AppStat for Heat Pump Units

Installation Guide

BAC-4000 Series BACnet Controllers

Applicable models

This installation sheet applies to AppStat controllers
for heat pump units. The model numbers for these
models end with "0003". Additional information for
the controllers can be found in the document

Installation, Operation and Application Guide for the
AppStat which is available on the KMC partners web

site.

Illustration 1—Heat Pump models

Planning for motion sensing

For models with a motion sensor mount the AppStat
on a wall that will have an unobstructed view of the
typical traffic in the coverage area. When choosing a
location, do not install the sensor in the following
areas.

Behind curtains or other obstructions

In locations that will expose it to sunlight or heat
sources

Near a heating or cooling inlet or outlet.

The effective detection range is approximately 10
meters or 33 feet. Factors that may reduce the range
include:

The difference between the surface temperature
of the object and the background temperature of
the room is too small.

Object movement in a direct line toward the
sensor.

Very slow or very fast object movement.

Obstructions as shown in the illustration Typical

motion sensing coverage area on page 1.

False detections may be triggered by:

The temperature inside the detection range
suddenly changes because of the entry of cold or
warm air from an air-conditioning or heating
unit.

The sensor being directly exposed to sunlight, an
incandescent light, or other source of far-infrared
rays.

Small animal movement.

Mounting the AppStat

For the most accurate performance, install the
AppStat on an inside wall where it can sense the
average room temperature. Avoid locations with
direct sunlight, heat sources, windows, air vents,
and air circulation or obstructions such as curtains,
furniture, etc.

Illustration 2—Typical motion sensing coverage area

AppStat for Heat Pump Units 1

The AppStat must not be:

Mounted on an exterior wall.

Mounted on or near an object with large a
thermal mass such as a concrete block wall.

Blocked from normal air circulation by
obstructions.

Exposed to heat sources such as lights,
computers, copiers, or coffee makers, or to direct
sunlight at any time of the day.

Exposed to drafts from windows, diffusers, or
returns.

For models with motion sensing, see the topic,

Planning for motion sensing.

Rough-in preparation

Complete rough-in wiring at each location before
mounting an AppStat. This includes the following
steps.

Install the supplied mounting base directly to a
wall, a vertical electrical box, or a box with a wall
plate kit.

Routing the connecting cable or cables from the
AppStat to the equipment it is controlling.

If required, install an appropriate wall plate kit.

Block leaks and airflow from conduits with
plumber’s putty or similar material.

If replacing an existing thermostat, label existing
wires for reference when removing the existing
thermostat.

mounting base.

4.

Position the base with the embossed UP toward
the ceiling and fasten it directly to a vertical 2x4
inch electrical box. For horizontal boxes or 4x4
applications, use a wall plate kit. See Installation

accessories on page 4 for part numbers.

5.

Connect the wires for the AppStat to the
terminals in the mounting base.

6.

Place the top of the sensor over the top of the
mounting base and swing it down over the Allen
screw bracket. Be careful not to pinch any wiring.

7.

Turn the Allen screw counterclockwise until it
backs out of the mounting base and engages the
case.

To prevent mounting screw heads from
touching the circuit board in the
controller, use only the mounting
screws supplied by KMC Controls.
Using screws other than the type
supplied may damage the AppStat.

Installing the AppStat

To install the controller on a mounting base, do the
following:

1.

Turn the Allen screw in the base of the sensor
clockwise until it clears the case.

2.

Swing the AppStat away from the mounting base
to remove it.

3.

specific functions and do not require set up in the
field. Not all inputs are required for every model or
application.

instructions supplied with the sensor for
installation.

When a remote space temperature input is
connected to the AppStat, the remote temperature is
used instead of the internal temperature sensor.

Fan status switch (optional)

Connect a Normally Closed Fan Status switch to the
Discharge Air Temperature (DAT) input and ground
(GND) terminals. The input includes the internal
pull-up resistor. A CSE-1102 differential pressure
switch is suitable for this application. Follow the
instructions supplied with the switch for
installation.

Outdoor air temperature sensor

Connect a 10kΩ, Type III thermistor temperature
probe to the outdoor air temperature (OAT) input.
The input includes the internal pull-up resistor. An
STE-1451 sensor is suitable for this application.
Follow the instructions supplied with the sensor for
installation.

Discharge air temperature

Connect a 10kΩ, Type III thermistor temperature
probe to the discharge air temperature (DAT) input.
The input includes the internal pull-up resistor. An
STE-1405 sensor is suitable for this application.
Follow the instructions supplied with the sensor for
installation.

Illustration 5—HPU output terminals

Connecting power

The AppStat requires an external, 24 volt, AC power
source. Use the following guidelines when choosing
and wiring transformers.

Use only a Class-2 transformer of the
appropriate size to supply power.

KMC Controls recommends powering the
AppStat from a dedicated controls transformer.

Connect the transformer’s neutral lead to the
COM terminal.

Connect the AC phase lead to the 24VAC
terminal.

Power is applied to the controller when the
transformer is powered.

See Installation accessories on page 4 for a list of
transformers available from KMC Controls, Inc.

Illustration 6—Wiring for AppStat power

Connecting outputs

The AppStat outputs are model dependent and are
configured for specific applications.

No field programming or set up is required or
possible.

Depending on model and application, the
AppStat outputs are designed for either 24
voltAC or 0-10 voltDC loads.

The outputs may represent analog or digital
signals.
