Communications Wiring - Distech Controls Smart Air Control Valve Installation Manual

Subnet Wiring
Supported Allure Series communicating sensors may be connected to the SUBNET port modular connector of the controller with a standard Category 5e
Ethernet patch cable fitted with RJ-45 connectors.
The ECLYPSE User Guide provides extensive information and requirements for the connection of an Allure series communicating sensor. It contains
information about network topology and length, cable type, setting the Subnet ID, etc. It can be downloaded from our website. See also the Hardware
Installation Guide supplied with the Allure series communicating sensor.

Communications Wiring

The ECLYPSE User Guide provides extensive information and requirements to implement a BACnet IP network. It contains information about network
topology, wire length restrictions, cable type, device IP addressing, radio path planning (when the ECLYPSE Wi-Fi Adapter is connected to the
controller), etc. It can be downloaded from our website. For optimal performance, use Distech Controls category 5e network cable or refer to the
ECLYPSE User Guide for cable specifications.
There are two methods to connect to the controller: wired (Ethernet connection) or wireless (when the ECLYPSE Wi-Fi Adapter is connected to the con-
troller).
Wired Connection
Network connections can be daisy-chained. Using the color-coded scheme on the external quick connect box, connect the SUBNET (BLUE) and
Ethernet ports (BLACK) as shown in Figure 5.

The QR code on the quick connect box label, located on the controller cabinet's door, encodes the SACV's MAC address and host ID. You can scan it
with the Xpress Network Companion mobile app to configure the controller. See Configuring the Controller [pg. 8] for more information.
A default Allure UNITOUCH sensor is provided separately and can be wired to the external subnet connection port in field.
Wireless Connection
Once the optional ECLYPSE Wi-Fi Adapter has been connected to the controller, a Wi-Fi hotspot becomes available that allows you to connect to the
controller's configuration Web interface with your PC.
On your PC's wireless networks, look for an access point named ECLYPSE-XXYYZZ where XXYYZZ are the last 6 hexadecimal characters of the con-
troller's MAC address (see above). The default password for the wireless network is: eclypse1234
