BACNET CONFIGURATIONS

BACnet and What to Know
BACnet capability is ONLY available on premium models which
come with the wiring connector needed to connect the unit to a
BACnet network.
BACnet is a communications protocol for Building Automation
and Control (BAC) networks that leverage the ASHRAE, ANSI,
and ISO 16484-5 standard protocol.
BACnet was designed to allow communication of building auto-
mation and control systems for applications such as heating,
ventilating, and air-conditioning control (HVAC), water heating,
etc. The BACnet protocol provides mechanisms for comput-
erized building automation devices to exchange information,
regardless of the particular building service they perform.
It is important to understand that Rheem in no way supports
BACnet itself. We are only able to provide direction within our
product to the location for data input. For example, if a a BACnet
Facilitator called needing to input their configurations, we would
be asked to direct him or her to the location in our menu to enter
their configurations. IF AN END USER CALLS REQUESTING
BACNET SUPPORT, WE MUST DIRECT THEM TO THEIR
BACNET FACILITATOR OR IT SPECIALIST.
Configurations
When speaking with a BACnet facilitator, walk the caller through
how to access configuration settings in order to input their
EXISTING network numbers. (We do not provide these...These
come from their network/BACnet facilitator)
