*The most typical models are shown for an application. The controllers are fully programmable, and a controller with sufficient inputs and outputs can be adapted to the application. See Setup Tools (Configuring, Programming, and Designing) on page 10. See also Accessories on page 8.

AIRFLOW MEASUREMENT SYSTEM CONTROLLERS (B-BC)

The KMC Conquest Airflow Measurement System (AFMS) reliably provides accurate outside, return, and supply airflow data for monitoring and control. It delivers accurate, repeatable results on any type of equipment, without the traditionally expected mechanical limitations, performance issues, or ongoing maintenance issues.

The complete system consists of the following components, installed on an AHU, RTU, or unit ventilator:

• 1 controller with airflow measurement programming [BAC-9311AC(E)-AFMS or BAC-5901AC(E)-AFMS]
• 1 inclinometer (included with the controller) mounted on an outside air damper blade
• At least 2 pressure flow pickup tubes (SSS-1000 Series) installed in a pitot array on the supply air duct, or on the fan inlet
• If a BAC-5901AC(E)-AFMS is used, 1 pressure transducer (TPE-14750-21)
• If pressure assist measurements are needed (for units with changing pressure in mixed and/or return air sections), 1 additional pressure transducer (TPE-14750-21), connected to 2 additional pressure flow pickup tubes (SSS-1000 Series), mounted on both sides of the outside air damper.
• 3 temperature sensors (STE-1400 Series) for outside, mixed, and return air
• 1 proportional actuator, mounted on the damper shaft

For more information, see the AFMS documentation.

BAC-190000 SERIES FLEXSTAT ROOM SENSORS/CONTROLLERS (B-AAC)

*NOTE: Applications and options are dependent on the model.

**NOTE: Terminals are provided for six external inputs in addition to the (standard) temperature and up to three additional sensors.

***NOTE: All models are white (“W”) and contain a hardware Real Time Clock (“C”).

BAC-190000 series FlexStats are wall-mounted, touchscreen, combined sensors and controllers. The intelligent integral temperature/humidity/motion/CO2-sensing, wall-mounted thermostats simplify networked zone control for common HVAC equipment, which can be controlled via the on-board or custom libraries of programs. FlexStats have built-in, configurable applications to be used with the following types of equipment:

• BAC-19xx36C models (3 relays, 6 analog/universal outputs):
  • Air Handling Units
  • Unit Ventilators (4-Pipe)
• BAC-19xx63C models (6 relays, 3 analog/universal outputs):
  • Fan Coil Units (2- and 4-Pipe)
  • Heat Pump Units
  • Roof Top Units

These applications can be configured from the touchscreen without using any software. Additional customization and applications beyond the standard library can be created using software. (See Setup Tools (Configuring, Programming, and Designing) on page 10.) Some applications require custom programming in the controller.

The following configuration methods are not available for FlexStats:

• KMC Connect Lite app
• STE-9xxxx NetSensors
• Built-in web pages

For more information, see the BAC-190000 Series product pages and documents. See also Accessories on page 8.

BAC-5900A SERIES BACNET BUILDING CONTROLLERS (B-BC)

*Up to four CAN-5900 series expansion modules can be used with BAC-5900 series controllers to provide up to 74 physical (Room Sensor port and terminal block) inputs and up to 40 outputs.

**HPO-6700 series output override board series provide (triac, NC/NO relays, 4-20 mA, adjustable 0-10 VDC) options for devices that cannot be powered from a standard universal output. These override boards can also be used with the CAN-5901 expansion module.

The general purpose BACnet Building Controller (B-BC) can be used with the following types of equipment:

• Air handling units
• Boilers
• Chilled beams
• Chillers
• Cooling towers
• Fan coil units
• Heat pump units
• Pumps
• Roof top units
• Unit ventilators
• Other HVAC and building automation system equipment*

*NOTE: Requires custom programming in the controller. For more information, see the BAC-5900A Series product page. See also Accessories on page 8.

CAN-5900 SERIES I/O EXPANSION MODULES

*Up to four CAN-5900 series expansion modules can be used with BAC-5900 series controllers to provide up to 74 physical (Room Sensor port and terminal block) inputs and up to 40 outputs.

**HPO-6700 series output override board series provide (triac, NC/NO relays, 4-20 mA, adjustable 0-10 VDC) options for devices that cannot be powered from a standard universal output. The boards can also be used with the CAN-5901.

For applications, see the BAC-5900 series section above. See also the CAN-5900 Series I/O Expansion Modules product pages.

BAC-9000A SERIES VAV CONTROLLER-ACTUATORS (B-BC)

VAV application options for these controllers include:

• Pressure independent or dependent VAV
• Cooling only and with changeover
• Staged, modulated, floating, or time-proportional reheat
• Series or parallel fan control
• Dual duct (with TSP-8003 actuators, see below)
• Supply/exhaust tracking (with TSP-8003 actuators)
• CAV (Constant Air Volume)

For installations with a BACnet building automation system, these easily integrated controllers signal demands for higher static duct pressure, cooler or warmer supply air, and other diagnostics for AHU optimization. For more information, see the BAC-9000A Series product page. See also Accessories on page 8.

TSP-8003 (DUAL DUCT) TRI-STATE ACTUATOR WITH PRESSURE SENSOR

The TSP-8003 is a 40 in-lb. tri-state actuator with a differential air pressure sensor, typically used in Conquest VAV dual-duct applications as a secondary actuator. The TSP-8003 connects directly to a BAC-901 VAV controller-actuator for easy installation. Application options include:

• Dual duct VAV or CAV
• Bypass damper*
• Economizer damper*
• Building pressure control damper*
• Supply/exhaust tracking*

*NOTE: Requires custom programming in the controller.

For more information, see the TSP-8003 product page.

BAC-9300A SERIES UNITARY CONTROLLERS (B-BC)

These controllers can be used with the following equipment:

• Air handling units
• CAV or VAV with external actuator
• Chilled beams*
• Fan coil units
• Heat pump units
• Roof top units
• Unit ventilators

For more information, see the BAC-9300A Series product page. See also Accessories on page 8.

*NOTE: Requires custom programming in the controller.

STE-9000 SERIES NETSENSORS (DIGITAL ROOM SENSORS)

*All units have a temperature sensor (standard). See above for additional sensor options.

**A W at the end of the model number indicates a white case. To order the sensor with light almond color (for models with a display only) instead of white, drop the W on the end of the model number (e.g., STE-9001W is white and STE-9001 is light almond).

KMC Conquest™ STE-9000 series NetSensors are wall-mounted digital space temperature sensors designed for use with KMC BAC-5900/9000/9300 series controllers. Key features include the following:

• Up to four sensors in a single package minimizes labor, wiring, and wall space, while optional humidity, motion, and CO2 sensors allow expanded energy-efficient control of humidity, temperature setback, lighting, and ventilation
• A user-friendly three-button integrated operator interface (on models with a display, i.e. non-NDL models) provides system and IAQ monitoring and adjusting for occupants.
• It installs permanently as a room sensor or (for models with a display) temporarily as a service tool; as a service tool, it commissions controllers without software, configures communication and application settings, and balances VAV air flow
• An HPO-9001 NetSensor® distribution module allows up to eight STE-9000 series NetSensors to be linked to one controller or allows one STE-6010/6014/6017 analog temperature sensor to be connected with up to seven NetSensors

For more information, see the STE-9000 Series product page.

NOTE: STE-6010/6014/6017 analog temperature sensors can be connected to a controller in the place of an STE-9001W after the connected controller is configured. See Accessories on page 8.
