Quick Start

The KMC FlexStat series of intelligent temperature/

humidity-sensing, wall-mounted, thermostat/

controllers are native BACnet Advanced Application 

Controllers (B-AAC) for use in a BACnet system. 

The FlexStat simplifies networked zone control for 

common packaged HVAC equipment by including 

an on-board library of programs that permits rapid 

configuration of a wide range of HVAC control 

applications.

To use the FlexStat:
1.  Mount and wire the unit (see this Installation 

Guide).

NOTE:  This document gives basic mounting, 

wiring, and setup information only. For 

configuration, programming, operation, 

and other information, see the KMC 

Controls web site (www.kmccontrols.com) 

for the latest documents and firmware. For 

installation instructions of FlexStats with 

output configurations other than 6 relays 

and 3 analog outputs, see that model’s 

respective installation guide.

2.  Configure/program the unit

 (see the FlexStat 

Operation and Application Guides).

3.  If necessary, troubleshoot any issues

 (see the 

FlexStat Operation Guide).

4.  Operate the unit

 (see the FlexStat Operation 

Guide).

Cover hex screws

For optimum temperature sensor performance, 

the FlexStat must be mounted on an interior wall 

and away from heat sources, sunlight, windows, 

air vents, and air circulation obstructions (e.g., 

curtains, furniture). 

(See the Application Guide for 

more information.)

Additionally, for a model with an occupancy sen-

sor option, be sure to install it where it will have 

unobstructed view of the most typical traffic area

 

(see the Application Guide for more information).
If replacing an existing thermostat, label wires as 

needed for reference when removing the existing 

thermostat.
1.  Complete rough-in wiring at each location prior 

to thermostat installation. Cable insulation must 

meet local building codes.

2.  Turn the hex screws in the bottom and top of 

the FlexStat 

clockwise

 until they clear the cover. 

(See Illustration 1.) Pull the cover away from the 

backplate (mounting base).

3.  Route the wiring through the backplate.
4.  With the embossed UP toward the ceiling, fasten 

the backplate directly to a 

vertical

 2 x 4 inch wall 

handy-box. (For horizontal or 4 x 4 applications, 

use the HMO-10000 wall mounting plate.)

5.  Make the appropriate connections to the terminal 

blocks. (See the Connections and Wiring section.)

6.  Place the FlexStat cover over the backplate 

while 

being careful not to pinch or dislodge any 

wiring

. Back the hex screws (

counterclockwise

out of the brackets until they engage the FlexStat 

cover and hold it in place.

 CAUTION

To prevent mounting screw heads from touching the 
circuit board in the thermostat, use only the mounting 
screws supplied by KMC Controls. Using screws other 
than the type supplied may damage the FlexStat.
