Installation and Mounting

The following section describes how to field install a new 

BACnet IP communication module or replace an existing 

module on the unit controller.

 CAUTION

Electrostatic  discharge  hazard .  Can  cause  equipment 

damage .

This equipment contains sensitive electronic components that may be 

damaged by electrostatic discharge from your hands.  Before you handle 

a communication module, you need to touch a grounded object, such as 

the metal enclosure, in order to discharge the electrostatic potential from 

your body.

 WARNING

Electric  shock  hazard .  Can  cause  personal  injury  or 

equipment damage

.

This equipment must be properly grounded. Only personnel knowledgeable 

in the operation of the equipment being controlled must perform connections 

and service to the unit controller.

Field Installation Kit 

The BACnet communication module field-installed kit ships 

with the following items:

•  The BACnet IP communication module 
• 

Board-to-board connector (

Figure 4)

Refer to the 

Parts 

section for replacement information. 

Installing a new Communication Module

Follow these steps to install a BACnet communication module 

on the unit controller.  The module can be connected directly to 

the unit controller itself or to an existing module, if present.

NOTE: 

There is a limit of three devices that can be attached 

to the left side of the unit controller. 

1. 

Set the “Control Mode = Off” from the main menu on the 

unit controller display menu. This must be done prior to 

installing a new communication module.

2.  Remove power from the unit controller.
3. 

Carefully remove the blue plastic knockout strip on 

the far left end of the unit controller itself (or additional 

module, if present). 

Figure 4

 shows the knockout strip 

after it has been removed from the unit controller. 

4.  To prevent damage to the unit controller, insert a small 

screwdriver or other tool to the tab on the bottom of the 

unit controller and pull the screwdriver away from the 

controller.

5. 

Carefully remove the blue plastic knockout on the far 

right side of the BACnet communication module.

6. 

Insert the board-to-board connector into the BACnet 

communication module. Note that it only fits one way and 

that the baffles must line up with corresponding slots in 

BACnet communication module and the unit controller 

(

Figure 3

 and 

Figure 5

).

7. 

Insert the other end of the board-to-board connector 

to the far left side of the unit controller or other 

communication module, if attached (

Figure 1

).

8. 

Insert a CAT 5 Ethernet cable into the communication 

module’s network connector  (

Figure 2 

shows the 

location of network connector).

9.  Power up the unit controller.

10.  The unit controller automatically resets itself 

approximately 30 seconds after it is powered up. This 

reset is necessary so that the BACnet communication 

module is synchronized with the unit controller.

Connector Inserted 

Replacing a Communication Module

Follow these steps to remove and replace a BACnet 

communication module. Note that it may already be connected 

to either the unit controller or to an existing module.

1. 

Set the “Control Mode = Off” from the main menu on the 

unit controller display menu. This must be done prior to 

replacing a communication module.

2.  Remove power from the unit controller.
3.  Locate the BACnet communication module to the left of 

the unit controller (

Figure 1

).

4. 

Pull the network cable connector from the BACnet 

communication module.

5. 

Grasp the BACnet communication module and gently 

pull it from the unit controller (or from an adjacent 

module, if it is attached to one).

6.  Install the new BACnet communication module.
7. 

Insert a CAT 5 Ethernet cable into the communication 

module’s network connector (

Figure 2)

.

8.  Apply power to the unit controller.

NOTE: 

The unit controller automatically resets itself 

approximately 30 seconds after power has been 

applied to it. This reset is necessary so that the 

BACnet communication module can synchronize with 

the unit controller.
