Setting the Controller's MAC Address
The controller's MAC address can be set as follows:
• Through a DIP switch located on its faceplate or under the cover.
• Through a password-protected menu of a connected Allure EC-Smart-Vue sensor.
• Through the controller's color LCD screen (50 Series controller).
Setting the Controller's MAC Address Through a DIP Switch
The MAC address on most devices can be set through a DIP switch located on its faceplate or
under the cover (in the case of an ECB-103 or ECB-VAV series controller - when equipped).
This can be done before the controller is installed or powered up.
An example of how to set the device's MAC address DIP switch is shown below for a Distech
Controls' ECB 24V-powered controller on the left, and for a Distech Controls' ECB-PTU 208
controller on the right.
Figure 23: Typical Device MAC Address DIP Switch Set to 82
The address is the sum of the numbers set to ON. For example, if the second (2), fifth (16),
and seventh (64) DIP switches are set to ON (or to the right position), the device MAC address
is 82 (2 + 16 + 64). Addresses from 3 to 127 are recommended to be used (see Table 7). See
also How to Set a Dip Switch on page 131.
The controller must be power cycled after the MAC address DIP switch setting has been
changed for the new MAC address setting to take effect.
For more information about how to set the device's MAC address, refer to the device's hard-
ware installation guide.
