5 Easy Installation Combined Drive Enclosures incorporate the VFD into the controls enclosure, offering a standardized, compact single enclosure, pre-wired for a single-point field connection. The fan motors, spray pump motors and other electrical accesories must be powered separately. Optional universal mounting kits and factory pre-wired unit mounted terminal boxes are also available for ease of panel mounting and field wiring. Contact your local BAC Representative for availability. Energy Standard Compliance BAC Controls can help you comply with the speed control requirements of current energy standards such as ASHRAE Standard 90.1 and California Title 24. These standards require all motors 7.5 HP and above to have the ability to run at 2/3 or less of full speed. BAC offers many alternatives to comply with this requirement, depending on your unique system needs. These methods include variable frequency drives, the BALTIGUARD and BALTIGUARD PLUS Fan Systems, or multi-speed motors. The automatic motor speed control requirements of these standards can be satisfied through the controllers and temperature/ pressure sensors available with BAC Controls for any of these methods. BAC Factory Temperature/Pressure Sensor BAC temperature and pressure sensors are factory tested and approved for compatability with all BAC Control devices. High quality sensors provide accurate signals offering precise system control. Proper system control is crucial to operating your system at peak efficiency under all combinations of atmospheric and load conditions. Using a BAC provided sensor ensures reliable operation and peak efficiency for the life of your unit.

8 Custom Features & Options BAC Controls Combined Drive Enclosure (CDE) Combined Drive Enclosure incudes Baltilogic sequencing software that is preprogrammed into the VFD to offer temperature based control of auxillary fan motors (BALTIGUARD PLUS ). Baltilogic sequencing software also controls the spray pump starters, basin heaters, vibration cutout switches, electronic water level control, and positive closure dampers. The combined drive enclosure is UL508A/CUL rated. Baltilogic Sequencing Software: Simplified user interface allows quick and easy access to commonly adjusted parameters. Incorporates updated start-up wizard to aid in field start-up. Combined Drive Enclosure Cover Controls: Easy to follow operator logic. Complete auto control mode. Hand mode for manual operation. BAC Factory Start-up: Ensures successful configuration and operation of BAC VFDs and Controls. Extends standard two year (parts only) to three year warranty (parts and labor). Combined Drive Enclosure Cover Controls Standard VFD includes an enclosure, 24VDC power supply, main circuit breaker, disconnect switch with lockable operator handle, 3-contactor bypass, modular cooling fan and a detachable, programmable VFD keypad. The standard VFD is UL508C/CSA rated. 3-Contactor Bypass is standard on all BAC drives. The input contactor electrically isolates the drive during bypass operation. The output and bypass contactors are mechanically interlocked to regulate power to the fan motor. The bypass allows for 100% fan speed operation back-up if the drive is not functional for any reason.

9 Standard Enclosed Controls BAC controls, designed with the highest grade components, are packed with operation-friendly features to ensure a long life expectancy and lower life cycle costs. The modular design of BAC panels allows for consistency across projects and simplifies upgrades or future replacements, yet can be customized to meet your particular application. The enclosed controls are UL 508A listed and CUL certified and are provided with a standard one year warranty (parts only). Standard Panel with Auxillary Fan Motor Starter(s) includes an enclosure, control power transformer, main circuit breaker, disconnect switch with lockable operator handle, hand-off-auto switch, run pilot lights for each starter, and full voltage, non-reversing starter with overload relay and double-break silver alloy contacts. (If fan requires reverse operation, use a VFD in lieu of a fan motor starter.) Circuit Breaker Protection allows for quick reset and is standard for all BAC control panels. The main circuit breaker is sized for the maximum current draw for the panel configuration. Each fan motor starter includes individual branch circuit protection. Safety Disconnect Switches Since control panels can be installed indoors, NEC Article b requires a disconnect switch located within sight of the motor and the driven machinery location. BAC safety disconnect switches are rated for 600 VAC and sized specifically for the current draw of the components. The safety disconnect switches are UL E239 listed and CSA certified and are provided with a standard one year warranty (parts only).

Externally Mounted Factory Pre-wired Terminal Box (Currently available on Series 3000, PT2, and VCA models) All wiring for the fan motor(s) and vibration cutout switch leads are pre-wired from the factory and terminated on the outside face of the BAC unit in a clearly marked terminal box. This feature saves installation labor required to run conduit and wiring to the motor and vibration cutout switch, while saving material costs for the internal conduit, wire, couplings and hardware. The externally mounted terminal boxes are UL 1773 listed and CSA certified. The externally mounted terminal boxes are provided with a standard five year warranty. The Terminal Box includes a factory-mounted enclosure, factory wiring to terminal blocks for the fan motors and vibration cutout switches, and grounding lugs. Pre-wired in factory for unit acccesories Ships factory mounted to unit Eliminates field casing penetrations reducing possibility of leaks and corrosion.

Energy Savings and Reliability BAC Controls Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) VFDs offer many benefits including: Precise leaving fluid temperature control provides a more efficient method to vary

Soft-starts, stops, and smooth accelerations prolong the mechanical system (fans, motors, belts, bearings, etc) life while reducing maintenance.

12 Energy Savings and Reliability BAC Controls Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) VFDs offer many benefits including: Precise leaving fluid temperature control provides a more efficient method to vary airflow compared to fan cycling, fan dampers, or mechanical speed changers. Soft-starts, stops, and smooth accelerations prolong the mechanical system (fans, motors, belts, bearings, etc) life while reducing maintenance. The soft-start feature minimizes start-up noise and smooth acceleration making the tower sound less noticeable to the neighbors. Reduces wear on the motor. The standard VFDs are UL 508C listed and CSA certified and are provided with a standard two year parts warranty. The combined drive enclosures are UL 508A listed and CUL certified. With factory certified start-up, parts warranty is extended to three years and includes a three year labor warranty. NEMA 3R VFD BALTIGUARD PLUS TM Fan System The BALTIGUARD PLUS Fan System builds on the advantages of the BALTIGUARD Fan System by adding a VFD to either the pony or the main motor, depending on system requirements. This offers the benefits of additional capacity control and energy savings, along with the redundancy offered by the BALTIGUARD Fan System. Alternatively, a VFD can be added to BOTH the pony and main motor, for complete capacity control and redundancy under any load. BALTIGUARD Fan System K12 Baltimore Aircoil Company
