Mounting the System Components

Mounting the Controller

  • NOTE: Mount the controller inside a metal enclosure for RF shielding and physical protection.
  • NOTE: To mount the controller with screws on a flat surface, complete the steps in On a Flat Surface. Or to mount the controller on a 35 mm DIN rail (such as integrated in an enclosure), complete the steps in On a DIN Rail.

On a Flat Surface

  1. Position the controller on a flat surface so that the terminal blocks are easy to access for wiring after the controller is mounted.
    • NOTE: The black terminals are for power. The green terminals are for inputs and outputs. The grey terminals are for communication.
  2. Screw a #6 sheet metal screw (four total) through each corner of the controller.

On a DIN Rail

  1. Position the DIN rail so that the colour-coded terminal blocks are easy to access for wiring after the controller is mounted.
  2. Pull out the DIN latch until it clicks once.
  3. Position the controller so that the top four tabs of the back channel rest on the DIN rail.
  4. Lower the controller against the DIN rail.
  5. Push in the DIN latch to engage the rail.
    • NOTE: To remove the controller, pull the DIN latch until it clicks once and lift the controller off the DIN rail.

Mounting the Inclinometer

NOTE: If the outside air damper has vertical-axis damper blades, you will first need to install an HLO-1050 Linkage Kit on the outside air damper. (See the HLO-1050 Linkage Kit Installation Guide.) Then continue below.

  1. Position the inclinometer on a horizontal axis outside the air damper blade so that the wire is parallel with the blades and the arrow on the inclinometer sticker points up.TRUE-FIT-925-019-Airflow-Measurement-System-FIG-1 (4)
    • NOTE: If the unit has more than one outside air damper, mount the inclinometer on a horizontal axis return air damper blade. (However, if the unit also has more than one return air damper, an AFMS cannot be installed.)
  2. Attach the inclinometer to the damper blade with two #8 sheet metal screws.
  3. Route the wire away from the damper so that it will not bind the damper.
  4. Route the wire to the controller.
    • NOTE: Attach adequate strain relief (e.g. with wire ties) if needed to prevent the inclinometer from accidentally being pulled off of the damper blade during equipment maintenance.

Mounting the Supply Airflow Pickup Tubes

There must be enough pressure flow pickup tubes must be installed, for the size of the opening, to get an accurate average value for the air stream. Multiple pickup tubes (at least 2) connected in a parallel pitot array are recommended.

The supply air pressure flow pickup tubes can be installed in one of three ways:

  • On the Supply Air Fan Bell (using SSS-1112/3/4).
  • On the Supply Air Fan Bell (using SSS-1115/6/7).
  • In the Supply Air Duct (using SSS-101x).

On the Supply Air Fan Bell (using SSS-1112/3/4)

  1. Position the pickup tubes’ mounting foot on the edge of the fan bell so that the ends of the tubes are pointing toward the centre of the fan inlet.
    • NOTE: All pickup points must be within the air stream for accurate averaging of the differential pressure flow. If the pickup tubes are too long, use a shorter model.
  2. Attach the tubes to the fan bell using two self-tapping screws inserted through the 3/16” mounting holes.
  3. Repeat steps 1 to 2 to mount the remaining pickup tubes.

On the Supply Air Fan Bell (using SSS-1115/6/7)

  1. Position the pickup tubes so that the mounting feet span the fan inlet and all pickup points are within the air stream.
    • NOTE: All pickup points must be within the air stream for accurate averaging of the differential pressure flow. If the pickup tubes are too long, use a shorter model.
  2. Attach the first mounting foot to the fan bell using two self-tapping screws inserted through the 3/16” mounting holes.
  3. Attach the second mounting foot to the opposite edge of the fan bell (or the strut) using two self-tapping screws inserted through the 3/16” mounting cutouts.
  4. Repeat steps 1 to 3 to mount the remaining pickup tubes.

In the Supply Air Duct (using SSS-101x)

NOTE: The pressure flow pickup tubes should be mounted in filtered air in the location of laminar flow, which is about 6 straight duct diameters down the air duct.

  1. Determine the duct’s flow direction and install the pickup tubes based on the flow arrow imprint.
    • NOTE: The pickup tubes must be mounted with the arrow pointing in the direction of the airflow.TRUE-FIT-925-019-Airflow-Measurement-System-FIG-1 (5)
  2. Cut a 7/8” hole in the duct to accept the pickup tubes.TRUE-FIT-925-019-Airflow-Measurement-System-FIG-1 (6)
  3. Attach the pickup tubes to the duct using two self-tapping screws inserted through the 3/16” mounting holes.
  4. Repeat steps 1 to 3 to mount the remaining pickup tubes.

Mounting Pickup Tubes for Pressure Assist

Mounting for OAD Pressure Assist: Complete these additional steps only if installing a TRF-5901C-AFMS or TRF-5901CE-AFMS for an OAD pressure assist application. (See the TrueFit AFMS Selection Guide for details.)

TRUE-FIT-925-019-Airflow-Measurement-System-FIG-1 (7)

Mounting the First Pickup Tube

  1. Find a location for the first pickup tube outside of the outside air damper, in a location where there isn’t turbulent flow from the incoming outside air stream.
    • NOTE: For example, in a corner under the outside air intake hood. (See the drawing above.)
  2. Determine the airflow direction to install the pickup tubes so that the FLOW arrow imprint is perpendicular to the direction of the airflow (for static pressure measurement).
    • NOTE: In this case, the FLOW arrow imprint can point either up or down. Mark the SSS-10xx to assure others that this perpendicular orientation is indeed the intended orientation.
  3. Cut a 7/8” (22 mm) hole in the duct to accept the pickup tubes.
  4. Attach the pickup tubes to the sheet metal using two self-tapping screws inserted through the 3/16” (5 mm) mounting holes.

Mounting the Second Pickup Tube

  1. Find a location for the second pickup tube in the mixed air chamber, in a location where there isn’t the turbulent air flow.
    • NOTE: For example, in a corner of the mixed air chamber just inside of the outside air damper.
  2. Determine the airflow direction to install the pickup tubes so that the FLOW arrow imprint is perpendicular to the direction of the airflow (for static pressure measurement).
    • NOTE: In this case, the FLOW arrow imprint can point either up or down. Mark the SSS-10xx to assure others that this perpendicular orientation is indeed the intended orientation.
  3. Cut a 7/8” (22 mm) hole in the duct to accept the pickup tubes.
  4. Attach the pickup tubes to the sheet metal using two self-tapping screws inserted through the 3/16” (5 mm) mounting holes.

Mounting the First Airflow Pickup Tube

  1. Find a location for the first pickup tube near the return air damper, on the damper’s upstream side.
  2. Determine the airflow direction to install the pickup tube so that the FLOW arrow imprint is perpendicular to the direction of the airflow (for static pressure measurement).
    • NOTE: In this case, the FLOW arrow imprint can point either up or down (in a horizontal duct), or either left or right (in a vertical duct).
    • NOTE: It is recommended that a marking be applied to the SSS-10xx to assure others that this perpendicular orientation is indeed the intended orientation.
  3. Cut a 7/8” (22 mm) hole in the duct to accept the pickup tube.
  4. Attach the pickup tube to the sheet metal using two self-tapping screws inserted through the 3/16” (5 mm) mounting holes.

Mounting the Pressure Transducer (s)

  • NOTE: Complete these steps only if using a TRF-5901C(E)-AFMS controller.
  • NOTE: Avoid locations with severe vibrations or excessive moisture. The enclosure has a standard 1/2-inch conduit opening and may be installed with either a conduit coupler or a cable-gland-type fitting.
  • CAUTION: Do not use in explosive or hazardous environments, with combustible or flammable gasses, as a safety or emergency stop device, or in any other application where the failure of the product could result in personal injury.
  1. Ensure there is enough space around the unit to make the pressure and electrical connections.
  2. Use screws threaded through the case’s mounting holes to fasten the assembly to a location near the array of pressure flow pickup tubes. Do not over-tighten.
  3. If additional pressure flow pickup tubes were installed at the outside air damper or return air damper location for pressure assist measurements, repeat steps 1 and 2 for a second pressure transducer located near those pickup tubes.

Mounting the OAT, RAT, and MAT Sensors

STE-1411/12/13/14 Bendable Copper Sensor: Use a bendable copper sensor for easily accessible mixed air sections and outside air hoods. If the mixed air section is not easily accessible, a flexible cable sensor may be used. If the unit does not have an easily accessible outside air hood, a rigid steel probe may be used.

TRUE-FIT-925-019-Airflow-Measurement-System-FIG-1 (8)

  1. Cut a hole in the mixed air chamber of the unit large enough to feed the copper probe from the back of the enclosure.
  2. Insert the sensor probe into the mixed air chamber, bend the probe tubing to cover the air path, and secure it as needed.
    • NOTE: Maintain a minimum bend radius of six inches to prevent damage to the wires or sensors.
  3. Fasten the enclosure to the unit by drilling holes in the side of the unit and threading screws through the mounting holes in the case.
  4. For the cable leading to the AFMS controller, attach the conduit to the 1/2” NPT threaded connection hole at the bottom of the enclosure as needed.
  5. Open the cover by pulling slightly on the latch on the right side of the enclosure while pulling on the cover.

  3. If the controller is at either end of a BACnet MS/TP network (only one wire under the terminals), turn the EOL switch to ON.
    • NOTE: The EOL switch is shipped from the factory in the OFF position.

Connecting Power

Connecting Power to the Controller

To connect a 24 VAC, Class-2 transformer to the black power terminal block of the controller:

  1. Connect the neutral side of the transformer to the controller’s common terminal ⊥ .
  2. Connect the AC phase side of the transformer to the controller’s phase terminal ∼ .
    • NOTE: Connect only one controller to each 24 VAC, Class-2 transformer with 12–24 AWG copper wire.
    • NOTE: Use either shielded connecting cables or enclose all cables in conduit to maintain RF emissions specifications.
    • NOTE: To use DC power supply instead of AC, see the “Power (Controller) Connections” section of the KMC Conquest Controller Application Guide.

Connecting Power to the Inclinometer

  1. Connect the inclinometer’s red power wire to UO8 for a TRF-5901-AFMS, or UO10 for a TRF-9311-AFMS.
  2. Connect the inclinometer’s blue ground wire to GND/SC on the controller.

Connecting Power to the Pressure Transducer(s)

  • NOTE: Complete these steps only if using a TRF-5901C(E)-AFMS controller.
  • NOTE: Use at least 22 AWG, shielded, twisted-pair wiring for all connections. Do not locate device wires in the same conduit with wires supplying inductive loads.
  • CAUTION: When grounding the secondary of an AC transformer or when wiring multiple devices, ensure that the circuit ground point is the same on all devices and the controller.
  1. Connect the controller’s phase terminal ∼ to the transducer’s PWR terminal.
  2. Connect the controller’s common terminal ⊥ to the COM terminal on the transducer.
  3. If there is a second transducer for pressure assist applications, repeat steps 1 and 2 for that transducer.

Connecting Power to the Proportional Actuator
For instructions on how to wire to power and complete setup of your particular model of actuator:

  1. Select the appropriate model from the list, or search for it on the KMC Controls website:
  2. Access the installation guide found on that model’s product page.
  3. Follow all instructions on wiring to power and the remaining setup that applies to your model of the actuator.

Controller Power and Communication Status

  • The status LEDs on TRF-5901-AFMS and TRF-9311-AFMS indicate power connection and network communication. The descriptions below describe their activity during normal operation (at least 5 to 20 seconds after power-up/initialization or restart).
  • NOTE: If both the green READY LED and the amber COMM LED remain OFF, check the power and cable connections to the controller.

Green READY LED

  • After controller power-up or restart is complete, the READY LED flashes steadily about once per second, indicating normal operation.

Amber (BACnet MS/TP) COMM LED

  • During normal operation, the COMM LED flickers as the controller receives and passes the token over the BACnet MS/TP network.
  • When the network is not connected or communicating properly, the COMM LED flashes more slowly (about once a second).

Green ETHERNET LED

  • NOTE: The Ethernet status LEDs indicate network connection and communication speed.
  • The green Ethernet LED stays ON when the controller is communicating with the network.
  • The green Ethernet LED is OFF when the (powered) controller is not communicating with the network.

Amber ETHERNET LED

  • The amber Ethernet LED flashes when the controller is communicating with a 100BaseT Ethernet network.
  • The amber Ethernet LED remains OFF when the (powered) controller is communicating with the network at only 10 Mbps (instead of 100 Mbps).

Controller MS/TP Network Isolation Bulbs

  • The two network isolation bulbs serve three functions:
    • Removing the (HPO-0055) bulb assembly opens the MS/TP circuit and isolates the controller from the network.
    • If one or both bulbs are ON, the network is improperly phased. This means the ground potential of the controller is not the same as other controllers on the network. If this happens, fix the wiring.
    • If the voltage or current on the network exceeds safe levels, the bulbs blow, opening the circuit. If this happens, fix the problem and replace the bulb assembly.
