Introduction
Program Features
The network interface controller is a device that
acts as a communication link between the BMS
(Building Management System) and the unit. The
network interface controller will transform the
communication into an action within the unit and
will provide monitoring status of various functions
and temperatures. The controller has the ability to
communicate with a BMS through protocols such
as LonWorks®, BACnet® MSTP, BACnet® IP or
Modbus. See Points List at end of document for a
complete list of BMS points.

Input/Output Points
Standard Input/Output points are Supply Air Temp, Outside Air Temp and Fan Proving Status. The following are
optional I/O points. See Network Interface unit diagram to see job specific I/O.
Input Points (Max 6)Output Points Digital (Max 5)Output Points Analog (Max 3)

Outdoor Air After Wheel TempOccupied UnoccupiedExhaust VFD
The network interface controller will monitor the unit
conditions for alarm conditions. Upon detecting an
alarm, the controller will record the alarm description,
time, date and available temperatures for user review.
An optional digital output is available for remote
alarm indication. Alarms are also communicated via
BMS.
•Temperature Sensor Alarm: Network interface
controller will send an alarm in the case of a failed
air temperature sensor.
•Supply Air Low Limit: If the supply air temperature
drops below the supply air low limit (35°F), the
network interface controller can do one of the
following based on user setup.
- Alarm Only: Sends alarm via BMS.
- Alarm and Open NO3: Sends an alarm and turns
the unit run command off, even if BMS run
command is active.
- Disable: Disables the supply air low limit
function.
Display Use
The network interface controller is located in the unit
control panel. The face of the controller has six keys,
allowing the user to view unit conditions and alter
parameters. The network interface controller is preprogrammed with easy-to-use menus.
Remote Display Panel (Optional)
A display panel allows for remote monitoring and
adjustment of parameters, allowing ease of control
access without going outdoors.
A remote mounted display is also available, which
connects via the J4 port. A six-wire patch cable is
needed.

If the unit supply air temperature falls below Supply Air Low Limit for a period of
Alarm Delay, the unit will do one of the following based on the Alarm Function.
• Alarm Only: Sends alarm via BMS.
• Alarm and Open NO3: Sends an alarm and opens NO3 (Unit Start/Stop
command) even if the BMS start/stop command is active.
• Disable: Disables the supply air low limit function.
The purpose of the supply low limit is to protect the building and contents from
cold supply air. It is NOT designed to protect the air handling unit.
If the unit does not have cold or hot water coils, it should not need additional
protection from freezing. If the unit does have cold or hot water coils, field
provided coil freeze protection may be necessary.
