PRODUCT OVERVIEW
General Information
The BACnet Flow Controller (BFC) is a BTL listed DDC fan controller designed specifically for controlling flow through Fan Filter
Units (FFU) with EC motor technology. The BFC controls an EC motor through a local setpoint which is adjustable using a push
button interface on the BFC, by an analog BAS input voltage, or over BACnet.
In addition to fan control, the BFC can monitor filter pressure drop, filter loading, signal for filter changes, monitor the motor and
filter lifetime in hours, as well as report airflow and air temperature over the filter. This information can be viewed from the LCD
screen on the front of the BFC controller, or over BACnet on a building management system.
NOTE: This manual only covers the BFC controller. For troubleshooting an ECM motor, please visit http://www.priceindustries.com

Network Wire Specifications WIRING
For the BACnet MS/TP network
specific wire is required. Do not use
standard power or “thermostat” wire.
This wire does not have the necessary PIN 1
requirements for digital communications.
While it’s possible it may work
(temporarily) the network will be PIN 2
unreliable and not operating at optimal.

to a secure, accessible surface.
2. Hang the Price PRTU-WEB onto the DIN rail using the
TOP white clips.
3. Using the Price Electronics screwdriver, gently pull down
on the BLACK clip, while pushing gently on the WEB-
SERVER towards the DIN rail. The Price Web Server
should click securely into place. Back vi

NETWORKING & SETUP
BAS Input Signal
The BAS input signal overrides the local setpoint using a remote 0 – 10VDC signal. If the BAS signal drops below 1VDC local
control (via the push buttons) is restored.
BAS Voltage Response Notes

0-1 VDC Local control mode using push buttons Local setpoint can be adjusted from 0 – 100% using push buttons
1-2 VDC Motor Off Recommend sending a 1.5 VDC signal to command motor off
2-9 VDC Modulating Control 2 – 9 VDC modulates motor from 0 – 100%
9-10 VDC Maximum Speed Motor is running at maximum speed (100%)
BAS equations exist in each fan powered terminal product service and installation manual to relate CFM to volts DC. The VDC in
the equations however are for the 1-5 volt scale of voltage measured across the manual mode POT taps. The BAS input voltage is
a 2-10 VDC scale, and therefore VDC calculated for a given CFM using the equation must be doubled to achieve that cfm using
the BAS input. See standard speed controller BAS section for an example of calculating the voltage required for a specific CFM.
If the BFC will be connected to BACnet, the BACnet motor speed setpoint will override both the BAS analog input, and the local
setpoint for motor speed control.
Motor speed setpoint priorities are:
1. BACnet
2. BAS analog signal
3. Local setpoint adjust

NETWORKING & SETUP
Analog RPM Feedback
A two wire connection supplies an analog (0-10 VDC) signal that is directly proportional to the MOTOR 1 RPM. The range is 0 –
2500 RPM and it will output a proportional 0 – 10 VDC signal. If a dual blower system is used, only the RPM of motor 1 can be
read.
NOTE: The minimum speed of an ECM is approximately 250 RPM. Formula for outputs below (tolerance +/- 5%):
• VDC output = (RPM /250)
• Rpm = (VDC * 250)
Output signal: 0 – 10 VDC @ 20 k ohm minimum input impedance and is short circuit protected (output impedance is 511 ohm to
protect against incorrect wiring).
• Black Wire – Analog RPM output com (-)
• White Wire – Analog RPM output signal (+)

NETWORKING & SETUP
Wiring and Cables
*For In depth ECM motor troubleshooting, please refer to ECM Troubleshooting Manual on Price Industries’ website.
The ECM speed controller requires 24 VAC power from a transformer and outputs control signals to the ECM motor on dual MTA-
100 jacks. Either jack or both jacks can be used (for dual fan systems).
The control cable (with RED connector) must be plugged into the circuit board correctly. (See Figure 2)
FIGURE 2 - ECM STANDARD SPEED CONTROLLER WITH CONTROL CABLE PLUGGED INTO MTR1
MTR1 JACK
ECM CONTROL CABLE (NOTE: ORIENTATION)
NOTE: Make sure that this cable is connected properly. It is keyed one way, and make sure all of the pins are covered.

MAINTENANCE
Troubleshooting
Fault Solution
Binary Outputs not functioning The Binary outputs send out 24VAC and are factory wired to the LED on the FFU. Make sure the BFC has
24VAC power, and then check voltage at binary outputs and COM terminals if the LED does not light up.
Analog Outputs not functioning The Analog outputs send out 0-10VDC. Make sure the BFC has 24VAC power, and then check voltage at
the suspect analog output with a multimeter. You should see a voltage range of 0-10VDC.
BACnet Communication Errors Option #1
BACnet - MS/TP is based on a RS-485 network. It must be wired in a daisy chain configuration. A daisy
chain means that there is only one main cable, and every network device is connected directly along its path.
DO NOT use Star, Bus, “T”, or any other type of network configuration. Any of these other network
configurations will result in an unreliable network, and make troubleshooting almost impossible.
Correct polarity is imperative on MSTP wiring. Always ensure that the positive terminal on a device has
the same color wire connected to it throughout the network, same for the negative terminal.Eg. 2 wire
conductor with black and white wires – black to the positive terminal, and white to the negative terminal.
Keep this consistency throughout the network.
Option #2
Price does not use EOL or termination on their devices. Terminating a device is almost never required
at the low baud rate of MS/TP devices. In fact terminating can create more problems than it solves.
The network speed or baud rate must be the same throughout the network.
NOTE: The default speed for Price BACnet MS/TP controls is 76800. BACnet MS/TP currently supports
4 standard speeds which are: 9600, 19200, 38400 and 76800.
Option #3
Binary Address must be unique for each device on the network. No two devices can have the same
Address. This includes if you are incorporating a Price product into an existing network. Determine
the existing Addressing scheme for the existing network. The Address is set on the Addressable dip
switches on the UMCB.
Option #4
Grounding and 24VAC polarity: Proper grounding is absolutely essential when wiring the MS/TP
BACnet Network. Proper grounding will prevent many potential problems that can occur in a network
of devices. Common symptoms of a poorly grounded network can include inconsistent BACnet MS/
TP communications and damage from voltage spikes. The most practical method of grounding is to
ground every 24VAC transformer common/neutral used to power the controls.
Connect the “common/neutral” wire of the SECONDARY side of the transformer to earth ground –
such as the ground screw on in the electrical box.
Option #5
NOTE: Flipping 24VAC HOT and COMMON will cause the BACnet MS/TP Network to stop
communicating!!! Ensure HOT and COMMON are not reversed on ANY controllers.
WARNING: Controllers will still power up and run even if HOT and COMMON are reversed. However
output signals to other devices such as heaters, relays, etc will not work as intended!
