Product Description
The DFC-304R3-240 Fan Coil Controller is a
line powered, fully programmable (via GCL+)
Native BACnetApplication Controller that
communicates using the BACnet MS/TP
protocol. Direct 240 VAC line voltage terminal
connections are provided for one, two, or three
speed fans (up to 1 HP).
The binary model, with additional 4 triac
outputs, covers a wide range of Fan Coil Unit
applications, including two and four pipe fan
coils. And room temperature can be a
standard 10K sensor or a BACstat II
connected via a secondary LINKnet network
and 24 VAC power out connection.
Important Information
This controller has terminals for connecting 240VAC (Class 1, Line Voltage). The terminals are
safety rated, however this controller may have to be mounted in an enclosure if it is not
mounted inside the FCU. Check local electrical codes.

Cautions or Warnings
Personal injury/loss of life may occur if procedures are not performed as specified.
If this equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection provided by
the equipment may be impaired.
Do not open the controller. There are no field serviceable parts or field adjustments inside.
Equipment damage or loss of data may occur if the user does not follow a procedure as specified.
This controller is an Electro-statically sensitive device. Proper ESD protection (ground strap) should
be used when installing this product so that damage to the product does not occur.
Mounting
The Fan Coil Controllers must be mounted inside the Fan Coil Unit box for safety reasons due to the presence
of 240 VAC at terminal blocks.
The Fan Coil Controllers are mounted directly on a flat panel using the end mount tabs with two screws.

Device Configuration
Device Type
Various products have the capability of being configured as one of several
possible device types, which represents the network level that it will reside on
in the network architecture (Area, System, Subnet). Other than the one device
acting as a router, all other devices on the same network segment must be
configured the same.
System/Subnet: The DFC-304R3-240 is a Subnet device only. It cannot be
configured as a System device.
AREA
SYSTEM
SUBNET
Derived Network Addressing
The DNA jumper comes ON by default. This allows the device to automatically
configure a BACnet device address. This should NOT be removed unless you
are assigning a BACnet device number through software. The BACnet device
number should not be confused with the DIP switch setting, and each device
must still have a unique dip switch address even when using software to define
the device number.
DNA
Device Addressing
The Dip Switch is a binary switch. Each individual DIP switch represents a
unique value, which forms the device address when added together.
To set the address, simply move the switches that add up to the devices
desired address to the ON position.
Example: If the device is to be address 5 on the network, set the switch
numbered 4 and the switch numbered 1 (equals 5) to the On position.
Note: Each device on the same MS/TP segment must have a unique DIP
switch address.
Refer to the DNA section of the ORCAview Technical Reference Manual, and
the General System Description for more information on DNA and
System/Subnet devices.

Wiring General
All wiring must conform to NEC and local codes and regulations.
Use stranded or solid copper wire with 80ºC and 300 V rated insulation
Connect protective earth ground
A Disconnect Switch and/or Circuit Breaker shall be included in the
building installation, (as required by local building code). The Circuit
Breaker must be sized to accommodate the controller’s power and the
maximum load connected to the Fan Motor Relay outputs
The Disconnect Switch shall be marked as the disconnect switch for the
equipment, and mounted in close proximity of the equipment to allow for
power disconnect for servicing
Determine supply rating by summing total VA of product and Fan Motor
load
For the Line Voltage terminals, use 18 AWG to 12 AWG, (sized for Fan
motor load) stranded or solid copper wire with Class I insulation
Keep Class 2 wiring separate from Class 1 wiring
Power
The Fan Coil Controllers require 240 VAC 2000VA maximum, this includes fan motor load and low voltage
circuitry. The on board transformer must only be used to provide power for the controller electronics, valve
actuators powered through outputs, and 1 DNS-24L BACstat II connected to Class 2 Power. Class 2 inputs and
outputs on the DFC’s follow the same general wiring connection diagrams as other Delta Controls products.
If too much power is drawn from the on-board transformer, a re-settable fuse will be
activated. After the fault has been fixed, power must be removed from the unit for 1
minute to allow the fuse to automatically reset.
Network Communication
The controller communicates on Twisted Pair Ethernet 10-BaseT using BACnet IP and BACnet over Ethernet,
or on an RS-485 LAN using the BACnet MS/TP protocol. Refer to Delta Controls Wiring Guidelines for further
details.

MS/TP (RS485) Wiring
For detailed information on MS/TP and LINKnet wiring refer to Delta Controls Wiring Guidelines.
The proper specified cabling must be used to ensure reliable communications. (22-24 AWG
twisted pair, 100-120 ohms impedance, 17 pF/ft or lower capacitance, with a braided or aluminum
foil shield.)
Controllers should always be wired together in a daisy-chain fashion. Attempting to connect them
using a starred or bus configuration will cause problems on the network.
Networks with a total length greater than 4000 ft or with more than 50 devices require a repeater
(RPT-768).
LINKnet networks that have only 1-2 devices, and have less then 100 ft of cable length do not
require network terminators.
Input and Output Wiring
Inputs and outputs on the DFC-304R3-240 controller follow the same general wiring connection diagrams as
other Delta Controls products. Refer to separate documentation for additional details.
Input Configuration
The input must be configured to accept the signal used by
the input device. Place the jumper for each input in the
correct location on the Input Type Selector Block. The
diagram to the right shows the factory default selection of
10 KΩ.
4-20mA For sensors that use a 4 to 20 mA signal.
10K For 10 KΩThermistor temperature
sensors, as well as Dry Contact binary
inputs.
5V For sensors that use a 0 - 5 VDC signal.
10V For sensors that use a 0 -10 VDC signal.

Output Configuration
Triac Outputs
DFC outputs switch INTERNALLY sourced 24VAC only.
They cannot switch an external 24Vac power source.
The triac outputs are intended to drive a 24VAC tri-state or
two-position valve actuator.
In the default FCU database, OP1 and OP2 are used to
position a tri state heating valve actuator, and OP3 and
OP4 are used for a tri state cooling valve actuator.
Fan Speed Relay Operation
The relay interlock circuitry only allows the highest speed select terminal to be energized. Speed I and II relays
are disconnected by the hardware interlock circuitry when Speed III relay is active. The hardware interlock
operates when two or more outputs are on, then the highest speed select terminal is energized.
The DFC controller hardware does not allow more than one fan relay to be energized at the same time. The
default database will switch the fan speeds without any programmed time delay. Should this controller be used
with FCU equipment that requires delays when switching the fan speeds, the database must be modified to suit.
It is recommended that the Speed III terminal be used for single speed fan applications; use
Speed II and III terminals for two speed fan applications.
Database Backup
A Super capacitor is used for SRAM database backup. This device does not require maintenance or
replacement during the lifetime of the product. While the product is powered up, the Super capacitor is
automatically charged. After 48 hours of charging time, the Super capacitor has 100% backup time capacity.
There is a possibility of data loss if the Super capacitor charging time is too brief.
Network Communications Setup
The controller communicates on a BACnet MS/TP network at a default speed of 76,800 bps. Refer to the
ORCAview Technical Reference Manual for further detail on configuring the BACnet MS/TP network or
changing baud rates, etc.
