General Information The BACnet Flow Controller (BFC) is a DDC fan controller designed specifically for controlling flow through Krown Fan Filter Units with EC motor technology. The BFC controls an EC motor through a local setpoint which is adjustable using a push button interface on the BFC, by an analog BAS input voltage, or over BACnet.
Initial Startup When the BFC controller is powered up with 24VAC it will display the following information. KEYSTONE Start–up screen ELECTRONICS Displays firmware version VERSION CURR Displays the current static pressure in in. w.g. PRESSURE Displays ECM setpoint in % motor speed...

9600 baud (all BACnet devices must at least support this speed) – slowest BAUD RATE 76800 19200 baud 38400 baud 76800 baud (default baud rate for Keystone products) - fastest RS-485 TERM, Enable and disable RS-485 termination on MS/TP segment. DISABLED RESTORE BACNET Reset MAC Address, Device Instance, and BAUD rate to default values.
Filter Calibration To properly track filter loading, the BFC must be calibrated with the clean filter pressure. Before proceeding, ensure the unit is operating at the desired airflow. Any changes to the airflow will change the unit pressure and therefore require the filter status to be reset.

Via BACnet The steps below require the BFC to be configured and set up on a BACnet front-end system. For further information on BFC BACnet setup, see Networking & Setup section. Step 1: Ensure that BACnet point AV2 – Filter Runtime is being pulled in (see table below). Step 2: Write a value of 0 to AV2 –...
BACnet Service Menu section of this manual. Tech Tip: The BACnet MS/TP to IP Router supplied by Keystone has built in termination and it is enabled by default (since the router is typically the beginning of the entire MS/TP network). Now you only have to go and find/ terminate that last device.
Use Keystone supplied CAT-5 cables for BACnet Wiring whenever possible. If not possible to use Keystone supplied cables, follow these wire specifications. Network Wire Specifications PIN 1 For the BACnet MS/TP network specific wire is required. PIN 2 Do not use standard power or “thermostat” wire. This...
EVERY device on the network must run at the same 76800 speed. Keystone controllers are defaulted to a baud rate of 76800, but can be changed to 38400, 19200, or 9600. For a network segment with all Keystone controllers, it’s recommended that the baud rate be left at 76800.
BACnet Networking and Setup Setting the MAC Address: MAC (media access control) must be UNIQUE on an MS/TP network segment within building. An installer setting up an MS/ TP segment must ensure each device has a UNIQUE MAC Address (Range 1-99). The MAC Address is set through the LCD thermostat or LCD setup tool.
Setting the Device Instance (Coupled MAC and DI) 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.
Setting the Device Instance (De-coupled MAC and DI) 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.
Network Layout The BFC can be connected over BACnet MS/TP and added to an existing BAS front end system. Keystone also offers its own mini front-end system known as Krown-CS which acts as a graphics package. The Keystone WEB Server allows the user to view variables such as filter status, CFM, etc.

Location The Front-End components should be mounted in an accessible location close to a network connection. Keystone suggests mounting these components in the network or server room. The WEB-SERVER, IP-RTR, BAC-RTR, and IP-SWITCH (if applicable) should all be mounted together.
DIN Rail Mounting Back view of WEB-SERVER Use the included DIN rail to securely mount the Front-End components. A. Using 3 screws (by others) mount the DIN rail horizontally to a secure, accessible surface. B. Hang the WEB-SERVER onto the DIN rail using the TOP white clips.
BAS Input Signal The BAS input signal overrides the local setpoint using a remote 0 – 10VDC signal. If the BAS signal drops below 1VDC local control (via the push buttons) is restored. BAS Voltage Response Notes 0-1 VDC Local control mode using push buttons Local setpoint can be adjusted from 0 –...
Analog RPM Feedback A two wire connection supplies an analog (0-10 VDC) signal that is directly proportional to the MOTOR 1 RPM. The range is 0 – 2500 RPM and it will output a proportional 0 – 10 VDC signal. If a dual blower system is used, only the RPM of motor 1 can be read.
Wiring and Cables The ECM speed controller requires 24 VAC power from a transformer and outputs control signals to the ECM motor on dual MTA-100 jacks. Either jack or both jacks can be used (for dual fan systems). The control cable (with RED connector) must be plugged into the circuit board correctly. (See Figure 2) Figure 2 - ECM Standard Speed Controller With Control Cable Plugged Into MTR1 MTR1 JACK ECM CONTROL CABLE...
Keep this consistency throughout the network. Option #2 Keystone 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.
