Product Usage Instructions
To use the TruVuTM Universal Controller, follow the instructions below:
-
Ensure that the controller is securely mounted either on a DIN rail or using screws.
-
Connect the power supply to the controller. Use a 24Vac power source with a frequency of 50 – 60Hz and a power rating of 55VA. Alternatively, a 24Vdc power source can be used with a power rating of 20W (or 80VA / 35W if additional Act Net devices are
connected). -
Establish communication with the controller by connecting it to the network. The controller features dual Ethernet ports with built-in fail-safe. You can use direct connection or daisy chain topologies using BACnet/IP. Connect the Ethernet ports to the
network using appropriate cables. -
If communication with third-party devices is required, connect the RS-485 port on the controller to the respective devices. Ensure the communication settings (baud rate) are compatible.
-
If using ZS sensors, iVu Equipment Touch, or TruVu ET Displays, connect them to the Rnet port on the controller. Make sure to provide external power if required.
-
For Act Net communicating devices, use the Act Net port on the controller to establish communication.
-
If you need to perform configuration, wireless service access, firmware updates, or controller recovery, use the USB Service port. Connect a TruVu ET Display to access these features.
-
Configure the Universal Inputs based on your requirements. The inputs can be electronically configured to different types such as Dry, Pulse Counting, Thermistor, or 0-10 Vdc.
-
Utilize the Real Time Clock feature to keep track of time in case of a power failure. The clock can retain time for at least 3 days without power.
Please refer to the provided user manual for detailed instructions on specific usage scenarios and advanced features.
