Delta Network Thermostat: BACstat II
DNT-T103 & DNT-T221
Document Edition 4.1
Product Description
The DNT-T103 and the DNT-T221 are intelligent room thermostats with
custom 3-value, 96 segment, LCD displays. The DNT products can
communicate directly on a BACnet MS/TP network or Delta’s proprietary
LINKnet network.
They are capable of displaying a wide-range of digital or analog values,
including setpoints, temperature, air flow, heating and cooling status, fan
speed, valve and damper position, and more. When connected on a BACnet
MS/TP network the DNT-T103 and T221 function as independent BACnet
thermostats. When connected to a Controller on a LINKnet network they
provide programmable remote sensor and expanded I/O capabilities. This
version’s firmware can be flash loaded over the network, and have
termination resistors that are jumper selectable.
The DNT-T103 has 1 extra input, 3 binary outputs and a number of built-in application control strategies. The
DNT-T221 has 2 extra inputs, 2 analog and 1 binary output and built-in application control strategies. As a
result, these BACstats are capable of stand-alone control when directly connected on an MS/TP network.

Important Information
This document has been updated to include features and capabilities of Release 4 firmware and
hardware for the BACstat II DNT-T103 and the DNT-T221 products. Although BACstat firmware is
independent from ORCAview, DCU, and Application Controllers, certain BACstat capabilities
require support in the other products. The firmware for the DNT-T103 and the DNT-T221 can be
flash loaded over the network.
1. V3.22FIRMWARE &SOFTWARE OR HIGHER
When BACstats are used with ORCAview, DCU, and Application Controllers loaded with V3.22
firmware/software please be aware of the following issues.
For an MS/TP Network Connection:
•A DSC is required
•Local BACstat display handling and control strategies may be enabled
•Data exchange may be done in GCL+ programming in any DCU or Application Controller
on the MS/TP network
Setup & Configuration
NETWORK COMMUNICATIONS
On an MS/TP network BACstats communicate at a default speed of 76,800 bps. Refer to the
Technical Reference Manual for further detail on configuring the MS/TP network or changing
baud rates. Also refer to the associated BACstat II Installation Guide for network installation
details.
Flash Programming
The BACstat II Release 4 product now offers flash loadable firmware across its network
connection. It is supported by Flashloader V3.33, and operates the same way as other Delta

PROGRAMMING
Objects
MS/TP CONNECTION
All of the existing predefined BACstat II objects are readily accessible over the MS/TP network.
Control Applications
BACstats with I/O may be configured to run one of six possible built-in control applications.
Another option disables local control altogether.
GCL+ Programming
BACstats are not programmable devices – GCL+ does not reside in a BACstat. Rather, when
connected to an MS/TP network you configure a BACstat for local operation and write GCL+
located elsewhere as necessary to do additional functions. In this way you configure the BACstat for
local operation (both display & button handling and local control) and then write any necessary
GCL+ in another controller for additional strategies.
For example: Through the Configuration Menu, you typically configure the BACstat II display and
buttons to functional locally, so GCL+ programs are not necessary for handling the display value or
adjusting setpoint (i.e., AV15 = 1237). You may also select a suitable control application for local
control. Then, using GCL+ programming located in another controller (i.e., DCU or other System
Device) you make mode and setpoint changes based on Time-of-Day or other conditions.
WITH V3.21 FIRMWARE: All GCL+ programming for mode changes (DCU, DSC or DAC), data
exchange, and other strategies must be written in the DCU.
WITH V3.22 FIRMWARE OR HIGHER: GCL+ programming for mode changes, or other strategies may
be written in any appropriate controller on the network.
Refer to the Programming Notes in Appendix A of this document, and also the appropriate
Appendix within the ORCAview Technical Reference Manual for further programming information.

When connected to an MS/TP network, the BACstat may configured to operate according to one of 7
possible application control strategies, and displayed in the Application variable (AV12).
Application Description AV12
None (MUX)* Provides remote control of the outputs from another device. 0
VAV Provides control of a simple VAV box and optional fan. 1
VVT Provides control of a simple VVT box and optional fan. 2
HPU Provides control of a Heat Pump Unit with a reversing valve and a fan. 3
FCU Provides control of a Fan Coil Unit with heating/cooling and a fan. 4
Unit Heater No longer supported. Use FCU instead.
Radiation/Reheat Provides control of single or multi-stage heating with no fan. 5
Humidity Provides control of a Humidifier and assumes a model of the BACstat
with a humidity sensor. (DNT-H103B and DNT-H121B) 6

Refer to the Application section of this guide for further detail on each of these control strategies, on
page 20.
*Although possible, this is not recommended because it can cause excessive network traffic.
2. ALGORITHM MODE
The application control strategy operates in one of the following basic modes, as determined by the
Algorithm Mode variable (AV13).
Algorithm Mode Description AV13
Unoccupied (Night) Uses Night Setpoints 0
Occupied (Day) Uses Day Setpoints 1
Minimum VAV Only: Forces the box to its minimum position 10
Maximum VAV Only: Forces the box to its maximum position 11
Closed VAV Only: Forces the box to its fully closed position 12
Open VAV Only: Forces the box to its fully open position 13
Zero Calibration VAV Only: Forces calibration of the bias so the airflow reads
zero at current conditions. This assumes that the Air Handler has
been shut down and that there is no air flow at the box.
14
Heating Lockout All heating control and associated icons are completely disabled
(as though no heating stages even exist) 20
Cooling Lockout All cooling control and associated icons are completely disabled
(as though no cooling stages even exist) 21
Heating/Cooling Lockout Both heating and cooling control and their icons are disabled 22
Unless the fourth digit of the Display Code (AV15) is set to 1 or 5, or Fan Control is configured as
Manual, the top two buttons on the BACstat – OFF (O) and ON(I) – will switch between Night and Day
modes. Changing to the other modes for VAV is keypad accessible in Air Balancer mode within the
Service Tool menus. The Alg. Mode (AV13) is also fully accessible from another device over the
network (via GCL+ or ORCAview OWS or 3rd
Lockout Modes
Party devices), to command it to any mode as required
(including the lockouts).
Heating and cooling lockout modes are operational for all Control Applications.
Basically, once a BACstat has been configured for various stages of heating and cooling, either the
heating and/or cooling may be disabled on the fly as necessary for various control strategies simply by
commanding the Alg. Mode (AV13). In all other regards, control continues to function the same as it
would when in Occupied mode.
Communications Reset Enable
The Alg mode (AV13) variable also has a property represented by a Comm Reset Enable checkbox in
the object dialog. This can be enabled or disabled, depending on installation requirements.
Disabled Enabled (the default as of Release 3 Firmware)
•The BACstat does not try a reset if •The BACstat will reset once if

communication is lost.
•If the device resets, the mode reverts to
whatever it was just prior to the reset (i.e., last
value as stored in non-volatile memory)
communication is lost, to try and re-establish
communication
•Should the device reset, the mode is set to
DAY

3. BOX MODE (DNT-T103AND DNT-T221ONLY)
When the application control strategy is configured for VAV or VVT, the Box Mode (variable AV33)
can be set to either cooling (default) or heating. When set to cooling, the air supply is treated as the first
stage of cooling. When set to heating, the cooling controller is inverted and the air supply is treated as
the first stage of heating.
Box Mode Description AV33
Cooling Duct Supply Air to the box provides cooling (default) 0
Heating Duct Supply Air to the box provides heating 1
This variable cannot be commanded or changed from the BACstat. As this function is completely
dependent on the air supplied to the boxes from another source, this variable would normally be
commanded over the network (i.e., typically via GCL+) whenever the air system changes between
heating and cooling.
NOTE:As of Release 3, VAV and VVT applications can no longer be configured with more than 1
stage of cooling. In earlier releases of firmware, do not configure a BACstat with more than 1 stage of
cooling, as additional stages of cooling don’t work properly when Box Mode is ever set to heating.
Software Controller Loop
1. GENERAL
The operation of the BACstat II is centered around a software controller. The controller uses the
following parameters in its operation.
Parameter Object Default Value Notes
Room Temperature AI1 N/A Input 1 **
Temperature Setpoint* OCCUPIED: Uses Day Setpoint (AV6)
UNOCCUPIED: Uses Night Heat Setpoint
(AV10) if the Input is below the Night Heat
Setpoint (AV6); and uses the Night Cool
Setpoint (AV11) if the Input is above the Night
Cool Setpoint (AV6); otherwise it is in a null
zone.

NORMAL CONTROLLER ACTION
Deadband is a span of 0.2 around setpoint (heating or cooling) over which neither heating nor cooling
takes place.
Here are a few rules and restrictions to how the internal Loop Controller functions:
•Heating and Cooling will not be ONat the same time
•If the Input temperature is less than (Day Setpoint – (Day Differential + ½ Deadband)) then the
controller is in HEATING
•If the Input temperature is greater than (Day Setpoint + (Day Differential + ½ Deadband)) then the
controller is in COOLING
•If the Input temperature is between these two extents for Heating and Cooling, then the controller is
in A null zone
For all control applications (except when Box Mode is heating in VAV or VVT) the Controller Status
(AV14) will modulate from -100 to 100% and sequence any necessary output stages. A value of 0 to
100% represents heating output from the controller, while a value of 0 to -100% represents cooling
output from the controller.

WITH BOX MODE = HEATING
For VAV or VVT applications, when the Box Mode is changed to heating, cooling is inverted and used
for controlling the flow damper as the first stage of heating, and the null zone is placed on the far right.
Moving from right to left, away from setpoint, the Controller Status (AV14) will modulate from 0 to
200% and sequence all the necessary heating stages. The flow damper modulates open over the first 0 to
100% and in so doing provides the first stage of heating. Any additional stages of heating modulate
open over 100 to 200%. Therefore, only when the Box Mode is in heating does the Controller Status
(AV14) modulate to a value greater than 100%, where 200% indicates all heating is fully open.
For heating lockout (in all applications), the heating output from the controller is forced to 0%, and the
heating icon is disabled on the LCD. Similarly, for cooling lockout, the cooling output from the
controller is forced to 0%, and the cooling icon is disabled on the LCD. As a result, the Controller
Status (AV14) will be limited accordingly.
3. CONTROLLER STAGING
Each controller can be split up into as many as three stages. The number of stages is automatically
determined by the output configuration associated with the selected application control strategy. The
controller stages are cascaded.

4. RESET ACTION (RESET RATE IN REPEA TS PER HOUR)
If the Reset Rate is non-zero, reset action is enabled. As long as there is a difference (or error) between
the input value (i.e., space temperature) and setpoint value, reset action will increment or decrement the
Controller Status value (AV14) over time - in proportion to the value of the reset rate and the magnitude
of the error - in an attempt to remove the error. In this way, the Controller Status value is continually
fluctuating in order to reach setpoint.
The amount of reset does not decrease internally as the input value approaches setpoint, but the reset
value is frozen while in deadband. The only time reset action has no affect on the controller output is
when the input is equal to the setpoint (no error). For this reason, be cautious about applying too much
reset action, otherwise you may cause unnecessary movement on actuators. By setting Reset Rate to 0,
you disable reset action altogether.
SETPOINTS
The BACstat II uses a series of setpoints for various purposes, most of which interact with one
another. For a complete list of these setpoints and other objects and their defaults, refer to the
Object table on page 9. When you change the units setting between ºC and ºF all of these
setpoints revert back to their matching default values – the BACstat does not do a conversion on
the fly. What follows hereafter is a working description for each of these setpoints. If the
particular setpoint is settable in the Configuration Menu it is indicated with its LCD text.
Day Setpoint (AV6) – 
This is the setpoint used when in DAY mode. With the Display Code (AV15) set to an appropriate
value the setpoint can be adjusted up or down by pressing the buttons. Whether or not this
setpoint is displayed or is adjustable on the LCD, it is used internally for control. The units for the
setpoint are ºC or ºF (as per AI1) unless the second digit of the Display Code (AV15) is set to 3
(for Humidity), in which case the units become %RH. The value for Day Setpoint can also be set
in the Configuration Menu, or by commanding the variable (via GCL+ or ORCAview OWS or 3

rd
Day Minimum Setpoint (AV7) –
Party devices).
This is the minimum value a user can adjust the Day Setpoint to. If an attempt is made to adjust
the Day Setpoint lower, it will not change. If a lower value is commanded from the OWS or
another device, it will not accept the change. The value for Day Minimum Setpoint can be set in
the Configuration Menu, or by commanding the variable (via GCL+ or ORCAview OWS or 3

rd
Day Maximum Setpoint (AV8) –
Party devices).
This is the maximum value a user can adjust the Day Setpoint to. If an attempt is made to adjust
the Day Setpoint higher it will not change. If a higher value is commanded from the OWS or
another device, it will not accept the change. The value for Day Maximum Setpoint can be set in
the Configuration Menu, or by commanding the variable (via GCL+ or ORCAview OWS or 3

rd
Party devices).

Document Edition 4.1 Page 19 of 41
Day Differential (AV9) –
This is the differential setting between the Day Setpoint and the internal Heating Setpoint (which
is used for heating control), and between the Day Setpoint and the internal Cooling Setpoint
(which is used for cooling control). The one value is used for both, one on each side of the Day
Setpoint. Refer to the diagram on page 16.

The purpose of this setting is to separate heating from cooling so as to prevent overlap, and to
create a reasonable null zone, within which no modulating control takes place – preventing
unnecessary actuator wear when the measured value is close to or on setpoint. The value for Day
Differential can be set in the Configuration Menu, or by commanding the variable (via GCL+ or
ORCAview OWS or 3rd
Day Heating Setpoint (Internal)
Party devices).
This is the setpoint used internally for heating control (which is the Day Setpoint - Day
Differential). This value is not directly adjustable. It can only be adjusted by setting either the
Day Setpoint or the Day Differential.
Day Cooling Setpoint (Internal)
This is the setpoint used internally for cooling control (which is the Day Setpoint + Day
Differential). This value is not directly adjustable. It can only be adjusted by setting either the
Day Setpoint or the Day Differential.
Night Heating Setpoint (AV10)
This is the setpoint used when in NIGHT mode and night setback heating is required. If the current
temperature is below the current Day Setpoint when in NIGHT mode, this value will be displayed
on the BACstat LCD (depending on how setpoint display has been defined by the Display Code).
This value is not adjustable by a user. It can only be adjusted through the configuration menu or
by commanding the variable (via GCL+ or ORCAview OWS or 3rd
Night Cooling Setpoint (AV11)
Party devices). Pressing the
up or down arrow will cycle to show the Night Cooling Setpoint.
This is the setpoint used when in NIGHT mode and night setback cooling is required. If the current
temperature is above the current Day Setpoint when in NIGHT mode, this value will be displayed
on the BACstat LCD (depending on how setpoint display has been defined by the Display Code).
This value is not adjustable by a user. It can only be adjusted through the configuration menu or

CONTROL DIAGRAM
The following diagram displays occupied mode and helps illustrate the relationship between the
internal software loop controller and various objects, including outputs.
CONTROL APPLICATIONS
1. NONE (or MUX) – [Application (AV12) = 0]
Function: No local control strategy, allowing the outputs (via AV1 to AV3) to be directly controlled
from a remote device.
•Triac outputs may be configured as Binary (which are not delayed; their values are transferred
immediately upon being received), PWM, and Tri-state (on Outputs 1 & 2).
•Analog outputs may be configured for 0-10v actuators (DNT-T221 only).
•Outputs configured as Pulse Width Modulation require that their “Low” and “High” variables be
appropriately configured for the particular type of device the outputs are connected to. Default
values of 59 and 293 are suitable for Belimo PWM actuators (representing 0.59 and 2.93 seconds
respectively).
