Communications via BACnet

 

 

Make sure that the Mac Address is unique on the serial loop and the Device ID is unique in your BACnet network.

Communications LED indicator for BACnet meters

The LED indicates the status of the meter’s communications with the network.

LED state

Description

 

 

The LED is off

Communication is not active.

 

 

The LED is flashing
