Setting the BAUD Rate (optional – ECB series controllers only)
By default, the BAUD rate for the controller is set to automatically detect the current communication BAUD rate of the connected BACnet MS/TP network
(AUTO). This is the preferred setting for a controller. However, at least one controller on the BACnet MS/TP network data bus must have its BAUD rate
set. The preference is to set the building controller’s BAUD rate (if present). Otherwise, set the BAUD rate on one controller that will set the BAUD rate
for all other controllers (to act as the master for setting the BAUD rate).
When the BAUD rate is set to AUTO, the controller cannot initiate any communication until it has detected the baud
rate of the BACnet MS/TP network. If all controllers on the BACnet MS/TP network are set to AUTO, then all
controllers will not communicate.
Set the connected controller’s BAUD rate as follows:
1. Connect an Allure EC-Smart-Vue Series Communicating Sensor sensor to the controller with a Cat 5e patch cable. Wait for the display to show the
room temperature.
2. Press and hold the Menu button
for 5 seconds to enter the password menu. 10000 is shown on the display.
OR
Screen Timeout: 15 seconds
3. Use the down button
to set the number to 9995 (this is the default password).
OR
Screen Timeout: 15 seconds
4. Press the Menu button
to submit the password. Upon submitting the password, the GEN CFG menu appears on the display.
OR
Screen Timeout: 30 seconds
5. Press the down button
once to enter the GEN CFG submenu.
6. Use the Menu button
several times until BAUD RATE appears on the display. The current controller’s BAUD rate is shown.
OR
Screen Timeout: 30 seconds
7. Use the up and down buttons
to set the controller’s Baud rate. The AUTO setting detects and uses the current baud rate being used by the
BACnet MS/TP network.
8. Press the Menu button
once to apply the value.
9. Press and hold the Menu button
for 5 seconds to exit the configuration menu.
