3.2.5 RP-8 Control Connections
Control connections to the RP-8 are made through three-conductor screw terminal connectors. The screw terminal
connectors can be removed for easier installation. There are no locks or catches, grasp the connector firmly and pull
it away from the panel. In addition, the connector can be plugged onto the terminal posts in several directions:
horizontal or vertical and left or right facing. You may choose the position that is most convenient.

The control relays are SPDT with both normally open and normally closed contacts available. Observe proper
orientation between the NO, NC and common terminals when making these connections. Detailed information on
control outputs is given later in this section.
3.2.6 RP-8 Channel Identification
The front of the RP-8 includes a place to record pertinent data regarding each channel. Remember, the channels
read in the correct order from the back of the panel when wiring. Channels read right to left as viewed from the front
of the panel—the lowest channel number is on the far right.

It is often desirable to write the channel number in the space indicated as well as any other information pertinent to
that channel. A grease pencil works well for this task. A permanent marker can be used but it will be difficult to
remove the ink without damaging the painted panel if it becomes necessary to do so.
