NS8000 Series
Vertical Wallbox-Mounted or Surface-Mounted NS Series Network Sensors
The NS Series Network Sensors function directly with
Metasys® system Field Equipment Controllers (FECs),
Metasys Network and Control Engines (NCEs), Advanced
Application Field Equipment Controller (FACs), Metasys VAV
Box Equipment Controllers (CVM), General Purpose Application
Controllers (CGM), Input/Output Modules (IOMs), VAV Modular
Assembly (VMA16) Controllers, and Facility Explorer™ FX-PC
Series Programmable Controllers (FX-PCGs, FX-PCVs, and
FX-PCXs). The sensors are also compatible with Verasys® and
Johnson Controls® Smart Equipment.
The NS Series Network Sensors monitor zone temperature,
relative humidity (RH), carbon dioxide (CO
2
), motion, and local
temperature setpoint adjustments. The sensor transmits this
data to a controller on the Sensor/Actuator (SA) bus.
Some NS Series Network Sensors models include an onboard
passive infrared (PIR) occupancy sensor that detects motion
to determine if a space is occupied. This feature maximizes
up to 30% energy savings in high-energy usage environments
such as schools, dormitories, offices, hospitals, and hotels by
adjusting the temperature of the space based on the occupancy
status. In addition, the PIR occupancy sensor facilitates
trending of floor space usage in these environments.
Display models of the NS Series Network Sensors are
available with a backlit LCD fixed segment display or a full
color graphical LCD interface. These models allow the user
to view zone temperature, RH, CO
2
, and adjust the zone
temperature setpoint and fan speed. Graphical models provide
a summary of sensor values at the base of the display. Fixed
segment models have the capability to set the default display to
temperature, RH, or temperature setpoint.
The user can also choose between degrees Fahrenheit (F)
and degrees Celsius (C). To prevent tampering with the sensor,
display models also include a screen lockout feature. The
graphical display allows the user to choose between a light or
dark color theme and to set the sleep mode to dim or turn off.
Some models also have a Warmer/Cooler interface to adjust
the zone temperature. Instead of a display, these models have
two cap touch buttons with seven LED lights that represent the
current setpoint.
The display models include the following fan speeds: automatic,
off, low, medium, or high.
Interaction with the sensor sets the occupancy override function
to signal to the controller that the zone is occupied and to
override the scheduled mode.
The LCD full color graphical models use the graphical user
interface to set a unique BACnet® address for applications that
require multiple sensors.
Other models have DIP switches to set a unique address for
applications that require multiple sensors. All models ship
standard with modular phone jacks and screw terminals to
terminate the wiring connecting the sensors to the controller.
Note: To connect the NS Series Network Sensor to the same
SA bus segment, use only one of the two connection methods,
either the modular phone jack or the screw terminals.
Each network sensor includes a SA bus access port,
allowing for accessories to connect to the SA bus. Through
this connector, the user can use accessories to service or
commission the connected controller or gain access to any
other controller on the same field controller (FC) bus.
Note: Device programming for the NS8000 sensor connected
to the controller does not include balancing functionality and
features.
The NS Series Network Sensors can be surface mounted
or vertical wallbox mounted to meet the requirements of the
specific application. All display models are optimized for the
California Energy Code (Title 24). To suit specific architectural
and interior design needs, the models come with either black or
white enclosures.
