Installation Guide

NOTE: Serial label covers the micro USB port which cannot be used to power the
BASpi-Edge. Do not remove the serial label or BASpi-Edge warranty will be voided.
The BASpi-Edge series are hardened controllers with enhanced features and data
processing at the Edge functionality, powered by Raspberry Pi. Housed in a compact
DIN rail mounted enclosure with 24 VAC/VDC power input and a resilient pSLC 8 GB
micro SD card gives them performance and convenience advantages, making them
suitable for a wide array of applications. BACnet client/server communication over
Ethernet or Wi-Fi and Sedona function block programmable control logic and data
processing at the Edge come standard. BASpi-Edge is fully web page configurable
with quick and easy cloud connectivity to Azure IoT Central (SaaS) cloud solution.
Additional features such as email alarms/notifications, schedules with holidays/
exceptions, weather web service, as well as graphical dashboards served over
Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or directly out of the resident HDMI port make the BASpi-Edge ideal
for standalone or BACnet supervised automation applications. By leveraging open IoT
protocols such as MQTT, proven security mechanisms such as Transport Layer
Security (TLS), and robust and easy to use software as a service cloud solutions
(SaaS) such as Azure IoT Central, BASpi-Edge controllers can easily and securely
connect to the cloud, effectively making any attached equipment a cloud connected
asset. Cloud connectivity is optional, but it provides excellent global asset
management and supervision capabilities in multi-site building applications, or multi-
branch store or retail chains.

BASpi-Edge is 24 VAC/VDC powered through its 2-pin screw terminal while drawing
no more than 7 W or 12.5 VA of power. The recommended conductor size is 16–18
AWG or up to 2x 1.5 mm wires.
WARNING: Internally, this device utilizes a half-wave rectifier and therefore can only
share the same AC power source with other half-wave rectified devices. Sharing AC
power with full-wave rectified devices is NOT recommended. Devices powered from a
common AC source could be damaged if a mix of half-wave and full-wave rectified
devices exists. BASpi-Edge cannot be powered by a 5 VDC power source through the
Raspberry Pi micro USB input. Only use 24 VAC/VDC through the 2-pin screw
terminal. The USB ports cannot be used to power auxiliary devices, refer to BASpi-
Edge User Manual for USB port applications.
