If the heating/cooling function is used, ALM1 will be used for the cooling control output and so the alarm output relay will not be available.

Provides two event inputs. Allows selecting up to 4 different pre-configured set points, controller Run/Stop or Auto/Manual mode, from 2 external inputs.
Heater burnout is not available for 0...20 or 4…20 mA analog output style 900-TC16 controllers such as the 900-TC16AC.
To obtain 57.6 k baud rate, Series B communication units must be used with any 900-TC8 controller catalog number from the Product Selection table on the
previous page.
♠
Series B option units must be used with Series B 900-TC16 controllers. Series A option units cannot be used with Series B controllers and vice versa.
§
Series B provides 57.6 K baud rate.
