CONTEMPORARY CONTROLS BAST-221CH-B2 BACnet MS/TP Thermostat with Humidity
Reading
The BASstat series of BACnet-compliant wired communicating thermostats are BTL listed to ensure effortless integration into BACnet MS/TP (EIA-485) networks. These thermostats are suited for single or multi-stage heating, cooling, and ventilation binary output control applications such as RTU or AHU. Configurable control algorithm parameters allow adaptability to the specific application. Adaptive control algorithm applied to multi-stage on/off control saves energy and ensures seamless comfort for the occupants. Built-in temperature sensor, input for remote temperature sensor, or temperature override network command from Building Automation System. Occupancy status can be set from thermostat buttons or over the BACnet network. Thermostat buttons are optionally lockable to prevent unauthorized control. Digital display with graphical icons is easy to read and understand. Several icons indicate parameters such as: Active Mode, Cooling stage 1 or 2, Heating stage 1 or 2, Ventilation Only, Fan Active, Occupied / Unoccupied state, and Clock icon to indicate Short Cycle Delay or Max Cycles per hour active waiting state. Four main control types are available: Cooling and Heating with Auto-changeover, Cooling or Heating with Manual-changeover, Cooling only, and Heating only. These control types are selectable from Engineering Menu (tyPE) or BACnet object MSV8.

BAST-221CH-B2 BASstat BACnet MS/TP Thermostat with Humidity Reading Installation Guide
Installation
The BASstat requires 24 VAC while drawing no more than 5 VA of power. The
recommended conductor size is 16–18 AWG or 1.5mm2 wires.
WARNING: Internally, this device utilizes a half-wave rectifier and
therefore can only share the same AC power source with other half-wave
rectified devices. Sharing AC power with full-wave rectified devices is NOT
recommended. Devices powered from a common AC source could be damaged if a mix
of half-wave and full-wave rectified devices exists.
The BASstat does not provide End-of-Line termination. If the BASstat 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 EIA-485 input terminal to avoid network
errors or failure.
BASstat mounts directly onto wall, panel, standard 65×65mm junction box (hole
pitch 60 mm) or standard 2×4 inch vertical junction box (hole pitch 83.5 mm).
To mount on electric box, separate back plate from the controller by loosening
the screw. Align the mounting holes of the back plate to the screw holes of
the electric box. Fix the back plate to the electric box using screws.
Suggested screws for use are Phillips wide “truss head” or “washer head”
screws #6-32 x ¾” (20mm). Wire the controller and mount on top of back plate.
Secure by tightening the mount screw at the bottom.
WARNING: DO NOT let the back-mount screw heads rise above the back plate
or it may touch the circuit board and cause a short.
BACnet MS/TP configuration requires setting the baud rate (9.6kbps – 76.8kbps)
or using the default baud rate of 38.4kbps. A unique MS/TP MAC address is
required to distinguish each thermostat from other MS/TP devices on the bus
(default MAC address is 1).
When more than one BASstat is installed at the same time on the same EIA-485
bus, their MAC addresses must be configured prior to communicating with all
thermostats on the MS/TP bus, or communication will fail due to duplicate MAC
addresses. The MAC address can be set from Engineering Menu item (Addr) with
values of 1 – 127.
The baud rate can be set from menu item (bAud) 9.6kbps – 76.8kbps. A unique
Device Instance number throughout the entire BACnet internetwork is also
required to distinguish the device from all other BACnet devices. Device
instance can be modified in Engineering Menu items (dEVH) – high bytes and
(dEVL) – low bytes; Device Instance = (dEVH)*1000+(dEVL). Max masters setting
can be set from menu item (AdrH), default value is 127.
To enter the Engineering Menu, hold down the UP and DOWN buttons
simultaneously for 5 seconds. Use the UP and DOWN buttons to navigate through
the menu and change menu item values. Use the MODE button to enter a menu item
and accept/confirm a selected value. To exit the Engineering Menu, navigate to
menu item (End) and press MODE, or the menu will exit automatically when not
used.
Mechanical Drawing
Operation Overview
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
device over the BACnet network.
The default control type is Cooling and Heating with Auto-changeover. Two main
control types are available: Cooling and Heating with Auto-changeover or
Cooling and Heating with Manual-changeover. These control types are selectable
from Engineering Menu (tyPE) or BACnet object MSV8.
User-side comfort control is accomplished with six buttons – mode (Heat, Cool,
or Ventilation – dependent on control type chosen from Engineering Menu (tyPE)
or BACnet object MSV8), fan, raise, lower, set, and power. There are also
options to lock select buttons or all buttons on the thermostat. A large LCD
display indicates setpoint, space temperature, and current mode of operation
using graphical icons.
By default, the BASstat thermostat will not provide Fan output signal when in
Heat Mode since most HVAC comfort systems provide their own Fan control signal
based on a delay after a call for heating. This can be configured from
Engineering Menu item (F-Ht) or BACnet object BV15 with a default value of 0.
To enable Fan control signal output for heating, set this value to 1.
Reset settings can be performed from Engineering Menu item (rSt) which will
reset all parameters including communication (MAC and BACnet Device Instance)
and all control algorithm values back to factory-programmed defaults.
