Humans exhale Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) as well
as CO
therefore it is as good an indicator of space occupancy as a CO
sensor.
The BAPI Sensor is different from other VOC sensors because
it has been optimized for Demand Controlled Ventilation (DCV).
Using a calibration algorithm, the sensor value is converted to
an output with a high correlation to a CO
use ASHRAE’s occupancy-based VRP schedule to ventilate.
(More information on this correlated output is available on our
website at www.bapihvac.com)
The sensor also picks up VOCs from other sources such as
building materials, perfumes, colognes and furniture off-gassing.
Using this sensor to ventilate is a way of achieving true indoor
air quality and not just CO
The unit is available as a VOC sensor alone or in combination
with temperature and humidity. The optional display alternates
between the measured values and is eld adjustable between
°F and °C. An optional three color LED indicates a “VOC Level”
of Good, Fair or Poor.
. The BAPI sensor is able to measure these VOCs,

Note: The VOC contaminant output (CO2/VOC terminal on the circuit card) is scaled for 0 to 2,000ppm equivalent CO2
for use in an ASHRAE Standard 62.1 Demand Control Ventilation algorithm. The display shows contamination to an
equivalent 5,000ppm CO2. This allows additional troubleshooting for a building manager to determine if there is a very
large VOC contamination when the transmitted output is at its maximum value

VOC Room Sensor in the BAPI-Stat 3 Enclosure with
Common Ground Conguration
Installation and Operating Instructions
27018_ins_voc_room
Mounting
Mounting hardware is provided for both junction box and drywall
installation (junction box installation shown).
Note: Screw the 1/16” Allen lock-down screw into the base to open the
case. There is less chance of losing the screw this way. Back out the
lock-down screw to secure the cover.
Junction Box
1. Pull the wire through the wall and out of the junction box, leaving
about six inches free.
2. Pull the wire through the hole in the base plate.
3. Secure the plate to the box using the #6-32 x 5/8 inch mounting
screws provided.
4. Terminate the unit according to the guidelines in the Termination
section. (page 3)
5. Mold the foam on the unit’s base to the wire bundle to prevent
drafts. (see note below)
6. Attach Cover by latching it to the top of the base, rotating the cover
down and snapping it into place.
7. Secure the cover by backing out the lock-down screw using a
1/16” Allen wrench until it is ush with the bottom of the cover.
Fig 2: Mounting to a Junction Box
Drywall Mounting
1. Place the base plate against the wall where you want to mount the sensor.
2. Using a pencil, mark out the two mounting holes and the area where the wires will come through the wall.
3. Drill two 3/16” holes in the center of each marked mounting hole, DO NOT punch the holes or the drywall
anchors will not hold. Insert a drywall anchor into each hole.
4. Drill one 1/2” hole in the middle of the marked wiring area.
5. Pull the wire through the wall and out of the 1/2” hole, leaving about six inches free.
6. Pull the wire through the hole in the base plate.
7. Secure the base to the drywall anchors using the #6 x 1 inch mounting screws provided.
8. Terminate the unit according to the guidelines in the Termination section. (page 3)
9. Mold the foam on the unit’s base to the wire bundle to prevent drafts. (see note below)
10. Attach cover by latching it to the top of the base, rotating the cover down and snapping it into place.
11. Secure the cover by backing out the lock-down screw using a 1/16” Allen wrench until it is ush with the bottom
of the cover.

NOTE: In any wall-mount application, the wall temperature and the temperature of the air within the wall cavity
can cause erroneous readings. The mixing of room air and air from within the wall cavity can lead to condensation,
erroneous readings and sensor failure. To prevent these conditions, BAPI recommends sealing the conduit leading
to the junction box, lling the junction box with berglass insulation or sealing the wall cavity.

Termination
BAPI recommends using twisted pair of at least 22AWG and sealant lled connectors for all wire connections.
Larger gauge wire may be required for long runs. All wiring must comply with the National Electric Code (NEC) and
local codes.
Do NOT run this device’s wiring in the same conduit as AC power wiring of NEC class 1, NEC class 2, NEC class 3
or with wiring used to supply highly inductive loads such as motors, contactors and relays. BAPI’s tests show that
uctuating and inaccurate signal levels are possible when AC power wiring is present in the same conduit as the
signal lines. If you are experiencing any of these difculties, please contact your BAPI representative.
BAPI recommends wiring the product with power disconnected. Proper supply voltage, polarity and
wiring connections are important to a successful installation. Not observing these recommendations may
damage the product and void the warranty.
