FEATURES AND SPECIFICATIONS
MODINE BMS BOARD FOR GAS-FIRED UNIT
HEATERS
The Modine Building Management System (BMS) Board
installed in this unit provides an RS485 interface between the
unit heater and existing building networks that employ a BACnet
or Modbus protocol. The board works in conjunction with the
unit's ignition control module to manage and report the function
of the heater. A BMS network connection is not required
to operate the heater, but allows for expanded control and
monitoring ability.
FEATURES
The BMS Board is capable of the following features:
Energy Saver Function
The BMS Board is wired to a 10K NTC Type III inlet air sensor
that provides feedback of the air temperature at the unit's
installed height. When the unit is operating in this mode, the unit
will turn on the fan only when a call for heat is received, using
the warmer air at the unit to destratisfy the building space before
using the valve to further heat the space.
Input Monitoring
The BMS board receives statuses from the components on the
unit heater to make sure that operation of the unit is normal,
and communicates status over the network. If the board detects
statuses that indicate an issue with normal operation, alarm
codes will be sent over the network. In addition, the board's
"ALM" LED will illuminate on the BMS board.
Temperature Control Flexibility
The BMS board is designed to take room air feedback from a
traditional low voltage mechanical/programmable thermostat or
a 10K NTC Type III sensor (Modine FP48335).
Enhanced BMS Control
By employing BMS control over the provided RS485 connection,
the unit is capable of receiving commands such as Supervisor
On-Off functions, defining summer/winter functionality, and
changing space setpoints. The board will also send statuses for
components such as the fan and gas valve, and communicate
alarms over the network.

CONFIGURING BOARD OPERATION
During unit installation, verify the BMS board is set up to operate
correctly with the room air temperature feedback method. Use
SW4.7 dipswitch to select desired operation.
