Converter with Bluetooth® Wireless Technology (BTCVT) Installation
Instructions 1
this information may change
Applications
The Converter with Bluetooth® wireless technology
(BTCVT) is a communications converter that provides
a temporary connection between AIM software and a
field device to commission, synchronize, and balance
Metasys® system extended architecture hardware
controllers.
The BTCVT provides communication from the Field
Controller (FC) bus or the Sensor and Actuator (SA)
bus to a Bluetooth wireless technology enabled device,
such as a laptop computer. The BTCVT converts
Master Slave Token Passing (MSTP) protocol to
2.4 GHz Bluetooth wireless communication and from
wireless communication back to MSTP.
A strap, provided with the BTCVT, allows you to hang
the BTCVT next to the contoller while the wireless
connection allows you to be up to 10 m (33 ft) away
while you commission the controller with a laptop
computer.
The BTCVT is compatible with the following MSTP
devices:
• Field Equipment Controller (FEC)
• Variable Air Volume Modular Assembly (VMA)
• Input/Output Module (IOM)
• Network Sensors
The BTCVT uses Bluetooth wireless technology, but is
not compatible with other Bluetooth wireless devices.
Only use the BTCVT with the wireless card supplied
with the BTCVT or a wireless processor.
Installation
Observe the following guidelines and see the Mounting
section in this document.
• Verify that all parts are shipped with the BTCVT.
• The blue protective boot minimizes shock damage
to the BTCVT. If removed from the protective boot,
the BTCVT is prone to physical damage.
Parts Included
•one BTCVT
• one 3Com® Bluetooth PC card and vendor-
supplied software
• one 5-ft retractable cable
• one set of Installation Instructions
• one hanging strap with internal magnet
Special Tools Needed
The BTCVT provides a wireless link to the controller.
To access the BTCVT, you need the following:
• laptop Computer running Microsoft®
Windows® 2000 Professional operating system or
later with the wireless card installed.
• AIM software
IMPORTANT: Magnetic fields can cause damage to
magnetic storage media, including cassette tapes,
floppy disks, credit cards, and video tapes. Keep all
magnets away from all types of magnetic media.

Mounting
Mounting Location Considerations
Observe the following guidelines when mounting an
BTCVT:
• Always hang the BTCVT using the strap provided.
Note: Use the strap loop to hang the BTCVT or
attach the strap magnet to a metal object (such as
a metal pipe).
• Mount the Converter in areas free of corrosive
vapors and observe the environmental limitations
listed in the Technical Specifications section of this
document.
• Objects (including ductwork, cabinets, doors, and
glass) can impede the wireless signal. Minimize
the amount of objects between the laptop computer
and the BTCVT. Use line-of-sight, if possible.
Wiring
Wiring Consideration and Guidelines
Observe the following guidelines when wiring the
BTCVT:
• Do not allow the BTCVT to hang from the cable
connection. Always use the strap provided to hang
the BTCVT.
• Provide some slack in the cable between the
BTCVT and the controller.

Power Supply, Network, and
Communication Connections
See Figure 1 for the location of the
communications terminal on the BTCVT.
SA/FC Port
The SA/FC Port on the BTCVT is a
6-pin RS-485 port designed to connect
the BTCVT to an accessible SA or FC
port on an MSTP device using the cable
assembly provided. The SA/FC is a
straight through, 1-to-1connection (not a cross-over).
The maximum allowable cable length is 100 ft.
Do not plug the SA/FC Port into a standard phone jack.
Wiring the Converter
Observe the following guidelines and procedures when
wiring the BTCVT.
To wire the network communication connections and
supply power:
1. After securely hanging the BTCVT, connect one
male end of the supplied cable to the BTCVT.
2. Connect the the other end of the cable to the
controller.
Note: The BTCVT has a dedicated MSTP bus
address of 01. Only one BTCVT can be connected to
the MSTP bus per physical trunk on the system.
Setup and Adjustments
The BTCVT device itself requires no commissioning.
