General instructions for Bacview connection and use.
All ALC controllers are programmed to allow a Bacview service tool to be plugged in for monitoring and service
purposes. The Bacview will display information about the unit including: status of all inputs, limit switch status,
countdown of time delays, and in some cases run time logs. The Bacview will also allow adjustment of all adjustable set
points.
The Bacview can be connected to the ALC controller in one of two ways.
1. Service Cable. For quick connection the service cable is the easiest way to hook to multiple units. The service
cable will connect to the 4 pin plug on the back of the Bacview. The service cable will hook up as follows to the
Bacview:
+12 = Red wire
Rnet‐ = Blue wire
Rnet+ = White wire
Gnd = Black wire
The plug on the other end of the service cable will plug into the local access pins on the left side of the ALC
controller.
2. Hard Wired. On the back of the Bacview is a 4 pin plug. This plug is labeled +12v, Rnet‐, Rnet +, & Gnd. A 4 pin
plug identical to this (labeled Rnet local access) is located on the left side of the ALC controller. These two plugs
can simply be hard wired together. If a RSpro t‐stat is already connected to the Rnet plug you can simply
connect the bacview in parallel.

- Page 6 Network Settings. The following only applies to systems with the I/O flex 6126 controller. This problem does not exist with the I/O zone 583 controller. Most of the time when a system is tested in our factory the network settings are automatically cleared so the system will search for the next available network. This allows the customer’s MS/TP network to be connected and read / write to the controller with no additional steps to be taken except the proper setting of the dip switches. If MS/TP communication cannot be established you may have to manually erase the existing network numbers. This can be done with a Bacview plugged into the Rnet local access port. While at any of the above screens you can press and hold down the FN (Function) key plus the 9 key. This will bring up the Network screen. Press the arrow keys to scroll to Arc156. Press enter to edit the existing Arcnet network number. This number needs to be set to zero, and then press enter. Next scroll to the MS/TP network number and change it to your expected MS/TP network number. If you are not sure about your network number you can increase the value to 1 and press enter to save it to the controller. This will force the I/O Flex 6126 to begin searching the MS/TP network port for an available network. Advance network Information. To view more network information you can press and hold down the Fn key plus the 8 key. This will display and give an option to change the Bacnet device instance and Base Bacnet Device ID. ...
