INSTALLATION & OPERATIONS GUIDE | MICROSET 4 Introduction The Microset 4 is a wall-mounted BACnet smart sensor. It is designed for applications with multiple zones, such as a restaurant or a shopping mall; or split zone control sites, like an office setting where occupants share a single zone split into multiple working areas.
UL 916 Certified System compatibility The Microset 4 sensors work with legacy VLCs and ROCs, but also support optional new features that require a new ROC to support. These features include transfer of CO2 data to the VLC, password protection of Service Mode, user control of LEDs, and data support for controlling a room’s windows and lights.
Microset 4 can be installed. For example, architects may not understand how the placement of windows, doors, air registers, printers, and other equipment impact temperature sensors. Or if a Microset 4 can be installed in an all-glass atrium without regard for the direction of the sun.

Figure 2 Install a closed-cell foam barrier between the Microset 4 backplate and the wall. Figure 3 Completely cover all holes in the Microset 4 backplate to safeguard against air infiltration. Alerton recommends the M-D Light Switch Sealers model #03434 (or equivalent closed-cell foam).

Each MS/TP Microset 4 employs a high-quality EIA–485 transceiver and exerts unit load on the MS/ TP LAN. The maximum number of MS/TP Microset 4 units that can be installed per MS/TP segment depends on the device the MS/TP Microset 4s are being connected to. Refer to the BACtalk System Design Guide, LTBT-TM-SYSDSGN, for more information, or the user documentation of the global controller that provides the MS/TP trunk to determine how many devices it can support.
VLC-1188-S may require UL-864 listed terminating resistors. Shield grounding Ground shield drain wire at single point earth (panel) ground, not Microset 4 ground. Tape off shield drain wire at other end. Tie shield drain wire through at each MS/TP Microset 4.
Operational overview The Microset 4 operates in one of nine modes. In each mode, the Microset 4 displays data and has operational features unique to that mode. Operating modes are listed in Table 5 on page 20 and Table 6 on page 21.
Outside air temperature (OAT) display For OAT read at another unit to display at the Microset 4, the OAT value must be written in BCM DDC to the Present Value of AV-103 in the Microset 4 or the VLC. Set AV-103 to -100 to disable the OAT display.
INSTALLATION & OPERATIONS GUIDE | MICROSET 4 Operating mode specifics This topic provides LCD, button operation, for each of the operating modes. Use Table 5 to compare operating mode features. Use Table 6 on page 21 to determine values to set for enabling each operating mode.

• Lights (enable/disable) • Windows (enable/disable) • Offset (adjust to ±2 °F). Offset is a setting in the Microset 4 that allows an optional temperature bias adjustment to compensate for a difference between the Microset’s temperature measurement and other room thermometers. It allows a service technician to set any value between -2.0 and +2.0 °F, with 0.1 degree resolution, to be added to the actual room temperature measured by the Microset.
