Multi-Variable Monitor DISPLAY NAVIGATION Functionality The MVM is designed to provide ease of use monitoring of multiple variables from BACnet devices. The MVM Home Screen provides monitoring information in a simple format displaying information including Room Status and Isolation Mode. Features Password protected menus.
Multi-Variable Monitor DISPLAY NAVIGATION Home Screen Upon startup of the MVM, the Home Screen is displayed. This Home Screen provides the user with a clear indication of the room mode, status, and pressure reading. Menu button – Opens the navigation menu which allows access to the login screen and the settings menu.
Multi-Variable Monitor DISPLAY NAVIGATION MVM operation When fully set up, the MVM can be interfaced with any BACnet device to monitor environmental measurements and room status. The MVM will change its display to match the room status of the controller that is being monitored. Status LCD Display Normal - Pressure reading within low / high set points...
Multi-Variable Monitor DISPLAY NAVIGATION Settings The Settings are accessible through the Home Screen and are password protected (see previous section). These menus allow the user to change any of the configurable options on the MVM. tCP/iP – Allows the user to adjust the IP address of the device when connecting to a local network.

Multi-Variable Monitor CONFIGURATION STEP 4 Select Discover Devices. This will pull in all of the devices connected via MS/TP or BACnet IP . Caution This list will auto-populate based on what the MVM is able to discover on the BACnet MS/TP or BACnet IP network. If having trouble finding the correct device, please check network settings and wiring.
Multi-Variable Monitor CONFIGURATION STEP 6 Select Datapoints underneath the object that was previously scanned. It will be located in the left hand bar underneath: BACnet Network Scan (Name of Object Scanned)Datapoints note: Once datapoints has been selected and highlighted in blue all associated data points will appear in the window to the right.

Multi-Variable Monitor CONFIGURATION STEP 4 Select the check box for the desired point. Press select to add the datapoint to the main screen. STEP 5 The selected datapoint should appear underneath the corresponding name. STEP 6 In the top bar under select the tab that says Data Point. Ensure that the value changes only box is deselected.
This is strongly recommended. The network speed or baud rate must be the same throughout the network. note: The default speed for Antec Controls BACnet MS/TP controls is 76,800. BACnet MS/TP currently supports 4 standard speeds which are: 9,600, 19,200, 38,400, 76,800.
