2. Connect the neutral side of the transformer to the controller’s common terminal 23 .
3. Connect the AC phase side of the transformer to the controller’s phase terminal 24 .

NOTE: Connect only one controller to each 24 VAC, Class-2 transformer with 12–24 AWG copper wire.
NOTE : Use either shielded connecting cables or enclose all cables in conduit to maintain RF emissions specifications

NOTE: To use DC power supply instead of AC, see the Power (Controller) Connections section of the KMC Conquest Controller Application Guide.
NOTE : For more information, see Sample (BAC- 5900A) Wiring on page 8 and the BAC- 5900 series videos in the KMC Conquest Controller Wiring playlist.

POWER AND COMMUNICATION STATUS

The status LEDs indicate power connection and network communication. The following descriptions detail their activity during normal operation (at least 5 to 20 seconds after power-up/initialization or restart).

NOTE: If both the green READY LED and the amber COMM LED remain OFF, check the power and cable connections to the controller.

Green READY LED 25
After controller power-up or restart is complete, the READY LED flashes steadily about once per second, indicating normal operation.
Amber (BACnet MS/TP) COMM LED 26

• During normal operation, the COMM LED flickers as the controller receives and passes the token over the BACnet MS/TP network.
• When the network is not connected or communicating properly, the COMM LED flashes more slowly (about once a second).

Green (EIO) COMM LED 27
The Expansion Input Output (EIO) status LED indicates EIO network communication with one or more CAN-5901 expansion modules. After controller power-up or restart, the LED flickers as it receives and passes the token:

• The EIO LED flashes when the controller is communicating with the EIO network
• The EIO LED remains OFF when the (powered) controller is not communicating with the EIO network. Check the power and EIO network connections.

NOTE: See the CAN-5901 I/O Expansion Module Installation Guide for more information.

Green ETHERNET LED 28
The Ethernet status LEDs indicate network connection and communication speed.

• The green Ethernet LED is ON when the controller is communicating with the network.
• The green Ethernet LED is OFF when the (powered) controller is not communicating with the network.

Amber ETHERNET LED 29

• The amber Ethernet LED flashes when the controller is communicating with a 100BaseT Ethernet network.
• The amber Ethernet LED remains OFF when the (powered) controller is communicating with the network at only 10 Mbps (instead of 100 Mbps).

NOTE : If both the green and amber Ethernet LEDs remain OFF, check the power and network cable connections.

MS/TP NETWORK ISOLATION BULBS

The two MS/TP network isolation bulbs 30 serve three functions:

• Removing the (HPO-0055) bulb assembly opens the MS/TP circuit and isolates the controller from the network.
• If one or both bulbs are ON, the network is improperly phased. This means the ground potential of the controller is not the same as other controllers on the network. If this happens, fix the wiring. See Connect (Optional) MS/TP Network on page 4.
• If the voltage or current on the network exceeds safe levels, the bulbs blow, opening the circuit. If this happens, fix the problem and replace the bulb assembly.

CONFIGURE/PROGRAM THE CONTROLLER
See the table for the most relevant KMC Controls tool for configuring, programming, and/or creating graphics for the controller. See the tools’ documents or Help systems for more information.

NOTE: After the controller has been configured, an STE-6010/6014/6017 series analog sensor can be connected to the controller in place of an STE-9000 series digital NetSensor.
NOTE : A BAC-5901ACE can be configured by connecting an HTML5-compatibl web browser to the controller’s default IP address (192.168.1.251). Refer to the

Conquest Ethernet Controller Configuration Web Pages Application Guide for more information about the built-in configuration web pages.

• Custom graphical user-interface web pages can be hosted on a remote web server, but not in the controller.
• Conquest Ethernet-enabled “E” models with the latest firmware can be configured with an HTML5 compatible web browser from pages served from within the controller. For information, see the Con quest Ethernet Controller Configuration Web Pages Application Guide.
