General Information
BACnet Automation Interface Module
(Serial Version)
Model# AIM-BAC-SER
The BACnet Automation Interface Module provides a
communications link between the Greengate System lighting
control panel and a system that uses the BACnet Protocol. This
allows a BACnet based system to have the ability of turning On or
Off relays or groups of relays within a Greengate System as well
as get status from relays or switches. The BACnet Automation
Interface Module is custom configured for your job site’s needs
as to what relays and groups it will control or monitor.
Before You Begin
The BACnet AIM ships without the motherboard installed in the
enclosure unless the desired programming has been given to
the factory prior to shipment.
As each site is pre-configured, it will be necessary to provide
technical support with the necessary programming information
to ship the motherboard to the site. Please see the end of this
document to obtain the paperwork that must be filled out for
the configuration of this unit.
The unit will be pre-configured for the protocol, baud rate and
connection type for your site based on the information provided
to us. A system integrator mapping table will be provided including a header for information on details on the configured
protocol type, i.e. BACnet over Ethernet, BACnet over IP,
BACnet over MS/TP or BACnet over ARCnet.
Each BACnet AIM unit has the capability of commanding and
monitoring a total of 1200 points. Please note that your AIM
unit has been preconfigured for your site’s panels and desired
points to command and monitor. Please refer to the systems
integrator mapping table for the information on how the BACnet
points relate to the Greengate lighting control points.
This document describes the installation process for the AIM
unit. Questions should be referred to Cooper Controls Technical Support Department.
Getting Started
1. Do not discard these installation instructions. Please keep
for future reference and operation information.
2. Use only as intended and at the listed voltage.
3. All installation and service must be performed by qualified
personnel or service technicians.
4. Install in accordance with the National Electrical Code
and any other codes which may apply.

Mounting the AIM Unit
1. Choose a dry location convenient within 6 feet of the
Greengate lighting controller that also has access to the BACnet
network.
2. Mount the enclosure on a firm surface using the predrilled
mounting holes.
3. Low voltage connections for the Greengate panel and the
BACnet connection to the AIM enclosure should be done
through conduit. Bring wiring in conduit through the left, top
or upper right side. The lower right corner of the enclosure is
reserved for the high-voltage power connection.
4. Remove all cuttings and dirt before providing power to the AIM
unit.
Wiring the AIM to the Greengate Panel
Wiring Notes:
1. All low-voltage wiring must be run in separate conduit from line-voltage wiring.
2. Disconnect power from the AIM.
3. Connect the provided RJ11 to 5 position terminal block cable to the RS-232 com port on the lighting panel.
Connect the pre-wired 5 position terminal block to the Port S2 position on AIM motherboard.

Figure 2: Greengate LiteKeeper Panel Wiring to the AIM
Wiring the AIM to the BACnet System
The AIM has been pre-configured to a specific BACnet connection type per paperwork received from the site. Please
install according to the type of BACnet that appears at the top
of your mapping table.
Wiring Notes
1. All low-voltage wiring is Class 2 wiring.
2. All low-voltage wiring must be run in separate conduit from
line-voltage wiring.
3. Test all low-voltage wiring for shorts to AC ground before
connection to the AIM unit.
BACnet PTP
Please contact Technical Support regarding the possibility of
doing a BACnet over PTP connection.
BACnet over ARC156
The ARCnet port is located on the left side of the AIM unit.
Check the communications wiring for shorts and grounds.
Connect the communications wiring to the ARCnet port
Network +, Network -, and Shield terminals making certain to
use the same polarity through the network segment.
4. Follow the manufacturer‘s recommendations for wire type
and distance limitations for your BACnet system.
Connecting the BACnet Network to the AIM
1. Disconnect power from the AIM.
2. Check all wiring for shorts and grounds prior to connection
to the AIM unit.
3. Connect the BACnet connection see the following sections
regarding the available BACnet configurations available.
BACnet MS/TP
BACnet MSTP is set up using the bit switches on the bottom
of the AIM unit. If the factory has been notified that this type of
connection is required, this will be pre-configured for the unit
on site. The MS/TP port’s default baud rate is of 76800kbps.
Please check the mapping table paperwork for the AIM to
check if a different baud rate setting has been configured per
request at the site.
Port S1 is used for a MS/TP connection. Check the communications wiring for shorts and grounds. Connect the communications wiring to Port S1 Network + and Network - terminals
making certain to use the same polarity through the network
segment. Verify that the port S1 jumper has been configured
for a 2 wire RS-485 connection and the Dipswitch #4 has been
turned ON to enable MSTP.
Page 2
BACnet over IP or over Ethernet
The BACnet over IP or Ethernet connection is made to the
top left corner of the AIM unit. Baud rates are auto-detect
10M/100Mbps. If using BACnet over IP, please refer to the
Mapping Tables provided with the pre-configured unit to see
what IP address has been assigned to the AIM.
Powering the AIM Unit
1. Connect the neutral wire to the wire with the appropriate color coding for the voltage being used: White/Black=120VAC
2. Connect the solid black wire to the dedicated branch circuit
that is powering the transformer.
Power Switch
3. Module Status Indicator: This LED display in normal run
condition will show a chase light that tracks around the
outside of the display with a flashing red dot LED in the
bottom right corner. If a number displays in this window,
please contact Technical Support for further assistance.

LED indicator lights
The AIM motherboard and the Greengate Interface board
both have LED lights that can help with diagnostics. These
are explained below.
11
AIM Unit LEDs
The AIM unit has LEDs for diagnostics in several locations on
the board. This includes the LEDs on the front casing of the
AIM unit as well as some LEDs next to various ports on the
board and an LED display that may indicate error codes. Please
refer to the following drawing that indicates the location of the
LEDs and their functions.
1. AIM Port S2 (Greengate Connection) Transmit and Receive
LEDs.
2. AIM LED stack - the following LEDs are diagnostic
indicators: Archive Valid - should be lit after a minute or
two of the AIM being powered up. If this LED does not
light up a few minutes after power up, please contact
technical support. Port S1 TX and Port S1 RX - AIM port
transmit and receive indicators for the MSTP port if
being used. In addition, the top two LEDs will indicate the
ARC156 TX and RX if ARCnet is being used.
