Configuring the BCI-R
RF-SVN03F-EN 19
What To Do After Adding Options
or Equipment to the Unit
Restoring the BCI-R controller to factory defaults is
necessary if the unit setup has changed after the initial self-
configuration process. This process is called “clearing the
controller”.
For example, an economizer was added to the machine
after the initial
installation. In order for the BCI-R controller
to recognize the economizer, it must be restored to factory
defaults.
The BCI-R controller self-configures upon initial power-up
to match the
connected equipment type. This
configuration is then permanently stored in the memory of
the controller. Through this process, the controller
generates the correct list of BACnet points.
Clearing the Controller and Restoring
Factory Defaults to the BCI-R
Clearing the controller is necessary to collect equipment
information and reinstall the configuration.
Using the BACnet Setup Tool to clear the
controller and restore to factory defaults
1. Navigate to the Controller Settings screen.
2. Click within the light gray area at the bottom left of the
screen just above
the "Connected" indicator.
The Clear Controller button appears at the top right of
the screen.
3. Click Clear Controller.
A
message box appears stating that the configuration
will be reset
(deleted).
4. Click OK.
When the controller is cleared, the Select Device Units
message box appears.
5.
Click OK and then expand
the Controller Units box on
the Controller Settings screen.
6. Select the units (SI, IP, or Custom).
Note: This selection defaults
to Custom after clearing
the controller. If you want to use Custom,
ensure that all unit options are set correctly.
7. Click Save.
Using Tracer TU to clear the controller and
restore to factory defaults
1. Establish the connection between Tracer TU and the
BCI-R controller.
2. Select the Controller Settings Utility tab
from the
vertical tab set located on the right side of the TU
window.
3. On the controller settings page, there is a gray bar at
the bottom with
the Save/Cancel buttons. Move the
cursor near the left edge of the gray bar, keeping the
cursor
inside the bar; click on this area. A Clear
Controller button will appear in the upper right portion
of the screen display.
4. Click the Clear Controller button and
a pop-up window
will appear with a message that asks for confirmation
to reset the device. Click Yes.
5. A pop-up window will appear confirming that the
controller has been
reset and that the controller will be
restarted. Click OK. The BCI-R controller is restored to
its factory default state after it restarts.
6. Follow the steps in “Configuring the BCI-R” to
reconfigure the controller.
Updating the Application Code
The application code in the BCI-R controller can be
upgraded in the field by using Tracer TU. Follow the
instructions in Tracer TU to upgrade the application code.
