(MS/TP) controllers 

supported 

60 

Maximum number of control 

programs 

199

Third-party integration 

points 

 attached) 

26 Vdc (25 V min, 30 V max) 

Single Class 2 source only, 100 VA or less 

500 

Communication ports 

Port E1 

 

For Ethernet LAN, BACnet IP, and Modbus TCP/IP 

communication at 10 or 100 Mbps, half duplex  

(10/100 BaseT Ethernet):  

 

Both 

Assigned

 (default) and 

DHCP

 IP addressing are supported 

and DIP switch selectable  

Port S1 

(BACnet MS/TP):  

 

For communication with Open and third-party controllers via 

BACnet MS/TP at 9600 bps, 19.2 kbps, 38.4 kbps, or 76.8 

kbps (DIP switch selectable). Default is 76.8k bps. 

 

BT485

 may need to be installed on 

Port S1

 if the i-Vu Open 

Link is at the beginning or end of a network segment. The 

BT485

 adds bias and terminates a network segment. 

Port S2

 (Configurable EIA-485/EIA-232 port for third-party network 

connections, including): 

 

Modbus (RTU) - 9600 bps, 19.2 kbps, 38. 4 kbps 

 

LonWorks (requires SLTA-10 adapter)  

Local Access

 (115.2k bps port):  

 

For i-Vu Open Link configuration using a terminal program 

(such as Windows Hyperterminal) via RS-232 

 

For system start-up and troubleshooting using Carrier tools via 

Rnet  

Real time clock 

Battery-backed real-time clock keeps track of time in event of 

power failure 

Battery 

10-year Lithium CR123A battery provides a maximum of 720 hours 

data retention during power outages. The battery retains time, 

trend data, alarm data, configuration data, and operating 

parameters in the event of power failure.To conserve battery life, 

battery backup turns off after a specified number of days defined in 

the controller driver.
