Instructions
Application
The PCA2513 Controller run pre-engineered and user-programmed applications and provides
the inputs and outputs required to monitor and control a wide variety of HVAC and other facility
equipment.
PCA controllers operate on an RS-485 BACnet® MS/TP Bus as BACnet Application Specific
Controllers (B-AACs) and integrate into Johnson Controls and third-party BACnet systems.
Communications protocols
The PCA2513 controller can communicate using BACnet MS/TP or N2. By default, the PCA2513
controller communicates using the standard BACnet MS/TP protocol based on the ANSI/ASHRAE
135-2012. The BACnet protocol is a standard for ANSI, ASHRAE, and the International Standards
Organization (ISO) for building controls.

DIN rail mount applications
Mounting the PCA horizontally on 35 mm DIN rail is the preferred mounting method.
To mount a controller on 35 mm DIN rail, complete the following steps:
1. Securely mount a 20 cm (8 in.) or longer section of 35 mm DIN rail horizontal and centered
in the appropriate location so that the controller mounts in the horizontal position shown in
Figure 1.
2. Pull the two bottom mounting clips outward from the controller to the extended position
(Figure 2).
3. Hang the controller on the DIN rail by the hooks at the top of the (DIN rail) channel on the back
of the controller, and position the controller snugly against the DIN rail.
4. Push the bottom mounting clips inward (up) to secure the controller on the DIN rail.
To remove the controller from the DIN rail, pull the bottom mounting clips out to the extended
position and carefully lift the controller off the DIN rail.
Wall mount applications
To mount a PCA directly on a wall or other flat vertical surface, complete the following steps:
1. Pull the two bottom mounting clips outward and ensure they are locked in the extended
position as shown in Figure 2.
2. Mark the mounting hole locations on the wall using the dimensions in Figure 2 and one of the
mount positions shown in Figure 1. Or hold the controller up to the wall or surface in a proper
mount position and mark the hole locations through the mounting clips.
3. Drill holes in the wall or surface at the marked locations, and insert appropriate wall anchors in
the holes (if necessary).
4. Hold the controller in place, and insert the screws through the mounting clips and into the
holes (or anchors). Carefully tighten all of the screws.
Important: Do not overtighten the mounting screws. Overtightening the screws may
damage the mounting clips.

Note: The SA PWR terminal supplies 15 VDC. The SA PWR terminal can be used to connect
(daisy chain) the 15 VDC power leads on the SA bus.
Sensor port
The Sensor (SA Bus) port on the bottom of the controller (Figure 3) is an RJ-12, 6-position modular
jack that provides a connection for the Mobile Access Portal (MAP) Gateway, the Bluetooth®
Commissioning Converter (BTCVT), the VAV Balancing Tool, specified network sensors, or other SA
Bus devices with RJ-12 plugs.
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.
Note:
The MAP Gateway serves as a replacement for the BTCVT, which is no longer available for pur-
chase, but continues to be supported.

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.
Wire the 24 VAC supply power wires from the transformer to the HOT and COM terminals on the
terminal plug as shown below. Do not use the middle terminal on the supply power terminal block.
See Table 6 for more information about the Supply Terminal Block.
Figure 7: 24 VAC supply power terminal block wiring
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.
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 PCA does not require an earth ground connection.
