Thermal The BMPlus module has a Thermal
Circuit circuit breaker that protects the
Breaker module(s) from shorts in the damper
and thermostat field wiring. It will
not protect against shorts in the
HVAC system wiring.
CAUTION: When the circuit breaker
is tripped it will get quite hot. To
reset the breaker: Shut off power to
the panel. Find and repair the short.
Restore the 24VAC power.
Indoor Fan Any zone can activate the indoor fan
Control and only the dampers in zones calling
for continuous fan operation will open.
Continuous fan operation will only
occur when there are no active or
pending, heat or cool demands. A dip
switch is provided to enable automatic
fan operation in heat mode. Useful for
straight electric heat or hydronic heat
applications.

8 FS GAS < FAN > HYDRONIC

HP < SYSTEM > OTHER

Choose the type of HVAC system you want to control. Select HP, if your system is any type of Heat Pump. Select OTHER,
if your system is a standard Gas or Oil furnace. Other setting also applies to straight electric furnaces or hydronic
(hot water coil) heating systems.

DF < HP > CONV

Choose the type of Heat Pump you want to control. Select DF (Restricted Mode) if you wish to lock out the
compressor during auxiliary heat operation, typically set for Dual Fuel operation. Select CONV (Unrestricted Mode) if
you wish to have the compressor run during auxiliary heat operations, typically set for Electric Back-up.

HC < TSTATS > HP

Select HC, if you want to use regular Heat/Cool thermostats on your job. Select HP, if you want to use Heat Pump
thermostats on your job. Remember that you can use standard Heat/Cool Thermostats on a Heat Pump application.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The BMPlus 3000 Zone Control System allows Heat Pump thermostats to be connected to all zones.
Using heat pump thermostats means that the zone panel will obey thermostatic demands. This comfort over-ride feature
provides a level of versatility to your zoning system and gives the homeowner comfort control over the system, instead of
waiting for the adjustable timer to energize 2nd stage heat. True thermostatic staging is not available when using 2 Stage
compressor heatpumps, it is advisable to use Heat/Cool thermostats and allow the BMPlus to stage via the on-board timer. If
true thermostatic staging is required, then it is recommended to upgrade to the Model UZC series of Control Panels.
O < RV > B
Select the correct Reversing Valve signal for your particular Heat Pump. Choose “O” for any Heat Pump that energizes
the RV in the cooling mode. Choose “B” for any Heat Pump that energizes the RV in heating mode.

OAS < STAGING > TIMER

Select OAS, if you want to delay auxiliary heat based on the outside air temperature sensor. Select TIMER, if you
want to delay W2 and Y2 based on the adjustable on-board timer. NOTE: ‘Y2’ defaults to a 30
minute delay, when OAS is chosen. NOTE: An optional Outside Air Sensor (OAS) is required to use the OAS feature.

OFF < 50%RULE > ON

Select OFF, if you do not want to inhibit Y2 and/or auxiliary heat based on the total number of zones calling.
Select ON, if you do want to inhibit Y2 and/or auxiliary heat based on the total number of zones calling. More than
half the total zones must be calling for the same mode of operation (heat or cool), or the BMPlus3000 will not
stage up. This feature is a great way to save energy. Emergency heat mode will override the 50% rule.
OFF < SAS > ON
Select OFF, if you do not want to use the supply air sensor included with the BMPlus Zone Control system. Select ON, if
you intend to use the included supply air sensor. Refer to the data sheet included with the supply air sensor for details.

GAS < FAN > HYDRONIC

Select GAS, if your HVAC system is a gas or oil forced air furnace. Select HYDRONIC, if your HVAC system has a hot
water coil, or straight electric heat with no indoor blower support. Useful when you need the indoor blower to run
automatically in heat mode, just like it does in cool mode. NOTE: When you select HP on dip switch #1, the indoor fan
mode is automatically set for you. There is no need to move this switch when setting up for Heat Pump operations.

ENHANCED FEATURES AND FUNCTIONS

MODULE TO MODULE FACTORY POWER WIRING SHORTED ZONE FEATURE FIRMWARE

The BMPlus 3000 includes Factory Power
Wiring on all expanded systems. The 24 vac
power to the expansion modules is fed
through the bus cable. This simplifies your
wiring and minimizes the chances of reversing
polarity.
DUAL FUEL COMPATIBLE
The BMPlus 3000 is compatible with Dual Fuel
Heat Pumps. Dual Fuel kits are not required.
Select staging based on Adjustable Time
Delay or an Optional Outside Air temperature
Sensor. The intelligent firmware does the rest.
The BMPlus 3000 Zone Control System
includes the Shorted Zone Feature. This
feature allows the BMPlus to ignore demands
from a zone thermostat that is putting out
simultaneous demands for heat & cool. A
condition most likely due to a short in the field
wiring, incorrect wiring, or a defective
thermostat. The BMPlus will honor any
legitimate demands from any other zone(s),
except the shorted zone. When the problem is
identified and repaired, the BMPlus 3000 will
automatically recognize that zone.

 DAMPER WIRING CONTINUED
If you need to connect numerous dampers to a single zone, or you are using dampers of unknown current draw
such as Spring Types, Isolation relays and separate power supplies may be required. Parallel as many dampers
as you want as long the total current load of the motor actuators does not exceed the VA rating of the
transformer. Other factors should also be considered, such as the full load amp rating of the isolating relay
contacts, voltage drops from long wire runs and feeder conductor sizing to junction points.
NOTE: Some older style dampers and competitor’s dampers cannot be paralleled and must be isolated or wired
in tandem. Contact EWC Controls Technical Support for assistance.

Variations on this diagram and other damper solutions are available.

 LED’S
BMPlus 3000 The BMPlus is equipped with 11 function specific LED’s that indicate HVAC system operation
LED’s and zone damper status. Familiarize yourself with the LED functions and definitions, in order to
accurately determine the Zoned HVAC system status and mode of operation.

GREEN
STATUS The STATUS LED pulses as a steady heart beat to indicate proper Microprocessor system status.

RED
OAS The OAS LED illuminates solid to indicate that the Outdoor Temperature has fallen below the chosen
set point. The OAS LED will blink rapidly to indicate a shorted or open Outdoor Air Sensor circuit.

The SAS LED illuminates solid to indicate that the Supply Temperature has exceeded the chosen
RED
SAS set point on either the HIGH TEMP LIMIT or the LOW TEMP LIMIT. The SAS LED will blink rapidly
to indicate a shorted or open Supply Air Sensor circuit.

GREEN ZONE 3 The ZONE 3 LED will illuminate solid to indicate that damper(s) is energized open, and the Zone is active.

GREEN ZONE 2 The ZONE 2 LED will illuminate solid to indicate that damper(s) is energized open, and the Zone is active.

GREEN ZONE 1 The ZONE 1 LED will illuminate solid to indicate that damper(s) is energized open, and the Zone is active.

The FAN LED will illuminate solid to indicate a demand for fan operation, during COOLING, HEATING,
GREEN FAN PURGE, or CONTINUOUS FAN operations.

YELLOW
Y2 The Y2 LED illuminates solid to indicate the 2nd stage of DX COOLING or DX HEATING is energized.

YELLOW Y1 The Y1 LED illuminates solid to indicate the 1ST stage of DX COOLING or DX HEATING is energized.

RED
W1/B The W1/B LED illuminates solid to indicate 1st stage of HEATING is energized in Gas/Hydronic mode.
The W1/B LED illuminates solid to indicate ‘B’ reversing valve is energized in HEAT PUMP operation.
NOTE: In Heat Pump Operation, this LED will stay illuminated after the call for heat is completed.

The W2/E LED illuminates solid to indicate 2nd or 3rd stage of HEATING is energized in GAS/HYDRONIC
RED W2/E or HEAT PUMP mode.
The W2/E LED illuminates solid to indicate EMERGENCY HEAT is energized in HEAT PUMP mode.

CHECK YOUR WIRING

DETECTING 24vac SHORTS
HVAC system not responding and
BMPLUS 3000 LED’s are off.
Dampers not responding and THE
BMPLUS 3000 LED’s are off.
SYMPTOMS: Module(s) appear to be dead!
If 24vac short has occurred, 24vac will be present at the BMPlus 3000 Module
Input terminals R & C; but 24vac will not be present at the Thermostat R&C.
SOLUTIONS: Remove 24vac power from BMPlus 3000 and allow circuit breaker to cool!
Find and repair short(s) in damper and/or thermostat field wiring. Restore 24 vac power.

ISOLATING 24vac SHORTS
F1 circuit breaker protects the
BMPlus 3000 and reacts to a short in
the damper motor or thermostat
component and field wiring.
Disconnect the wire(s) from the ‘R’ terminals on the BMPlus 3000 thermostat
terminal blocks , and the “M2/M4/M6’’ terminals on the BMPlus 3000 damper
motor terminal blocks. Restore power. If the short is no longer present, Ohm
out the thermostat and damper field wiring for shorts/misconnections. Replace
or repair wires as necessary. Restore power. Module(s) will resume operation.

TESTING THERMOSTATS

Check to make sure that the thermostat Rc and Rh terminals are connected together, unless your application requires
separation of these circuits.

Use the (C) Common terminal provided at each thermostat terminal block to wire up full 24 vac hard-wired thermostats.

You should reference the (C) Common terminal when troubleshooting incoming thermostat demand signals, even if no wire is
connected there.

Make sure that you wire and configure your thermostats for the correct application. Most thermostats built today can be field
configured to operate as regular Heat/ Cool type or as Heat Pump type. Remember that you can use regular Heat/Cool
thermostats on the BMPlus 3000 for Heat Pump applications.
