Universal IN +15 V Provides 15 VDC power for active devices connected to
the Universal IN terminal blocks (3-wire connection).
35 mA total current
0.6 mm (22 AWG) stranded, 3-wire
twisted, non-shielded cable for
runs of <30 m (90 ft)
Same as IN. See IN n cable type.
IN n Analog Input, Voltage Mode
Accepts a 0-10 VDC input signal.
10 VDC Maximum Input Voltage
Internal 75k ohm Pulldown
0.6 mm (22 AWG) stranded, 2-wire
twisted, non-shielded cable for
runs of <30 m (90 ft)
(See Row A in
Table 2.)
Analog Input, Current Mode
Accepts a 4-20 mA input signal.
Note: For current sensing applications, the FEU16x0
does not provide a jumper to close the current loop when
the controller is powered off. This option is available on
FEC26x0 controllers only.
0.6 mm (22 AWG) stranded, 2-wire
twisted, non-shielded cable
(See Row B in
Table 2.)
Analog Input, Resistive Mode
Accepts 0-600k ohm input signal.
Internal 12 V, 15k ohm Pullup
RTD (1k Nickel [Johnson Controls], 1k Platinum, A99B
Silicon Temperature Sensor)
Negative Temperature Coefficient (NTC) Sensor
(10k Type L, 2.252k Type 2)
0.6 mm (22 AWG) stranded, 2-wire
twisted, non-shielded cable for
runs of <30 m (90 ft)
(See Row A in
Table 2.)
Binary Input, Dry Contact Maintained Mode
1 second minimum pulse width (0.5 Hz at 50% duty cycle)
Internal 12 V, 15k ohm Pullup
0.6 mm (22 AWG) stranded, 2-wire
twisted, non-shielded cable for
runs of <30 m (90 ft)
(See Row A in
Table 2.)
ICOM n The signal common for all Universal IN terminals;
isolated from all other terminal commons
0.6 mm (22 AWG) stranded, 2-wire
twisted, non-shielded cable for
runs of <30 m (90 ft)
Same as IN. See IN n cable type.
Note: Use 3-wire cable for active
devices that connect to the +15 V
terminal also.
Binary IN IN n Binary Input, Dry Contact Maintained Mode
0.01 second min. pulse width (50 Hz at 50% duty cycle)
Internal 8 V, 3.3k ohm Pullup
0.6 mm (22 AWG) stranded, 2-wire
twisted, non-shielded cable for
runs of <30 m (90 ft)
(See Row A in
Table 2.)
Binary Input, Pulse Counter Mode
0.01 second min. pulse width (50 Hz at 50% duty cycle)
Internal 8 V, 3.3k ohm Pullup
ICOM n The signal common for Binary IN terminals; isolated from
all other terminal commons, excluding Configurable
Output (CO) terminal commons that are configured as
Analog Outputs (AOs).
