Product Usage Instructions

Setup Choices using STE-9000 Series Digital Sensor

  1. Install the STE-9000 series digital sensor permanently as the
    room sensor or use it temporarily as a technician’s service
    tool.
  2. Access simple menu-driven setup choices on the controller using
    the sensor.

Quick Configuration using NFC

  1. Connect a smart phone, tablet, or computer with the KMC Connect
    LiteTM app to the controller via NFC while the controller is
    unpowered.

Configuration via Web Browser

  1. For Ethernet-enabled models, configure the controller by
    connecting an HTML5-compatible web browser to the built-in
    configuration web pages.

Custom Programming with KMC ConnectTM Software

  1. Customize and program the controllers using KMC ConnectTM
    software and KMC ConvergeTM module for Niagara Workbench.

Creating Custom User-Interface

  1. Use KMC Converge and TotalControlTM software to create custom
    graphical web pages hosted on a remote web server for a custom
    user-interface for the controllers.

FAQ

What types of unitary equipment can the BAC-9300A Series
controllers be used with?

The controllers can be used with RTU, HPU, FCU, AHU, and
ventilator units. Some applications may require custom
programming.

How can I configure the controllers without power?

You can use NFC (Near Field Communication) from a smart device
with the KMC Connect LiteTM app to configure the controller even
when it is unpowered.

What options are available for custom programming of the
controllers?

The controllers are fully programmable, and custom configuration
and programming can be done using KMC ConnectTM software and KMC
ConvergeTM module for Niagara Workbench.

Can I create a custom user interface for the controllers?

Building Controllers to be powerful edge devices for the modern

smart building ecosystem.

The factory-supplied programming covers common unitary applications. The controllers feature simple, menu-driven setup choices using an STE-9000 series digital sensor, which can be installed permanently as the room sensor or used temporarily as a technician’s service tool.

Alternately, quick configuration of controller properties can be done using NFC (Near Field Communication) from a smart phone, tablet, or computer (using the KMC Connect LiteTM app) while the controller is unpowered.

The Ethernet-enabled BAC-93x1ACE models can also be configured by connecting an HTML5-compatible web browser to the built-in configuration web pages.
To meet the most demanding building automation custom requirements, these controllers are also fully programmable. Custom configuration and programming, with wizards for application programming selection/configuration, are enabled by KMC ConnectTM software and the KMC ConvergeTM module for Niagara Workbench.
KMC Converge and TotalControlTM software additionally provide the capability of creating custom graphical web pages (hosted on a remote web server) to use as a custom user-interface for the controllers.
