Safety requirements
These instructions are intended exclusively for authorised contractors.
All installation and wiring work on the device must only be carried out in a zero
volt state.
The opening, connection and commissioning of the device may only be carried
out by competent personnel. While doing so, they must observe all local safety
requirements.
This device is state of the art and meets all necessary safety regulations. It may only be used in accordance with the technical data and the safety requirements and regulations listed below. When using the device, also observe the statutory and safety regulations apposite to the particular use. Any
other use will automatically void all warranty rights.
► The device must only be installed in a dry interior room.
► Solar thermal systems can become very hot. Consequently there is a risk of burns. Proceed with
caution when fitting temperature sensors.
► For safety reasons, the outputs should only be left in manual mode when testing. In this operating
mode, no maximum temperatures or sensor functions are monitored.
► Safe operation is no longer possible if the CAN monitor or connected equipment exhibits visual
damage, no longer functions or has been stored for lengthy periods in unsuitable conditions. If this
is the case, disable the CAN monitor and equipment and secure against unintentional use.
Maintenance
If treated and used correctly, the device will not require any maintenance. Use a cloth moistened with
mild alcohol (such as methylated spirits) to clean. Never use corrosive cleaning agents or solvents
such as chloroethylene or trichloroethylene.
No components relevant to long term accuracy are subject to loading if the device is used correctly.
Consequently long term drift is extremely low. The device therefore cannot be calibrated. Thus applying any compensation is impossible.
The design characteristics of the device must not be changed during repairs. Spare parts must correspond to the original spare parts and must be used in accordance with the build version.
6
Disposal
➢ Devices no longer in use or beyond a state of repair must be disposed of in an
environmentally responsible manner by an authorised collection point. They
must never be treated as ordinary household waste.
➢ We can undertake the environmentally responsible disposal of devices sold by
Technische Alternative upon request.
➢ Packaging material must be disposed of in an environmentally responsible
manner.
➢ Incorrect disposal may result in considerable damage to the environment, as many of the mate-
rials used require professional handling.

Principles
The CAN-MTx2 CAN monitor is used as a control and display unit for the freely programmable con-
trollers UVR16x2 and RSM610 as well as all other devices in the X2 series.
The CAN monitor has a combined temperature and humidity sensor built in and can therefore also be
used as a room sensor.
The "Function overview" allows user friendly operation and display of X2 devices in the CAN bus network. The function overview is designed using the TA-Designer software and can comprise several
pages.
As with the UVR16x2, it is operated via a 4.3" touchscreen. It is also possible for multiple CAN monitors in one CAN network to access the available X2 devices at the same time.
7
Installing and connecting the device
Installing the device
The device must only be installed in a dry interior room. For correct detection of the room temperature, the CAN monitor must always be installed vertically.
Permissible ambient temperature: +5°C - +45°C
Press the two locking clamps on the left and right and lift the cover. The control electronics are locat-
ed in the cover.
Screw the base to the flat mounting surface using the supplied fastening materials, ideally with the
opening arranged over a mounting box fitted in the wall at eye level (approx. 1.6 m).

Power supply
The CAN monitor requires a 12 V power supply originating from a freely programmable controller
(UVR16x2 or RSM610). No more than three devices (CAN monitor, CAN-I/O module etc.) can be supplied from each controller. With 4 or more devices in the CAN network, a 12 V power unit is required.
CAN bus connection
The screwless terminals for the CAN bus are located in the base of the CAN monitor. Pressing the
small white button with a screwdriver unlocks the terminal and allows the connected lead to be inserted or removed again. Spring contacts provide the electrical connection to the CAN monitor once it
is fitted.
CAN bus cable selection and network topology
The principles of CAN bus cabling are described extensively in the manuals for the freely programmable controllers. Therefore they are not included here in any detail, apart from the termination.
Each CAN network must be provided with a 120 Ω bus terminator at the first and last network node
(termination with jumper). A CAN network therefore always has two terminators (one at each end).
Spur lines and star-shaped CAN topologies are not permitted by the official specification.
The termination jumper for the CAN monitor is located on the back of the PCB and is visible when the
upper part is removed from the base.
Terminated Not terminated
The CAN monitor is terminated if the jumper is set on the side labelled "term" (as shown above).

ware, total reset
Tap the "Home icon" to go to the Function overview.
12
Date / time / location
The "Date" and "Time" are shown in the status line at top right.
As the CAN monitor does not have its own clock function, the time and date are taken from network
node 1 and cannot be changed in the CAN monitor. For this reason, at least one CAN bus device
which has its own clock function must have the node number 1 (UVR16x2, UVR1611, RSM610, C.M.I.).
Tapping that status field takes you to the menu for the date, time and location details.
Display example:
• Time zone – Specifies the time zone relative to UTC (= "Universal Time Coordinated", also
known as GMT (= Greenwich Mean Time)). In the example, the time zone is set to "UTC +
01:00".
• Summertime – "Yes" if summertime is active.
• Automatic time change – If "Yes", the time will switch over automatically to summertime
according to the specifications of the European Union.
• Date – The current date (dd.mm.yy).
• Time – The current time
13
• GPS latitude – Geographical latitude according to GPS (= global positioning system)
• GPS longitude – Geographical longitude according to GPS
The values for geographical latitude and longitude are used to determine the location-specific solar
data. That data can be used in functions (e.g. shading function).
The factory default settings for the GPS data are for the location of Technische Alternative in
Amaliendorf, Austria.
• Sunrise – Time
• Sunset – Time
• Solar altitude – Specified in ° as measured from the geometric horizon (0°),
zenith = 90°
• Direction of the sun – Specified in ° as measured from the north (0°)
North = 0° / East = 90° / South = 180° / West = 270°
Inputs
The CAN-MTx2 CAN monitor has a combined temperature, humidity and air pressure sensor built in.
In addition, the CAN-MTx2-CO2 CAN monitor has a CO2 sensor. 5 values are displayed in the Inputs
menu: temperature, relative humidity, dew point temperature, absolute air pressure (in mbar) and CO2
content (in ppm). These 5 values are already preset (as shown in the bottom graphic) at inputs 1 – 5.
In CAN-MTx2 (without CO2 sensor), the fifth value is always 0.
14
Sensor correction
The option of sensor correction is available for the measured variables The corrected value is utilised
for all calculations and displays.
Example:
Average
This setting refers to the average of the measurements over time.
Averaging over 0.3 seconds leads to extremely rapid reactions on the part of the display and the unit.
However, this can be expected to cause fluctuations of the value.
A high average value results in lagging and is only recommended for special applications.
For simple measuring operations approx. 1-3 seconds should be selected.
Sensor check for analogue sensors
When "Sensor check" is active (setting: "Yes"), a short circuit or a lead break will automatically
generate an error message: A warning symbol is displayed in the upper status line, and the defective
sensor is shown with a red border around it in the "Inputs" menu.
Example:
Short-circuit of
sensor 1
Standard value
15
Sensor error
When "Sensor check" is active, Sensor error is available as the source for digital CAN outputs: status
"No" for a sensor that is working correctly and "Yes" for a defect (short circuit or lead break). This
allows the controller to react to the failure of a sensor, for example.
In System values / General, a sensor error for all inputs is available.
If the Standard thresholds are selected, a short circuit will be indicated if the value falls below the
lower measurement limit and a lead break will be indicated if the value exceeds the upper
measurement limit.
The Standard values for temperature sensors are -9999.9 °C for a short circuit and 9999.9 °C for a
lead break. Those values are utilised in the internal calculations in the event of an error.
By selecting the thresholds and values appropriately, a fixed value can be specified for the controller
in the event of sensor failure, in order to allow a function to continue operating in emergency mode.
Example: If the temperature value falls below the threshold of 5.0 °C (= "Threshold value"), a value of
20.0 °C (= "Output value") is issued and displayed for that sensor (fixed hysteresis: 1.0 °C). At the
same time the "Sensor error’ status is set to "Yes".
The short circuit threshold must be defined below the lead break threshold.
Example: The temperature sensor has fallen below 5.0 °C, so 20.0 °C is issued as the
measurement, and a sensor error is displayed at the same time.
Note: In the event of temperature sensor failure, the humidity and dew point will be calculated incorrectly.
Carbon dioxide and safety
Carbon dioxide is a non-toxic and non-flammable gas. However, in higher concentrations it can be life
threatening.
For mechanically ventilated rooms, the Austrian Federal Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, Environment
and Water Management requires a target value below 800 ppm and a maximum value of 1400 ppm.
CO2 requirements for mechanically ventilated interior rooms
(Source: Kohlenstoffdioxid als Lüftungsparameter [Carbon Dioxide as a Ventilation Parameter], August 2011, authors: BOOS,
DAMBERGER, HUTTER, KUNDI, MOSHAMMER, TAPPLER, TWRDIK, WALLNER)
Target range: Individual values < 800 ppm
Minimum specification: Maximum moving hourly average < 1000 ppm
Minimum specification: All individual values in the evaluation period < 1400 ppm
16
Messages from other x2 devices
Depending on the setting in the x2 device, messages from other x2 devices can be displayed on the
CAN monitor with a pop-up window, a changed status LED and/or a warning tone.
The pop-up window works in the same way as on the display of the UVR16x2 controller.
Example: Message type "Error"; warning tone activated
After the message has been triggered and the cause of the fault has been removed, the following dis-
play appears (red):
If the pop-up window has been hidden, it can be shown again by tapping the warning symbol in the
status bar on the left.
More information about generating messages can be found in the programming manuals for the x2devices.

Internal CAN monitor messages
The "Messages" menu displays messages that are caused by sensor or CAN bus errors in the CANMTx2.
Message from other x2 devices are not displayed here.
Example: Fault on input 1
If at least one internal message is active, the warning symbol will appear in the upper status line on
the right. If the message window has been hidden, it can be shown again by tapping the warning
symbol in the status bar.
18
CAN bus
The CAN network allows communication between CAN bus devices. When analogue or digital values
are sent via CAN outputs, other CAN bus devices can utilise those values as CAN inputs.
Up to 62 CAN bus devices can be operated in one network.
Every CAN bus device must be given its own node number in the network.
The cable topology of a CAN bus network is described in the installation instructions.
19
Datalogging
This menu cannot be selected in the User mode.
This menu is used to define the parameters for CAN datalogging of analogue and digital values.
CAN datalogging requires at least version 1.25 on the C.M.I. datalogger and a Winsol version of at
least 2.06.
CAN datalogging is only possible with the C.M.I. datalogger. The data to be logged can be freely
selected. Es erfolgt keine ständige Datenausgabe. There is no constant data output. When requested
by a C.M.I., the controller saves the current values to a logging buffer and locks it to prevent it from
being overwritten (when requests are received from another C.M.I.) until the data is read out and the
logging buffer has been enabled again.
The settings required on the C.M.I. for datalogging via CAN bus are described in the C.M.I.'s online
help.
Each CAN-MTx2 can issue a maximum of 64 digital and 64 analogue values that are defined in the
menu "CAN bus/datalogging" of the CAN-MTx2.
The sources for the logged values can be inputs and CAN bus inputs.
20
CAN settings
Node
Define a unique CAN node number for the device (setting range: 1 – 62). The factory-set node number
of the CAN-MTx2 is 50.
Designation
Every device can be given its own designation.
Bus rate
The standard bus rate of the CAN network is 50 kbit/s (50 kBd), which is specified for most
CAN bus devices.
Important: All devices in the CAN bus network must have the same transfer rate in order to be
able to communicate with each other.
The bus rate can be set to between 5 and 500 kbit/s, with lower bus rates allowing longer cable networks (see installation instructions of the controllers).
CAN inputs
As CAN inputs are of no practical use in the CAN monitor, this sub-menu is not described in this manual.
21
CAN analogue outputs
The 5 analogue inputs are already linked to the first five CAN analogue outputs.
In CAN-MTx2 (without CO2 sensor), the fifth value is always 0.
As there are no other analogue values available as the source for CAN analogue outputs, no instructions are given here for programming other CAN analogue outputs.
Transmission condition
Example:
If change > 1.0 K
If the current value has changed by more than 1.0 K compared to the last
transmitted value, a new transmission is made. The unit used by the
source is applied to the output value (minimum setting: 0.1 K).
Blocking time 10 s
If the value changes by more than 1.0 K within 10 seconds of the last
transmission, the value is nevertheless only transmitted again after
10 seconds (minimum setting: 1 sec.).
Interval time 5 m
The value is transmitted every 5 minutes even if it has not changed by
more than 1.0 K since the last transmission (minimum setting: 1 minute).
22
CAN digital outputs
They are defined by specifying the source in the CAN monitor.
Example: Source "Sensor error inputs"
Designation
Every CAN digital output can be given its own designation. The designation can be selected from various designation groups or can be user defined.
Example:
Transmission condition
Example:
If change Yes/No
Transmission of the value if a status change occurs
Blocking time 10 s
If the value changes within 10 seconds of the last transmission, the value
is nevertheless only transmitted again after 10 seconds (minimum
setting: 1 sec.).
Interval time 5 m
The value is transmitted every 5 minutes even if it has not changed since
the last transmission (minimum setting: 1 minute).
23
Active CAN nodes
Tapping the button displays the active CAN nodes in the CAN bus network.
"Status" displays the CAN bus status of the CAN monitor. After starting, the status changes automati-
cally, according to a predefined process, from init. → preop(erational) → operat(ional). Only then is it
possible to communicate with other CAN bus devices.
Tapping a CAN bus device of the X2 series takes you to the menu of the device.
Other CAN bus devices and the C.M.I. will be displayed, but it is not possible to access their menus.
To return to the menu of the CAN monitor, tap the CAN monitor in this overview.

Reset
Pressing the reset button on the front of the CAN monitor briefly (with a narrow-tip pen) and releasing
it before the beep ends will restart the CAN monitor (= reset).
Loading the firmware with the factory settings
In special cases, it may be necessary to restore the CAN monitor's firmware to its condition when delivered from the factory. A
total reset is carried out at the same time.
Pressing the reset button on the front of the CAN monitor (with a
narrow-tip pen) when switching it on will initiate loading of the
original firmware at the time of delivery.
The button must be pressed until the beep stops.
Calibration
If the touch-sensitive points on the touchscreen no longer align with the background graphics, making
it difficult to operate the CAN monitor, you can re-adjust the touchscreen using "Calibration".
You can start calibration by pressing the touchscreen surface when the TA logo is displayed after the
monitor is started.
The following display appears for five seconds after the monitor is started (the seconds will count
down):
Touching the screen within that time will
start the calibration procedure.
To calibrate, you must touch all 9 target
points separately one after the other.
You then have the option of a total reset or
continuing to the main menu of the CAN
monitor.

User manual - final user
The CAN-MTx2 CAN monitor is used as a control and display unit for the freely programmable controllers UVR16x2 and RSM610 as well as all other devices in the X2 series.
The CAN monitor has a combined temperature and humidity sensor built in and can therefore also be
used as a room sensor.
The wide variety of systems means that a single instruction manual for all application scenarios is not
possible. You should therefore always seek instructions from your heating system installer.
The programmer can create a "Function overview" for user operation. This function overview may
include all X2 devices in the CAN bus network. In the function overview, you can check all important
measurements and change settings in selected functions which are important to you as the user.
In this manual, we explain how to select the function overview. For further information about functions and modifying values, see the operating manuals of the freely programmable controllers
(UVR16x2, RSM610).
Note: Your personal system will normally vary from the examples in the manuals.

User levels
To prevent incorrect operation of the controller, three different user groups can log onto the
controller: User, Technician or Expert. Access by Technicians and Experts requires a password.
User
Displays and permitted actions
User
• Function overview with options for control
• Access to main menu only if enabled for "User" in the "General settings"
• Inputs: display only, no access to the parameters
• Messages: display of active messages
• CAN bus: no access to the parameters
• General settings: language, brightness and display timeout can be altered
• User: change of user (with password entry)
Technician
All of the above plus:
• Access to main menu only if enabled for Technician or User in the "General set-
tings"
• Changes to the parameters for inputs
• General settings: Changes to user defined designations and creation of new
ones
• All settings in the CAN bus menu
• Data administration actions
Expert
All actions and all displays are accessible.
The CAN monitor is operated via a 4.3" touchscreen. For greater ease of use, an operating pen is provided.
View of CAN-MTx2
You can use the pen to tap operating fields on the screen and to scroll through the view displayed in
the main menu.

Function overview
The function overview is freely designed by the programmer and can therefore look different on every
system. It can be displayed with the aid of graphics or simply as a table.
Values selected by the programmer can be changed either by all users, by Experts only or by Experts
and Technicians. Many values (e.g. sensor values) can generally never be changed.
If multiple UVR16x2 controllers or other X2 devices in the system are linked by CAN bus, the function
overview can also be programmed to display the values of other devices.
The function overview can comprise several pages, in which case a Link (= link on the screen linking
to another page) is required for switching to a different page. The appearance of links can be freely
designed by the programmer. Access to some pages may be restricted to certain user groups (with or
without password entry).
The function overview can be programmed with the first page showing an overview of the following
pages with links to those pages.
Touching the relevant link takes you to the display on the required page.
If a function overview was loaded onto the CAN monitor, the display will show the function overview
once it is connected to the CAN bus.
From the main menu, you can access the function overview by tapping the button.
The function overview can be programmed as standard view or full screen view.

Example:
Start page with 4 links
