BACnet® Fixed Function Thermostat

FOR FAN COIL/HEAT PUMP/CONVENTIONAL SYSTEMS

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

APPLICATION
Honeywell’s BACnet® Fixed Function Thermostat, BACnet
FF, is a configurable device with 19 pre-loaded
applications. The thermostat is a communicating,
intelligent sensor-controller combination with built-in
temperature and humidity sensors used to control
systems such as roof top units, fan-coil units and heat
pumps. The thermostat communicates over an MS/TP
LAN so it operates as a fully-functioning BACnet
controller and easily integrates with the building
automation system. The two available models are
TB3026B and TB3026B-W, which includes a wireless
sensor option.

Location
Do not install the thermostat where it can be affected by:
— drafts or dead spots behind doors and in corners.
— hot or cold air from ducts.
— radiant heat from sun or appliances.
— concealed pipes and chimneys.
— unheated (uncooled) areas such as an outside wall
behind the thermostat.

IMPORTANT
To avoid electrical interference, which can cause
erratic performances, keep wiring runs as short as
possible and do not run thermostat wires adjacent
to the line voltage electrical distribution systems.
Use shielded cable. The cable shield must be
grounded only at the controlled equipment case.

Proper shield grounding of the MS/TP cabling can help
minimize the risk of communications problems and
damage to equipment because of transient voltage spikes
(for example, lightning strikes).

Follow these guidelines for grounding MS/TP cable

shields:
• Each MS/TP segment should have a single point of
shield ground, preferably as close to the middle of the
cabling run as possible.
• Do not ground the MS/TP shield using a BACnet FF
terminal.

3 31-00093—03
BACNET® FIXED FUNCTION THERMOSTAT

• Never ground both ends of a shield; differences in

potential between the grounds may induce current on
the shield, causing interference. WALL

• At termination connecting points, tie the shield through

with a wire nut.
• At ungrounded, exposed shield points (the end of a
segment), tape back the shield to the wire jacket or, for
optimum transient shunting, use 100V gas discharge
tubes or 120V MOVs between shield and ground.

Terminating Resistors
Matched terminating resistors wired across MS/TP+ and
MS/TP– are required at the last device on each end of the
MS/TP segment for signal integrity (Fig. 5).

Optimum segment performance typically requires

“tuning,” a process by which the value of the terminating
resistors is selected based on the wave form of signals on
the segment. View wave forms using an industrial scope
meter. The goal is to have as square a wave form as

affect the wave form as follows:

• When the resistance value increases, the amplitude of

Adjusting the Date and Time

When the controller is first powered up, the date and time
might need to be set. These are set at the factory, but the
on-board power supply may have run down. If this
happens, adjust the date and time.

back of the thermostat.
2. Push the thermostat straight onto the wallplate. Setting the MAC Address and
Device Instance
The MS/TP MAC address for each device must be set to a
unique value in the range of 0-127 on an MS/TP network
segment. The MAC address is set using the installer setup
menu through the device’s display. The factory default
MAC address is 0.

31-00093—03 4
 BACNET® FIXED FUNCTION THERMOSTAT

The Device Instance Number must be unique across the

entire BACnet system network because it is used to
uniquely identify the BACnet devices. It may be used to
conveniently identify the BACnet device from other
devices during installation. The Device Instance Number
is set using the installer setup menu through the device’s
display or over the BACnet network. The Device Instance
Number can be changed by the user, which may be
necessary when integrating with a third party or when
attempting to replace an existing device and it is desired
to maintain the existing Device Instance Number. The
factory default Device Instance Number is 0009999 and
can range from 0-4194302.

NOTE: The device instance can also be set over the

BACnet network.
