A certified AC power (mains) disconnect or circuit breaker should be mounted
near the controller and installed following applicable local and national codes. If
a switch is used instead of a circuit breaker, a properly rated CERTIFIED fuse or
current limiter is required to be installed as per local or national codes. Markings
for positions of the switch or breaker should state (I) for on and (O) for off.
Clean using only a damp cloth with no solvents.
Equipment not used as prescribed within this manual may impair overall safety.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The R. C. Systems Co. Inc. ViewSmart 200 Two channel Controller is designed to
display, and control alarm event switching for two sensor points. Sensor signals may be
input as 4-20mA from transmitters, or, several signal conditioning options (see section
3.1) are available to accept sensors directly. The ViewSmart 200 is equipped with three
alarms per channel with features such as
ON
/
OFF
delays, latching relays and alarm
Acknowledge.
A dedicated horn driver circuit for a local audible annunciator is also
standard. Two standard 5-amp alarm relays are configurable via the “alarm voting” menu
to make relays trip based upon various alarm combinations. Real-Time Clock and
Calendar are also standard. Options such as 4-20mA outputs, discrete relays for each
alarm and audible annunciators are easily added. RS-485 (Modbus RTU) or Ethernet
(Modbus TCP) ports are also available for sending data to PC’s, PLC’s, DCS’s, or other
R. C. Systems controllers.
A 128 x 64 pixel graphic LCD readout displays monitored data as bar graphs, 30-minute
trends and engineering units. System configuration is via user friendly menus and all
configuration data is retained in non-volatile memory during power interruptions. The
ViewSmart 200 front panel is shown below in Figure 1.0 displaying the bar graph data
screen. The five button symbols below the display are magnetically activated using the
supplied magnetic wand without opening the enclosure. Opening the enclosure door
provides access to the “touch” keypad as shown in Figure 1.1.
