TEMPERATURE AND RH OFFSET

This device allows for a temperature offset of +/-5C (9F) and an RH offset of +/-10%. By default, these 
values are set to 0, meaning no offset is added.

These are set by writing to the present value of the Temperature Calibration Offset (AV0) or RH Calibration 
Offset (AV1). The value written must be within the specified range or an error will be returned. To set back 
to factory settings, write any changed values to 0.

TEMPERATURE UNITS CONFIGURATION

For temperature, the units of measure can be configured using 
BACnet. By writing to the units property of the temperature sensor 
(AI0), the reported temperature units can be changed.

shows the values to write.

Note: The table shows all objects for Temperature and RH. If you have a Temperature only model, the RH objects(AI-1 and 
AV-1) will not be present. If you have a RH only model, the Temperature objects (AI-0 and AV-0) will not be present.

MODBUS RTU DATABITS, 

PARITY, AND STOP BITS 

SELECTION

Confirm Modbus Protocol is selected via 
dipswitch #4 on SW4 - see

 FIGURE 8 (P.4)

. The 

device that requests information is called the 
Modbus Master and the devices giving the 
information are Modbus Slaves.  The Modbus 
sensors are slave devices and the number of Data 
Bits needs to be the same as in the Master device 
configuration. ACI’s Modbus RTU sensors utilize 8 
data bits during communication exchange.

Parity and stop bit selection is performed via the 
SW4 switch located on the board.  Dipswtiches #1 
and #2 are adjusted to select the parity and stop 

bits -  see 

TABLE 7

. Where (0) is OFF and (1) is ON. 

If BACnet protocol is selected these dipswitches 
are irrelevant.  

TEST MODE Modbus RTU

There are 5 data values in test mode.  Coil 1001, 
Holding Registers (HR) 1001 and 1002, and the 
Input Registers (IR) 0003 and 0004 for Temp and 
RH values.  When Coil 1001 is enabled, reading IR 
0003 and 0004 will respond with the values in HR 
1001 and 1002, other wise they will respond with 
the actual sensor values.  General process for this 
is to write initial test values to HR 1001 and 1002, 
Enable Coil 1001 and then read as normal from IR 
0003 and 0004.  While Coil 1001 is enable, it is 
possible to write a change of value to IR 1001 and 
1002, which will be reflected in the next read from 
IR 0003 and 0004.  When testing completed, 
disable Coil 1001.  The status of Coil 1001 and HR 
1001 and 1002 are not persistent between 
reset/power cycle.
