Network cable and rough-in preparation
Connecting a NetSensor to a controller requires a six-wire cable with
RJ-12 connectors on each end. KMC plenum-rated preassembled
cables are recommended. Cables made to length must meet the
following requirements:
◆Cable length must be no longer than 75 feet (22.9 meters).
◆Cable conductors must be no smaller than #24 AWG.
◆Cable insulation must meet local building codes.
◆Connectors must be appropriate for the cable in use and are
installed following the connector manufacturers instructions.
Complete rough-in wiring at each sensor location prior to sensor
installation. This includes the following:
◆Routing the network cable from the NetSensor to a controller. See
Mounting details on page 6.
◆If required, install the appropriate backplate. See Accessories on
page 3 for model numbers.
Caution
To prevent mounting screw heads from touching the circuit
board in the NetSensor, use only the mounting screws
supplied by KMC Controls. Using screws other than the
type supplied will damage the NetSensor.

Installation
1. Turn the Allen screws in the base of the NetSensor clockwise
until they clear the cover. Swing the sensor away from the
mounting base to remove it
2. Route the RJ-12 cable through the mounting base.
3. Fasten the mounting base directly to a 2 x 4 inch outlet box or a
backplate with the Allen screws toward the floor.
4. Insert the RJ-12 cable coming from the base into the NetSensor.
5. Place the top of the NetSensor over the top of the mounting base
and swing it down over the Allen screw brackets. Be careful not
to pinch any wiring.
6. Back the Allen screws out of the brackets until they engage the
NetSensor cover and hold it in place.

PC data port
The NetSensor is equipped with a PC data port located at the bottom
of the NetSensor housing. This port provides a temporary EIA-485
(formerly RS-485) connection to the digital network for network
setup or troubleshooting.
To use the port to connect to a computer, a means of converting the
EIA-485 signal to a USB or EIA-232 (formerly RS-232) signal will be
needed. The exact connection depends on the computer and the
operator workstation software (see also the instructions included
with those devices and software):
◆For USB (to WinControl or BACstage), use a KMD-5576 USB
Communicator (see the illustration above).
◆For EIA-232 to BACstage, use a third-party interface.
◆For EIA-232 to WinControl, use a KMD-5559 CommTalk and
KMD-5624 cable (or equivalent interface).
To use the PC data port:
1. Connect the keyed, flat end of the KMD-5624 NetSensor
interface cable (included with the KMD-5576 but not the KMD-
5559) to the port on the NetSensor.
2. Connect the RJ-12 end of the cable to the interface device that
converts the EIA-485 signal from the NetSensor into a USB or
EIA-232 signal.
3. Connect the suitable cable from the interface device to the
computer’s serial or USB port. Install any required software and
configure the port as necessary.

Operation
The following sections describe the controls and indicators found on
the NetSensor.
Display The display contains four 0.38-inch, seven-segment LCD
digits that are visible across a normal size office. The display provides
time, temperature, and humidity readouts.
Controls These NetSensors include nine push buttons. Buttons 5
through (virtual) 8 are user programmable and can be reassigned.
(Button “8” comes from simultaneously pressing Buttons 5 and 7.)
The actual operation of the programmable buttons depends upon the
programming in the controller to which the NetSensor is connected.
See Programming on page 9. The display reverts back to the default
room temperature display about ten seconds after the last button
press.
The up and down arrow buttons adjust programmed values (where
applicable) as follows:
1. Press the button for the desired function.
2. Adjust the value up or down.
Maintainence
Remove dust as necessary from holes in top and bottom. Clean the
display with soft, damp cloth and mild soap.

Programming
Program the NetSensor by associating each button with a variable or
value object in the controller to which the NetSensor is connected.
◆See NetSensor button numbers for the button numbers.
◆Table 3-1 lists typical settings for programming a NetSensor with
WinControl. Use the NetSensor dialog found under the Control
Menu to configure each button.
◆Table 3-2 lists typical settings for programming a NetSensor with
BACstage. Use the NetSensor dialog in the Device Menu to
configure each button.

Of the NetSensor’s six rectangular buttons Buttons 5, 6, 7, and
(virtual/auxiliary) 8 are labeled with standard functions, but they are
also user programmable and can be reassigned if desired. (Button “8”
comes from simultaneously pressing Buttons 5 and 7.)
Note
If Button 7 (Humidity) is reassigned, humidity will continue
being shown on the NetSensor’s display. However,
humidity readings will no longer be read by the controller.
Note
The day-of-week and system-time functions are not enabled
in all models of the controllers with which the NetSensor
may operate. Before programming a controller for one of
these features, verify the feature is available in the firmware
history for the controller.
For additional instructions on programming a NetSensor with either
WinControl or BACstage, see the Help system with either program.
