PHYSICAL NETWORK CONNECTION
The 8P8C (“RJ-45”) Ethernet socket is located on the pCOWeb interface card. The pCOWeb card occupies the serial card
slot directly below the keypad built into the CM1 control module. This control module is located in the main control panel
of the PoolPak dehumidifier.
The Ethernet connection to the interface card should comply with standard installation practices. Use care to route the cable
away from sources of interference and keep the maximum cable length less than 300 feet.
CONTROL POINTS MAPPING
80 objects are accessible through the BACnet interface. Set points, sensor values, and enumerated variables are shared
as analog-value objects. Status information points are shared as binary-value objects. The interface card is pre-configured
at the factory with a device instance number of 77000. To change this value, follow the instructions shown in the Interface
Card Field Setup and Configuration section of this document.
