NEW FOR REVISION E
This manual describes the operation of hardware Revision E of the SMART-Space
Controller series. There are several significant advances in Revision E hardware as
compared to the previous Revision C. There was no Revision D. The most significant
changes are listed below.
• An optional CO2 sensor was made available.
• A thicker back-plate was added to provide more venting and more room for
models with the -CO2 option.
• Earlier hardware revisions all used TRIACs for their two-position outputs. The
TRIACS have been replaced with latching relays with superior in-rush rating and
less heat generation. This change also allows the SMART-Space Controller to
switch DC loads and loads with current draw below 20 mA if required. The
actual output wiring connections have not changed.
• The EOL jumper has been replaced with a more convenient EOL switch.
• Revision E hardware includes a faster microprocessor, with more RAM and
Flash (refer to the specifications section at the end of this User Guide).
• The maximum Control-BASIC program size has been increased from 1000 bytes
to 2000 bytes.
• The BACnet schedule in the Revision E SSC database can handle four start/stop
pairs per weekday, and 8 special events.
Two Firmware Versions!!!
Due to the changes in microprocessor and memory with Revision E hardware, the
firmware required for Revision E and pre-Revision E SMART-Space Controllers are NOT
compatible. Revision C Firmware will be required for Revision C and earlier controllers.
Revision E firmware will be required for Revision E and newer controllers.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
TO INSTALL THE SMART-SPACE CONTROLLER
1 If mounting on drywall, or other wall material, mount a suitable electrical box or
mud ring in the wall where the controller is to be located. Direct installation to
the surface of the wall is also possible, but is not as secure, and therefore is not
recommended.
2 Remove the controller head from the backplate (Steps 2, 3, and 4 are detailed
later in this section).
3 Install the backplate on the electrical box wall, or other suitable surface.
4 Remove the terminal strips from the controller head, and set the input and
output jumpers.
5 If the SMART-Space Controller is to be networked, use standard EIA-485
network procedures (see detailed procedure later in this section).
6 Disconnect all power, and then terminate field wiring to the terminal strips.
Terminate with the terminal strips unattached (see detailed procedure later in
this section).
7 Attach terminal strips to the controller head, and attach the controller head to
the backplate. Loosen the Allen screws (counter-clockwise) until the controller
head is locked firmly in place.
8 Apply 24 VAC power to the controller (see procedure later in this section).
9 If the controller is to communicate on a network, the button pad can be used to
enter a unique MAC address (see detailed procedure later in this section);
however, this procedure is not essential. Multiple SMART-Space Controllers can
be networked and powered up, and then discovered and configured centrally
using the RC-Toolkit
10 To associate the controller with its physical location when using the RC-Toolkit
BACnet MSet Tool, remove the serial number sticker from the controller head,
and attach the sticker to the floorplan or a list of room numbers.
11 Allow 2 hours runtime before calibrating the onboard thermistor.
12 Download and commission the controller pan file using RC-Studio.
This controller is intended to be installed in accordance with the local Electrical Code for the
country and district where it is installed, and in a manner acceptable to the local authority
having jurisdiction.

MOUNTING THE BACKPLATE
The SMART-Space Controller can be mounted using one of the 3 methods.
Method 1
SMART-SPACE CONTROLLER
INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
A single device box, 2" x 4" electrical box, or 2" x 4" mud ring is installed in
the wall prior to mounting the controller backplate. This method is
preferred, as it provides a firm mounting base and extra space for wiring
and wire nuts.
™
INSTALLATION
FIGURE 9: ELECTRICAL BOX MOUNTING
Use the two Phillips screws provided to attach the backplate to the
underlying electrical box or mud ring.
Method 2
The backplate is screwed directly to the wall, with no electrical box or mud
ring. Use suitable anchors and screws to attach the backplate to the wall.
This method is not recommended by Reliable Controls because the
controller is likely to loosen quickly.
Method 3
The backplate is screwed to a metal/plastic/wood surface. Use two selftapping screws in this application.
When mounting the SMART-Space Controller on an electrical box, the box mounting and
wiring methods must conform to the requirements of the Electrical Code in effect for the
location and country where it is installed. In particular, class 1 wiring cannot be installed in
the same electrical box as the class 2 wiring installed for the SMART-Space Controller.

EIA-485 NETWORK WIRING PROCEDURES
TO CONNECT THE SMART-SPACE CONTROLLER TO AN EIA-485 NETWORK
1 Reliable Controls recommends using 2-wire, shielded, low capacitance (less
than 25 pf/ft. nominal), 22 AWG, 108 Ω impedance, certified communication
cable for connecting the SMART-Space Controller to an EIA-485 network. The
Connect-Air part number for the cable tested and approved by Reliable Controls
for this application is W223C-2005RSPB.
2 To facilitate daisy-chaining of networked SMART-Space Controllers, two sets of
terminals are provided for terminating EIA-485 cables. The two sets of terminals
are connected to each other on the circuit board.
3 It is not necessary to terminate the REF pins, as the EIA-485 A and B voltages
are referenced to ground via the grounded return wire to the 24 VAC power
transformer.
4 When two EIA-485 cables are connected to a SMART-Space Controller, the two
shields must be connected together. Each continuous section of shield must be
grounded in one location only.
5 The End-Of-Line (EOL) switch must be set to the On position on the two EIA-485
devices located at the physical extremities of each separate EIA-485 network.
The SMART-Space Controller includes an EOL switch located beneath the black
terminal strip. All MACH-System controllers use either jumpers or DIP switches
to set the EOL position.
FIGURE 13: EOL AND SHIELD CONFIGURATION
18
2012-2015 Reliable Controls Corporation
TERMINATING THE CONTROLLER
Prior to terminating any wiring, ensure that all power is disconnected. Accidentally
touching the controller circuit board with a live wire can cause serious damage.
Termination is most easily accomplished with the terminal strips removed from the
controller head. On new construction projects, it may be convenient to detach the
terminals, terminate the field wiring, then tuck loose wire and terminal strips into the
electrical box until wall construction and painting is complete. The terminal strips can be
attached to the controller head during final commissioning.
SMART-SPACE CONTROLLER
INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
™
INSTALLATION
POWER WIRING
FIGURE 14: TERMINATING WITH TERMINALS DETACHED
The SSC and SSCE each consume 10 VA from a Class 2, 24 VAC transformer or 24 VDC
power supply. The SSCP consumes up to 65 VA, with all 4 relay outputs powering external
loads.
Beginning with Revision C SSC hardware (shipped after Jan 1, 2012), the SSC EIA-485
transceiver uses the COM power terminal as its voltage reference. Therefore the return
wire from the COM terminal to the transformer must be connected to earth ground. SSC
hardware Revisions A and B can also have the return wire to the transformer grounded for
safety reasons, however the EIA-485 for those SSCs do not use the COM terminal as an
EIA-485 reference, they use the REF terminals instead.
All Reliable Controls controllers must have the return wire to the 24 VAC transformer
connected to Earth ground for proper EIA-485 communications.
If power is taken from a transformer located in a packaged HVAC unit, the SMART-Space
Controller must be isolated from noise generated from contactors and motors. Install a
Reliable Controls PLF-2 power filter to isolate the controller from electrical noise on the
power wires.

ADDRESSING THE CONTROLLER
If the controller is to communicate on an MS/TP network, it must have a unique Media
Access Code (MAC). The MAC address must be in the range of 1–253.
METHOD #1 – RC-TOOLKIT BACNET MSET TOOL
There are two methods for setting the MAC address on a SMART-Space Controller.
When installing more then one SMART-Space Controller on a single network, it may be
convenient to enter multiple MAC addresses at once, using the RC-Toolkit
BACnet MSet
Tool, update 2.40, or later. Please refer to the RC-Toolkit section of this manual for detailed
instructions on the use of the BACnet MSet Tool.

BACNET NETWORK APPLICATIONS
BACNET NETWORK APPLICATIONS
The SMART-Space Controller can only communicate on a BACnet network using the EIA485 electrical standard, and the BACnet MS/TP data-link. It is not possible to configure a
SMART-Space Controller to communicate using RCP protocol.
In accordance with the BACnet standard, the SMART-Space Controller can communicate
at 9600, 19200, 38400, and 76800 baud. The controller features auto-baud detection,
allowing it to sense the communication speed used by other devices on a MS/TP network
and automatically configure its own communication speed to match. If the communication
speed is changed on a functioning network that includes SMART-Space Controllers, the
controllers will sense the change and automatically reconfigure within 1 to 2 minutes.
The SMART-Space Controller is a BACnet slave device, meaning that it cannot request
information from other BACnet devices, it can only respond to requests for information.
Unlike BACnet master devices, slave devices do not take their turn holding the token. As
a result, slave devices do not consume as much bandwidth on an MS/TP network as
master devices.
For a SMART-Space Controller to be accessed by other BACnet devices, including
RC-Studio, a proxy device must be present on the same physical network. Possible proxy
devices are the MACH-ProCom™, MACH-ProSys
MACH-Pro1
™
, MACH-Pro2™, and X-Port-2 (firmware version 6.70, or later). Because these
™
(firmware version 7.20, or later),
devices have the slave proxy service enabled by default, no special configuration is
necessary. On power up, the proxy device locates any slave controllers on its connected
networks and automatically makes them available to the entire BACnet internetwork. Since
the X-Port-2 can be connected to any other MACH-System product (e.g., MACH-Global
MACH1
™
, MACH2™, etc.) these devices can be networked to the SSC without a MACHProCom or MACH-ProSys. For further details on this subject, refer to the Slave Proxy
Configuration section of this manual.
1
Given that the SMART-Space Controllers use
/8 load transceiver chips, the theoretical
maximum number of devices on a single network would be 256, with a maximum network
length of 4000 feet. Master devices, and devices with
1
/4 load transceiver chips use more
network resources than a SMART-Space Controller. Table 3 is a rough guideline for the
maximum devices on an MS/TP network, assuming that all EIA-485 installation practices
recommended by Reliable Controls are followed.

INPUT/OUTPUT CONFIGURATION
INPUTS
All SMART-Space Controller models have an onboard temperature sensor wired internally
as input number four.
UNIVERSAL INPUTS
Inputs 1 and 2 for the SSC, and inputs 1, 2, and 3 for the SSCP and SSCE are universal
inputs that can be configured as binary (two-position) or analog (modulating) using
RC-Studio. Each input must also be configured for the electrical characteristic of the input
device, using the onboard jumper settings (see Jumper Settings later in this section). The
actual range of an input (e.g., temperature, pressure, Off/On) is configured using
RC-Studio.
Each universal input can be connected to a two-wire input device (temperature sensor,
pressure transducer, dry contact, etc.). Connect the input signal to the positive (e.g.,
IN1+), and the input common to the COM terminal. The COM terminals of all inputs are
connected internally to the COM terminal of the power to the controller.
JUMPER SETTINGS
The electrical characteristics of inputs are set using jumpers located between the two
terminal strips of a SMART-Space Controller. Each input has a corresponding jumper used
to set the input to one of three possible types.

INPUT/OUTPUT CONFIGURATION
FIGURE 23: OCCUPANCY SENSOR
The occupancy sensor installed in the -OC models is extremely sensitive and fast acting.
To utilize the occupancy sensor for any application, programmers should use a variable
to represent the occupied status, rather than the actual input point. The value of the
occupied status variable is determined by Control-BASIC, similar to the following code.
10 IF BI6 THEN START OCC-VARIABLE
20 IF TIME-OFF( BI6 ) > 0:15:00 THEN STOP OCC-VARIABLE
With the above code installed, a single sensed motion will cause the OCC-VARIABLE to
be set to TRUE, representing the occupied state. The OCC-VARIABLE will remain TRUE
until the sensor does not register motion for a continuous period exceeding 15 minutes
(adjustable for actual site conditions), after which, the code will set the OCC-VARIABLE to
FALSE. Refer to Figure 24. The filtering action of the Control-BASIC code will prevent the
SMART-Space Controller from interpreting a short period of zero motion as the onset of an
unoccupied period, causing nuisance switching between modes.

OPTIONAL CARBON DIOXIDE SENSOR (-CO2)
SMART-Space Controller models with the -CO2 option include a 0-2000 ppm
non-dispersive infrared CO2 sensor internally wired to Input 7. The sensor uses an
auto-calibration algorithm that will maintain an accuracy of +/- 50 ppm over time.
FIGURE 25: SSC WITH -CO2 OPTION
CALIBRATION OVERVIEW
The CO2 sensor is factory calibrated, however some calibration drift during shipping and
installation is typical. Twenty-four hours after initial installation and power application, the
automatic calibration algorithm will run, as described below. If this does not provide
enough immediate accuracy, then a manual calibration can be performed to increase the
accuracy right away. Whether or not the manual calibration is performed, the automatic
calibration will gradually calibrate the sensor over time.
A
UTOMATIC CALIBRATION
Automatic calibration occurs once in the first 24 hours after a power cycle, and then recurs
every two weeks thereafter. The lowest CO2 value recorded during the cycle is compared
to 400 ppm, then the sensor is calibrated by the one half of difference of the two values.

FIGURE 26: AUTOMATIC CALIBRATION ONCE EVERY TWO WEEKS
If the lowest CO2 value recorded is 600 PPM, as shown in Figure 26, the sensor will be
automatically calibrated down by 100 ppm ( (600 - 400)/2 ). In other words, the calibration
will offset all readings by minus 100 ppm.
The CO2 sensor must be exposed to fresh air at least once every two weeks for the
automatic calibration algorithm to provide an accurate calibration. It doesn't matter when
the fresh air will be sensed, just that it will be sensed at some point during the period.
In the above example, the lowest CO2 value recorded by the sensor during the two-week
period was 600 ppm, resulting the sensor being automatically calibrated downwards by
100 ppm. If the lowest value recorded actually was 600 PPM, the sensor would be out of
calibration by 100 ppm following execution of the automatic calibration algorithm. For
applications such as continuously occupied rooms, or in densely populated cities, this
sensor is not recommended.
MANUAL
Manual calibration is only required for immediate calibration of the sensor for
commissioning purposes. The effect of the manual calibration will disappear after the next
automatic calibration.
Manual calibration is accomplished by writing to BACnet property 1139 of the CO2 Analog
Input object. This is most easily accomplished by utilizing the Read/Write BACnet
Properties dialog box in RC-Studio.

INPUT/OUTPUT CONFIGURATION
UNIVERSAL OUTPUTS
An output with jumper set to the universal position provides a 0–12 VDC output with a
maximum current load of 20 mA. The outputs are configured with RC-Studio to be twoposition or modulating.
Typically, the universal outputs on a SMART-Space Controller are used for modulating
control of a valve or damper actuator.
Relay outputs should be the first choice for two-position control. If a universal output is to be
used for control of a pilot relay, care must be taken to ensure the pilot relay draws less than
20 mA.
SMART-Space Controller outputs that can be configured as universal outputs always have
two terminals per output, positive (e.g., Out1+) and negative (e.g., OUT1-). The negative
terminal is connected internally to the COM terminal. Figure 28 shows the recommended
method for wiring an SSC universal output to a typical 0–10 VDC modulating actuator and
a standard pilot relay.

Starting with Revision E, SMART-Space Controllers use latching relays for both

rated for continuous loads up to 500mA. Relay outputs switch to the 'open' or 'off' state
upon failure of controller power.
Figure 29 shows the typical Relay output wiring for an SSC or SSCE. The output terminals
are completely isolated between outputs, and from the power connections. For this
reason, SSC and SSCE models can switch any mix of DC and AC loads.

The SMART-Space Controller was designed so that one or more units can be connected

without affecting existing communication on the network. This is possible because of the
following unique features:
• Baud configuration is not required, because the controller senses the network
baud and configures itself to communicate at the same rate.
• Every SMART-Space Controller ships without a MAC address, allowing
unconfigured units to remain silent and undiscovered on an MS/TP network
when powered up.
It is possible to set the Media Access Code (MAC) of each controller using the onboard

BACnet objects are created by entering a name, selecting units, or by modifying other
worksheet fields. Object mnemonics are created in ascending order, with the object
instance number matching the row number of the object in a worksheet. For example, in
a Variables worksheet, row three is used to create a variable object with instance number
three, which could be an analog, binary, or multistate variable, depending on the unit
range selected.
In Figure 56, the programmer selected analog units for variables 1 and 3, creating analog
variables with the mnemonics AV1 and AV3 respectively. A binary unit range was selected
for variable 2, creating a binary variable with the mnemonic BV2. A multistate unit range
was entered for variable 4, creating a multistate variable with the mnemonic MV4.

WORKING WITH CONTROL-BASIC
When programming with Control-BASIC, it is important to remember that a program can
only modify objects that have been previously created. A program that references an
object that does not yet exist will compile without the point being created.
When programming with mnemonics rather than object names, RCP references will not

SHARE FUNCTION
The SHARE function is used by any Reliable Controls device that supports the SHARE
function MACH-Pro/Web/Com/Sys, MACH-Pro1, MACH-Pro2, controllers to share internal
BACnet objects to SMART-Space Controllers located on any of the MS/TP networks
connected to the device’s own EIA-485 ports. A device cannot SHARE a point that does
not exist in its own database.
The syntax for the SHARE function is as follows:
10 var = SHARE( object , arg )
Where…
var is a variable or local variable in the controller where the SHARE function is utilized. The
value of var increments according to the number of times the object is shared to the
network.
object is the name or mnemonic of a valid BACnet object located in the device where the
SHARE function is utilized.
arg is an optional Change of Value (COV) increment, valid only for shared analog values.
The COV increment is the minimum change in the value of the object required before the
object will be re-broadcast to the network. If arg is omitted, an increment of 1.0 is used.
The COV increment is not required and not valid for binary points.
SHARE-NET FUNCTION
The SHARE-NET function is used by any Reliable Controls device (except a MACH-Air,
MACH-Zone, or SMART-Space Controller) to share internal BACnet objects to SMARTSpace Controllers located on any specific MS/TP BACnet network in an internetwork.
The syntax for the SHARE-NET function is as follows:
10 var = SHARE-NET( net , object , arg )
Where…
var is a variable in the controller where the SHARE-NET function is utilized. The value of
var increments according to the number of times the object is shared to the network.
