Section 2 — Installing the Controller
This section provides important instructions and guidelines for installing the
BAC-8007 and BAC-8207 controllers. Carefully review this information before
installing the controller.
Installing the VAV controller includes the following topics that are covered
in this section.
- Setting the rotation limits on page 9
- Mounting on page 10
- Connecting Inputs on page 14
- Connecting Outputs on page 12
- Connecting to an MS/TP Network on page 14
- Connecting an Airflow Sensor on page 17
- Connecting Power on page 17
In addition to the topics, see the section Dual-duct connections on page 18 for connecting the controllers to a TSP-8000 actuator for dual-duct operation.
SETTING THE ROTATION LIMITS
Before mounting the controller, set the rotation limits with the supplied stop
screw. Installing the stop screw limits the shaft rotation to either 45 or 60
degrees.
CAUTION
Before setting the rotation limits on the controller, refer to the damper
position specifications in the VAV control box to which the controller will be
attached. Setting rotation limits that do not match the VAV damper may result
in improper operation or equipment damage.
To set the rotational limits:
- Turn the controller over so you have access to the back.
- Manually rotate the actuator fully clockwise as viewed from the back.
- Remove the stop screw from its storage location and clean any debris from the threads.
- Insert the screw into the correct stop position hole.
- Tighten the screw only until the head touches the plastic in the bottom of the recess.
MOUNTING
Mount the controller inside of a metal enclosure. To maintain RF emissions
specifications, use either shielded connecting cables or enclose all cables in
conduit.
Mount the controller directly over the damper shaft. A minimum shaft length of
2.0 inch (51 mm) is required.
NOTE
The controller is designed to directly mount to 3/8 to 5/8 inch (9.5 to 16mm)
round or 3/8 to 7/16 (9.5 to 11mm) square damper shafts. Mount the controller
close enough to the pitot tubes to keep the tubing length to a minimum. In
typical installations the controller’s inputs and sensors are within 24 inches
of each other.
Mount the controller as follows:
-
Loosen the nuts on the U-bolt until the shaft can fit through the collar.
-
Place the controller on the damper shaft in the approximate final position. Position the controller loosely against the mounting surface so that the mounting bushing can float freely in the mounting tab.
-
Center the mounting bushing in the slot of the mounting tab and secure it using a #8 self-tapping screw.
-
Manually position the damper in the full open position.
-
Adjust the drive hub as follows:
a. If the damper rotates counter clockwise to close, depress the gear disengagement button and rotate the drive hub to the full clockwise position then release the button.
b. If the damper rotates clockwise to close, depress the gear disengagement button and rotate the drive hub to the full counter clockwise position then release the button. -
Lock the hub to the shaft by evenly tightening the V-bolt nuts to 30 to 35 in-lbs.

CONNECTING TO SENSORS
Connect any of the following sensors to the RJ-45 thermostat and sensor jack.
- STE-8001STE-8201
- STE-6010
- STE-6014
- STE-6017
Link the controller to sensors with standard straight-through Ethernet cables
up to 75 feet long. See the installation guide supplied with the sensors for
complete sensor installation instructions.
No programming or configuration is required for the supported sensors.
The controller is configured to automatically detect which type of sensor is
connected to it.
CONNECTING TO AN MS/TP NETWORK
The BAC-8000 series controllers are BACnet MS/TP compliant controllers.
Connect them only to a BACnet MS/TP network.
See Application Note AN0404A, Planning BACnet Networks for additional
information about installing controllers. Connections and wiring
Use the following principles when connecting a controller to an MS/TP network:
- Connect no more than 128 addressable BACnet devices to one MS/TP network. The devices can be any mix of controllers or routers.
- To prevent network traffic bottlenecks, limit the MS/TP network size to 60 controllers.
- Use 18 gauge, twisted pair, shielded cable with capacitance of no more than 51 picofarads per foot for all network wiring. Belden cable model #82760 meets the cable requirements.
- Connect the -A terminal in parallel with all other – terminals.
- Connect the +B terminal in parallel with all other + terminals.
- Connect the shields of the cable together at each controller. For KMC BACnet controllers use the S terminal.
- Connect the shield to an earth ground at one end only.
- Use a KMD–5575 repeater between every 32 MS/TP devices or if the cable length will exceed 4000 feet (1220 meters). Use no more than four repeaters per MS/TP network.
- Place a KMD–5567 surge surpressor in the cable where it exits a building.
NOTE
The MS/TP terminals are labeled -A, +B and S. The S terminal is provided as a
connecting point for the shield. The terminal is not connected to the ground
of the ontroller. When connecting to controllers from other manufacturers,
verify the shield connection is not connected to ground.
CONNECTING TO AN MS/TP NETWORK (CONTINUED)
End of the line termination switches
The controllers on the physical ends of the EIA-485 wiring segment must have
end-of-line termination installed for proper network operation. Set the end-
of-line termination to On using the EOL switches.
Illustration 2-13 shows thez position of the BAC-8000 End-of-Line switches associated with the MS/TP inputs.
CONNECTING AN AIRFLOW SENSOR
An airflow sensor is incorporated as one of the inputs to the controller.
Remove the plugs and connect the tubing from the pitot assembly to the airflow
sensor inputs next to the drive hub. (See Illustration 2-14). The airflow
sensor is programmed as Input 1.
CONNECTING POWER
The controllers require an external, 24 volt, AC power source. Use the following guidelines when choosing and wiring transformers.
- Use a Class-2 transformer of the appropriate size to supply power to the controllers. Titus recommends powering only one controller from each transformer.
- Do not run 24 volt, AC power from within an enclosure to external controllers.
Connect the 24 volt AC power supply to the power terminal block on the lower right side of the controller near the power jumper. Connect the ground side of the transformer to the ground terminal and the AC phase to the phase ~ terminal. Power is applied to the controller when the transformer is powered.
DUAL-DUCT CONNECTIONS
The BAC-8007 and BAC-8207 controllers are configured by the manufacturer for
dual-duct operation. Connect the controllers to a TSP-8000 series actuator as
shown in the illustration Dual-duct wiring diagram below.
Section 3 — Setting up Dual-Duct Controllers
The topics in this section cover setting up the BAC-8007 and BAC-8207 for
