SMART-SPACE CONTROLLER™
SMART-SPACE CONTROLLER
The Reliable Controls®SMART-Space Controller™is a fully programmable, BACnet®controller in a
compact, economical wall-mount package.
Three base models provide input/output capacity to match standard single zone HVAC applications
including radiators, reheat coils, fan coils, heat pumps, VVT boxes, and small packaged rooftop units.
FIGURE 1: SMART-SPACE CONTROLLER
• Standalone operation, or part of any BACnet MS/TP network
• Programmable BACnet schedule with onboard real-time clock and optional
capacitor backup
• Three base models with different input/output configurations ranging from 2
inputs and 2 outputs up to 3 inputs and 4 outputs, plus an onboard temperature
sensor and optional humidity, occupancy, and CO2 sensors
• Optional Degrees switch allows selection of oC or oF display units
• Fully programmable, with up to four programs, 2000 bytes each.
• Ventilated base-plate and latching relays minimize on-board heating and allow
for accurate room temperature readings.
• Display/adjust up to 10 points via the LCD screen
• 5-year warranty

NEW FOR REVISION E
This manual describes the operation of hardware Revision E of the SMART-Space
Controller series. There are several significant advances in Revision E hardware as
compared to the previous Revision C. There was no Revision D. The most significant
changes are listed below.
Two Firmware Versions!!!
Due to the changes in microprocessor and memory with Revision E hardware, the
firmware required for Revision E and pre-Revision E SMART-Space Controllers are NOT
compatible. Revision C Firmware will be required for Revision C and earlier controllers.
Revision E firmware will be required for Revision E and newer controllers.
• An optional CO2 sensor was made available.
• A thicker back-plate was added to provide more venting and more room for
models with the -CO2 option.
• Earlier hardware revisions all used TRIACs for their two-position outputs. The
TRIACS have been replaced with latching relays with superior in-rush rating and
less heat generation. This change also allows the SMART-Space Controller to
switch DC loads and loads with current draw below 20 mA if required. The
actual output wiring connections have not changed.
• The EOL jumper has been replaced with a more convenient EOL switch.
• Revision E hardware includes a faster microprocessor, with more RAM and
Flash (refer to the specifications section at the end of this User Guide).
• The maximum Control-BASIC program size has been increased from 1000 bytes
to 2000 bytes.
• The BACnet schedule in the Revision E SSC database can handle four start/stop
pairs per weekday, and 8 special events.

Model Details
SMART-Space Controller (SSC)
• 1 space temperature sensor (10k Ωthermistor)
• 2 universal inputs, jumper selectable as thermistor/dry contact,
0–10 VDC, or 4–20 mA
• 2 outputs, jumper selectable as universal or relay
SMART-Space Controller Package (SSCP)
• 1 space temperature sensor (10k Ωthermistor)
• 3 universal inputs, jumper selectable as thermistor/dry contact,
0–10 VDC, or 4–20 mA
• Output 1 is jumper selectable as universal or relay
• Outputs 2, 3, and 4 are fixed relay (relay outputs on this model
switch 24 VAC controller power directly to relay output terminals)
SMART-Space Controller Enhanced (SSCE)
• 1 space temperature sensor (10k Ωthermistor)
• 3 universal inputs, jumper selectable as thermistor/dry contact,
0–10 VDC, or 4–20 mA
• Outputs 1 and 2 are jumper selectable as universal or relay
• Outputs 3 and 4 are fixed relay (relay outputs on this model switch
separate, externally powered 24 VAC circuits)

OPTIONS
In addition to the inputs and outputs listed above, Table 1 lists the options that are
available in any combination for all models.
For available standard models please refer to the Reliable Controls Engineering Submittal
sheet of the SMART-Space Controller.
To assemble a complete model number, the option codes are appended to the base
model number in order of -C, -D, -H, -OC, -CO2, and /W. Table 2 details two model
examples.
OUTPUT TYPES AND RANGES
Output types are either universal or relay. Universal outputs produce 0–12 VDC, with
modulating or two-position ranges configured using RC-Studio®. Relay outputs provide
normally open dry contacts that can switch sustained AC or DC loads up to 0.5 Amps. Note
that for SSCP models, the relay outputs can only switch the power supplied to the
controller. For example, if the controller is supplied with AC power, than the relay outputs
provide switched 24 VAC.

Option Description
-C Real-time clock with 72-hour capacitor backup
-CO2 0-2000 ppm CO2 sensor

UNIVERSAL INPUT RANGES
Universal inputs are configured with analog or binary ranges using RC-Studio.
REAL TIME CLOCK
Models with the Real Time Clock option come with a 72-hour backup capacitor. By default,
Jumper 10 (J10) is connected as shown in Figure 5. This jumper (also labelled Clear
memory) connects the 72-hour backup capacitor to the SMART-Space Controller circuitry.
By unplugging J10 (and with no external power applied) volatile memory contents, date,
and time will be cleared. The memory content that would be lost includes:
• Trend data (logs and runtime),
• Calculated variable values, and
• Calculated output values.
Jumper 10 must be installed for the capacitor power backup to function. Failure to install
Jumper 10 will result in data loss in the event of a power failure.

INSTALLATION
TOOLS
In addition to the tools required for mounting the SMART-Space Controller, the following
tools are required:
• Flat-blade instrument screwdriver with 2 mm (0.08") wide blade for wire terminal
screws, and
• 1/16" Allen key for the Allen screws that lock the SMART-Space Controller head to
the backplate.
The SMART-Space Controller terminals require a screwdriver with a narrower blade than
most conventional instrument screwdrivers. A specialized screwdriver with a 2 mm blade is
available from Reliable Controls.
