Decora Style Room Unit - BA/RuPD
Overview and Identication
The Decora Style Room Unit ts inside a Decora Style Wall Plate.
It features measurement and display of local temperature with
optional pushbutton setpoint adjustment.
The room temperature is shown on an easy-to-read LCD display
in either °F or °C (eld selectable via front pushbuttons for setpoint
models). The display can also be congured to show only the
setpoint.
Besides the standard wall plate cover, the unit is also available
with two styles of decorative wall plate covers: the “Curved” style
or “Dentil” style.
The sensor, selected at time of order, can be any BAPI passive
sensor. The sensor and setpoint outputs can be congured for
“common ground” or “differential” controller inputs, and the setpoint
is available as a resistance or a 0 to 5V output. The temperature
display can be offset in the eld as needed.

Mounting
BAPI recommends that the Decora Style Room Unit only be installed
into a 2 X4 inch electrical box. Insulate the Decora Style Room Unit from
conduit drafts by lling the junction box with berglass or polyester ll
insulation. Do not pack the material into the junction box; leave it loose.
1. Pull the wire through the wall and out of the junction box,
leaving about six inches free.
2. Place the insulation into the junction box.
3. Terminate the unit according to the guidelines in
Termination on page 2.
4. Secure the sensor to the junction box using the #6-32 x 1/2 inch
mounting screws provided.
5. Secure the Decora trim plate to the sensor with the provided screws.

Note: Some plastic junction boxes do not have openings large enough to accept the Decora style room unit. Check
your junction boxes for proper t before installing.

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.

Front Panel Adjustments
Setpoint Adjustment - The Decora Style Unit normally displays the temperature. To see the
current setpoint, press and release either “up” or “down” button. A small square will appear in
the lower left of the display and the setpoint will be shown. Press the “up” or “down” button to
change the setpoint. After about 10 seconds, the display will switch back to the temperature
(with the new setpoint stored). The setpoint will hold through power outages.
Temperature Offset - The temperature display may be offset to match the temperature
measured by the controller. Press both “up” and “down” buttons for 2 seconds. A small
square will appear in the lower left of the display and a single digit will display. Press the “up”
or “down” button to set the temperature display offset by ±10°. After about 10 seconds, the
display will switch back to the temperature (with the new offset stored). The offset will hold
through power outages.
Display Options - The unit’s display may be changed from room temperature Fahrenheit
(F), room temperature Celsius (C), Setpoint Only Fahrenheit (SF) or Setpoint Only Celsius
(SC). Press in both “up” and “down” buttons for 4 seconds. A small square will appear in the
lower left of the display and “F”, “C”, “SF” or “SC” will display. Press the “up” or “down” button
to toggle between the modes. After about 10 seconds, the unit will leave the program mode
and switch to the display that you’ve selected. The display selection will hold through power
outages.
