TC500 - Control Occupancy via BACnet

Description:

The TC500 had BACnet points to control the occupancy status of the device. This point has a fail-detect policy where it requires the value to be written periodically or else it will go back to a "default" value. This will be seen as the occupancy state going back to default after a period of 5 minutes.

Procedure:

  1. Set up a new BACnet tuning Policy
  2. Set the Max Write Time to 1 min
  3. For the BACnet point ni_NetSchCurrentState (MSV-1) set the tuning policy to that which was created above. (this will ensure that the point is updated within the fail-detect period and maintain the desired value)
