MAXIMUM CABLE LENGTHS
The total combined cable length of a SMART-Net™ from the controller, including any daisychained SSs, to the final SS should not exceed 80 meters (250 ft). The actual maximum
functional network length can vary based on the type of cable used. For longer networks
and total cable length, use appropriate data cable with a lower resistance and capacitance
per meter (foot). Installing one or more SSX modules will also increase the number of SSs
and total cable distance that can be installed (further details on the SSX are supplied later
in this section).
The following formulas can be used to calculate the maximum length of selected cable.

Poor modular connector installation, high-resistance connections or excessive cable length
may cause the SMART-Net
communication. If this occurs, a Power Lo message may appear on the screen of the
affected SS-L. On an SS model with no LCD screen, the Test LED will remain solid off when
connected if it does not have sufficient voltage.
The recommended wire type is Category 3 or 5, 24AWG solid core. This allows the flexibility
of connecting RJ11 crimp connectors, but still works well for the terminal blocks.

The use of the flat satin cable is not advised unless kept to a short distance. This wire is

SMART-SENSOR EXPANSION BOARD (SSX)
Each SMART-Sensor™ expansion board (SSX) provides five expansion ports that can be
used as a central hub for field installed SSs. A centrally located SSX may reduce the wiring
length to individual SSs, resulting in more robust and error free communication.
Additionally, each SSX can be connected to an external power source for the purpose of
boosting the power to connected SSs, allowing the combined overall cable length of a
SMART-Net
™
to be maximized.

Ground yourself before touching the device to avoid damaging the electronics. Touch a
grounded metal surface to discharge static electricity.
Do not use conductors larger than 24 AWG (0.25 mm2) to facilitate the proper installation of
an RJ11 modular connector at the host controller.
Do not mount the SS above, or on the surface of heat-producing sources, below cooling
sources, near windows, behind obstructions, or in areas prone to infiltration. When mounted
in or on hollow walls, ensure that the electrical box and penetration is insulated and/or the
backplate is mounted to an insulated subbase to prevent drafts external to the space from
influencing the onboard thermistor.
RJ11 connectors for stranded and solid core conductors are not interchangeable. Using
the wrong connector will cause intermittent communication. The appropriate connector for
stranded conductors will have teeth on the gold plates that pierce the wire (this can be seen
by looking at the side of the connector closely). Connectors for solid core wires have a
single jaw that wraps around the solid conductor.

Each controller can host multiple SSs on its SMART-Net™. After all the SSs have been
installed, if there is more than one SS connected to a controller, each SS must be
configured with a unique address.
ADDRESSINGTHE SS
To address an SS that does not have an LCD screen, a DIP switch rack with four switches
is provided. Locate the DIP switch rack and configure the address by closing or opening
the appropriate switches as shown in Figure 44.
The 16 possible addresses are represented in binary and switch #4 (the switch located a
the top) is the least significant bit. For example, to configure the SSEA as address #1 open
switches #1, 2, and 3 while closing switch #4.
Do not skip SS addresses. When the host controller encounters the first unpopulated
SMART-Sensor worksheet, the previous SS address will be interpreted as the last device and
communication with higher addresses will not occur.
When addressing SSs be mindful of the maximum number of SSs supported by the host
controller.

except a SMART-Space Controller (SSC). The SMART-Space controller does not support
SMART-Net.
An SS-L can display points from networked controllers other than its SMART-Net host,
however those points cannot be adjusted by an operator using the SS-L buttons. If the
SMART-Net host is a BACnet only device (e.g., MACH-ProZone, MACH-ProAir), then any
network points to be displayed must be entered using BACnet references. If the SMARTNet host supports Reliable Controls Protocol (RCP), then any network points to be
displayed must be entered using RCP references.
Navigation through the configured LCD display screens and operator interaction with the
point values are both performed using the custom silicone rubber three button keypad.
The standard functionality of the buttons is outlined in Table 8.

DISPLAY MODES
IDLE/DEFAULT MODE
The SS-L LCD has three main display modes: Idle (the default), Quick-adjust, and Display
point.
Idle mode is the SS-L's default screen display. If there has not been any button activity on
the SS-L for 20 seconds, the display will automatically revert to the default screen.
The default screen displays the present value of the point or object configured in row
number one of the SS-L worksheet in the center (or middle row) of the LCD.
Any points or objects configured to appear as an icon will be displayed in the bottom row
of the default LCD screen.
FIGURE 53: SS-L IDLEMODEDISPLAYINGPOINTDESCRIPTOR
SECONDARY POINT
If the secondary point is enabled in the SMART-Sensor Setup dialog box, the present
value of the point or object configured as the secondary point will be displayed in the top
row of the default LCD together with the programmed two-character abbreviation.

QUICK-ADJUST MODE
The SSL's Quick-adjust mode allows for easy operator adjustment of a setpoint.
When the SSL LCD is in Idle mode (displaying the default screen), pressing either the
or button will cause the SSL to go into Quick-adjust mode.
In Quick-adjust mode, the SS-L displays the present value for the point or object
configured in row number two of the SMART-Sensor worksheet. The display blinks to
indicate that the value can be modified. Pressing the or button further will decrease
or increase the point value, typically a setpoint. After the desired adjustment is complete,
the display will continue to flash briefly until the value is communicated to the controller.
After 20 seconds have elapsed without further button interaction, the display will revert to
the Idle mode. Alternatively, after the setpoint has been adjusted, the operator can
advance to the next point or object by pressing the button.

The SMART-Sensor worksheet has ten rows. Each row (1–10) corresponds to the values
that will be displayed on the LCD of the SS-L and the order in which they will appear.
The point or object that is defined to be displayed in row number one will be displayed
when the SS-L is in Idle mode.
The point or object that is defined to be displayed in row number two is the quick-adjust
point. If a user presses either the or button while the SS-L is in Idle mode, the
present value of the point defined in row two will be displayed.
If the point or object in row two is set to Can Change in the User Edit column, when the
value is accessed as the quick-adjust point, the value will be displayed flashing steadily and
may be modified. If, however, the point or object is configured to Display Only in the User

not be modified in the controller.
The SS-L only supports one decimal place. When the SS-L is configured for two decimals,
the value will display properly in RC-Studio

CARBON DIOXIDE SENSOR OPTION (-CO2)
The CO2 sensor has replaced the duplex RJ11
jacks in -CO2 models
The backplate for -CO2 models has been made
deeper than the standard backplate.
SMART-Sensor™ models with a CO2 sensor (SS-CO2) feature a 0–2000 PPM CO2 sensor that can
accurately measure a space’s Carbon Dioxide levels within ±50 PPM. The CO
sensor has automatic
2
calibration built-in and only adds 2 mA current draw to the base model SS.
OVERVIEW
SMART-Sensor™ models with the -CO2 option have some significant differences from nonCO2 models, including:
• The duplex RJ11 connection port on the rear of the sensor head has been
removed to make room for the CO
sensor,
2
• A special backplate is included to compensate for the CO
sensor depth,
2
• The backplate has a small hole and plastic grommet for wire penetration,
• The SS-CO2 comes with both a manual and automatic calibration features,
and
• The PPM reading resolves to 1 PPM.

Figure 68 indicates that the backplate for -CO2 models is noticeably thicker than the
standard SS backplate thickness of 0.15 cm. Note the small grommet in the center of the
backplate for wire penetration. This small opening will minimize unwanted drafts that may
exude from a wall, especially when no insulation is present.
The mounting holes have been shifted 6 mm downwards compared to the original
backplate, for better alignment. Alignment pilots are included to match the original
backplate to facilitate drilling if required.

If unwanted air flow is entering the sensor from the wall cavity, the grommet may be sealed
with silicone sealant at the wire penetration point. This will prevent airflow within the wall
cavity from disturbing the reading. Silicone sealant outgassing will NOT damage the CO
sensor.
WIRING
The duplex RJ11 connection port on the rear of the sensor head has been removed to
make room for the CO
backplate which must be used for connecting models with the -CO2 option to SMARTNet
For more information, please refer to the Wiring Details section earlier in this document.
CALIBRATION
The CO2 sensor is factory calibrated, however, some calibration drift during shipping and
installation is typical. However, there are exceptions that will require the use of a built-in
automatic calibration algorithm. Specifically, when the lowest CO

AUTOMATIC
For applications where the CO
sensor is exposed to fresh air CO2 concentrations of 400
2
ppm at least once per week, the automatic calibration routine will calibrate the sensor to
specification within about 3 weeks. For applications where the sensor is not exposed to
400 ppm concentrations at least once every two weeks, manual calibration may be carried
out to increase final accuracy. Both automatic and manual calibration methods are
described below.
Automatic calibration occurs once in the first 24 hours after a power cycle, and then recurs
every two weeks thereafter. The lowest CO
value recorded during the cycle is compared
2
to 400 ppm, then the sensor is calibrated by the difference of the two values.

If the lowest CO2 value recorded is 600 PPM, as shown in Figure 69, the sensor will be
automatically calibrated down by 200 ppm (600 - 400). In other words, the calibration will
offset all readings by minus 200.
The 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 CO
value recorded by the sensor during the two-week
2
period was 600 ppm, resulting the sensor being automatically calibrated downwards by
200 ppm. If the lowest value recorded actually was 600 PPM, the sensor would be out of
calibration by 200 ppm following execution of the automatic calibration algorithm. For
applications such as continuously occupied rooms, or in densely populated cities, manual
calibration will be required.
Manual calibration should be performed on the CO2 sensor whenever the lowest CO
reading in the building does not drop to about 400 PPM at least once every two weeks.

The occupancy sensor installed in SMART-Sensors with the -OC option is capable of
detecting many motion events in a short amount of time. The SS occupancy protocol was
designed for setting the occupancy point (Point #5) as well as minimizing network traffic
over SMART-Net
after a fixed period of no motion. This fixed interval is referred to as ton (timer for minimum
occupancy ON time) and has a default of 10 minutes.
After an initial detection of motion, the occupancy sensor is in a True state. This, in turn,
sets the SS occupancy state and the controller occupancy state (Point #5) to a True state.
Whenever the occupancy sensor state transitions to the True state, the ton timer is reset
to the default. Whenever the occupancy sensor transitions to the False state, the ton timer
starts timing down. The occupancy sensor state may change many times, but the SS
occupancy state will remain True until the ton timer has counted down to zero following
the last motion sensed.
The state of the occupancy can be set to Unoccupied or False by the controller at any time
via Control-BASIC, or by manually adjusting Point #5 of the SMART-Sensor worksheet.
Setting Point#5 to False resets the ton timer back to the default. The ton timer will remain
at the default as long as the occupancy state is True and will start counting down to zero
only after a False state is detected. For more details, see Product Bulletin #4294.

DUCT OPTION (-DUCT)
Duct width
Duct width / 2
The SMART-Sensor™ with -DUCT option is capable of accurately reading air temperature
flowing within a standard air duct. But, to do so, the proper model with the appropriate
probe length should be chosen. The best model to choose will be the model with the tip
of the probe as close to the centerline of the duct as possible.
The simplest way to calculate the probe length needed is by taking the depth of the duct
and dividing by two. For instance, a 16 inch duct (as measured from the probe penetration
point to the oposite wall) would need an 8 inch probe. See Table 3 on page 20

Last Panel is a software parameter used to facilitate efficient token passing on RCP
networks only. On RCP networks, the controller with the highest physical address (RCP
address) should be configured as the Last Panel. This Last Panel setting will remind the
controller to return the token to the controller with the lowest physical address. If later
expansion causes controllers to be added to the network and higher physical addresses to
be used, the Last Panel parameter will have to be modified to ---- in the device that no
longer has the highest physical address and set to Last in the new controller with the
highest physical address.
BACnet MS/TP networks do no utilize Last Panel to facilitate the token-passing scheme
®
implemented for communication. For this reason, on BACnet
networks, it is recommended
that Last Panel not be used. Therefore, no controllers would be configured as Last but all
would be configured with a value of ---- for the LAST parameter.
Changes to the MSet Set-Up parameters are initially stored in the buffer of the SS-L only. To
send the changes to the controller, UPDATE must be set to Yes. After the configuration
parameters are sent to the controller, the controller must reboot to commit the changes. Do
not unplug the SS-L, press any of the buttons or make any further modifications after the
UPDATE value has been set to Yes until it automatically resets to No.
For best practice, provide a couple of seconds for the SS-L buffer to properly parse each
configuration parameter modification before committing the changes to the controller by
setting UPDATE to Yes.

Disable SS-L Configuration Tools
The FL-OVR parameter must be set back to 0 when the calibration procedure is complete to
allow the MACH-Air
™
to revert to normal programmed operation. This VAR overrides the
control airflow setpoint and any value > 0 will prevent the MACH-Air
programmed.
DISABLE SS-L CONFIGURATION TOOLS
If desired, the SS-L onboard configuration tools can be disabled, thereby preventing operators from accessing any of the configuration tools by entering the key code combinations.
