1.2 Certification
1.2.1 BTL Mark –BACnet Testing Laboratory
2
The BTL Mark on QuickServer is a symbol that indicates that a product has
passed a series of rigorous tests conducted by an independent laboratory
which verifies that the product correctly implements the BACnet features
claimed in the listing. The mark is a symbol of a high-quality BACnet product.
Go to www.BACnetInternational.net for more information about the BACnet
Testing Laboratory. Click here for the BACnet PIC Statement.
1.2.2 LonMark Certification
2
BACnet is a registered trademark of ASHRAE.
LonMark International is the recognized authority for certification, education,
and promotion of interoperability standards for the benefit of manufacturers,
integrators and end users. LonMark International has developed extensive
product certification standards and tests to provide the integrator and user
with confidence that products from multiple manufacturers utilizing LonMark
devices work together. MSA Safety has more LonMark Certified gateways
than any other gateway manufacturer, including the QuickServer,
ProtoCessor, ProtoCarrier and ProtoNode for OEM applications and the full
featured, configurable gateways.

2.1 Mounting
The following mounting options are available:
•Product comes with tabs for wall or surface mount. These can be snapped off if not required.
•DIN rail mounting bracket –Included in the accessory kit or ordered separately
(part # FS-8915-35-QS).
WARNING: Install only as instructed, failure to follow the installation guidelines or using screws
without the DIN rail mounting bracket could result in permanent damage to the product. If
the FieldServer is removed from the DIN rail, use the original screws to reattach. Only
screws supplied by MSA Safety should be used in the holes found on the back of the unit
when attaching the optional DIN Rail bracket. USE OF ANY OTHER SCREWS MAY
DAMAGE THE UNIT.

2.3 R2 Port Jumper Settings
Gently remove the QuickServer enclosure to access the jumpers on the unit.
2.3.1 RS-485 Port
NOTE: The following Sections only apply to QuickServer models: FS-QS-1011 and FS-QS-1211.
Bias Resistors
The QuickServer bias resistors are used to keep the RS-485 bus to a known state, when there is no
transmission on the line (bus is idling), to help prevent false bits of data from being detected. The bias
resistors typically pull one line high and the other low - far away from the decision point of the logic.
In the RS-485 carrier, the bias resistor is 510 ohms which is in line with the BACnet spec. It should only be
enabled at one point on the bus (on the field port were there are very weak bias resistors of 100k). Since
there are no jumpers, many FieldServers can be put on network without running into the bias resistor limit
which is < 500 ohms.
NOTE: See www.ni.com/support/serial/resinfo.htm for additional pictures and notes.
Bias Resistor Jumper
Figure 5: Bias Resistor Jumper

Equipment Setup
QuickServer Start-up Guide 14
Termination Resistor
Termination resistors are also used to reduce noise. These pull the two lines of an idle bus together.
However, they would override the effect of any bias resistors, if connected.

Equipment Setup
QuickServer Start-up Guide 15
Power Jumper Settings
The QuickServer Carrier Board power jumper is set to position A by default but can be changed to
position B for other power supply requirements.
Position A: The Carrier makes use of a full-wave rectifying bridge. Can be used for 12-24VAC input or
9 –30VDC input. At 9VDC this becomes marginal.
Position B: The Carrier makes use of a half-wave rectifying bridge. Best position for grounded AC
transformers and for using DC voltage down to 9VDC.

2.3.2 M-Bus Port: Master/Slave Jumper
NOTE: The following only applies to models: FS-QS-1A50, FS-QS-1A51, FS-QS-1B51, FS-QS-1B51,
FS-QS-1C51 and FS-QS-1C51.
The Master/Slave jumper is used to set the M-Bus hardware as a Master or Slave device (indicated by the
labels on the board).

2.4 R1 Port Small DIP Switches
Gently remove the QuickServer enclosure to access the small DIP switches for the R1 Port.
1.1.1 RS-485 Port
NOTE: The following only applies to QuickServer models FS-QS-1XX0 or all non-LonWorks
models.
•If more than one RS-485 device is connected to the network, then the field bias resistor switch
needs to be enabled to ensure proper communication. See Figure 9 for the orientation of switch
positions referenced below.
oThe default factory setting is OFF (switch position = right side)
oTo enable biasing, turn the bias switch ON (switch position = left side)
NOTE: Biasing only needs to be enabled on one device. The QuickServer has 510-ohm resistors
that are used to set the biasing.
•If the FieldServer is the last device on the trunk, then the end of line (EOL) termination switch needs
to be enabled. See Figure 9 for the orientation of switch positions referenced below.
oThe default factory setting is OFF (switch position = right side)
oTo enable the EOL termination, turn the EOL switch ON (switch position = left side)
