  • Page 8: Installation instructions for the BASstat 421C-B2 include surface-mounting on an interior wall, away from direct sunlight or air movement. The display can be removed from its base by loosening a small Philips screw. The base can be mounted onto the wall with appropriate fasteners, aligning with a single-gang electrical junction box if used. Two terminal blocks provide all field connections, with BACnet MS/TP data communication at terminals 16 and 17. The BASstat does not provide End-of-Line termination; a termination resistor must be applied if it is the first or last device on the MS/TP bus. Remote sensor input is located at terminals 13 and 14, while the remote occupancy input is at terminals 14 and 15. The BASstat is powered by a Class 2 compliant power source, accepting 24VAC with a maximum of 5VA power consumption. It should comply with the National Electric Code (NEC) article 725 and carry a listing from a regulatory agency. The BASstat uses 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.
  • Page 9: 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. Devices powered from a common AC source could be damaged if a mix of half-wave 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. Wiring: 14 to 22 AWG wires or 1.5mm² wires. Wiring diagram.
  • Page 10: Operation involves user-side control with six buttons: MODE, FAN, UP, DOWN, SET, and POWER. A large LCD display shows setpoint, space temperature, occupancy status, and current mode of operation. System modes available depend on the control type chosen from the Engineering Menu or BACnet object. Button operation may be limited by the installation engineer, especially if controlled over a BACnet network. The POWER button toggles between ON or OFF states to start or stop the thermostat. Pressing any button at power ON starts User Mode operation. The MODE button toggles between different HVAC operating modes such as Cool, Heat, or Ventilate. The UP/DOWN buttons adjust the temperature setpoint or toggle fan modes. The SET button allows toggling between Occupied or Unoccupied states outside of scheduled operation. If no button is pressed for 10 seconds, the thermostat returns to the normal display with the last known setting.
  • Page 11: User mode thermostat operation includes the following key points: Normal display shows the current room or set-point temperature. The desired temperature can be set using the Up/Down arrows. BACnet objects can be used to write or force the setpoint to a desired value. The working mode can be selected by pressing the MODE button and using the Up/Down button. Available modes include cooling, heating, or ventilating. The fan mode can be changed between auto or continuous on. In auto mode, the fan operates automatically; if flashing, it is under a delay timer. When the fan icon is spinning without auto displayed, the fan runs continuously. Occupancy settings can be toggled between occupied and unoccupied using the UP and DOWN arrows. The SET button may be locked to prevent user control of occupancy state.
  • Page 12: User mode flow chart 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 is the default control type in this thermostat. 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 in heat mode. 4-pipe cooling or heating with manual changeover requires a command from the user or BACnet supervisor to switch modes. The user can choose to switch between cool and heat modes using the mode button. BACnet controlled allows the thermostat algorithm to be bypassed and controlled over the BACnet network. The logic executing in the supervisor can control the thermostat over the BACnet network.
  • Page 13: Cool only and heat only modes are control types listed in the BACnet object but are not available for use. Control type is configurable by the installer using Engineering Mode Menu or BACnet supervisor. 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. A PID adaptive control algorithm is applied to minimize overshoot. The default control type allows the thermostat to operate as fully stand-alone. Control type can be selected in (tyPe) or [MSV8]. Occupied and unoccupied cooling and heating set points can be set individually. The minimum control analog output voltage for the modulating valves is set to 0 volts. A current temperature value can be assigned through BACnet AV-1 to replace the onboard temperature sensor value.
  • Page 14: Floating deadband allows temperature setpoints to adjust while maintaining the configured deadband. Minimum cooling setpoint is confined by the low limit plus deadband, with a default of 18°C/65°F. Maximum heating setpoint is confined by the high limit minus deadband, with a default of 25°C/77°F. Lowest fan speed is the default speed after a control action in AUTO mode, with options for fan operation. If set to Stop (1), the fan will shut off after a control action plus a 2-minute delay. If set to Low (2), the fan will run continuously after a control action. Fan mode can be toggled between AUTO or ON using the FAN button or BACnet object. By default, fan mode is set to Auto(1), with the AUTO icon displayed. To set the fan to ON mode, change the BACnet setting to Low(2), causing continuous operation. The FAN button can be locked to limit user access or programmed to default at the end of an occupancy cycle.
  • Page 15: Occupancy setting can be defined in several ways. Occupancy will be detected by ESI contact by default. Energy Savings Input (ESI) is a dry contact input for communication from a customer-supplied occupancy sensor. Occupancy status can be set by a BACnet supervisor using writable object ESI Contact Definition. User control of occupancy state is allowed from the SET button if E12/AV18 Lock has the ESI Contact disabled. Occupancy Status is a read-only BACnet object indicating current occupancy state. When in unoccupied state, a Moon icon will be displayed on the LCD, and the thermostat will change set-point temperatures. When the state changes back to occupied, the thermostat will return to the occupied set-point values, and a sunlight icon will be displayed. Thermostat configuration can be performed using the engineering menu or by controlling BACnet objects. It is highly suggested that engineering mode be operated by trained installers only.
  • Page 16: Menu item selection allows access to various settings. The display will revert to User mode after 10 seconds if no action is taken. Settings require confirmation using the MODE button to be saved. To exit Engineering Mode, select the End menu item and press the MODE button. Alternatively, inactivity for 10 seconds will return the thermostat to User mode.

  • Page 20: Changing values requires unlocking modification for communication parameters. The device instance number is calculated using devH and devL. The lock function setup enables or disables features in the thermostat. The first 10 bits of the lock register are used for toggling features. Bits are represented by their decimal values and can be added or subtracted. The lock function includes buttons such as MODE, DOWN, UP, and POWER. Unlocking all features is indicated by a value of 0. Each button has a specific decimal value associated with it for locking. The default value of 64 maintains occupancy selection over BACnet. Modification for communication parameters is locked with a value of 256.
