 System Overview
The Phoenix Broadband Technologies (PBT) Remote Output Module (ROM) provides a method for increasing the number of controlled outputs on PBT controllers. A primary application of the ROM is to increase the number of outputs on the SC4 and SCMini-XC controllers. The screens used in this document are from the SC4 and may vary slightly in other products.
The ROM has 4 form-C relay outputs that can be controlled remotely. The ROM-2 uses standard relays, the ROM-1 uses latching relays. Latching relays have an advantage in some applications because there is no state change if the power is lost. There is also a temperature measurement and an optional humidity measurement. The ROM is powered by the Site Controller or other PBT host device.
Up to 4 ROMs can be daisy chained together. When used with the SC4 Site Controller up to 4 ROMs can be connected to each of the 2 P-Bus ports for a total of 8 ROMs or 32 outputs (the SCMini-XC has a single P-Bus port). The ROM is completely configurable using only a Web Browser.
The ROM can be combined in a daisy chain with other PBT P-Bus devices including the Remote Input Module (RIM) and the Float Current Sensor.

 Mounting the ROM
The ROM is shipped with a piece of self-adhesive, industrial Velcro that can be used to mount the ROM. We recommend that you apply the Velcro loop side to the ROM and the Velcro hook side to the mounting surface. Additional Velcro squares are available from PBT if you need to relocate the ROM. Consult the factory for other available mounting options.

 Setting the ROM Address
Each ROM connected in a daisy chain, must have a unique address. The address is set using the jumper on the ROM front panel. Each ROM is shipped with the address set to one.
Remove the jumper by pulling it straight out. Replace the jumper in one of the 4 positions shown on the ROM label to set the address. The jumper should always connect 2 pins on the address header. The ROM will not operate properly if an address jumper is not installed.
When the ROM power is connected the LED will flash red a number of times indicating the address setting. For example; if the address is set to 4 the LED will flash red 4 times and then go green.
Verify the address setting by watching the LED when the ROM is connected to the host device in the following section.

 Connecting the ROM to the Site Controller
The ROM is connected to the Site Controller or other host device using a standard Ethernet cable. A 2-foot cable is provided with the ROM but any standard CAT-5 cable can be used. PBT recommends that the total cable length connected to any P-Bus port should not exceed 200 feet.
Use caution when making your own cables as incorrectly wired cables can damage the ROM, Site Controller or other Host device. Note that some CAT-5 cable testers only test the 4 wires used by Ethernet. The ROM uses all 8 wires. Make sure that your cable tester tests all 8 wires for opens and shorts.
We recommend connecting the ROM to the host device with the CAT-5 cable provided and verifying proper operation before attempting to make your own cable.
in this illustration the ROM is connected to the SC4 Site Controller.
Connect the P-Bus A or B port on the Site Controller to either "P-Bus" port on the ROM. Connect the other "P-Bus" port on the ROM to the next PBT Remote Module. Up to 4 ROMs with different address settings may be connected in a daisy chain with RIMs or other compatible PBT devices. Up to 4 ROMs can be connected to each P-Bus port on the Site Controller.
The ROMs may be connected with the power on or off. When the power is applied, verify the address setting as described in the previous section. The host device should begin polling the ROM shortly after the power is applied. The ROM LED which is normally green will flash off momentarily when the ROM responds to the Host device.

 Connecting the ROM Outputs
The ROM has 4 latched Form ­ C relay outputs. The relay contacts are rated for 1 amp at 30 VDC. The relays are latching and do not change state when the power is cycled.
Caution: The ROM is intended for use with voltages below 48 VDC. When controlling higher voltage or high current loads a secondary control device is required. Refer to the specifications section of this document for the relay contact ratings. Connecting the ROM outputs to higher voltages or currents can damage the relays and will void the warranty.
Connect the ROM outputs to the points to be controlled. There is a separate barrier block for each output. These barrier blocks can be unplugged from the ROM. The ROM barrier block will accommodate 20-26 AWG wire. Strip 0.25 inch of insulation from the wire. Solid wire works
best, but if you use stranded wire be sure to twist the strands tightly together. Push the wire into the desired barrier block connection as shown. There is a common, normally open and normally closed connection for each output.
Contact Phoenix Broadband Technologies if you are unsure of how to connect your device to the ROM.
To remove a wire from the barrier block, press the orange release button with a small screw driver and pull the wire free.
Relay Connections Pin 1 (left) Normally Closed Pin 2 (center) Common Pin 3 (right) Normally Open
The LED for each Output will light when the Common Pin is connected to the Normally Open Pin. The LED will be off when the Common Pin is connected to the Normally Closed Pin. This is a latching relay, the relay state will not change when the power is removed form the ROM.
