Introduction
Congratulations on choosing the TCS QD3041 BACnet Building Manager! The QD3041 is a compact, versatile network
controller that seamlessly connects with Ubiquity Cloud™ via BACnet.
This manual includes all the information you will need to properly install and set up your QD3041. As most units ship
preconfigured, you will most likely only need to read the Installation section of this manual and you can skip the Configura
-
tion section. However, some customers do order their units without preconfiguration; for those customers, we include the
comprehensive
section which contains essential information they will need to set up the unit.
If you have any questions regarding your QD3041 or your network, do not hesitate to contact TCS Technical Support at
800-288-9383, ext. 2.

Mounting
The QD3041 is designed to be hung on a wall via the mounting screw holes in each unit. It may also be set on a shelf or
table.
If mounting on a wall, do not allow the mounting screws to contact the circuit board inside the enclosure
.
When selecting a location to mount the QD3041, be sure to allow space for cable connections. Locate the QD3041 away
from excessive dust, heat sources, moisture or direct sunlight. The ideal environment is a server room. The temperature of
the room should not exceed 77ºF (25ºC); proper ventilation is mandatory.
Input Connections
Refer to the
“QD3041 Power and Communication Connections” on page

Power:
Connect the included power supply to the back of the QD3041 and insert the power plug into a 120 VAC socket. A
blue light will show on the front of the unit, indicating it is powered up. If the unit does not automatically power up, press
the Power button on the front of the unit once.
Ethernet: Connect an Ethernet cable from your network port to the device’s Ethernet LAN port (C). Do NOT connect to port
L, which is reserved for Admin only. If you are using a cellular modem, connect an Ethernet cable from the QD3041 Ether
-
net LAN port (C) to the Ethernet port on the Cellular Modem.
RS-485 Network: Connect an RS-485 network to one of the COM ports.
