Set-up procedure

1. Install Intesis MAPS on your laptop, use the setup program supplied for this and follow the instructions given by

the Installation wizard.

2. Install Intesis in the desired installation site. Installation can be on DIN rail or on a stable not vibrating surface

(DIN rail mounted inside a metallic industrial cabinet connected to ground is recommended).

3. If using BACnet IP, connect the communication cable coming from the BACnet IP network to the port marked as

Ethernet on Intesis (More details in section 7).

If using BACnet MSTP, connect the communication cables coming from the BACnet MSTP network to the port

marked as Port A on Intesis (More details in section 7).

4. Connect the communication cable coming from DALI network to the port marked as Port A of Intesis (More details

in section 7).

5. If using two DALI channels, connect communication cable coming from second DALI network to the port marked

as Port B of Intesis (More details in section 7).

6. Power up Intesis. The supply voltage should be any of the voltage range allowed (check section 10). Take care

of the polarity of the supply voltage applied.

WARNING! In order to avoid earth loops that can damage Intesis and/or any other equipment connected to

it, we strongly recommend the use of DC power supplies, floating or with the negative terminal connected to

earth. Never use a DC power supply with the positive terminal connected to earth.

7. If you want to connect using IP, connect the Ethernet cable from the laptop PC to the port marked as Ethernet of

Intesis (More details in section 7).

If you want to connect using USB, connect the USB cable from the laptop PC to the port marked as Console of

Intesis (More details in section 7).

8. Open Intesis MAPS, create a new project selecting a copy of the one named INBACDAL---0200.

9. Modify the configuration as desired, save it and download the configuration file to Intesis as explained in the

Intesis MAPS user manual.

10. Visit the Diagnostic section and check that there is communication activity, some TX frames and some other RX

frames. This means that the communication with the BACnet client device and DALI devices is OK. In case there

is no communication activity between Intesis and the BACnet and/or DALI devices, check that those are

operative: the communication cable used to connect all devices and any other communication parameter.
