15 The BACview Interfaces
The BACview is a Human-Machine Interface (HMI) that interfaces with the FHP560 controller, enabling the user to view and change property
values, and/or control parameters, to match a corresponding application. It also provides a means of accessing and modifying the controller’s
schedule and real time clock in applications where a system server or Building Automation System (BAS) is not available. The interface is offered
in two forms: as a hand-held BACview module or in the form of an application called Virtual BACview.
15.1 BACview Hand-held Module
The BACview module is a combination keypad/display unit that connects to the controller either via the onboard local access serial port, or via a
port under a ZS Sensor that is connected to the controller. The module can be purchased as a kit (8733927406) that includes the hand-held device
and connecting cable. The contrast of the LCD display can be adjusted by turning the contrast screw clockwise or counterclockwise with a small
screwdriver.

15.2 Virtual BACview
Virtual BACview provides the end-user an interface to the FHP560 by way of a laptop and a purchased USB interface cable (8733927403). Once
the cable is purchased, the corresponding driver will need to be downloaded and installed before using the software. The USB end of the cable is
connected to the laptop, and the serial end is connected to the controller or ZS Sensor.
The BACview program, cable driver, and instructional manual are all available for free download at the Bosch website. The Virtual BACview
software interface provides the same functionality as the hand-held module when connected to a controller, with some additional bene
fi
ts such as:
the
fl
exibility of using a mouse or keyboard to modify control parameters, and the added convenience of changing the screen size (rows only) to
display more information at the same time.
