BAFWORKS™
You’ve made a great choice! Big Ass Fans® are an efcient, cost-effective and seriously cool way to stay comfortable and save energy
all year long. More importantly, everything about your new fan—from the design of the motor to the angle of the airfoils—is based on
extensive research, testing, and innovative engineering. It will keep you and your space comfortable for years to come.
Any questions or comments? We’d love to talk. Just call 1-877-BIG-FANS (1-877-244-3267) or visit bigassfans.com/contact-us/.
About Big Ass Fans
Our provocative moniker originated with the massive overhead fans we perfected to bring comfort and energy savings to large industrial
buildings. Today, though, Big Ass Solutions is much more than industrial—and much more than Big Ass Fans or Big Ass Light. Big
Ass means quality, form, and function to solve problems in the built environment. It means having a herd of engineers on staff and the
world’s only R&D facility dedicated to testing air movement on a grand scale. It means speaking to our customers directly to understand
and solve their problems—if they need air movement, we do it bigger and better. If they need light, we make incredibly bright, long-
lasting LEDs. But mostly it means an insatiable drive to improve, engineer, design, test, re-engineer, re-design, and re-test until we get
it just right. That’s why there’s No Equal™.
About BAFWorks®
BAFWorks enables you to network and control all of the fans, lights, and ventilation systems in your facility from a secure, centralized
location. The system’s intuitive wall-mounted interface is simple to learn and makes controlling and automating your devices easier than
ever. This translates into year-round energy control and savings, as well as real-time operational information about your devices, right
at your ngertips.
Big Ass Solutions recommends reading this Installation Guide in its entirety before installing the control system so that a plan of action
can be made for system implementation.

2Introduction (cont.)
BAFWorks®system diagram
The diagram below shows a typical BAFWorks®installation with fans, lights, exhaust fans and louvers, and temperature sensors.
1. The iPad and Wi-Fi router are located inside the provided wall mounting bracket. The Wi-Fi link must be dedicated to the iPad, as this is your only
means of fan control unless a remote operator station is installed. Big Ass Solutions does not recommend removing the iPad from the mounting
bracket. This will leave you without a means of fan control if the Wi-Fi signal is lost or if the iPad itself is lost. See page 23 for details.
2. ADAM modules can be daisy chained.
3. The BAF gateway is connected locally to the Wi-Fi router. If the gateway is remotely mounted, a customer-supplied 5VDC 100mA power supply must
be used. See page 21 for connection details for the wall-mounted components.

Pre-Installation (cont.)
Pre-installation requirements
1. Identify network to use for BAFWorks®
Choose one of the following:
a. Use the provided NETGEAR®N150 Wi-Fi router.
If the provided Wi-Fi router is used, CAT5 cable must be routed between the router and all ADAM modules (star or daisy chain
topology). Keep in mind that the NETGEAR router includes only four (4) LAN ports; therefore, the maximum number of home runs is
limited to three (3).
b. Use the existing wired or wireless network.
Use this setup in locations where third-party Wi-Fi routers are not approved. Adhere to the following requirements:
• Use of the existing network requires close cooperation and planning with the facility’s network administrator.
• CAT5 cable must be routed between the ADAM modules and the nearest LAN port (star or daisy chain topology).
• CAT5 cable must be routed between the BAF gateway and the nearest LAN port.
• The Wi-Fi and LAN must be part of the same subnet or VPN.
• The iPad® IP address must be in the same range as the ADAM modules and the BAF gateway.
• Firewalls must not block the ports required by the system. Refer to the table below.
UDP/TCP ports used by ADAM modules (initial mode)
Function Protocol Port
UDP ASCII communication UDP 1025
Datastream UDP 5168
GCL IO message UDP 5168
P2P message UDP 1025
Search engine UDP 5048
TCP ASCII/Modbus communication TCP 502
Download TCP 5450
Download Adam6024 TCP 7000
When the ADAM modules are in normal mode, they follow the standard of Ethernet/IP. TCP port number 44818 is used for explicit
messaging and UDP port number 2222 is used for implicit messaging.
2. Identify hardware requirements
Identify the hardware required to interface with the facility’s equipment. Adhere to the following:
a. The lighting panel includes six (6) 4-pole, 20-amp lighting contactors and can control twenty-four (24) 20-amp lighting circuits in six
groups of four. The contactors are 120 VAC coil, but can be ordered with optional coil voltages if needed.
b. The 6 channel relay output panel includes one (1) ADAM 6160 module and can control six (6) loads independently (relay contacts
are limited to 5 A @ 250 VAC each). This panel should be used for interfacing with exhaust fan motor starters, louvers, and lighting
circuits, which are already controlled by lighting contactors.
c. The 12-channel relay output panel includes two (2) ADAM 6160 modules.
d. The 8 channel analog input panel includes one (1) ADAM 6117 module. It supports both voltage (±1, ±5, ±10) and current (±20 mA,
0–20 mA, 4–20 mA). Big Ass Solutions recommends and pre-congures the modules for 4–20mA operation.
i. One controlled fan zone requires two (2) channels (oor temperature sensor and ceiling temperature sensor).
ii. One controlled ventilation zone requires two (2) channels (oor temperature sensor and outdoor temperature sensor).
iii. The oor temperature sensor can be shared by fan automation and ventilation automation (i and ii).
iv. Additional controlled zones (if it is desired to control by temperature independently) will require additional channels and sensors.
e. All panels (a, b, c, and d) include a 30 W, 24 VDC power supply. AC input: 100–277 VAC, 50/60 Hz.
Read and complete all of the following steps prior to BAFWorks®installation!

Pre-installation requirements (cont.)
3. Obtain ADAM module MAC ID numbers
If multiple ADAM modules of the same module number will be used on the same network, Big Ass Solutions recommends obtaining and
recording each module’s MAC ID number. The MAC ID numbers will be helpful during ADAM module conguration.
To obtain an ADAM module’s MAC ID number:
1. Remove the two (2) small Phillips head screws from the back of the module and separate the case halves. Refer to the illustration
below.
2. Locate the module’s MAC ID sticker on the PC board.
3. Record the MAC ID number on page 58 of this manual and on page 28 of the BAFWorks®User Guide. You can also carefully peel
the sticker off of the PC board and relocate it to the outside of the module case for future reference. Refer to the illustration below.
Set ONLY the input mode selection switches to 4–20
mA. DO NOT toggle any of the other switches inside the
module. These switches are critical to module operation.
Toggling these switches may ruin the module.

*The addition of an SPDT pilot relay as shown above allows the use of both iPad® start/stop and the existing start/stop push buttons.
However, relay contact ight time is critical. If the pilot relay's N.C. contact re-closes too quickly upon an iPad stop command relative
to the motor starter's auxiliary contact opening, the motor starter may fail to de-energize if the iPad was used to energize the starter. If
this occurs, the existing start/stop push buttons must be disconnected from the circuit, and the motor starter must be controlled from the
iPad only as shown below.

diagram can also be used as a basic guide for modifying an electrically held contactor to operate as a mechanically held contactor.
Auxiliary contact ight time is critical in these applications. Normally Closed Late Break and/or Normally Open Early Make auxiliary
contacts may be necessary for proper operation.
Contact the lighting contactor manufacturer if additional details are needed.
