ABOUT ACORN CONTROLS
Past and Present
Acorn Engineering
Company has been
manufacturing valves
for plumbing xtures in our
North American manufacturing
facilities since the introduction of
Auto-Cloz, Single-Trol and Safti-Trol
valves in 1969.
Throughout the next ve decades, Acorn
continued to introduce valves like the
Penal-Trol line for institutional applica-
tions; Master-Trol, an electronic water
management system that allows facilities
to precisely control and monitor water
usage; and several generations of
Air-Control and Flood-Trol valves. In 2013,
Acorn introduced the Acorn Controls
product line, a new generation of thermo-
static mixing valves that manage single
xtures, multiple xtures, or whole
building water systems. Acorn is proud
to continue its track record of providing
valves while updating the product line
with state of-the-art technology that keeps
people safe.
Acorn Engineering Company
was founded in 1954
by Earl L. Morris, who
wanted to manufacture the type
of specied products he most enjoyed
selling at his manufacturer’s representative
company, the Earl L. Morris Company. As
Acorn grew, a number of companies and
partnerships were acquired, and in 2012, a
new parent company was formed—Morris
Group International (MGI).
Today, Morris Group International is
made up of 25 divisions and partnerships
manufacturing products. Our products
come out of our manufacturing facilities in
North America ready to meet the needs of
any construction or building project.
With over 75 patents and thousands of
products, Morris Group International has
over 1,600 employees and over 2 million
square feet of ofce, warehouse and
manufacturing space worldwide.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF BASyC™
• Non-proprietary Honeywell NiagaraAX framework hardware and software to achieve stand-alone,
computerized control of the recirculating domestic hot water system.
• Web browser capability and can be accessed 1) via the user’s LAN, 2) via the portable LCD display
3) via the integral BAS adapter or 4) via the internet using VPN interface. In all cases, no special
software is required.
• Real-time temperature, pressure and ow monitoring.
• Alarms and Alerts to multiple users via email and/or text.
• Data logging with data transfer capabilities through the user’s LAN or BAS interface.
• A highly customizable report generator with the ability to export the data to a pdf, HTML, TEXT
or CSV le for analysis beyond BASyC’s powerful internal capabilities
• Internal BAS adapters for BACnet, Lonworks, ModBus or oBIX without external adapters or gateways.
• Primary and Secondary LAN adapters with full isolation from each other
• Internal RS-232 and RS-485 adapters
• The capability of 34 inputs/outputs: 16 universal inputs, 10 relay outputs, and 8 analog outputs
• One BASyC™ system can control up to 4 valves in one or two separate temperature loops.
• Temperature control per ASSE 1017 during: power failure, outlet sensor failure, electric actuator or
thermostatic sensor failure and/or software/system reboot.
• Based on an MV17 control valve included as part of a Command Station or SFMMV Supply Fixture
assembly. If not ordered initially with BASyC™, Command Stations and SFMMV Supply Fixtures are
upgradeable to BASyC™ at a minimal cost.
• User-programmable sanitization with available email alarm includes “Safe Start” conrmation to minimize
the risks associated with high sanitization temperatures.
• BASyC’s open architecture allows for cost-effective customization. Any input or output not used for the
recirculation LTHW application can be assigned to monitor and activate or control 3rd party devices.
Contact Acorn for details and a price quotation.
• BASyC offers calculated ow and HW energy consumption data that’s accurate and reliable for identifying
user demand for ows ranging from 1 psid to the maximum pressure drop/ow.
• A ow sensor option gives BASyC™ the capability to provide the most accurate ow and energy data
at all user demand requirements.
• BASyC™ units are shipped with a standard 120vac/60hz cord/plug. The unit is capable of being
hardwired but this can be done after installation and start-up, thereby eliminating the need for
electrical coordination/timing.

Special note to all users of Acorn Command Stations and multi-valve supply xtures
installed without BASyC™ capabilities:
Acorn Controls Command Stations or Multi-Valve (SFMMV) supply xtures installed without Acorn BASyC™
can be upgraded at a later date to include any of its capabilities. This is done by ordering a BASyC™
upgrade kit and requires no change in plumbing, piping or system operation. Simply install the items
included in the kit and your system is ready to go. This is an exclusive benet to purchasers of these systems
who decide after-the-fact that they would benet from the capabilities of Acorn BASyC™.
BASyC™ Control Cabinet - includes capability for
2 loops (temp. zones) and up to 4 Mixing Valves.

PRE-INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
INSTALLATION
Use qualied tradespeople to install the Acorn BASyC system and follow all manufacturer’s instructions,
local codes, and regulations. The BASyC™ system should be installed in an area that is secure from
unauthorized personnel. Only allow trained personnel to access and/or work with the Acorn BASyC™
System. It is the responsibility of the system owner/user to determine the appropriate temperatures and
settings. Refer to Appendix A (Page 32) for the list of default values and applicable adjustment ranges.
Important:
Flush supply lines of all foreign material such as pipe dope, chips or solder
prior to connecting to mixing valve.
Review the installation and maintenance manual thoroughly before beginning any work.
Installation and eld adjustment are the responsibility of the installer. Optional pre-congured units
and/or start-up assistance are available, please contact Acorn for details.

Mixing Valve Hardware
For more information on capabilities, options, installation/maintenance and piping requirements for the Acorn
Command Stations or Multi-Valve Supply Fixtures provided as a part of your Acorn BASyC™ system please
go to the Acorn Controls website at: http://www.acorneng.com/thermostatic-Mixing-Valves-controls.
If Upgrading System
Important Upgrade notes:
• The Temperature probe should be inserted into the compression tting so that 1” of the SS sensor is sticking
out from the tting. This ensures the probe is located properly in the waterway. Install sensors using coding
as dened in Appendix B to ensure that temperature sensors are installed properly in a multi-valve and/or
multi-loop assembly.
• The sensors are all labeled per
appendix B, make sure to connect
them in the correct positions so
that the software receives the
proper data.

Bonnet Upgrade-to-BASyC™ Installation Instructions
• Isolate the mixing valve’s inlets and outlet using the ball valves included with every Command Stations or
other upgradeable Acorn Controls Mixing Station.
• Unthread the existing bonnet. Make sure all internal components remain in the valve. There’s no need to
remove or change any internal component.
• Install the upgrade bonnet, noting the longer stem that’s designed to accept the Belimo Actuator provided
in the upgrade kit.
Electronic Actuator Installation Instructions
• Ensure that the actuator stem is manually adjusted fully up as shown in picture.
See page 29 for operating the actuator manually.
• Slide the actuator over the stem and make sure it’s ush with the bonnet.
• Be sure there is no gap between the actuator base and bonnet stem.
• Using a 4mm hex wrench, tightened the cap screws that secure the actuator to the bonnet.
• Slide the black-colored clip on the actuator adapter toward the valve to secure the adapter to the stem of
the bonnet.
• You’ve completed the bonnet upgrade/conversion and need to “auto-range” the bonnet to the valve.
Auto-Ranging (aka Adapting) the Actuator:
• Turn on power to the system.
• Push the “Adapt” button on the actuator and hold for 3 seconds.
• A steady yellow “Status” LED conrms the actuator is in adapter mode. When Adapting is complete,
approx. 3 minutes, only solid green Adapt LED remains lit.

CONTROL CABINET ASSEMBLY
BASyC™ systems are either pre-wired or
upgradable and the control cabinet needs to
be mounted as shown below. The Controller is
provided mounted on a custom SS bracket and
is shipped with the mounting hardware required
to attach it to the strut framing. The bottom of
each control cabinet should be positioned so
it is in line with the lowest, leftmost valve hot &
cold inlet. If you’re required to mount in another
location due to space limitations or convenience,
extensions and/or custom brackets can be
provided, please contact Acorn.
