[ILM] 104E Flashcards
standard connection for two-pipe controller
supply - 20 psi
branch 0-20 psi
the controllers mount on a wall in the centre of an air-conditioned zone and at or slightly below eye level
T or F
True
standard connection for three-pipe controller
supply - 20 psi
branch 0-20 psi
sensor 3 - 15 psi
three-pipe controllers are usually in a secure control cabinet that only trained technicians can access
T or F
True
3 different BAS system designs are:
- centralized supervisory control systems - oldest
- centralized direct digital control systems
- distributed direct digital control systems -newest
analog output signals from the CPU to the actuator usually range from
0-20mA
0-5vdc
0-10vdc
BAS networking
- Lontalk
- BACnet
- Modbus
pneumatic controller
requires 20 psig supply of clean, dry, oil-less air
outputs a signal range of between 3 - 15 psi
Pressure Reducing Valve
reduce the high pressures in the compressor and receiver to the supply pressure that the pneumatic system components require.
The compressor provides 60-90 psi compressed air, whereas the pneumatic control components in commercial buildings require approx. 20 psi for proper operation
zone valve
heating valves -> normally open (default)
cooling valves -> normally closed (default)
BAS CPU controllers are often hidden or installed in a locked cabinet to prevent tampering
T or F
True
fire alarm system has ultimate authority over all building automation functions
T or F
True
