  • Page 4: General Information

    General Information The BACnet MS/TP / Modbus RTU Averaging Series sensor is designed for use with electronic controllers in commercial heating and cooling building management systems. The ACI BACnet MS/TP / Modbus RTU Averaging Series sensor can be ordered to monitor the average temperature in commercial HVAC ductwork and provides a better average temperature of the air inside the duct compared to a single point duct sensor.

  • Page 6: Mounting Instructions

    1.2. Mounting Instructions For optimal temperature measurement, follow these tips: • Mount coil horizontal for vertical stratification. • Mount coil vertical for horizontal stratification. • The sensor must be spread evenly over the full duct. • The entire length of the sensor coil must be installed completely inside the duct.

Each unit includes nylon wire ties and mounts for mounting. Optional copper capillary (ACI Item #130525) or universal plastic mounting clips (ACI Item #145421) can be ordered.

    set by the controller. This product has auto-baud for ease of network configuration but setting the baud rate using the DIP switches is recommended. Note Auto-baud feature does not function when Modbus is the selected protocol. Baud Rate Selection By default, BACnet Protocol and Auto-Baud is factory set. If the sensor is field adjusted for Modbus RTU, the baud rate should be selected at this time to match the Master configuration.
  • Page 10: Eol Termination Resistance Selection

    EOL Termination Resistance Selection RS-485 requires that the last device in a chain have a termination resistor. This is controlled using a jumper in the EN (enabled) position marked on Figure 6. When the jumper is set to EN (enabled), a resistance is added in parallel to the data line.
  • Page 11: Address Selection

    Address Selection Switches 1-7 are used to set the BACnet and Modbus addressing. Refer to Table 3 for switch settings. Each device in a network branch must have a unique address. The value of each position is printed on the board. By default, the address is (0). Note (0) cannot be used if Modbus RTU protocol is selected and will require a unique address.
  • Page 12: Device Description

    8.5. Device Description By default, the device description is optional but is intended to allow for further information about the device or its environment. The device location can be a character string up to 64 characters in length. 8.6. Temperature Units Configuration For temperature, the units of measure can be configured using BACnet.
