Chapter 1 – Product Overview Chapter 1 – Product Overview The BACnet Actuating Terminal Equipment Controller (ATEC) is the Siemens Industry FLN controller used in pressure independent Variable Air Volume applications (See the following figure.). It provides Direct Digital Control (DDC) for eight applications, and can operate independently as a stand-alone DDC room controller or networked with a field panel.
The controller is powered by 24 Vac. Power wiring connects to the two screw terminals on the controller labeled “C” (Common) and “H” (Hot) on the terminal block labeled “24 VAC”. No earth ground connection is required. See the following figure. Siemens Industry, Inc. BACnet ATEC Owner's Manaul 125-5050, Rev. AA 4/20/2010...

Chapter 2 – Applications Basic Operation The BACnet ATEC provides Direct Digital Control (DDC) for Variable Air Volume (VAV) terminal box applications. Temperature control varies with the application. If present, heating can be provided by hot water, up to three stages of electric reheat, or optional baseboard radiation.
The heating/cooling switchover determines whether the controller is in heating or cooling mode by monitoring the room temperature and the demand for heating and cooling (as determined by the temperature control loops). Siemens Industry, Inc. BACnet ATEC Owner's Manaul 125-5050, Rev. AA 4/20/2010...
1. If the temperature swings in the room are excessive or if there is trouble in maintaining the setpoint, contact your local Siemens Industry representative for more information. 2. The BACnet ATEC, as shipped from the factory, keeps all associated equipment OFF. The controller and its equipment are released to application control at start-up.
When in heating, the terminal box either maintains minimum airflow or modulates the supply air damper. In order for the terminal box to work properly, the central air- handling unit must provide supply air. See the following figure. Siemens Industry, Inc. BACnet ATEC Owner's Manaul 125-5050, Rev. AA 4/20/2010...
In order for the terminal box to work properly, the central air-handling unit must provide supply air for cooling. See the following figures. Siemens Industry, Inc. BACnet ATEC Owner's Manaul 125-5050, Rev. AA 4/20/2010...

Siemens Industry representative. Basic Service Information Always remove power to the BACnet ATEC when installing or replacing it. Since the controller does not have a power switch, the recommended method of removing power to a locally powered controller is to turn OFF the power to the 24 Vac transformer. The recommended method of removing power to a controller on a power cable (even to service a single controller) is to turn OFF the power at the transformer.
