Tuning Screen The tuning screen is only accessible when the user is logged in (see page 17) Tuning Screen (for reference, the Dehumidify Tuning Screen is pictured to the left) This screen allows the user to adjust any of the parameters used to fine-tune the system control logic.
A VNC connection requires both the remote client (a smartphone can be a remote client) and the EnviroPro PLC to be on the same local network. Typically, this means that the first three numbers separated by dots of both IP addresses must match. For example, 192.168.10.43 and 192.168.10.205 are likely on the same local network because they both...
Page 31
Picture Details Step 2 – Identify the Local Network Subnet Windows: We need to determine the IP address of your remote client so that we can assign a proper IP address to the controller. Ensure your remote client (e.g., a desktop or a smartphone) is connected to the same network as the controller before continuing.

Picture Details Step 3 – Open the HMI Settings Menu Press and hold the upper left corner of the screen for about six seconds until the HMI Settings Menu opens. Page 32 of 57 D002083 Revision A – www.electrotechsystems.com 833-ENV-GURU (833-368-4878)
Page 33
Picture Details Step 4 –Change the Controller’s IP Address This screen displays the controller’s IP address. Compare the controller’s IP address to your remote client’s IP address (determined in Step 2). The controller and the client need to have the same local area network but different host IDs.
