Fig. 2: Mounting hardware is provided for
both junction box and drywall installation
(Junction box installation shown).
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 with berglass insulation.

Termination
BAPI recommends using twisted pair of at least 22 AWG. 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.
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 will void the warranty.
Terminal Notes: (Related to Table 1)
V+: Power. See Power Supply specications.
GND: Ground/Common for V+, OUT1, OUT2, OUT3, OUT4, and
TEMP- terminals when congured as Common Ground (default)
OUT1: Temperature, Temperature Setpoint, or Humidity Setpoint with
voltage or 4 to 20mA output.
OUT2: Humidity, Temperature Setpoint, or Humidity Setpoint with
voltage or 4 to 20mA output.
OUT3/OUT4: Temperature Setpoint or Humidity Setpoint with voltage
or resistive output. Resistive output can be wired as Differential
Ground. Optional override available.

Used as input for external sensor option (-ES). External sensor must
be a 10K-2 thermistor purchased separately (max wire length of 25ft).
A humidity output or resistive temperature sensor are not allowed in
this conguration.
EXT OVR: Wiring of the J6 External Override (EXT OVR) terminals is
not covered in this section. It is described in the “Override Display Icon
Activation” section on page 4.
See product label for conguration and termination information.
All BAPI-Stat “Quantum Prime” sensors come with a display. Depending on the options selected, the sensor will have
one of three button congurations:
• No buttons;
• Setpoint & Override buttons (3 buttons);
• Setpoint, Cycle and Override (4 buttons) as shown in Figure 5.
Setpoint Buttons:
These buttons are used to change the setpoint. If your sensor has been ordered with setpoint adjustment for
both temperature and humidity, then the setpoint value that changes is the one that is showing in the major
display when the setpoint button is pressed. The major display digits will ash to indicate that the setpoint is
being changed.
Cycle Button:
This button is used to switch the temperature and humidity values between the major and minor display.
Override Button:
This button sends a signal to the controller to place the sensor location into an occupied status. The override
icon will appear in the display according to the wiring options described in the next section “Override Display
Icon Activation.”
Temperature Display:
Temperature can be displayed in Fahrenheit or Celsius. It is eld adjustable via the “F/C” switch on DIP Switch SW5 as
described in the “Optional Technician Adjustments” section on page 5.
When the override button is pushed, a resistance of less than 100 ohms appears for a few seconds across the OUT3,
OUT4 or TEMP+/TEMP- terminals
override icon on the LCD will be lit for 10 seconds and then go blank.
If you would like the override icon to continue to display the “Occupied” or “Unoccupied” status of the room, then a
conrmation signal of 5 VDC across the 5VDC and COMMON terminals of J6, or 24 VDC/VAC across the 24VDC/VAC
and COMMON terminals of J6 is required. When the conrmation signal is received, both the outline and center of the
override icon will be lled in or solid, indicating that the room is in an occupied state (Fig 6).
When the conrmation signal is removed, the center portion of the override icon will go out
but the outline will remain lit, indicating that the room is in an unoccupied state. See the
Wiring Examples below (Figs 7 & 8) for more info on adding the conrmation signal.
If power to the sensor is removed, the override icon will be blank until the rst conrmation
signal is received as described above.
Note: The input signals on the terminals of J6 are optically isolated from the rest of the
device’s circuitry.

Installation & Operating Instructions
rev. 03/23/2041148_ins_quantum_prime_hum
POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS:
- Verify that the input is set up correctly in the controller’s and building automation software.
- Check for proper power at the sensor as described in the specications below.
- Check wiring for proper termination and for corrosion at either the controller or the sensor.
Clean off the corrosion, re-strip the interconnecting wire and reapply the connection. In
extreme cases, replace the controller, interconnecting wire and/or sensor.
- Check for a wiring problem between the unit and the controller. Label the terminals at
the sensor end and the controller end. Disconnect the interconnecting wires at both
ends and measure the resistance from wire-to-wire with a multimeter. The meter should
read greater than 10 Meg-ohms, open or OL depending on the meter you have. Short
the interconnecting wires together at one end. Go to the other end and measure the
resistance from wire-to-wire with a multimeter. The meter should read less than 10 ohms
(22 gauge or larger, 250 feet or less). If either test fails, replace the wire.
Passive temperature
sensor reading
is incorrect at the
controller
- Measure the physical temperature at the sensor’s location using an accurate temperature
standard. Disconnect the temperature sensor wires at the TEMP+ and TEMP- terminals
and measure the temperature sensor’s resistance across the terminals with an ohmmeter.
Compare the temperature sensor’s resistance to the appropriate temperature sensor table
on the BAPI website. If the measured resistance is different from the temperature table
by more than 5% call BAPI technical support. Find BAPI’s website at www.bapihvac.com;
click on “Resource Library” and “Sensor Specs” then click on the type of sensor you have.
Don’t forget to reconnect the wires.
- If the unit has a Test and Balance switch, make sure it is in the correct position.
