Part No. 24-10143-144, Rev. L
Issued November 2017
Refer to the QuickLIT website for the most up-to-date version of this document.
Application
The FEC26 controllers are part of the Metasys®system
Field Equipment Controller (FEC) family. These
controllers run pre-engineered and user-programmed
applications and provide the inputs and outputs required
to monitor and control a wide variety of HVAC and other
facility equipment.
The FEC controllers operate on an RS-485 BACnet®
Master-Slave/Token-Passing (MS/TP) Bus as BACnet
Application Specific Controllers (B-ASCs) and integrate
into Johnson Controls®and third-party BACnet systems.
The FEC26 controller is available with or without an
integral LCD and push button user interface.
Important: In Metasys system smoke control
applications, use only the MS-FEC2611-0U
and MS-FEC2621-0U at Metasys Release
8.1 that are UL 864 UUKL/UUKLC 10th
Edition Smoke Control Listed. For Metasys
system smoke control applications, you
must refer to the Metasys System UL 864
UUKL Tenth Edition Smoke Control System
Technical Bulletin (LIT-12012487) for
detailed requirements and procedures for
installing, commissioning, and operating UL
864 UUKL Listed Metasys system devices.
The UL 864 UUKL listing for Smoke Control
Equipment is voided if (1) you do not use
the required software tools at the required
versions; or (2) you do not meet the
requirements or do not follow the
procedures as documented in the Metasys
System UL 864 UUKL Tenth Edition Smoke
Control System Technical Bulletin
(LIT-12012487).
Switchable Communications
Protocols
By default, the Metasys®system FEC Family Controllers
and network sensors communicate using either the
standard BACnet protocol based on the ANSI/ASHRAE
135-2004, or the BACnet/IP protocol.
The BACnet protocol is a standard for ANSI, ASHRAE,
and the International Standards Organization (ISO) for
building controls.
FEC, VMA16, VMA18, and most IOM field controllers are
BTL-listed as BACnet Application Specific Controllers
(B-ASCs). FAC Field Controllers and the VMA1930 Field
Controller are BTL-listed as BACnet Advanced Application
Controllers (B-AACs). The NS Series Sensors are
BTL-listed as BACnet Smart Sensors (B-SSs).
Release 10.1 and later of the Controller Configuration
Tool (CCT) can be used to switch the Field Bus
communications protocol in supported FEC Family Field
Controllers to be either the standard BACnet MS/TP or
the N2 protocol. All new controllers use BACnet MS/TP
as the default communications protocol. Switchable
communications protocols in the MS/TP models provide
a cost-effective upgrade and modernization path for
customers with existing N2 controllers.
The N2-capable FEC Family Controllers can be used as
functional replacements for legacy N2 controllers. The
N2-capable FEC Family Controllers:
• have the input and output (I/O) quantities and
characteristics of the FEC Family Controllers
• must be programmed with CCT, which has similar,
but not identical programming capabilities as
HVACPro, GX9100, GPL, and other legacy tools
• support SA Bus devices
• support WRZ wireless sensors from the controller
using the WRZ-7860 receiver (most models)
•are available in Buy American versions (most models)
• are listed for UL864 UUKL/UUKLC (some models).
N2 is supported as part of the Metasys®Tenth Edition
listing for Smoke Control System Equipment. For
details, refer to the Metasys System UL 864 10th
Edition UUKL/ORD-C100-13 UUKLC Smoke Control
System Technical Bulletin (LIT-12012487).
The N2-capable controllers:
• do not support Zone Bus (for example, TMZ sensors
and M100 actuators) or XT-Bus (System 91) devices
(for example, XT, XTM, and XP modules)
• do not support a wireless connection to the N2 bus
• do not support NxE passthrough

FC Bus Port
The FC bus port on the front of the controller is an RJ-12,
6-position modular jack that provides a connection for
the Wireless Commissioning Converter, or ZFR/ZFR Pro
Wireless Field Bus Router.
The FC bus port is connected internally to the FC bus
terminal block. See Comm Bus and Power Supply
Terminal Block Rating and Requirements Table for more
information. The FC bus Port pin assignment is shown
in Figure 6.
Figure 6: Pin Number Assignments for Sensor,
FC Bus, and SA Bus Ports on Controllers
Sensor Port
The Sensor (SA Bus) port on the bottom of the controller
() is an RJ-12, 6-position modular jack that provides a
connection for the Wireless Commissioning Converter,
the VAV Balancing Tool, specified network sensors, or
other SA Bus devices with RJ-12 plugs.
When the FEC is configured for N2 communication, the
SA Bus port must be used to download and commission
the controller. A DIS1710 Local Controller Display also
can be connected to the SA Bus port (but only on FEC
models without integral display and push buttons).
The Sensor port is connected internally to the SA bus
terminal block. See Table 6 for more information. The
Sensor Port pin assignment is shown in Figure 6.
Supply Power Terminal Block
The 24 VAC supply power terminal block is a gray,
removable, 3-terminal plug that fits into a board-mounted
jack on the top right of the controller.

Note: The supply power wire colors may be different on
transformers from other manufacturers. Refer to
the transformer manufacturer’s instructions and
the project installation drawings for wiring details.
6FEC26 Field Equipment Controllers Installation Instructions

Important: Connect 24 VAC supply power to the
controller and all other network devices so
that transformer phasing is uniform across
the network devices. Powering network
devices with uniform 24 VAC supply power
phasing reduces noise, interference, and
ground loop problems. The field controller
does not require an earth ground
connection.
Wireless Network Applications
The controller can also be installed in a wireless
application using a ZFR/ZFR Pro Wireless Field Bus
Router.
Important: Wireless operation is not approved for
smoke control applications. Refer to the
Metasys System UL 864 UUKL Tenth
Edition Smoke Control System Technical
Bulletin (LIT-12012487) for detailed
requirements and procedures for installing,
commissioning, and operating UL 864
UUKL/UUKLC Listed Metasys system
devices.
To configure a controller for use with the ZFR/ZFR Pro
Series Wireless Field Bus system:
1. Wire the input/output terminals and SA bus.
Note: In wireless network applications, do not
connect any wires to the FC bus terminal
block. (Connect the SA/FC terminal block on
an IOM to an SA bus only.)
2. Connect the ZFR/ZFR Pro Wireless Field Bus Router
to the FC bus port (RJ-12 modular jack) on the front
of the controller.
3. Ensure that the controller's device address DIP
switches are set to the correct device address. See
Setting the Device Addresses.
4. Set DIP switch 128 to ON, which enables wireless
operation on the field controller.

Functions, Ratings, and
Requirements
Input and Output Wiring Guidelines
Table 4 provides information and guidelines about the
functions, ratings, and requirements for the controller
input and output terminals; it also references guidelines
for determining proper wire sizes and cable lengths.
In addition to the wiring guidelines in Table 4, observe
these guidelines when wiring controller inputs and
outputs:
• Run all low-voltage wiring and cables separate from
high-voltage wiring.
• All input and output cables, regardless of wire size or
number of wires, should consist of stranded, insulated,
and twisted copper wires.
• Shielded cable is not required for input or output
cables.
• Shielded cable is recommended for input and output
cables that are exposed to high electromagnetic or
radio frequency noise.
• Inputs/outputs with cables less than 30 m (100 ft)
typically do not require an offset in the software setup.
Cable runs over 30 m (100 ft) may require an offset
in the input/output software setup.

SA/FC Bus and Supply Power
Wiring Guidelines
Table 6 provides information about the functions, ratings,
and requirements for the communication bus and supply
power terminals; and guidelines for wire sizes, cable
types, and cable lengths when wiring the controller's
communication buses and supply power.
In addition to the guidelines in Table 6, observe these
guidelines when wiring an SA or FC bus and the 24 VAC
supply power:
• Run all low-voltage wiring and cables separate from
high-voltage wiring.
• All SA and FC bus cables, regardless of wire size,
should be twisted, insulated, stranded copper wire.
• Shielded cable is strongly recommended for all SA
and FC bus cables.
•Refer to the MS/TP Communications Bus Technical
Bulletin (LIT-12011034) for detailed information
regarding wire size and cable length requirements for
the SA and FC buses.

Setup and Adjustments
Setting the Device Addresses
Metasys®field controllers are master devices on MS/TP
(SA or FC) buses. Before operating field controllers on
a bus, you must set a valid and unique device address
for each controller on the bus. You set a controller's
device address by setting the positions of the switches
on the DIP switch block at the top of the controller (Figure
1). Device addresses 4 through 127 are the valid
addresses for these controllers.
The DIP switch block has eight switches numbered 128,
64, 32, 16, 8, 4, 2, and 1 (Figure 9). Switches 64 through
1 are device address switches. Switch 128 is a mode
switch that enables a controller to operate on a ZFR/ZFR
Pro Series Wireless Field Bus. Switch 128 must be set
to off for all hard-wired SA and FC bus applications. Set
switch 128 to ON for wireless FC bus applications only.
Figure 9: Device Address DIP Switch Block Set to
Address 21
Note: Metasys field controllers ship with switch 128 ON
and the remaining address switches off rendering
the controllers wired slave devices, which do not
operate on MS/TP buses, but will not interfere
with bus operation. Set a valid and unique device
address on the controller before applying power
to the controller on the bus.
To set the device addresses on Metasys field controllers:
1. Set all of the switches on the address DIP switch
block (128 through 1) to OFF.
2. Set one or more of the seven address switches (64
though 1) to ON, so that the sum of the switch
numbers set to ON equals the intended device
address. See Table 7.
Set the highest number switch that is less than or
equal to the intended device address to ON. Then
continue setting lower-numbered switches until the
total equals the intended address. For example, if the
intended device address is 21, set switch 16 to ON
first, then set switch 4 ON, followed by switch 1
(16+4+1= 21). See Figure 9.
3. Set switch 128 to ON only for controllers on a
ZFR/ZFR Pro Series Wireless Field Bus application.
For all hard-wired SA and FC bus applications, ensure
that switch 128 is set to OFF.
Note: Do not connect a controller with switch 128
set to ON to an active (hard-wired) SA or FC
bus. When a controller with switch 128 set to
ON and a device address from 4 to 127 is
connected to a wired field bus, the entire field
bus is rendered inoperable until the controller
is disconnected or switch 128 is set to OFF.
Note: Refer to the WNC1800/ZFR182x Pro Series
Wireless Field Bus System Technical Bulletin
(LIT-12012356) for more information on device
addresses in wireless applications.
4. Set a unique and sequential device address for each
of the controllers connected on the SA or FC bus
starting with device address 4.
To ensure the best bus performance, set sequential
device addresses with no gaps in the device address
range (4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and so on). The controllers do
not need to be physically connected on the bus in
their numerical device address order.
5. Write each field controller's device address on the
white label below the DIP switch block on the
controller's cover.
Table 7 describes the FC bus and SA bus devices
addresses for Johnson Controls MS/TP
communications bus applications.
