Introduction
The Unitary Controller (UNT) is an electronic device for digital control of
packaged air handling units, unit ventilators, fan coils, heat pumps, and
other terminal units serving a single zone or room. It also can be
configured as a generic Input/Output (I/O) device for basic point
monitoring applications when used within a Metasys® Network.
You can easily configure point inputs and outputs, and software features to
control a wide variety of Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning
(HVAC) equipment applications. The UNT may be used as a standalone
controller or connected to the Metasys Network through a Network
Control Module (NCM) or Companion.
When connected to the Metasys Network, the UNT provides all point
control information to the rest of the network. The devices communicate
through an N2 Bus. For a smaller facility, the UNT can function as a
standalone controller. Figure 1 illustrates the UNT.

Installation Procedures
Instructions for installing the UNT and its accessories are detailed in this
section. The number and types of components (sensors and actuators) used
with the UNT will vary according to application. Analyze the proposed
installation for logical locations to place these devices and draw an
inventory based on that study. Information on available accessory devices
is in the Ordering Information section of this technical bulletin.
Decide how close the UNT can be to the air handling equipment while still
allowing adequate room for installation and maintenance accessibility.
Also take into consideration any existing power sources or communication
lines. The UNT must be secured to a solid wall and not to any vibrating
surface.
IMPORTANT: Do not mount the UNT near high voltage or
electrically noisy devices. Refer to Appendix A:
Precautions for Rooftop Installations.
For a typical installation, you need the following:
•HVAC PRO for Windows software, current release
•IBM® PC-compatible laptop computer
•Microsoft® Windows® (3.xx or 95)
•AS-CBLPRO-2 (for Zone Bus downloading, uploading, and
commissioning) or MM-CVT101-0 (for N2 downloading, uploading,
and commissioning)
•two screwdrivers (1/8 in. and 1/4 in. flat-blade)
•drill
•(optional) AS-ZTU100-1 (Zone Terminal unit)
Note: The AS-ZTU100-1supports both AS-UNTxxx-0 and
AS-UNTxxx-1models. The AS-ZTU100-0supports
AS-UNTxxx-0models only.

The installation site of the UNT must meet the following environmental
standards:
•The atmosphere must be free of explosive vapors and escaping gases.
•The atmosphere must be free of exposure to corrosive chemical or salt
vapors that might damage electrical equipment.
•For UNT100/101, UNT110/111, and UNT140/141 series
controllers, the temperature must be maintained between
0 and 52°C (32 and 125°F) with relative humidity (non-condensing)
maintained between 10 and 90 percent.
•For UNT120/121 series controllers used with outdoor rooftop
applications, the temperature must be maintained between
-40 and 52°C (-40 and 125°F) with relative humidity maintained
between 10 and 90 percent. Some intermittent condensation is
tolerable. This operating temperature range is possible in the
UNT120/121 series controllers due to the heater, coated circuit board,
and BZ-1000-7 size enclosure.
The UNT is commonly packaged either in an enclosure provided by the
installation contractor, or in an AS-ENC100-0 or EN-EWC10-0 enclosure.
The UNT140/141-101 and UNT110/111-101 come mounted in an EWC10
enclosure with a 50 VA transformer. The controller requires a flat
mounting surface area to match its dimensions.
The UNT controller has the following dimensions:
•165 x 163 x 56 mm (6.5 x 6.4 x 2.2 in.) H x W x D without enclosure
•173 x 185 x 119 mm (6.8 x 7.3 x 4.7 in.) H x W x D with the
AS-ENC100-0 enclosure
•229 x 406 x 191 mm (9.0 x 16.0 x 7.5 in.) H x W x D with the
EWC10 or UNTxxx-101 version
Allow enough room to install the enclosure and conduit for wiring
terminations to the controller.

The UNT120/121 low temperature rated controller must be installed in an
enclosure as suggested below, unless it is mounted within the enclosed,
low voltage electrical compartment of the mechanical unit being
controlled. The BZ-1000-7 enclosure is the common package for a
UNT120/121 mounted in the air stream or in the mixed air chamber of a
mechanical unit.
The BZ-1000-7 enclosure is the recommended size for optimum
performance of the UNT120/121. Venting the BZ-1000 enclosure
(possibly removing unused knockouts), using the AS-ENC100-0 or
EN-EWC10-0, or using a larger enclosure is recommended for
environments that regularly exceed 32°C (95°F).
The UNT120/121 series controller has the following dimensions:
•165 x 163 x 56 mm (6.5 x 6.4 x 2.2 in.) H x W x D without enclosure
•259 x 249 x 76 mm (10.2 x 9.8 x 3 in.) H x W x D with the
BZ-1000-7 enclosure
•229 x 406 x 191 mm (9.0 x 16.0 x 7.5 in.) H x W x D with the
EWC10 or UNTxxx-101 version
Before installation, position the controller and enclosure on the proposed
mounting surface to ensure that the calculated mounting area is correct.
Precise distance measurements can be made between controller terminals
and sensor/actuator mounting points on the air handling equipment if the
equipment is in place. Confirm electrical power source and conduit
requirements at this time.
Note: You can install a UNT100/101, UNT110/111, or UNT140/141
series controller in a control panel, or in an AS-ENC100-0 or
EN-EWC10-0 enclosure. You must enclose the UNT120/121
series controller in a BZ-1000-7 enclosure or another enclosure of
comparable dimensions.
Mount the UNT in a convenient location using the predrilled mounting
holes. The controller must be mounted vertically on a wall or panel where
it can be easily wired through the enclosure cover. This also applies to
remote location packages.

16 UNT Controller—Unitary Controller (UNT)
The standard UNT, when powered by any typical separate isolation
transformer or stepdown transformer, operates reliably in an electrical
environment defined as Location Category A by the IEEE 587 Standard;
that is, when installed more than 30 feet from electrical distribution
panels or major bus and feeder systems in industrial plants.
IEEE 587 Location Category A power line surge/noise level is specified at
6 kV, 500 A (Normal Mode Ringwave).
The UNT exceeds the Category A specification by meeting these surge
levels as well:
IEEE-587 style Common Mode Pulse 3 kV
IEEE-587 style Normal Mode Pulse 1.5 kV
IEEE-472 style Common Mode Ringwave 1.5 kV
IEEE-472 style Normal Mode Ringwave 500 V
When the controller is installed within 9 m (30 ft) of electrical distribution
panels or major bus and feeder systems in industrial plants, you must take
further precautions to prevent unwanted binary output cycling, resetting,
or other possible controller malfunctions. This electrical environment is
defined as Location Category B by the IEEE 587 Standard.
You can use the following method to prevent electrical noise from
adversely affecting the controller:
•Connect an MOV (Metal Oxide Varistor) across the UNT supply
transformer primary. The MOV must be rated appropriately for the
line voltage. Use the list in Table 4 to select the correct MOV sold
through your electronics parts distributor.
The UNT meets the following power line surge/noise standards when you
correctly apply the MOV as described.
IEEE-587 Common Mode Pulse 1.5 kV
Normal Mode Pulse 6 kV
Normal Mode Ringwave 6 kV
IEEE-472 Common Mode Ringwave 1.5 kV
Normal Mode Ringwave 500 V
Note: The 50 VA split bobbin transformer in the EWC15 or -101 model
UNT provides additional surge/noise immunity.

Wiring Details
This section details the special precautions and grounding procedures you
must observe when installing the UNT.
!
WARNING: Possible Equipment Damage or Electrical Shock.
To avoid damaging equipment or suffering electrical
shock, ensure that all power supplies to the system
have been disconnected prior to wiring installation.
The Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor
(CMOS) circuits used in the controller are static
sensitive. Use static protection (anti-static) mats
and/or grounding straps when working on or near
internal circuitry.
The power transformer used must comply with:
•CSA 22.2 No. 205
•NEMA ICS 2, Part 2, 230
The power to each UNT must be limited to 3 amperes or less. However, if
you use one low voltage power trunk to power multiple controllers,
follow these precautions:
•Ensure that polarity is maintained at each 24 VAC connection.
•Enclose 24 VAC power trunks with greater than 4 amperes (100 VA)
in conduit as required by the National Electric Code (NEC).
•Do not share a UNT’s power transformer with a Companion Panel or
any other device with a full-wave rectifier in its power supply. (UNTs
use “half-wave” rectification. Half-wave circuitry and full-wave
circuitry must not share the same transformer.)
•Consider all the actual loads as well as the basic load of the controller
when determining the system load.
Notes: Some local electrical codes require that the secondary common of
the stepdown transformer be connected to earth ground (typically
on units which are powered by greater than 150 VAC).
The M100 draws 20 VA if using common power for the controller
and the M100 actuator. It is recommended that each M100 use its
own 24 VAC isolation transformer.
Power Source
and Loads

20 UNT Controller—Unitary Controller (UNT)
IMPORTANT: Any individual binary output (triac) can drive up to
800 mA when you limit the total 24 VAC power
draw. You must limit the power draw of a controller
and its load to avoid heat dissipation problems.
The total 24 VAC power draw of a UNT installed in
an ENC100 or similar size box must be limited to a
maximum of 40 VA.
The total 24 VAC power draw of a UNT mounted in
an open air environment must be limited to a
maximum of 75 VA.
Tables 5 and 6 will assist you in determining the total 24 VAC power
draw of your system.
Table 5: UNT Power and Load Specifications
System Loads Power Draw
UNT with Sensors/Transmitters 10 VA (400 mA)
25 VA for UNT120/121 (due to heater)
BO Load
Relay, Contactor, Solenoid, Incremental Actuator*
Maximum allowable load for any individual binary
output (triac) is 19 VA** (800 mA at 24 VAC).
Minimum required load for each binary output
(triac) used is 1.2 VA (50 mA at 24 VAC).
Relay loads less than 50 mA may cause triac/relay
chattering. If necessary, use a 1k ohm, 2 watt
resistor across the relay coil.
Triac BOs cannot drive loads which use DC
currents, such as a device which has a full-wave
rectifier. Triacs can drive only AC resistive or
inductive loads, i.e., AC relays, contactors, and
actuator motors. If the driving of a DC device is
required, a pilot relay must be used to isolate the
triac.
Refer to specific product
documentation.
AO Load
Actuator
Maximum allowable load for each AO is 10 mA
@ 10 VDC with a minimum load resistance of
1,000 ohms.
See Table 6.
Zone Terminal or CBLPRO 1.2 VA (50 mA)
* Actuator VA requirements found in Table 6.
**With total controller power limited as described previously.
