BAC-12xxxx/13xxxx Series
FlexStat™

Description and Application

The award-winning FlexStat is a controller and sensor in a single, attractive package that creates a flexible solution to stand-alone control challenges or BACnet network challenges. Temperature sensing is standard with optional humidity, motion, and CO2 sensing. Flexible input and output configurations and built-in or custom programming ensure that a variety of application needs can be met. Such applications include single- and multi-stage packaged, unitary, and split systems (including high SEER/EER variable speed packaged equipment), as well as factory-packaged and field-applied economizers, water- source and air-to-air heat pumps, fan coil units, central station air handling units, and similar applications.
In addition, an on-board library of programs permits a single model to be rapidly configured for a wide range of HVAC control applications. Thus, a single “one size fits all” FlexStat model can replace multiple competitor models.
A single BAC-120163CW, for example, can be quickly configured for any of these application options:
◆ Air handling unit, with proportional heating and cooling valves, and with optional economizer, dehumidification, and/or fan status
◆ Fan coil unit, 2-pipe or 4-pipe, proportional or 2-position valves, with optional dehumidification (w/ 4-pipe option) and/or fan status
◆ Heat pump unit, with up to two compressor stages, and with optional auxiliary heat, emergency heat, dehumidification, and/or fan status
◆ Roof top unit, with up to two H/C stages, and with optional economizer, dehumidification, and/or fan status
FlexStats also provide the capability to customize the standard library of sequences using a KMC programming tool (KMC Connect, KMC Converge, or TotalControl). This enables a local authorized KMC installing contractor to adapt the standard library to the unique site needs and application-specific requirements of a particular project.
BACnet over MS/TP communication is standard. “E” versions, with an RJ-45 jack, add BACnet over Ethernet, BACnet over IP, and BACnet over IP as Foreign Device (for communication across the Internet).

The BAC-13xxxx series uses Automatic Background Calibration Logic, or ABC Logic, a patented selfcalibration technique designed to be used in applications where concentrations will drop to outside ambient conditions (approximately 400 ppm) at least three times in a 14 day period, typically during unoccupied periods. With ABC Logic enabled, the sensor will typically reach its operational accuracy after 25 hours of continuous operation if it was exposed to ambient reference levels of air at 400 ±10 ppm  CO2. The sensor will maintain accuracy specifications with  ABC Logic enabled, given that it is at least four times in 21 days exposed to the reference value and this reference value is the lowest concentration to which the sensor is exposed. ABC Logic requires continuous operation of the sensor for periods of at least 24 hours.
NOTE: The BAC-13xxxx series, with ABC Logic, has been certified to comply with CA Title 24, Section 121(c), as well as sub-paragraph 4.F that specifies accuracy will be maintained within tolerance for a minimum of 5 years without recalibration and that a detected sensor failure will cause the controller to take appropriate corrective action.
NOTE: See also the Demand Control Ventilation (DCV) section on the next page.

Demand Control Ventilation (DCV)

When using applications with a modulating economizer option, the three types of Demand Control Ventilation (DCV) configurations available are:
◆ Basic—Provides simple DCV, modulating the outside air damper in direct response to the current CO2 level with respect to its setpoint. Basic DCV is much more energy
efficient than no DCV at all, while maintaining adequate IAQ (Indoor Air Quality). It is the easiest DCV method to configure. However, where VOCs, radon, or other pollutants become excessive during unoccupied times (with no ventilation), the FlexStat’s Standard or Advanced DCV configuration is recommended.
◆ Standard—When the BAC-13xxxx settings are properly configured, this complies with CA Title 24, Section 121(c). This would also apply to a properly configured BAC-12xxxx with a remote SAE-10xx CO2 sensor. Stan dard DCV, under most conditions, is somewhat less energy efficient than Basic, but it enhances IAQ.◆ Advanced—When the settings are properly configured, this configuration complies with CA Title 24, Section 121(c) and ASHRAE Standard 62.1-2007 and follows guidelines by Portland Energy  Conservation,Inc. (PECI).
Although Advanced DCV is the most complex to configure, it is more energy efficient than Standard while still optimizing IAQ.
Although BAC-12xxxx FlexStats do not have a builtin CO2 sensor, they still have DCV control sequences available. When DCV is enabled in these models, IN9 is assumed to be connected to an external KMC SAE-10xx CO2 sensor. BAC-13xxxx FlexStats also have the external sensor option, and if used, the highest of the two readings (internal vs. external) will be used to control DCV sequences. The CO2 ppm display (when enabled) also shows the highest of the two levels.
NOTE: The three DCV Configuration graphs on the left show the DCV component of the signal to the outside air damper. Depending on the conditions and the DCV configuration, the signal to the damper might be controlled by Minimum Position, Economizer Loop, or other components. The maximum of these component values is used, not the sum of them. (If there is a Low Limit alarm, however, these signals are overridden, and the damper is closed.)
NOTE: DCV is only available when using an AHU, RTU, or HPU application with a modulating economizer option enabled. Without that configuration, DCV will not appear in menus, but the CO2 ppm readings will (unless turned off in the User Interface menu) still show on the lower right of the display.
The graph below shows an example of how a cooling setpoint and the outside air damper position could be efficiently controlled by a FlexStat’s built-in combination of schedule, motion sensor (configured for occupancy standby and occupancy override), and CO2 sensor (configured for Advanced DCV).For more details about DCV configuration and operation, see the FlexStat Operation Guide and FlexStat Application Guide.
