1. INTRODUCTION
1.1. Description
The Multi-Trans Smart Ecosystem (MTSE) is a flow and pressure transmitter which can simultaneously
provide airflow measurement of up to three flow systems (e.g., supply, return, and outside air) and four
differential pressure points (e.g., total fan static, duct static, pre and final filters) in any combination for
a total of 9 sensing points. The MTSE can connect to and receive a differential pressure signal from
each fan’s piezometer-ring airflow sensors or field installed airflow stations. This signal is scaled and
linearized before being displayed locally and transmitted out as a 4-20mA or 0-10VDC signal, as well as
on Modbus or BACnet network communication. A true AutoZero feature corrects potential zero offset
caused by large ambient temperature changes for outside air applications. A temperature compensation
feature compensates the flow signal for density changes caused by variations in the air temperature.

1.3. Safety
1.3.1. Electrical Connections
Before any electrical connections are made, ensure the POWER SWITCH is in the OFF position.
1.3.2. Static Electricity
The circuit board contains components which are susceptible to damage caused by static electrical
discharge. Should it be necessary to remove the circuit board from the enclosure, appropriate
precautions must first be taken to ensure that the operator and the circuit board are at the same electrical
potential.

2. INSTALLATION
The MTSE is rated for either indoor or outdoor installation. When installed outdoors, do not install the
MTSE where the display screen is in direct sunlight. Avoid locations that are subject to high
vibration.

Figure 2.2 – Terminal Block Description
J1 – Power In The MTSE can be powered with 24VAC or 24VDC. Allowable range is
20-28V. Pin 1 on the power supply terminal is the positive leg, however the
device is reverse polarity protected.
J2 – Future Sensor
Module Expansion
Additional remote MTSE units will be daisy-chained together to expand the
sensing capability to 40 sensing points. Currently not available.
J3 - Service

Communication pins for Factory programming. DO NOT CONNECT TO
THESE PINS.
J4 - Network
Communication
BACnet/Modbus communication pins.
J5 - Digital Inputs

J6 - Future Sensor
Module Expansion
Will provide power for additional MTSE sensor module units. Currently
not available.
J7 - 24VDC Output to
Temp. Transmitters
Supplies power for external temperature transmitter(s).
J8 - Analog Inputs
Analog Inputs are tied to the temperature inputs and are scaled to the
minimum and maximum values set in Temperature Compensation &
Altitude Setup Menus.
J9 - Analog Outputs
System 1 Analog Process Output is System 1 Total Summed Flow (Process
Value) of the sensors in System 1. This is scaled to the Operating Range set
in the Setup Menus where 0V or 4 mA is 0 flow and 10V or 20 mA is the
operating range.

2.2.1. Common Electrical Connections
PCI recommends cable should be low capacitance, shielded 22 or 24 AWG twisted wire for all electrical
connections. When connecting multiple MTSE units on a common communication network, connect
shielding wires together and connect only one side of the shielding wire to earth ground at the building
automation system; do not connect both ends of the shield wire to earth ground.

2.3. Pneumatic Connections
The MTSE can measure a maximum of five airflow points in up to three systems and monitor up to four
ΔP points for a total of 9 sensing points. Two pneumatic plenum-rated signal tubing lines are required
to be connected to the MTSE for each sensing point, a high (or Total) and a low (or Static) connection.
Transducers in the MTSE are numbered sequentially; therefore, all connections for System 1 must be
made in order starting at Sensor 1, and then System 2 will start immediately after the last sensor in
System 1, and so on. See label inside cover of MTSE for sensor numbering. Shown below is an
example of an MTSE configured to measure two Supply Fans, two Return Fans, and a single Outside
Air opening.
