must have all three
jumpers set to the DOWN position. Figure 6-2 shows the
proper terminating jumper settings for the E2 and for all I/
O boards.
6.1.9
Powering the I/O Boards
All models of E2-compatible I/O boards require
24VAC Class 2 input power. Some boards such as the
16AI, 8RO, 4AO, 8DO, MultiFlex ESR, and MultiFlex 16
use a center-tapped power source. All other models, such
as the 8IO and MultiFlex Combination I/O boards, may
use non-center tapped power sources.
Retail Solutions supplies a wide variety of 24VAC
transformers with varying sizes and either with or without
center taps. Table 6-2 shows the transformer sizes and
whether they are center-tapped or non-center-tapped.
Table 6-3 lists each board, the board’s rating, and whether
or not the board must use center-tapped power.
Figure 6-2 - I/O Network Termination Jumper Settings
THE TERMINATING JUMPERS MUST
BE IN THE UP POSITION IF AT THE
BEGINNING OR END OF THE NETWORK.
THE TERMINATING JUMPERS MUST
BE IN THE DOWN POSITION IF NOT AT
THE BEGINNING OR END OF THE NETWORK.

IMC/Prodigy Rooftop Unit Controllers
The RS485 Network and Hardware Setup • 6-5
To select a power transformer for a board or a series of
boards:
1.
Determine what the total VA is for the boards
that will be powered by the transformer (see
Table 6-3).
Example: Two MultiFlex 168AOs (15 VA
each), and one 8DO (18 VA) boards are to
be powered by one transformer. The total
VA is:
2.
Use a transformer that has a power rating
higher than the total calculated VA (see Table
6-2).
Example: For boards totalling 48VA, a 56VA trans-
former is sufficient, since 56VA is greater than 48VA.
I/O Board Transformers should be located within 10
feet of the board it is powering, preferably within the
board enclosure.
6.1.9.1
Wiring Types
For powering I/O boards, use only the listed wire types
from Table 6-4. Three-conductor non-shielded cables are
the recommended wire for connecting between the center
tapped transformer and the I/O boards. The third conduc-
tor should be connected to earth ground. If boards use a
center-tapped transformer, also connect the center tap to
the earth grounded third conductor.
The wire length from the transformer and the number
of boards connected to the same wire determines the type
wire gauge used. In most cases, the distance between the I/
O boards and the transformer that supplies power to them
is not enough to be concerned with. But it is very impor-
tant not exceed this maximum wire length or the boards
will malfunction.
Use these formulas to determine if the wire gauge you
are using fits within specification:
Sensors requiring 24VAC can be powered from the
same transformer powering the input board as long as the
resulting total load of both the input board(s) and the sen-
sor(s) connected to the transformer does not exceed the
transformer’s VA rating. Consult Section 6.1.9, Powering
the I/O Boards, and Section 8.6.1, Powering Echelon
Devices for more information.
6.1.10
Board Installation
The following pages give step-by-step graphical
instructions on all steps necessary to install each I/O Net-
work device so that it is powered up and able to communi-
cate with E2. If these devices have not yet been mounted,

above may communicate with IMC/Prodigy rooftop units
equipped with IMC/Prodigy control boards version M4-1
or higher. E2 controllers version 2.30F01 and above may
use any of the RS485 I/O ports (COM2, COM4, or
COM6) as a IMC/Prodigy communication port. Version
2.21F01 E2 units may only connect IMC/Prodigys to an
RS485 Expansion Card. Connectivity to IMC/Prodigy is a
licensed feature and must be purchased from Retail Solu-
tions.
The IMC/Prodigy interface has its own technical bulle-
tin explaining installation, network setup, and E2 configu-
ration. Refer to Technical Bulletin 026-4117.
6.3
ECT MODBUS
E2 controllers version 2.30F01 or greater may select
ECT MODBUS as a network type. The E2 communicates
with MODBUS devices including but not limited to Con-
trol Link CD, Control Link RSC, and Control Link ACC.
The Control Link products have their own documents
explaining device configuration, networking, and E2
setup:
• 026-4600 - Control Link RSC Installation Instruc-
tions
• 026-4601 - Control Link CD Installation Instruc-
tions
• 026-4703 - Control Link ACC Installation Instruc-
tions
• 026-4602 - Control Link ECT MODBUS Network-
ing to E2s (covers MODBUS installation for all
Control Link models)
6.3.1
Control Techniques Drive
(VSD)
Using the MODBUS network type, E2 controllers can
communicate with the Control Techniques variable-speed
drive (VSD). There are three different VSD models the E2
communicates with: Commander SE, Commander SK,
and Unidrive SP drive types.
Note that all CT drives are 2 stop bits, with no parity.
Since ECT MODBUS specifies 1 stop bit, CT drives will
configure the General Services setting for stop bits and
always communicate with the drives using 2 stop bits. The
E2 calculates the difference and adjusts for the additional
stop bit.
Configure the COM port the CT drive will connect to
by pressing Alt + M to open the serial configuration man-
ager. Set the COM port to MODBUS and the baud rate
(match the baud rate on the CT drive). For more informa-
tion on setting up serial ports, go to Section 5, Serial Con-
figuration.
The Control Techniques VSD has its own technical
bulletin that explains interfacing with E2 (P/N 026-4122).
The installation and operation manual explaining the VSD
is maintained by Control Techniques. Contact your Con-
trol Techniques representative for a copy of this manual.
6.3.2
Copeland ISD Compressors
E2 controllers version 2.21F01 and above may com-
municate with Copeland ISD compressors using the ECT
MODBUS network. E2 controllers version 2.30F01 and
above may use any of the RS485 I/O ports (COM2,
COM4, or COM6) as a Copeland ISD communication
port. Version 2.21F01 E2 units may only connect Cope-
land ISD compressors to an RS485 Expansion Card.
The installation and operation manual explaining the
Copeland ISD interface is maintained by Copeland. Con-
tact your Copeland representative for a copy of this man-
ual.
6.3.3
XR, XEV, and XEV22D Case
Controllers
E2 controllers version 2.84 or greater communicate
with the XR and XEV controllers. The XR and XEV con-
trol compressor regulation, defrost, light, and evaporator
fans in refrigeration systems on normal, low, or medium
temperatures, control a wide variety of stepper electronic
expansion valves and anti-sweat heaters (if present), and
measure and regulate the superheat of the refrigerant in the
system.
If the case controller is configured with a Real Time
Clock (RTC), it can be programmed with up to 6 daily
defrosts and an energy saving function. Without the RTC,
the E2 can coordinate defrost cycles and the energy-saving
function.
Several parameters of the Emerson controllers (such as
inputs, outputs, setpoints, and alarms) can be configured
directly in E2 and sent to the appropriate Emerson control-
ler, depending on the controller model.

iPro DAC
The iPro DAC is a packaged HVAC control board for
use either as a stand-alone controller or in zone control
applications using a Retail Solutions E2 BX building con-
trol system. The iPro DAC is capable of controlling heat
and cool stages, fans, humidification and dehumidification
devices and economizers using on-board I/O and control
algorithms, as well as monitor and interact with other
building control systems and peripherals (such as smoke
alarms and CO2 sensors).
6.3.5
Energy Meter
6.3.5.1
Overview
The Energy Meter provides a solution for measuring
energy data with a single device. Inputs include Control
Power, CT, and 3-phase voltage. The Energy Meter sup-
ports multiple output options, including solid state relay
contacts, Modbus (with or without data logging), and
pulse. The LCD screen on the faceplate allows instant out-
put viewing.
The meter is housed in a plastic enclosure suitable for
installation on T35 DIN rail according to EN50022. The
Energy Meter can be mounted with any orientation over
the entire ambient temperature range, either on a DIN rail
or in a panel. The meter is not sensitive to CT orientation
to reduce installation errors.
6.3.5.2
Supported System Types
The Energy Meter Series has a number of different
possible system wiring configurations. To configure the
meter, set the System Type via the User Interface or Mod-
bus register 130 (if so equipped). The System Type tells
the meter which of its current and voltage inputs are valid,
which are to be ignored, and if neutral is connected. Set-
ting the correct System Type prevents unwanted energy
accumulation on unused inputs, selects the formula to cal-
culate the Theoretical Maximum System Power, and deter-
mines which phase loss algorithm is to be used. The phase
loss algorithm is configured as a percent of the Line-to-
Line System Voltage (except when in System Type 10)
and also calculates the expected Line to Neutral voltages
for system types that have Neutral (12 & 40).
For more information about this application, see the
Energy Meter manual (P/N 026-1726).

E2 Ethernet Peer Communications
Communication between E2 controller version 2.10 or
greater may now be implemented through an Ethernet net-
work using TCP/IP protocol. To utilize peer connections
over Ethernet, the following tasks must be performed:
• Upgrade the E2 controller firmware to version 2.10
or greater.
• Install an industry-standard Ethernet switch(es) or
hub(s) in an area or areas nearby the E2 controllers.
• Install Ethernet straight-through cabling at the site
from each E2 to the switch or hub. Installation of
RJ-45 connectors may be necessary to achieve this
goal. The recommended cabling is CAT 5.
7.1
Ethernet IP Configura-
tions
If using an open network configuration (see Section
7.4.2, Open Network Layout), contact your IT Network
Administrator for all IP configuration information (IP
Address, Subnet Mask, Primary and Default Gateway set-
tings).
7.2
Hardware Specifica-
tions
Standard industry-accepted practices for wiring of Eth-
ernet networks are expected. E2 controllers use a star
topology, identical to PC deployment. This includes a
unique “point-to-point” run from a switch or hub to the
controller (see Table 7-1 for hub part numbers for order-
ing). This is done with Category5 (or better) cable. Maxi-
mum distance for a run of 10BaseT is 328 feet (100
meters) (11.5 dB loss max).
• The maximum number of controllers allowed on an
IP subnet is 20. All E2 controllers that must com-
municate with each other must be on the same sub-
net.
• Recommended Ethernet cabling is CAT 5 (straight-
through cable).
• 328 feet (100 meters) is the maximum distance
allowed between devices before a switch or hub
must be added.

7.3
Software Specifica-
tions
TCP/IP
E2 controller versions 2.10 and later communicate
between controllers using the TCP/IP protocol. TCP Port
7238 is the default for connections established between the
controllers. All peer communications occur over this port.
7.4
Ethernet Network
Layouts
The two types of network options for E2 controllers
using Ethernet communications are:
1.
“Closed Network” - E2 devices are not connected
to a store’s LAN. (The only devices on the net-
work are the E2 controllers themselves.) This
network type is used if there is no need to inte-
grate the network into the company’s intranet.
2.
“Open Network” - E2 devices are connected to
the store’s LAN. (Devices on the network include
E2s and other Ethernet-TCP/IP devices.) This
network type is used if the network will be con-
nected to the store’s LAN.
The E2 peer Ethernet network facilitates communica-
tions between E2 controllers. These include at least the
following:
•
Routing of messages between external entities
such as UltraSite, InSite, Site Manager, and
non-gateway E2 controllers.
•
Distribution of global data and other network
variables such as system time, controller iden-
tification, etc.
•
Communication between E2 controller applica-
tions such as Remote Login and Remote File
Services.
7.4.1
Closed Network Layout
NOTE: Contact your IT Network Administra-
tor for setup parameters for both closed and
open networks.
NOTE: The gateway E2 is the E2 controller at
a remote site to which UltraSite directly con-
nects. It is through this E2 that UltraSite com-
municates with the other controllers (defined as the
“non-gateway” E2s and external entities such as
UltraSite, InSite, Site Manager etc.).

DHCP Enabled to Yes and it will retrieve the informa-
tion from the server and populate those fields. E2 con-
trollers must all have the same Ethernet Subnet in

Echelon Network and Hardware Setup
8.1
Overview
Echelon is an optional, two-conductor network that interconnects E2s and other associated devices, such as CC-100
case controllers, TD3 temperature displays, and ESR8 evaporator stepper regulator boards. All Echelon devices are wired
together using the daisy-chain method of network structuring. If an Echelon network-enabled E2 is required, it must be
specifically ordered from Retail Solutions as an Echelon-enabled E2, and equipped with an Echelon plug-in card. See
Section 4.3.1, Echelon Card Plug-In (P/N 537-4860) with mounting screw (P/N 101-4201).
8.2
Wiring Type
Retail Solutions specifies one type of cable for Echelon Network wiring. This cable type’s properties are listed in
Table 8-1.
8.3
Echelon Network
Structuring (Daisy-Chains)
Echelon devices are networked together into configu-
rations called segments. A segment is a group of up to 64
Echelon devices that are connected together on an unbro-
ken series of wires.
The recommended way of constructing an Echelon
Network is called daisy-chaining. In the daisy-chain net-
work configuration, devices are arranged by subnets,
which consist of one E2 and all Echelon devices associ-
ated with the E2.
First, all devices in a subnet are connected in an unbro-
ken chain without branches or “star configurations” (see
Figure 8-1). Then, if more than one E2 is present on-site,
all chains are connected so that the entire network forms a
large unbroken chain, called a daisy chain
(see Figure 8-2). This allows for all devices in the Eche-
lon Network to be hard wired together for trouble free
communication.

8.3.1
Maximum Number of Eche-
lon Devices
A daisy-chained segment may contain no more than 63
total Echelon devices (also called "nodes"). If there are 64
or more Echelon devices at your site, an Echelon-compati-
ble router (P/N 572-4200) will be required. A router
placed on the Echelon Network allows you to add another
63-node daisy-chain network. For larger installations,
multiple routers can be used to extend the network indefi-
nitely.
More information about routers and how they are used
in a daisy-chain Echelon Network can be found in the
Router and Repeater Installation Guide (P/N 026-1605).
8.4
Device Termination
In a daisy-chain configuration, both ends of the net-
work segment must be terminated. Terminate the E2 by
setting jumper JP7 to the UP position, as shown in Figure
8-3. Other devices on the Echelon Network are terminated
either by jumpers on the control board or by connecting a
102-ohm “terminator block” at the end of the network seg-
ment (see Section 8.4.1, Using a Termination Block (P/N
535-2715) to Terminate a Daisy Chain). Refer to the
installation guide references at the end of this section for
specific device termination instructions.
All other E2s and Echelon devices that aren’t at the
end of a daisy-chained network segment must be untermi-
nated.
If a router or repeater is being used in a network, termi-
nation becomes more complicated, because routers and
repeaters join multiple daisy-chain segments together.
Refer to the Router and Repeater Installation Guide (P/N
026-1605), for specific termination instructions.

8.4.1
Using a Termination Block
(P/N 535-2715) to Terminate a Daisy
Chain
Some Echelon Network devices, notably TD3s, have
no on-board means of terminating. For some other
devices, it is inconvenient to use the jumpers supplied for
termination (the CC-100/CS-100 case controllers, for
example, require the enclosure to be removed to set the
jumper).
To remedy these problems, Retail Solutions supplies
termination blocks that can be wired to the end of an Eche-
lon cable segment. This termination block uses the same
three-pin connector as all other Echelon devices. Wire the
two signal wires to the outside terminals, and connect the
shield to the middle terminal (see Figure 8-4).
8.5
Wire Restrictions
Maximum Total Segment Length
The total amount of wire used to connect all E2s and
associated controllers in a single segment (not including
devices on the other side of routers) cannot be longer than
4592 feet (1400 meters). If the total length of cable used is
longer than 4592 feet, a repeater or router will be required.
Routers act as communication gateways that reduce
the amount of network traffic. They are used when net-
works exceed their 63-node limit. Adding a router allows
you to add another daisy-chain segment of 4592 feet with
a maximum of 63 more nodes.
Repeaters boost signal strength and are only used in
instances where a segment of 63 nodes or less uses more
than 4592 feet of Echelon cable.
Refer to the Router and Repeater Installation Guide
(P/N 026-1605), for information about router and repeater
placement.
8.6
Installing Echelon
Devices
The E2 control system has several types of peripheral
control boards that communicate using the Echelon Net-
work: the 16AIe analog input board, the 8ROe relay out-
put board, the CC-100/CS-100 series of case control and
case circuit control boards, and the ESR8 board.
8.6.1
Powering Echelon Devices
All Echelon devices require 24VAC Class 2 power.
Retail Solutions specs several sizes of transformers to
accommodate the full range of Retail Solutions’ Echelon-
compatible products. Table 8-3 lists each transformer’s
part number and rating.
To select a power transformer for one or more Echelon
devices:
1.
Determine what the total VA is for the boards
and controllers that will be powered by the
transformer (see Table 8-4).
Example: Two TD3 boards (4 VA each), and
one E2 (40 VA) board are to be powered by
one transformer. The total VA is:
NOTE: The recommended termination proce-
dure for all Echelon devices is the termination
block.
Figure 8-4 - Placement and Wiring of the Termination Block
CAUTION: Do not power Echelon devices
with the same 56VA and 80VA transformers
used to power the I/O Network. Echelon
devices require Class 2 power to operate, which is not
supplied by the I/O board transformers.

LED should be off. If the Ser-
vice Pin is pressed, this LED
will come on.
If the LED is blinking, the node
does not have its Subnet/
Node address set. (E2 should
set this during the first power -
up sequence where the user
will be asked in which Subnet
to put the controller (E2 will al-
ways be Node = 1 on the net-
work).
If the LED is blinking, then try
resetting the E2. If this does
not correct the problem, re-
place the Echelon board.
ON (no blinking): Replace the
Echelon board. The Neuron
processor has lost its applica-
tion program.

The 16AI, 8IO, and
MultiFlex Inputs
9.1.1
Connecting Sensors to Input
Boards
There are five network boards that may accept inputs:
on the I/O Network, the MultiFlex, 16AI, ARTC, and the
8IO Combination Input/Output Board. Wiring an input to
these boards requires three steps:
1.
Connect the sensor’s signal wires to the two ter-
minals of an input point.
2.
Set the input type dip switch that corresponds to
the point being connected.
3.
If necessary, connect the power lead of the sensor
to one of the 5V or 12V power terminals.
9.1.1.1
Wiring
MultiFlex Boards
An input point connector on a MultiFlex, 16AI, and
16AIe board consists of two terminals, as shown in Figure
9-1. One of these terminals, labeled “SIG”, reads the sig-
nal from the sensor, while the other, labeled “0v” is where
sensor’s ground and/or cable shield wire is connected.
16AI Boards
On a 16AI, terminals are numbered 1-32, starting with
the first terminal of point 1 and ending with the last termi-
nal of point 16. The even-numbered terminals of a 16AI
are always where the signal voltages are connected. The
sensor grounds and cable shields are connected to the odd-
numbered terminals.
8IO and ARTC Boards
On an 8IO board, the two terminals of every point are
labeled “-” or “+”. The ground wire is always connected to
the “-” terminal, and the signal wire is connected to the
“+” terminal.
On the ARTC board, the input and output points are
predefined and are labeled accordingly.
9.1.1.2
Sensor Wiring Types
Specific wiring types are required for each type of sen-
sor used with E2.
All Analog Temperature Sensors and Air Flow Sensors
Temperature and air flow sensors are to be wired with
shielded, 2 conductor, at least 22 GA wire (Belden # 8761
or equivalent).
All Pressure Transducers, Humidity Sensors, and
Refrigeration Transducers
Pressure and refrigeration transducers and humidity
sensors are to be wired with shielded, 3 conductor, at least
22 GA wire (Belden #8771 or equivalent).
Dewpoint and Light Level Sensors
These sensors are to be wired with shielded, 4 conduc-
tor at least 22 GA wire (Belden # 8729 or equivalent).
9.1.1.3
Input Type Dip Switches
An input type dip switch must be set for each input
point. Input type dip switches are located in the switch
banks labeled S1 and S2 on the MultiFlex, 16AI, and
switch bank S4 on the 8IO.
The input type dip switch tells the input board whether
or not the sensor connected to the point requires a DC sup-
ply voltage in order to operate. If the sensor requires DC
voltage, the dip switch should be set to the DOWN posi-
tion. If the sensor does not require power, or if it uses AC
power, the dip switch should be set to the UP position. Dip
switches for unused points should be set to the UP posi-
tion.
The dip switch positions for each specific sensor type
is shown in Figure 9-2.

9.1.2
Power Connection
If power is needed to operate the sensor, several termi-
nals exist on the 16AI, Multiflex boards, 8IO, that may be
used to supply DC power (see Figure 9-3 for 16AI and
MultiFlex power connections).
Input boards may supply 12VDC or 5VDC. To connect
to one of the DC power sources, simply connect the sen-
sor’s power wire to one of the terminals.
The maximum current that may be drawn from the
+12VDC terminal is 100 milliamps. The maximum cur-
rent that can be drawn from all three +5VDC terminals
COMBINED is 50 milliamps.
Specific wiring instructions for each type of sensor are
given in Table 9-1 on page 9-3.

Input Setup in E2
At this point in the setup process, you should have all
sensors, transducers, and other input devices wired to
points on MultiFlexes, 16AIs, and all output devices con-
nected to 8ROs, 8DOs, or 4AOs outputs. Once the physi-
cal wiring is complete, you will need to tell E2 the types of
sensors or devices that are connected to each I/O point.
This is achieved in the Input and Output Definitions
screens.

analog screen is described in Section 9.1.3.3, while the
digital screen is described in Section 9.1.3.4.
9.1.3.2
Using the Input Definitions/Status
Screen
In order for the E2 to properly read an input value from
a sensor or transducer hooked to an I/O board, you must
first tell the E2 what kinds of devices are hooked into each
input board point. This is achieved by using the Input Def-
initions/Status screen. (SETUP), (DEL/MOD),
(OFFSET), (LOOK UP), and (CAN-
CEL) are the function keys along the bottom of the screen
available for the Input Definitions/Status screen.
Each record in this screen contains the following infor-
mation about a point:
1. Board Type (read-only)
The Board Type column will read 16AI regardless of
whether the input board is a 16AI, MultiFlex 16, 8IO, or
MultiFlex Combination I/O board.
2. Brd (read-only)
The point’s board number will appear in its point
record under the Brd column. All input boards on a con-
troller will be displayed.
3. Pt (read-only)
The point number of each point appears in its record
under the Pt column.
4. Type (read-only)
The Type field shows the output’s data type. Possible
Types are: A (Analog) or D (Digital). If the point has not
been identified, a “-” will appear in the field instead.
5. Application
Select which application you wish to set up inputs to.
Pressing (LOOK UP) when on a defined point will
open the Application Selection menu--a list of application
types currently existing in the box. (CANCEL) will
cancel this menu.
6. Association
If a point has already been defined and is currently
being used by an application, the name of the input to
which the point is connected will be displayed in the Asso-
ciation field.
Association is the application’s user-defined property
that is associated with the point. Multiple applications
attached to single input will all be displayed in the Associ-
ation field. Pressing (LOOK UP) on a set applica-
tion will bring up a list of property selections.
(CANCEL) will cancel this menu.
7. Value (read-only)
Value shows the sensor value in the units you select for
the input type.
9.1.3.3
Setting Up Analog Inputs
Open the Analog Input screen by selecting an Analog
(A) input from the Input Status screen Figure 9-4 and
pressing (SETUP).
The Analog Input screen Figure 9-4 is where sensor
types, units, and default values are specified for analog
input points.
Figure 9-5 - Data Type Pop-Up Menu
NOTE: When setting up 88s and 8AOs, re-
member that there are only eight usable input
points, even though the 16AI that represents
the 88s and 8AOs in the summary screen has sixteen
points. Only inputs one through eight may be defined;
all other points will be ignored.
NOTE: When changes are made to the Appli-
cation or Association fields, data will not be
saved until attempting to arrow off of that par-
ticular board and point or attempting to leave the
screen. If Type has changed, data will be saved and then
the controller will take you to the Setup In screen.

Point Name The Point Name is simply a name for
the point that may be used as a reference.
Assigning a descriptive name to a point makes setting
up inputs for applications much easier. For example,
if you have an inside temperature sensor located in
Zone 1 of your building, you may name it “ZONE 1
TEMP”. Then, when programming your HVAC
applications, you may easily define Zone 1’s temper-
ature sensor input by tying it to ZONE 1 TEMP. This
keeps you from having to keep track of which sen-
sors are tied to which point numbers.
You are required to enter a point name in the Point
Name field. The default name is “:{BOARD
NAME}:{BOARD NUMBER}:{POINT NUM-
BER}.”
Board/Point # The Board/Point number will auto-
matically be defined if you are configuring the point from

field. This value is set automatically to an appropri-
ate default unit whenever the Sensor Type is

or to scroll through the options or select the
unit from the (LOOK-UP).
Units Per Pulse The Units Per Pulse field appears
only when “Pulse Accum” is entered in the Sensor
Type field.
The E2 is capable of generating an analog KW value
by counting the number of pulses from the pulse
accumulation outputs of a KW transducer. Each
pulse from the transducer signifies that a fixed num-
ber of KW has been used.
The number of KWs per pulse varies depending upon
the type of transducer being used. Consult the trans-
ducer’s documentation for the exact number of KWs
per pulse and enter it in this field.
Default on Open The value placed here will deter-
mine the value the unit reports if there is an “open”
condition detected in the sensor input connection. An
“open” condition could be the result of a broken wire
to the sensor or a sensor failure.
Default on Short The numeric entry in this param-
eter is the default value the analog input would report
if a “short” is detected on the sensor input connec-
tion. A “short” could be the result of a damaged wire
or a sensor failure.
Default Other The value placed in Default Other is
the value reported if the input is not updated after a
certain amount of time. If there is a failure that will
not allow the input board to report the value of the
sensor, the value placed in this parameter will be
reported.
Sensor Offset If a sensor needs a numeric value
added or subtracted to the calculated value, enter the
number here. The value can be positive or negative.
Sensors sometimes have to have offsets. The offset
that you enter in this field is in the units you selected
in the Eng Units field, NOT in millivolts.
Output This field displays the link between the input
and the application(s) they feed into. You do not need
to enter anything in this field. You will be able to link
applications to this point during the application setup
process.
9.1.3.4
Setting Up Digital Inputs
Open the Digital Input screen by selecting a Digital
(D) input from the Input Status screen Figure 9-4 and
pressing (SETUP).
Set up digital inputs in order to assign digital input
points, point names, engineering units, and other impor-
tant parameters.
Point Name The Point Name is simply a name for
the point that may be used as a reference.
Assigning a descriptive name to a point makes set-
ting up inputs for applications much easier. For
example, if you are setting up a push-button switch
to reset compressor 1 after an oil failure shut down,
you may choose to name it “OIL RESET 1”. Then,
when programming your Pressure Control applica-
tion, you may easily define compressor 1’s reset
input by tying it to OIL RESET 1. This keeps you
from having to keep track of which contacts are tied
to which point numbers.
You are required to enter a point name in the Point
Name field. The default name is “:{BOARD
NAME}:{BOARD NUMBER}:{POINT NUM-
BER}.”
Board/Point Number The Board/Point Number
will automatically be defined if you are configuring
the point from the Input Summary Screen.
Select Eng. Units The Select Eng. Units field is
where you may select how the ON and OFF states of
this point are displayed and represented in E2’s setup
fields and status screens. By default, digital inputs
have ON-OFF engineering units, meaning when the
input is ON or OFF, the input will be represented as
“ON” or “OFF” in the system software.
Since the controller looks at only the actual state of
the point when it uses the input for control purposes,
it is not necessary to define engineering units for dig-
ital inputs. However, selecting units that are appro-
priate to the input’s function (such as BYP or
Figure 9-7 - Digital Input Screen
9-10 • E2 RX/BX/CX I&O Manual
026-1610 Rev 12 25-APR-2011
NO_BYP for inputs that initiate bypasses) will make
the input’s state easier to read and understand.
To choose an engineering unit, press (LOOK
UP) to select.
Push Button Mode? Digital inputs may be set up
as “push button” inputs by changing this field to
“YES”.
Push Button Mode is a method of interpreting a digi-
tal state that is used strictly for push buttons. When
used, a button press lasting longer than one second
will change the state of the input. In other words, if
the input is OFF, a button press will change it to ON,
and another button press will change it back to OFF,
etc.
Output This field displays the link between the input
and its application(s). You do not need to enter any-
thing in this field. You will be able to link applica-
tions to this point during the application setup
process.
9.2
The 8RO, 8ROe, 8IO,
and MultiFlex Outputs
The 8RO, 8ROe, 8IO, and MultiFlex have relay out-
puts that close when called to be ON and open when called
to be OFF. When an output point is closed (ON), the LED
directly above the output terminal glows red. These boards
use Form C contacts that determine if the connection will
be open or closed during power failure. A fail-safe dip
switch is used to determine connection status during net-
work failure.
9.2.1
Wiring Form C Contacts
Figure 9-8 shows how to wire the three-terminal Form
C contact.
One wire of the two-wire connection should always be
connected to the middle terminal. The second wire must
be connected to the N.C. terminal (if you want the relay to
be closed (ON) during power failure) or the N.O. terminal
(if you want the relay to be (OFF) during power failure).
9.2.2
MultiFlex Relay Outputs
The MultiFlex boards that have relay outputs (all mod-
els except the MultiFlex 16) each have eight relays that
energize and de-energize to control output loads.
When setting up an output on one of these relays, you
must make two important decisions:
1.
Do you want an ON command from your control-
ler to mean “energize the relay” or “de-energize
the relay,” and
2.
When the relay is de-energized, as is the case
when the 8RO or 8IO goes off-line or loses
power, do you want the contacts to be OPEN or
CLOSED?
Decision #1 is made by setting the fail-safe switch.
This is a bank of eight switches labeled S2 on the 8RO,
8ROe, and 8RO-FC, S3 on the 8IO, and S1 on the Multi-
Flex plug-in output board. Each switch corresponds to an
output on the board (switch #1 = output #1, etc.).
Decision #2 is made either by setting a fail-safe
jumper (for old-style 8ROs) or by wiring the load to
