AbsolutAire UC-3 Lite control system (heating and ventilating) BACnet points list
Updated 12 November 2026
The UC-3 Lite is AbsolutAire's simpler heat-and-vent unit controller, running the burner to a space or discharge temperature with optional VFD and mixed-air damper. It joins a BACnet MS/TP network with its MAC address set on DIP switches. The BMS turns the unit off, on or to auto with network_UnitEnableCommand, sets occupancy, mode and heat setpoints, and can send its own space temperature.
This page lists 50 BACnet objects for the AbsolutAire UC-3 Lite control system (heating and ventilating) — 17 of them writable — with each object’s type, instance number, name, engineering units and access. It is re-typed from AbsolutAire’s own free documentation, linked below.

BMS integration notes: AbsolutAire UC-3 Lite control system (heating and ventilating)
Use network_UnitEnableCommand (the guide marks it as the point to command the unit on and off) with OFF, ON or AUTO, then set occupancy, HVAC mode and the occupied/unoccupied heat setpoints. If the BMS supplies the space temperature, write network_SpaceTemperatureOverride (255 returns control to the local sensor). Watch fan and burner status and the alarm BVs.
Minimum points to map
The short list most integrators start with — enough to run the unit from a BMS. Map more as the job needs.
| Object | Name | Why | Access |
|---|---|---|---|
| MV 11 | network_UnitEnableCommand | Unit command: OFF / ON / AUTO | Write |
| BV 11 | network_OccupancyCommand | 0 occupied, 1 unoccupied | Write |
| BV 12 | network_HVAC_Mode | 0 vent, 1 heat | Write |
| AV 26 | network_OccupiedHeatSetPoint | Occupied heat setpoint, 55-150 °F | Write |
| AV 33 | network_SpaceTemperatureOverride | Space temp from the BMS; 255 = use local sensor | Write |
| BV 1 | FanStatus | Fan running status | Read |
| BV 23 | BurnerStatus | Burner on/off status | Read |
| AV 3 | DischargeTemperature | Discharge air temperature | Read |
| BV 4 | BurnerLockoutAlarm | Burner lockout | Read |
| BV 8 | MotorNotRespondingAlarm | Fan motor did not start | Read |
Enable & remote start
network_UnitEnableCommand (MV 11): OFF / ON / AUTO. The guide marks it as the point to command the unit on and off; AUTO cycles the unit per BV 14 and BV 15.
Sensors & values from the BMS
network_SpaceTemperatureOverride (AV 33) replaces the local space sensor with an averaged or network temperature; write 255 to go back to the local sensor. AV 6 shows the value in use.
Network setup
- The MS/TP MAC address is set on the controller's DIP switches (switch 1 = least significant bit).
- Baud rate is detected automatically after a power cycle.
- Device instance = 3640 followed by the MAC address (MAC 25 gives 364025).
Watch out for
- Do not write the hardware I/O or factory configuration objects; the override alarm BVs trip when a hardware output is overridden from the network.
- LowDischargeTempAlarm is reset by commanding the unit off and then on.
- Burner reset works on a change of state of BV 24.

Integration notes
- The Network Points List in the guide is printed as an image; values were keyed by hand from the rendered page and checked row by row.
- The table also lists the controller's physical I/O as 'Hardware Input n' / 'Hardware Output n' (14 rows) without a BACnet object type; they are left out. The guide marks them do-not-write.
- For many binary objects the guide prints only the facet text, e.g. Boolean (ALARM;NORMAL), without saying which state is 1; the occupancy, HVAC mode and control-type commands give 0/1 meanings.
- MV 11 network_UnitEnableCommand is OFF / ON / AUTO; the guide does not print the state numbers. AUTO lets the unit cycle per BV 14 and BV 15.
- Objects marked [DO NOT WRITE] or factory configuration are listed as read-only.
Check it against the live device. A points list tells you what the controller can expose; the unit in front of you may differ by firmware or installed options. This list is provided as-is for reference only and may contain mistakes — confirming it before you write, map or commission anything is up to you (terms). Easy BACnet scans a network for BACnet IP devices from an Android phone, reads every object on the UC-3 Lite control system (heating and ventilating) and exports what it actually has to Excel — free.

Questions about the AbsolutAire UC-3 Lite control system (heating and ventilating)
How many BACnet points does the AbsolutAire UC-3 Lite control system (heating and ventilating) have?
This list has 50 BACnet objects: 18 analog values, 26 binary values, 6 multi-state values. The exact set on a given unit depends on its firmware, installed options and configuration.
Which AbsolutAire UC-3 Lite control system (heating and ventilating) BACnet points are writable?
17 of the 50 objects accept a write. Points marked Command have a priority array: a write holds until it is released, so release it back to automatic when you are done.
Where is the official AbsolutAire UC-3 Lite control system (heating and ventilating) BACnet documentation?
The source is UC-3 Lite User Guide - Network Integration / Network Points List (UC-3 Lite User Guide 091121), published free by AbsolutAire at https://www.absolutaire.com/wp-content/uploads/uc-3_lite_user_guide.pdf.
What are the minimum BACnet points to integrate the AbsolutAire UC-3 Lite control system (heating and ventilating)?
Start with MV 11 network_UnitEnableCommand (Unit command: OFF / ON / AUTO); BV 11 network_OccupancyCommand (0 occupied, 1 unoccupied); BV 12 network_HVAC_Mode (0 vent, 1 heat); AV 26 network_OccupiedHeatSetPoint (Occupied heat setpoint, 55-150 °F); AV 33 network_SpaceTemperatureOverride (Space temp from the BMS; 255 = use local sensor); BV 1 FanStatus (Fan running status); BV 23 BurnerStatus (Burner on/off status); AV 3 DischargeTemperature (Discharge air temperature); BV 4 BurnerLockoutAlarm (Burner lockout); BV 8 MotorNotRespondingAlarm (Fan motor did not start).
How do I enable BMS control of the AbsolutAire UC-3 Lite control system (heating and ventilating)?
network_UnitEnableCommand (MV 11): OFF / ON / AUTO. The guide marks it as the point to command the unit on and off; AUTO cycles the unit per BV 14 and BV 15.
Can the BMS supply sensor values to the AbsolutAire UC-3 Lite control system (heating and ventilating)?
network_SpaceTemperatureOverride (AV 33) replaces the local space sensor with an averaged or network temperature; write 255 to go back to the local sensor. AV 6 shows the value in use.
How do I check these points on the real UC-3 Lite control system (heating and ventilating)?
Scan the network with a BACnet IP browser such as Easy BACnet, open the device and compare its object list with this table. Anything missing is usually an option that isn't installed or a point that is disabled in the controller's configuration.
