STE-6000 Series Overview
These compact, stylish, and economical room
temperature sensors are designed for use in KMC
Digital controllers or other building automation
systems. They incorporate a 10,000 ohm (@ 77°
F) thermistor for the sensing element, providing
precise, stable temperature sensing. The low prole
and durable thermostat-style cover are visually
appealing. These sensors may be surface mounted on
a hollow wall or to a 2 x 4 in. electrical box.
The STE-6000 Series is specically designed to
complement the KMC Digital controllers.
An STE-6010/6011 contains a thermistor only.
An STE-6014/6017/6019/6018/6020 includes a rotary setpoint dial (available in degrees F or C).
An STE-6013/6015/6017/6019/6018/6020 allows selection of an override condition by pushing the buon
on the front. A green status LED (not on the STE-
6017/6019) illuminates according to the user-dened
controller conguration (e.g., during setback/setup
or during normal/override modes).
An STE-6012/6016 includes an LCD display for the
room temperature and setpoint. The temperature
display can be toggled between Fahrenheit and
Celsius scales. The setpoint is adjustable via the
up and down arrow buons on the front panel. If
the system is in normal/override mode, pressing a
buon will raise or lower the setpoint. When either
buon is pushed, the display will toggle from room
temperature to the setpoint. When the buon is
released, the number displayed is the new setpoint,
and the display will return to room temperature aer
ten seconds. If the system is in setback/setup (for
heating/cooling) mode, pressing either buon selects
override mode.
An STE-6010/6014/6015/6016/6017/6018 includes a
four-pin EIA-485 (formerly RS-485) data port on
the cover’s underside for easy temporary computer
connection to the network. (Access with a KMD-5624
cable.)

Controller Connection
Connecting any of these models to a controller
requires a special cable with (on the sensor end) an
RJ-45 connector and (on the controller end) an RJ-11
connector with an additional three wires (as relevant
to the model) for controller inputs. Purchasing
preassembled cables from KMC is more cost-eective and reliable than creating custom cables in
the eld. Use one of the following cables:
KMD-5693 = 25 .
•
KMD-5694 = 50 .
•
KMD-5695 = 75 .
•
The additional orange wire is for the thermistor
input to the controller. The additional orange/white
wire is for the STE-6014/6016/6017/6018 setpoint
signal input to the controller. The additional green
wire is for the auxiliary supply voltage of 10 VDC
to the STE-6015/6018 or 7.5/12 VDC to the STE-6016.
The STE-6016 is the only model that uses all the
wires. For the other models, clip or tape the unused
wire(s).
PC Port Connection
At the boom of an STE-
6010/6014/6015/6016/601
7/6018 case is an EIA-485
(formerly RS-485) computer port. This port provides
a temporary connection
to the digital network for
network setup or troubleshooting.
To use the port to connect to a computer, a means of
converting the EIA-485 signal to a USB or EIA-232
(formerly RS-232) signal will be needed. The exact
connection depends on the computer and the opera-
tor workstation soware. (See also the instructions
included with those devices and soware.)
For USB (to WinControl or BACstage), use a KMD-
5576 USB Communicator.
For EIA-232 to BACstage, use a third-party interface.
For EIA-232 to WinControl, use the following (or
equivalent) items:
KMD-5624 NetSensor to PC cable
•
KMD-5559 CommTalk
•
KMD-5625 adapter cable
•
To access the network through the STE’s port:
1. Connect the keyed, at end of the EIA-485 cable
to the port on the boom of the STE.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to the interface
device that converts the EIA-485 signal into an
EIA-232 or USB signal.
3. Connect the suitable cable from the interface
device to the computer’s serial or USB port. Install
any required soware and congure the port as
necessary.

STE-6012/6016 Connection Configuration
Overview
Each STE-6012/6016 includes an
LCD display for the room temperature and setpoint, which can
be toggled between Fahrenheit
(the default) and Celsius scales.
The sensor allows a user to adjust
the setpoint via the up and down
arrow buons on the front panel. If the system is in
standard mode (12 VDC applied to terminal D or the
green wire), pressing a buon will raise or lower the
setpoint. When either buon is pushed, the display
will toggle from room temperature to the setpoint.
The setpoint will increment or decrement (a degree
with each press) depending on the buon being
pressed. When the buon is released, the number
displayed is the new setpoint, and the display will
return to room temperature aer ten seconds. If the
system is in setback/setup (for heating/cooling) mode
(7.5 VDC applied to terminal D or the green wire),
pressing either buon selects override mode.
Controller Connection
1. Press and hold either the down or up arrow
buons for at least 20 seconds. The display will
toggle from one temperature scale to the other.
2. Release the buon.
NOTE: This seing is wrien to nonvolatile
memory and will be saved even if power to
the sensor is lost.
Temperature Calibration (Offset) Procedure
NOTE: The total oset value is limited to +/– 3
degrees from the default value.
The temperature value displayed by the STE-
6012/6016 may be ne-tuned if desired by
performing the following steps. The sensor must be
in a stable location and operating at least ten minutes
before calibrating. Hold an accurate thermometer
about an inch under the unit as a reference during
this procedure.
1. Click the down arrow buon to decrement the
setpoint to its lowest value, 40° Fahrenheit or
4° Celsius, then press and hold the down arrow
buon.
For the STE-6012/6016, the controller will need signal
lines for two inputs (thermistor and setpoint), one
output (7.5/12 VDC supply), and common (ground).
Since each STE-6012/6016 has 0–5 volt DC outputs
for both the temperature and the setpoint lines,
turn o the corresponding 10,000 ohm pull-up
resistors on the controller board! Consult the
controller’s setup instructions for information on
turning o the pull-up resistors. For the other STE6000 series sensors, do not turn o the resistors on
the controller board as stated for the STE-6012/6016.
NOTE: For controller conguration instructions
for both WinControl and BACstage, see the
Controller Conguration section.
Fahrenheit/Celsius Display Selection
The STE-6012/6016 has an LCD display for showing
room temperature and setpoint. The display can be
toggled between Fahrenheit (the default) and Celsius
scales by performing the following procedure.
NOTE: Doing this erases any stored calibration
oset value (see below) and returns the
calibration to the default seing!
2. Aer holding the down arrow buon for about
ten seconds, the display will start ashing
the room temperature value and start an
approximately 15-second “exit calibration” timer.
NOTE: Entering the calibration mode erases any
previous saved oset value and will return
to the default seing.
3. While the room temperature value is ashing,
press the up or down arrow buon to modify the
room temperature value. Each press of the up or
down arrow buon will change the temperature
value by one degree.
4. The display will continue to ash for
approximately 15 seconds aer the last buon
press. Then the STE-6012/6016 will write the
modied value to memory and return to normal
operation.
NOTE: This procedure aects only the temperature
displayed on the LCD panel. It does not
aect the calibration or temperature value
in the controller. See also the WinControl
Thermistor Input controller conguration
instructions.

Controller Configuration
Overview
For an STE-6012/6016 sensor, the controller will need
two inputs (thermistor and setpoint), one output,
and a common (ground) signal lines.
Since an STE-6012/6016 sensor has 0–5 volt outputs
for both the temperature and the setpoint lines,
turn o the corresponding 10,000 ohm pull-up
resistors on the controller board! Consult the
controller’s setup instructions for information on
turning o the pull-up resistors. For the other STE6000 series sensors, do not turn o the resistors on
the controller board as stated for the STE-6012/6016.

NOTE: The STE-6012/6016 is powered by the
controller on terminal D or the green wire.
With 7.5 VDC applied, the sensor is in
setback/setup mode; with 12 VDC applied,
the sensor is in normal/override mode.
Pressing the Down buon momentarily
sends 0 VDC to the controller for a
SENSOR-ON signal; pressing the Up buon
sends greater than 5 VDC for a SENSOR-
OFF signal. When in normal/override
mode, pressing the Down or Up buon
raises or lowers the setpoint voltage. When
in setback/setup mode, pressing either
buon selects override mode.
70 REM *** BV2 IS THE OVERRIDE (FROM
LINE 2 IN BINARY VALUE OBJECT
SCREEN) ***
80 REM *** USE BUTTON ON SENSOR TO
START OVERRIDE (BV2) ***
90 IF SENSOR-ON( AI1 ) OR SENSOR-OFF(
AI1 ) THEN START BV2
100 IF TIME-ON( BV2 ) > 2:00:00 THEN
STOP BV2
110 END
