(Only applicable with use of optional 24V power supply)

LAN(POE) Cable Port

• PoE Cable

• 4 screws

• Screwdriver

• airConfig Software (http://download.magnum-innovations.net)

Mounting Instructions

• Screw backplate to wall or ceiling

NOTE: Optimal mounting is at or below ceiling height and in conditioned environment.

NOTE: Range can vary greatly based on building materials, device positioning, interferance, etc.

Reference the EnOcean Range Planning Guide prior to installation.

• Attach device to backplate by aligning tabs and twisting / locking into place (see below)

Configuration Process

• Download and install airConfig (http://download.magnum-innovations.net)

- Select USB port with USB-transceiver or network card.

- The eBox may be configured without the USB-Tranceiver when it can be reached on the network.

- The eBox factory default is DHCP, so it will receive and IP Address if a DHCP server is available.

- If your computer running airConfig is on the network, you will be able to configure the device without the USB-transceiver.

Configuration Process

• Please find the airConfig panel overview below.

Radio query

(with EnOcean USB-Transceiver)

IP query when IP address is

(does not require USB-Transceiver)

• If airConfig is started without the USB-Transceiver, it will identify EBOXES on the same network automatically.
The EBOXES will not need to be queried.

Network Settings

• DHCP

• WLAN

• IP Address

• MAC Address of the EBOX

Active TCP/IP Connection

• Without an active connection, only

the network settings can be adjusted.

• airConfig requires a network connection
to the EBOX for full configuration.

Control / Security

• Reboot - Reboots the EBOX

• Reset - Factory reset that deletes all current configuration as well as inputs and outputs

• Change ID - Changes the Base ID of the radio Chip. CAN ONLY BE DONE 10 TIMES!

• EDE - See page 14

• Key - Configuration keys to lock the device.

Information on the radio chip of

the EBOX

• XML and Firmware Version (1)

• BACnet Location

•BACnet ID and port

• XML Type (2)

• Firmware Update

The EBOX can automatically check for

new firmware. You can specify the

frequency of how often the EBOX

check for new firmware. This feature

requires internet access for the EBOX.

(1) Actual firmware version of the EBOX and XML file. airConfig will prompt if there is a new firmware
version available. In a case where the EBOX has direct internet access, it will also have a BACnet
point that indicates a new firmware’s availability.

The XML file contains all EnOcean profiles and is updated regularly.

(2) EBOX points are created based on the XML file. The standard XML file shows temperature values
in °C. This can be changed to °F. Since all sensors send in °C, this is the recommended unit.

Configuration Process

FDR Settings

FDR Settings - In a case where a BBMD server is present on the network, the EBOX can be configured as a
foreign device.

The EBOX is NOT a BBMD server!

Configuration Process

Drag and drop Sensors to

the Input panel

11

Sensors can be added to the EBOX by simply dragging and dropping sensors from the Sensor panel to the
Inputs panel.

You can rename, delete and change the BACnet ID of the sensors. You will need to send the configuration to
the EBOX first and read it again.

Configuration Process

12

To add outputs to the EBOX, select profile and manufacturer and click on the “+”.

Options:

- Rename: Renames the output. Renaming allows you to add additional information to
each BACnet point that a device creates. You are able to add text to the
beginning / end of the Name or Description to provide additional identifiers
(Room numbers, Oce names, etc.).

- Delete: Deletes the output.

- Add to sensor list: Adds output to the sensor list so it can be used as an input for the device it is
supposed to control

- Destination / MsgServer: Some devices need to be addressed (instead of using broadcast messages).
Others may only be able to receive commands in a very short window, after
they have sent a message themselves. Both can be configured here. Please
refer to the device manual.

- Send LRN: Sends a learn telegram to the sensor. LRN sends 1 4BS learn telegram

- LRN(3x): Sends 3 consecutive learn telegrams.

- LRN(UTE): Sends 1 UTE telegram (please refer to device manual)

- Change BACnet ID: Take from input

Configuration Process

13

Backup Type

Local or Cloud

airConfig can backup and restore all of its configuration, including inputs and outputs either to your local
HDD or to the Cloud.

Change base ID will also change the Base ID of the new EBOX if the destination device is dierent from the
source. This will allow the new EBOX to control all the devices that the old one did.

A Base ID can only be changed 10 times.

Configuration Process

Drag Magnum Auto Learn

Compatible Devices from

the “Sensors” panel into

the “Auto Learn” panel.

Auto Learn

Magnum Auto Learn compatible devices enable the EBOXs to learn in devices based on signal strength. In
installations where the devices fall into multiple EBOXs range, Auto Learn will allow the EBOXs to study the
signal strength for the devices. After a 5-6 hour period, the EBOXs will use that information to assign the
devices to the ideal EBOX.

You are able to Save / Load these Auto Learn lists and apply them to multiple EBOXs.

Rename Data Points

Renamed points are shared

in the EBOX and will visible in

the BACnet system.

Select inputs / outputs and EBOX points.

Since data points are created in the EBOX, you will need to send / receive the configuration before you can
edit the EDE file.
