Applications
The Smart Building Hub (SBH300) is the base controller for the Verasys
™
Building Automation
System (BAS) that provides wired and wireless connection between all Smart Equipment, Verasys
and supported third-party controllers.
The SBH300 features many-to-one, multi-client connectivity for access to any Verasys Controller
or BACnet
®
MS/TP field device. The SBH300 directly connects to wired or wireless BACnet (MS/
TP) field bus devices, including Verasys Zone Coordinators (VZC), Verasys Zone Controllers (ZEC),
Verasys Application Controllers (VAC), and TEC Smart Thermostats. The SBH is also compatible
with Smart Equipment RTUs and third-party BACnet devices that meet the required BACnet MS/TP
specifications. For more information, refer to the Verasys BACnet MS/TP Integration Technical Bulletin
(LIT-12013606)
BACnet MS/TP Equipment connects wirelessly to the SBH300 using the Transparent MS/TP Wireless
Router (TMR). BACnet MS/TP Equipment connected to the SBH300 is automatically discovered when
uniquely addressed.
The SBH300 has a USB Wi-Fi access point to provide an intuitive, browser-based interface for
simple control of a light commercial or mid-market building.The wireless access point range with a
supported mobile device is 31 m (100 ft) line of sight, while indoors, and 91 m (300 ft) line of sight
outside. You can access the user interface over Wi-Fi access point or set-up remote access through
an Ethernet connection to the Internet. For more information, refer to the Verasys Smart Building
Hub (SBH) Network and IT Guidance Technical Bulletin (LIT-12012324).
The SBH300 connects to cloud services for routine firmware updates over Ethernet or Wi-Fi Client
with the included USB Wi-Fi adapter.
You can mount the SBH300 permanently onto a DIN rail or secure it onto a stable, flat surface.
Supply power for the SBH300 is provided through the included AC power supply or an external 24
VAC connected to the terminal block plug.
Installation
Special tools needed
To use the SBH300, you require a Wi-Fi or Ethernet capable device, such as a phone or computer
with a compatible web browser. See Technical specifications.
Mounting
Location considerations
Follow these guidelines when you mount the SBH300:
• Mount the SBH300 in areas free of corrosive vapors and observe the environmental limitations
listed in the Technical specifications section.
• Solid objects including walls, duct work, cabinets, doors, and glass can impede the Wi-Fi signal.
Minimize the number of barriers between the connected computer or mobile device and the
SBH300. Use line of sight, if possible.
• Metal objects such as cabinet doors, enclosures, and pipes, and concrete objects such as pillars,
walls, and ceilings can limit Wi-Fi service.
• Do not mount the SBH300 outside.
