INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
TO INSTALL THE SMART-SPACE CONTROLLER
1 If mounting on drywall, or other wall material, mount a suitable electrical box or
mud ring in the wall where the controller is to be located. Direct installation to
the surface of the wall is also possible, but is not as secure, and therefore is not
recommended.
2 Remove the controller head from the backplate (Steps 2, 3, and 4 are detailed
later in this section).
3 Install the backplate on the electrical box wall, or other suitable surface.
4 Remove the terminal strips from the controller head, and set the input and
output jumpers.
5 If the SMART-Space Controller is to be networked, use standard EIA-485
network procedures (see detailed procedure later in this section).
6 Disconnect all power, and then terminate field wiring to the terminal strips.
Terminate with the terminal strips unattached (see detailed procedure later in
this section).
7 Attach terminal strips to the controller head, and attach the controller head to
the backplate. Loosen the Allen screws (counter-clockwise) until the controller
head is locked firmly in place.
8 Apply 24 VAC power to the controller (see procedure later in this section).
9 If the controller is to communicate on a network, the button pad can be used to
enter a unique MAC address (see detailed procedure later in this section);
however, this procedure is not essential. Multiple SMART-Space Controllers can
be networked and powered up, and then discovered and configured centrally
using the RC-Toolkit
®
BACnet MSet Tool.
10 To associate the controller with its physical location when using the RC-Toolkit
BACnet MSet Tool, remove the serial number sticker from the controller head,
and attach the sticker to the floorplan or a list of room numbers.
11 Allow 2 hours runtime before calibrating the onboard thermistor.
12 Download and commission the controller pan file using RC-Studio.
This controller is intended to be installed in accordance with the local Electrical Code for the
country and district where it is installed, and in a manner acceptable to the local authority
having jurisdiction.
Ground yourself before touching the controller to avoid damaging the electronics. Touch a
grounded metal surface to discharge static electricity.
