This BASstat is BACnet compliant and BTL listed to ensure seamless integration into a BACnet network, using BACnet/MSTP over 2-wire RS-485, and can be routed to BACnet/IP clients using a Contemporary Controls BASrouter (BASRT-B). A large and easy to read LCD display indicates setpoint, space temperature and current mode of operation using graphical icons.
Features and Benefits • Stand-alone thermostat algorithm or fully BACnet network-controllable • BTL listed with B-ASC device profile for integration into BACnet networks • 24VAC (+/-10%) power input • BACnet MS/TP with baud rate selections up to 76.8kbps • Suitable for 4-pipe modulating heat/cool control applications with manual or automatic changeover NOTE: 2-pipe heat/cool applications and floating-type valve actuators are not supported by this device •...

3 Installation The BASstat 421C-B2 is intended for surface-mount installation on an interior wall, away from direct sunlight or direct air movement. The display (top half) can be removed from its base by loosening the small Philips screw at the bottom of the display. Once the display is removed from the base, the base can be mounted onto the wall with appropriate fasteners.
recommended. AC power sources that power several half-wave devices have a common secondary connection called COMMON, LO, or GROUND. Connect the HOT side of the secondary to the 24 VAC high side input on the BASstat and the LO side to 24 VAC common. WARNING: Devices powered from a common AC source could be damaged if a mix of half- wave and full-wave rectified devices are both present.
4 Operation User Mode User-side control is accomplished with six buttons – MODE (Heat, Cool, or Ventilate), FAN (Auto or On), UP, DOWN, SET, and POWER. There are also options to lock the panel buttons to limit user access if so required. A large LCD display indicates setpoint, space temperature, occupancy status, and current mode of operation using graphical icons.

User Mode Flow Chart Control Type Control Type, System Mode and Algorithm Configuration System modes available to the user are dependent on control type. 4-Pipe Cooling or Heating with Auto Changeover – This the default control type in this thermostat. Mostly used for standalone operation. The thermostat will switch between Cool and Heat modes automatically.

supervisor “1” (add decimal=512). Cool Only and Heat Only modes (nullified/disabled in firmware) are control types listed in the BACnet object and Engineering Menu object but are not available for use. Control type is only configurable by the installer using Engineering Mode Menu or BACnet supervisor.

Floating Deadband The Heat and Cool temperature setpoints could be “attached” together. This • means that as one setpoint is adjusted and “hits” against the deadband region, it will “push” the deadband region and the other setpoint along the temperature setpoint axis to allow for adjustment while maintaining the configured deadband.
Engineering Mode Menu Thermostat configuration can be performed using the engineering menu or by controlling BACnet objects using a BACnet client tool such as Contemporary Controls free BACnet Discovery Tool (BDT). It is highly suggested that engineering mode be operated by trained installers only, because it is related to system parameters that will affect the control results.
