Introduction

The BAST-421C-B2 is a member of the BASstat BACnet Communicating Thermostat series. It provides modulated heating and cooling control in an attractive wall-mounted enclosure with a large LCD display. Intended for use with 4-pipe heated/chilled water fan coil units (FCUs), the thermostat can control 2 analog modulating water valve actuators and one binary supply fan. This BASstat is BACnet compliant and BTL listed to ensure seamless integration into a BACnet network, using BACnet/MSTP over 2-wire RS-485, and can be routed to BACnet/IP clients using a Contemporary Controls BASrouter (BASRT-B). A large and easy to read LCD display indicates setpoint, space temperature and current mode of operation using graphical icons.

The BASstat has a built-in space temperature sensor with provision for remote wired 3kΩ NTC thermistor sensor or temperature value can be sent by another communicating device over the BACnet network. The BASstat is configurable locally using the Engineering Menu or via a network connection to a BACnet client. Contemporary Controls’ free BACnet Discovery Tool can be used for initial discovery and configuration of the thermostat over BACnet. Control algorithm parameters such as deadband, proportional gain, integral rate and trip points are all configurable. This BASstat also features configurable fan control and occupancy selection. All states are indicated by graphical icons on the thermostat display.

The numerous features available in the BASstat can be configured by the systems integrator to meet user requirements in two different ways. One way is using a button  sequence on the thermostat in order to enter the Engineering Menu – which requires physical access to the thermostat. Optionally, the buttons could be locked to limit user  access to Engineering Menu after installation is complete. The second method is configuring the thermostat over the BACnet network using a BACnet client device or  software such as Contemporary Controls’ free BACnet Discovery Tool (BDT). All features available are configurable using both methods.
NOTE: 2-pipe heat/cool applications and floating-type valve actuators are not supported by this device.

Installation

The BASstat 421C-B2 is intended for surface-mount installation on an interior wall, away from direct sunlight or direct air movement. The display (top half) can be removed from its base by loosening the small Philips screw at the bottom of the display. Once the display is removed from the base, the base can be mounted onto the wall with appropriate fasteners. If a singlegang electrical junction box is to be used, the top and bottom mounting holes will align with the screw holes in the junction box.

3.1 Terminal Block Pin Assignments
Two terminal blocks provide for all field connections. BACnet MS/TP data communication connections can be found at terminals 16 and 17 and are polarity sensitive. This BASstat does not provide End-of-Line termination. If the BASstat-421C-B2 is the first or last device on the MS/TP bus, a termination resistor (120Ω) must be applied across pins 16 and 17 of the input terminal. The remote sensor input (RS) is at terminals 13 and 14. The remote occupancy (ESI) input is a dry contact closure input located at terminals 14 and 15.

3.2 Limited Power Source
The BASstat is intended to be powered by a Class 2 compliant power source and only accepts 24VAC with no more than 5VA of power consumption. It should be powered  by a Class 2 power source complying with the requirements of the National Electric Code (NEC) article 725. The transformer or power supply complying with the Class 2  rating must carry a corresponding listing from a regulatory agency such as Underwriters Laboratories (UL).

3.3 Power Supply Precautions
Internally, the BASstat utilizes a half-wave rectifier and can share the same AC power source with other half-wave rectified devices. Sharing AC power with full-wave rectified  devices is NOT recommended. AC power sources that power several half-wave devices have a common secondary connection called COMMON, LO, or GROUND.  Connect the HOT side of the secondary to the 24 VAC high side input on the BASstat and the LO side to 24 VAC common.
WARNING: Devices powered from a common AC source could be damaged if a mix of halfwave and full-wave rectified devices are both present. If you are not sure of the  type of rectifier used by another device, do not share the AC source with it.

Operation

4.1 User Mode
User-side control is accomplished with six buttons – MODE (Heat, Cool, or Ventilate), FAN (Auto or On), UP, DOWN, SET, and POWER. There are also options to lock  the panel buttons to limit user access if so required. A large LCD display indicates setpoint, space temperature, occupancy status, and current mode of operation using  graphical icons.
System modes (Cool, Heat, Ventilate) available to the user are dependent on control type chosen from Engineering Menu (tyPE) or BACnet object [MSV7] Control Type. See  section 4.2 Control Type of this manual).
System modes and button operation may be limited by installation engineer, especially if the thermostat is completely controlled over BACnet network.
The first tier of operation includes the following settings as shown below. To operate the thermostat:

1. The POWER button toggles between ON or OFF states to start / stop the thermostat. This will disable control (ON/OFF control can be accomplished over BACnet as well).
2. At power ON, press any button to start the User Mode operation. Press the MODE button to toggle between different HVAC operating modes such as Cool, Heat, or Ventilate@Cool and Ventilate@Heat. Press the UP/ DOWN buttons to adjust temperature setpoint or rotate the values of a setting. Press the FAN button to toggle fan modes of AUTO or CONTINUOUS On. If no AUTO icon is displayed, the fan will run continuously until commanded off using button on thermostat or BACnet command. If AUTO icon is flashing, the fan is operating under delay timer and will shut off automatically when delay timer expires. Press the SET button and use UP/ DOWN buttons to toggle the unit between Occupied or Unoccupied states when outside of scheduled operation. Use SET or MODE to apply (SET button can be locked in applications forbidding occupancy state user control).
3. Thermostat will return to normal display with the last known setting if there’s no button pressed for 10 seconds.

4.2 Control Type
Control Type, System Mode and Algorithm Configuration
System modes available to the user are dependent on control type.
4-Pipe Cooling or Heating with Auto Changeover – This the default control type in this thermostat. Mostly used for standalone operation. The thermostat will switch between Cool and Heat modes automatically. In this control type, the user will be presented with a choice of Heat or Ventilation@Heat when the thermostat is in Heat mode (automatic), and Cool or Ventilation@Cool when the thermostat is in Cool mode (automatic).
4-Pipe Cooling or Heating with Manual Changeover – In this control type the thermostat will wait for a command from user or BACnet supervisor to switch between Cool and Heat modes. The user will be presented with a choice of Heat or Ventilation@Heat when the thermostat is in Heat mode, and Cool or Ventilation@Cool when the thermostat is in Cool mode. The user can choose to switch between Cool and Heat modes using the MODE button.
BACnet controlled – In this control type the built-in thermostat algorithm can be bypassed, and the thermostat can be controlled over the BACnet network with commands  from the supervisor device. The logic executing in the supervisor (such as Niagara or Sedona logic) can control the thermostat over the BACnet network. To put the  thermostat in BACnet network control mode, use the Lock [AV18] object bit 9: Control DOs by thermostat algorithm “0” (default) or BACnet supervisor “1” (add decimal=512).
Cool Only and Heat Only modes (nullified/disabled in firmware) are control types listed in the BACnet object and Engineering Menu object but are not available for use.
Control type is only configurable by the installer using Engineering Mode Menu or BACnet supervisor. The installer must decide the control type suitable for the application, set it to a static value, or program the BACnet supervisor to change the control type automatically. The default control type is set to 4-Pipe Cooling or heating with Auto Changeover. Manual Changeover can be used to prevent excessive automatic changeover between cooling and heating system modes.

Algorithm

• A PID adaptive control algorithm is applied to minimize overshoot, in addition to proportional band (Stage Width) and derivative (Differential) calculation.
• When the thermostat is active (either the heating or cooling stage is on), a “Working ()” icon will be shown on the LCD.

System Mode

• The default control type, modulating cooling and heating with automatic changeover, allows the thermostat to operate as fully stand-alone. Manual Changeover allows  restriction of mode selection to Cool only or Heat only where necessary. Control Type can be selected in (tyPe) or [MSV8].
• For manual changeover control, cooling or heating system modes can be selected by pressing the MODE button or using a BACnet command to object [MSV1]. In  application where user control needs to be limited, the lock button function can be used to disable MODE button.
• Occupied Cooling [AV0] and Heating [AV3] set points and Unoccupied Cooling [AV8] and Heating [AV9] setpoints can be set individually. Minimum deadband [AV7] can be programmed as well.

Modulating Valve Offset

• The minimum control analog output voltage (low limit) for the modulating valves (AO1 and AO2) is set to 0 volts. These values can be changed at [AV11] for AO1 and [AV27] for AO2. The setting is measured as an LSB range of 0~125.

Assigned Current Temperature

• A current temperature value can be assigned thru BACnet AV-1 to take place of the onboard temperature sensor value. The assigned value is valid if BACnet communication is driving a flip-flop signal to (BV-16: heartbeat signal) within the (AV-29: Heartbeat Rate time) period (in seconds). Otherwise, the assigned temperature will revert back to the onboard sensor reading.

Floating Deadband

• The Heat and Cool temperature setpoints could be “attached” together. This means that as one setpoint is adjusted and “hits” against the deadband region, it will “push” the deadband region and the other setpoint along the temperature setpoint axis to allow for adjustment while maintaining the configured deadband. If the  setpoint is adjusted back the other way, it will “pull” the deadband region and the other setpoint along the temperature setpoint axis.

Minimum Cooling Setpoint and Maximum Heating Setpoint

• Minimum Cooling Setpoint will be confined by set point low limit plus dead band and Minimum cooling setpoint [AV-39] Default 18°C/ 65°F
• Maximum Heating Setpoint will be confined by set point high limit minus dead band and Maximum heating setpoint [AV-40] Default 25°C/ 77°F

Fan Control Output

• Lowest Fan Speed is the speed the fan will default to after a control action (Heating or Cooling) with fan in AUTO mode. If the lowest fan speed [MSV4] is set as “Stop (1)”, the fan will automatically shut off after the control action plus a 2-minute fan-off time delay. During this delay, the AUTO icon will flash. If lowest fan speed is set to “Low (2)” the fan will run continuously after a control action
• Fan Mode can be toggled between AUTO or ON by using the FAN button on the thermostat or BACnet object [MSV0] Fan Mode (BACnet supervisor). By default, this value is set to “Auto(1)”, the AUTO icon is displayed, and fan operation will be controlled automatically. To put the fan in ON mode set [MSV0] to “Low(2)”. This will cause the fan to run continuously (no AUTO icon is displayed). Fan icon spins when fan is active. The FAN button can be locked to limit user access to this feature or the BACnet supervisor can be programmed to default the thermostat to certain state at the end of an occupancy cycle.

Occupancy Setting
There are several ways to define thermostat occupancy state. Note: Occupancy will be detected by ESI contact by default.

1. Energy Savings Input (ESI) This is a dry contact input meant for communication from a customer supplied occupancy sensor. (default)
2. Occupancy status (occupied/unoccupied) can be set by a BACnet supervisor using writable object ESI Contact Definition [BV14]. “0” for occupied, and “1” for unoccupied. E12/AV18 must be set with a value of 64 (disabled) in advance (E12/AV18 is set as 0 by default)
3. User control of occupancy state is allowed from the SET button if E12/ AV18 Lock has the ESI Contact disabled. Pressing the SET button and UP/DOWN buttons  will toggle the occupancy state. Press SET button to confirm. The SET button can work in conjunction with BACnet occupancy Command [BV14] on last-write-wins  basis. The SET button could be locked to limit user control (use Lock [AV18] BACnet object or (LOC) engineering menu item to lock SET button). In this case only the BACnet supervisor can set occupancy states.

• Occupancy Status [BI0] is a read-only BACnet object indicating current occupancy state -“0” for occupied, and “1” for unoccupied. (AV18 is set as 0 by default).
• When in unoccupied state, a Moon ( ) icon will be displayed on the LCD and the thermostat will change the set-point temperatures to the Unoccupied Cool and  Unoccupied Heat setpoints [AV8 – 9]. When the state changes back to occupied, the thermostat will return to the occupied set-point values for Cooling and Heating  Temperature Setpoint [AV0, AV3] and a sunlight icon () will be displayed to indicate occupied state on LCD.

4.3 Engineering Mode Menu
Thermostat configuration can be performed using the engineering menu or by controlling BACnet objects using a BACnet client tool such as Contemporary Controls free  BACnet Discovery Tool (BDT). It is highly suggested that engineering mode be operated by trained installers only because it is related to system parameters that will affect the control results.

Operation of Engineering Menu

• At power “ON,” press and hold both the UP and DOWN buttons simultaneously for 5 seconds to enter Engineering Mode menu.

• Press the UP or DOWN buttons to rotate through the menu items. The last item loops back to first item at the end of items in menu. Press the MODE button to enter a submenu item.

• Press the UP or DOWN button to change the setting in the submenu item.
  Press the MODE button to confirm the setting and return to menu item selection. If no button is pressed for 10 seconds, the display will return to the menu item selection. After another 10 seconds, the display will return back to User mode. Settings are not changed unless confirmed using the MODE button.

• To leave Engineering Mode, rotate till (End) menu item appears and press the MODE button. Alternately, pressing no buttons for 10 seconds will return the thermostat back to User mode
