Relative Humidity Sensors (Space or Duct
Mounted)
The accessory space humidity sensor or duct humidity
sensor is used to measure the relative humidity of the air
within the space or return air duct. The RH reading is used
to control the Humidi-Mizert option of the rooftop unit.
For wiring distances up to 500 ft (152m), use a
3-conductor, 18 or 20 AWG shielded cable. The shield
must be removed from the sensor end of the cable and
grounded at the unit end. The current loop power for the
sensor is provided by the RTU-OPEN controller as 24vdc.
Refer to the instructions supplied with the RH sensor for
electrical requirements and terminal locations.
RTU-OPEN configurations must be changed after adding
a RH sensor. See below and Fig. 8 and 9 for typical RH
sensor wiring.
S J4--1 or J4--4 = 24vdc loop power
S J4--2 or J4--5 = 4--20mA signal input
NOTE: The factory default for dehumidification control
is a normally open humidistat.
Installing Discrete Inputs
Compressor Safety
The compressor safety input provides the RTU-OPEN
with feedback to when the compressor is not running and
should be. This feedback is usually provided by a
Compressor Lock-Out (CLO) device. Compressor safety
is a dedicated input on the configurable input 3 and tells
the RTU-OPEN when the compressor is locked out. The
normal condition for compressor safety is good operation.
A normally open compressor safety is the factory default
for all units. Follow specific accessory instructions if
installing a CLO device. The CLO should wire into the
unit’s Low Voltage terminal Board (LVTB).
NOTE: Input 3 can also be wired into J--5.

Humidistat
The accessory humidistat provides the RTU-OPEN insight
to the relative humidity in the space. The humidistat
reads the RH level in the space and compares it to its
setpoint to operate a dry contact. The humidistat is a
dedicated input on the configurable input 9 and tells the
RTU-OPEN when the RH level is HIGH or LOW. The
normal condition for humidity is LOW. A normally open
humidistat is the factory default control for the
Humidi-MiZert option. To wire in the field:
S J5--8 = 24 VAC source for dry contact
S J5--7 = Signal input
Single Enthalpy (Outdoor Enthalpy)
The outdoor enthalpy switch/receiver (33CSENTHSW)
senses temperature and humidity of the air surrounding
the device and calculates the enthalpy when used without
an enthalpy sensor. The relay is energized when enthalpy
is high (above 28 BTU/lb OR dry bulb temperature is
above 75_F) and de-energized when enthalpy is low
(below 27 BTU/lb AND dry bulb temperature is below
74.5_F). The enthalpy input is dedicated to input 8 and
tells the RTU-OPEN when the outside air enthalpy is
HIGH or LOW. The normal condition for the enthalpy
input is HIGH. Enthalpy is configured on input 8 in the
factory when it is added as an option.
NOTE:
The enthalpy calculation is done using an
average altitude of 1000 ft above sea level.
For field installation, refer to the enthalpy accessory
instructions. For wiring see below and Fig. 10. The
RTU-OPEN board provides 24vac on one of the two loose
grey wires in the return air section of the rooftop near the
12-pin economizer plug. To determine the correct grey,
measure the voltage on the wires with power applied to
the unit. If 24-vac is sensed, then that is the grey wire that
is connected to the RTU-OPEN board at J2-7. The other
is the signal for input 8, connect it to the LOW Enthalpy
terminal on the enthalpy switch/receiver. Tie into the
12-pin economizer plug on pin 4 or the black wire
connected to the actuator for the enthalpy’s GND
connection. Power can also be provided direct from the
unit transformer and J5 terminal on the RTU-OPEN.
S J2--7 or J5--2 = 24 VAC for enthalpy switch power
S J2--6 or J5--1 = input signal
Differential Enthalpy
Differential enthalpy control requires both an enthalpy
switch/receiver (33CSENTHSW) and an enthalpy sensor
(33CSENTSEN). The enthalpy sensor must be installed
in the field as the factory can only provide single
enthalpy. The enthalpy sensor must be mounted in the
return airstream and calculates the enthalpy of the indoor
air. The relay is energized when the enthalpy detected by
the return air enthalpy sensor is less than the enthalpy at
the enthalpy switch/receiver. The relay is de-energized
when the enthalpy detected by the return air enthalpy
sensor is greater than the enthalpy at the enthalpy
switch/receiver (differential enthalpy control).
