BACnet Communication Module User Guide Introduction The SKH4 High-Pressure Atomizer BACnet Communication Module User Guide provides information about using the humidifiers with BACnet communications feature. The BACnet communication protocol for building automation and control networks enables communication between client devices within a network. The humidifier provides a BACnet network interface between BACnet client devices and Neptronic humidifiers.

SKH4 High-Pressure Atomizer BACnet Communication Module User Guide Property Value Writable Property_List List of properties that exist within the object. Object Types Supported The following table lists all the BACnet properties supported for each object type. Most of the properties are locked. The exception is Present_Value, which represents the dynamic operating values of the device, and the Status_Flag, Event_State, and Reliability properties, which reflect the availability of the Present_Value.
Page 9
Out_of_Service Property Neptronic humidifiers offer the use of the Out_of_Service writable property. When the value of this property is set to True, it disconnects the object from the physical input, enabling you to input other values. This is useful for special applications or while troubleshooting.
