FMS BAPI Temperature/Humidity Falcon Integration
Temperature Setup Humidity Setup
1. Wire th e sensor as shown.
5. Ver ify the "Calc" Valu e d isp lays th e corre ct r oom tempera ture .
The tempe rature can also be viewed on the Falcon ma in page.
SETUP
1. Calculate the BA PI Output cur rent for tempe rature.
TRO UBLESHOO TING
2. Measure th e curr ent flowing into the Falcon Ch - terminal with a
current me ter. Ver ify that it is close to the calcula ted curren t
(+/-1%)
3. If measured current curr ent do es not ma tch calcula ted curren t
then ch eck wi ring and check th e B API switch se ttings.
4. Compare the me asu red cur rent matches the cu rrent re ading in
the Fal con.
5. Check the wir ing if th e Falcon current readin g d oes no t match
the me asu red cu rrent re ading.
6. If th e Falcon current readin g matches the measured current
and the Fa lco n calculated value does not match the room
temperature then the offset and gain values are wr ong.
Double check the Gain and Offset va lues.
7. If th e tempera ture di spla ye d in the Fa lco n is 1 or 2 deg rees
abo ve or belo w th e r oom tempera ture then adju st the offset b y
1 or 2. Do not adj ust the ga in. Onl y tweak th e o ffse t once the
previou s tr oubleshoo tin g steps ha ve bee n p erfo rmed.
8. If th e Falcon still doe s not d isp lay the cor rect te mp erature

2. Configure the Fa lcon Input cha nnel (temperature) for "Ana log
4-20mA" and en ter the gain and offset valu es. For the 32-
120F ra nge use G ain 22, Offset -10.
4. Configure the Fa lcon Input Ch annel (humidity) for "Ana log 4-
20mA" and en ter the Gain of 25 and Offset of -25.

Example if Room Te mp is 70F an d you r sensor has a ra nge of 32-120
( ( Act ual t emp - Sensor Low ) / ( Sensor High - Sensor Low )) x 16 + 4
( (70 - 32) / (120 - 32)) x 16 + 4 = 10.90
