Delta Controls Red5-PLUS/EDGE-6 Series

To Next Page

This guide describes how to install and configure a Red5-PLUS/EDGE-6xx controller. If you are using the

Proviso™ App, you will need an Android or iOS device with Proviso installed. Download the app for free from

Google Play or the App Store.

Installation

Follow all applicable electrical codes and regulations. Connect to a Class 2 power source only.

Wiring guidelines

The Red5 requires a 24 VDC/VAC power supply.

• For power and I/O wiring, use 18 AWG 2-conductor copper wire.

• For network cabling, use Cat5e or Cat6 cables.

Ground all devices according to Delta Controls Wiring and Installation Guidelines.

Up to 30 devices can be daisy chained using the ETH1 and ETH2 ports as long as the distance between the

devices does not exceed 100 m (330 ft). A bypass switch allows the devices to relay data in a power failure

scenario.

However, the maximum cable length is reduced by 15 m (50 ft) for each bypassed device.

Mounting the Red5

1. The Red5 comes in a plastic enclosure that is designed to be installed onto a 35 mm × 7.5 mm top-hat DIN

rail.

2. Mount the Red5in an appropriate location within packaged equipment or within another enclosure that

meets code requirements. Alternatively, the controller can be mounted with four screws (without using

DIN rail) via the 4 holes provided on the mounting clips.

Setup

Connecting to the Red5

There are three ways to connect your Red5:

• Proviso App

• Embedded Web Server

• enteliWEB

Proviso App

To set up the Red5 using the Proviso app, you must have Bluetooth

and location services enabled on your

mobile device . For best performance, your device should support Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) version 5.0 or

later.

1. Open the Proviso app and select Bluetooth for your connectivity method. Select a device to initiate a

connection. Nearby devices are listed by their Bluetooth MAC address.

2. A pairing request dialog displays. Select Pair.

3. Select Yes, Connect. You can now view device information in the Diagnostics tab.

Summary

Installation and Wiring

Electrical and Network Requirements

Follow electrical codes, use Class 2 power, 18 AWG wire for power/I/O, Cat5e/Cat6 for network, and ground devices.

Device Chaining

Up to 30 devices can daisy-chain via ETH1/ETH2 up to 100m, with bypass reducing cable length.

Setup and Configuration

Connecting to the Red5

Describes three methods to connect: Proviso App, Embedded Web Server, and enteliWEB.

Proviso App Connection

Steps to connect via the Proviso App using Bluetooth, including pairing and confirmation.

Embedded Web Server Connection

Connect directly via Ethernet to the controller's IP address (169.254.178.50) using default credentials.

enteliWEB Connection

Connect using enteliWEB, requiring a valid license and PC for setup.

Configuring Red5 Settings

Configure network settings (IP, DHCP/Static) and security PIN via Proviso App, Embedded Web Server, or enteliWEB.

The Red5-PLUS/EDGE-6xx is a controller designed for building automation and control systems. It can be installed and configured using various methods, including a mobile application (Proviso™ App), an embedded web server, or a comprehensive web-based platform (enteliWEB).

Function Description

The Red5-PLUS/EDGE-6xx controller facilitates the management and control of building systems. It supports daisy-chaining of up to 30 devices, allowing for scalable network configurations. A bypass switch is integrated to maintain data relay in the event of a power failure, enhancing system reliability. The device can be configured for both static IP addressing and DHCP, offering flexibility in network integration. It also incorporates security features, such as a 6-digit PIN for securing Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) read/write access, to protect device settings and data.
