KMC Controls BAC-8001 Controller
The KMC Controls BAC-8001 Controller is a high-performance BACnet ASC (Application Specific Controller) engineered specifically for single duct VAV systems. Featuring an integrated 40 in-lbs actuator with a 90-second stroke time, this unit provides precise damper modulation for both cooling and heating applications. This SimplyVAV series controller is a pressure independent solution that includes an internal differential pressure sensor, making it suitable for both new installations and VAV retrofit projects. It supports automatic heating/cooling changeover and is fully compatible with BACnet MS/TP networks, allowing for seamless integration into a building automation system without specialized software. For configuration and airflow balancing, the unit utilizes the STE-8001 digital sensor, ensuring a menu-driven setup process for technicians. With a 24VAC supply voltage and support for occupancy setback via an STE-8201 sensor, the BAC-8001 optimizes energy efficiency while maintaining tight control over terminal unit performance.
Key Benefits- Native BACnet MS/TP compatibility ensures easy integration with existing building management systems and standard EIA-485 wiring.
- Integrated 40 in-lbs torque actuator eliminates the need for separate mounting, simplifying the mechanical installation on VAV boxes.
- Internal CMOS airflow sensor provides accurate pressure-independent control for reliable CFM management.
- No software required for commissioning; all parameters and network addresses are configurable through a standard digital room sensor.
- Built-in system diagnostic indicators assist technicians in identifying air handler unit (AHU) status and supply air temperature requirements.
Is this controller suitable for fan-powered VAV boxes?
The BAC-8001 is designed specifically for single duct cooling and heating applications. For series or parallel fan-powered boxes or those requiring reheat control, the BAC-8005 or BAC-8205 models should be utilized instead.
How do I set the MAC address and Baud rate?
These settings are addressed through the STE-8001 sensor. By entering the configuration menu, you can set the device instance and baud rate (up to 76.8 kilobaud) directly from the wall sensor without a laptop.
What diameter damper shaft will this actuator accept?
The integrated actuator's V-bolt mounting accommodates 3/8 to 5/8 inch round or 3/8 to 7/16 inch square damper shafts commonly found in standard VAV terminal units.
