Underfloor ModUflex Controller Product overview Underfloor Systems Control Zones ConStAnt AIr VolUMe - CoolInG onlY INTERIOR ZONES Constant Air Volume - Cooling Only Typically, interior zones have relatively stable loads hence constant volume supply is often employed. A typical interior zone consists of contant volume or constant pressure turbulent floor twist outlets installed in a large, common plenum space.
Underfloor ModUflex Controller PRODUCT OVERVIEW General description The Third Generation Underfloor ModuFlex Controller (UMC3) is a direct digital controller for pressurized underfloor plenum cooling zones. It can control up to 30 underfloor damper/diffusers – 12 of which can be the LFGH with integrated reheat. Auxiliary inputs and outputs add to the UMC3’s flexibility.
ModuFlex cooling controller. It is typically interfaced • Modular connections to dampers – Use RJ-12 cables with one of four Price Thermostats to determine room load and included with dampers to connect underfloor dampers to allow for setup functions. With a variety of output configurations, UMC3.
B. Daisy chain up to 6 dampers per output – no more C. Do not connect standard dampers (with RJ-12 plug) to LFGH outputs (which use RJ-45 plug) D. LFGH dampers (up to 12) count towards the maximum of 30 dampers per controller Price flow response Chart Cooling Cooling Heating Heating...

Underfloor ModUflex Controller NETWORKING & SETUP BACnet networking and Setup Setting the MAC Address: MAC address must be UNIQUE on an MS/TP network segment within building. An installer setting up an MS/TP segment with up to 30 devices must ensure each device has a UNIQUE MAC Address (Range 1-99). The MAC Address is set with DIP switches on the BACnet Module.
Underfloor ModUflex Controller NETWORKING & SETUP Setting the device Instance Device Instance: A Device Instance number identifies a device within an entire building, therefore giving it a unique number or Address, much like a telephone ext. number. A building can have one telephone number, but all the extensions have a unique number to identify them.
The Price USB LINKER is the interface that can be used with any of the Price Thermostat for the UMCB. The LINKER connects to a laptop (not supplied) via a USB A to B cable supplied by Price, and then connects to the service jack of the thermostat via an RJ-12 cable supplied by Price.
Underfloor ModUflex Controller MAINTENANCE troubleshooting The following information is provided in the event that the UMC3 does not appear to function properly after installation. Fault Solution Controller appears to be not Check thermostat first for either green indication light, or LCD display. If either of these does not appear, then check the controller for power (green blinking light).
Fault Solution BACnet Communication Errors Price does not use EOL or termination on their devices. Terminating a device is almost never required at the low baud rate of MS/TP devices. In fact terminating can create more problems than it solves.
