1. Product Description
The Allure
™
EC-Smart-Vue series sensors are designed to interface
with any ECB or ECL-Series controller to provide precision local
temperature sensing, information display of system status, and a
variety of control functions that can be accessed by room occupants.
Through its user-friendly interface, occupants can view and adjust
environmental settings to their liking, for example, view the space
temperature, adjust the setpoint, and apply occupancy overrides with
the Allure EC-Smart-Vue room temperature sensor. In addition to this,
the Allure EC-Smart-Vue-H sensor can measure the room’s humidity
level, the Allure EC-Smart-Vue-M sensor has a motion activated
occupancy sensor, the Allure EC-Smart-Vue-C sensor has a CO
2
sensor to measure air-quality, the Allure EC-Smart-Vue-CM sensor
has both an occupancy and CO
2
sensor, the Allure EC-Smart-Vue-CH
sensor has both a humidity and CO
2
sensor, the Allure
EC-Smart-Vue-HM sensor has a humidity sensor with a built-in motion
detector, and the Allure EC-Smart-Vue-CHM sensor has a humidity
and CO
2
sensor with a built-in motion detector.
With the EC-
gfx
Program programming tool, you can create your own
tailor-made display control features that make full use of all Allure
EC-Smart-Vue’s capabilities. For example, you can program the
display to give users feedback on their setpoint selection with the
ECO-Vue
™
icon that shows more leaves for a setting that not only
cares for the environment, but one that also reduces operating costs. A
five-character alphanumeric display is available for showing messages.
A password protected technician mode allows an installer to perform
commissioning and troubleshooting. When connected with the
ECB-VAV or ECL-VAV series, commissioning can start immediately
after installation, as the Allure EC-Smart-Vue sensor can be used as a
hand-held tool to select the appropriate controller application for the
type of HVAC equipment to be controlled, to perform air balancing of
the system without requiring an onsite controls engineer, and to
troubleshoot the system.
Mounting hardware with a separate sub-base is provided with the
device for installation on dry wall or on an electrical junction box.
Electrical connection is made through standard Category 5e (Cat 5e)
structured cabling.
This cable also brings power and BAS Local Area Network (LAN)
signals to the sensor. The LAN is made available at the externally-
accessible communications jack, when enabled. By connecting a
BACnet MS/TP portable router or a L
ON
W
ORKS
®
Network Interface, it
is possible to access the LAN for installation and maintenance
purposes.

9. About the Allure EC-Smart-Vue CO
2
Sensors
The Allure EC-Smart-Vue-C/-CM/-CH/-CHM are factory calibrated to
accurately read CO
2
concentration levels at sea level. When these
Allure EC-Smart-Vue sensors are used in locations where the
elevation is greater than 500ft (152m) above sea level, you must set
the Elevation input of the corresponding ComSensor block in
EC-
gfx
Program to the current location’s elevation to obtain the most
accurate readings.
For more information, refer to the Inputs and Outputs section in the
EC-
gfx
Program User Guide
Under normal conditions, an Allure EC-Smart-Vue sensor
with CO
2
sensor will reach its operational accuracy after 25
hours of continuous operation on condition that it was
exposed to ambient air reference levels of 400 ppm ±10
ppm CO

11. Setting Up the Allure EC-Smart-Vue with Motion
Sensors
The following procedure describes how to commission and test the
Allure EC-Smart-Vue sensors equipped with motion sensors as well as
adjust the motion sensitivity (Allure EC-Smart-Vue-M/-CM/-HM/-CHM).
1. Connect an Allure EC-Smart-Vue with motion sensor to the
controller with a Cat 5e patch cable.
2. After a 30-second warm-up period, if movement is detected, the
motion sensor light will turn on.
3. To test the sensor functionality, aim the sensor in the direction you
want to detect motion and walk at a normal pace across the typical
detection zone and verify that the sensor light turns on. The light
will turn on and after 2 seconds of non-movement, the motion
sensor light will turn off.
4. Now to set the motion sensitivity, on the Allure EC-Smart-Vue
sensor, press and hold the
Menu
button
for 5 seconds to enter
the password menu. 10000 is shown on the display.

9. Use the up and down buttons
to set the motion sensitivity
level to 0 (low), 1 (medium - typical default setting), or 2 (high). The
default and recommended level of sensitivity is medium (1) and
should typically work with all installations. This setting should not
be changed unless for some reason you are experiencing false
detections, then a low sensitivity (0) setting may be used, or if
working with larger room installations a high sensitivity (2) setting
can be used.
10. Press the Menu button
once to apply the value.
11. Press and hold the Menu button
for 5 seconds to exit the
configuration menu.
The motion indicator LED provides a visual confirmation of
motion detection. By default, the indicator (PIR LED jumper)
is enabled. If you wish to disable it, set jumper J18 to
Disabled. See
Figure 10-1.
12. About the Subnetwork Bus
The ECB-600 and ECL-600 controllers use the subnetwork bus to
support the ECx-4XX Series IO Extension Modules through 2-wire
shielded cable.
All Distech Controls ECB series and ECL series controllers also use
the subnetwork bus to support one or more Allure EC-Smart-Vue
sensor(s) using standard structural cabling. See
Table 8-1
. For the
Allure EC-Smart-Vue sensor, the subnetwork bus also extends the
LAN to the Allure EC-Smart-Vue room sensor to provide convenient
network access for maintenance and troubleshooting purposes.
13. Subnetwork Bus Total Length
The total maximum length of all subnetwork buses, including both the
length of the Allure EC-Smart-Vue subnetwork bus and the ECx-4XX
subnetwork bus is 1000 ft (300 m). The maximum length of the Allure
EC-Smart-Vue subnetwork bus is 600 ft (180 m). The maximum length
of the ECx-4XX subnetwork bus is 1000 ft (300 m).

17. Commissioning Controllers
To commission a controller with a MAC Address DIP switch located on
the faceplate or under the cover in the case of an ECB-VAV Series
controller, first set the DIP switch to 0 (all off). When using an Allure
EC-Smart-Vue sensor for commissioning a controller (before code is
downloaded to the controller from EC-
gfx
Program), connect an Allure
EC-Smart-Vue sensor to the controller with its Subnet ID set to 1. (see
Section 16
).
For ECB-VAV and ECL-VAV Series controllers, commissioning can be
used to perform application selection if needed. Applications are pre-
loaded programs that enable the ECB-VAV and ECL-VAV to control a
typical VAV box. See the Pre-Loaded Application User Guide for more
information.
For ECB Series controllers only, during commissioning, the Allure
EC-Smart-Vue sensor is used to set the controller’s BACnet
®
MAC
Address. Set the connected ECB Series controller’s MAC Address as
follows:
1. Connect an Allure EC-Smart-Vue sensor to the controller with a Cat
5e patch cable. Wait for the display to show the room temperature.
2. Press and hold the Menu button
for 5 seconds to enter the
password menu. 10000 is shown on the display.

submenu.
The
MAC ADDRESS
menu is shown with the current controller’s
BACnet MAC Address.
Screen timeout: 30 sec
6. Use the up and down buttons
to set the controller’s MAC
Address. Only addresses from 1 to 127 are recommended to be
used.
7. Press the Menu button
once to apply the value.
8. Press and hold the Menu button
for 5 seconds to exit the
configuration menu.
Once the controller’s communications network is operational, the
controller can be programmed with EC-
gfx
Program. For each Allure
EC-Smart-Vue sensor, set its Subnet ID number to the block number
of its associated ComSensor block in EC-
gfx
Program. This is done in
the Allure EC-Smart-Vue’s
GEN CFG
menu under
SUBNET ID
. The
range of valid Allure EC-Smart-Vue Subnet IDs is shown in Table 8-1.
18. Setting the BAUD
Rate (optional – BACnet
controllers only)
By default, the BAUD rate for the controller is set to automatically
detect the current communication BAUD rate of the connected BACnet
MS/TP network (AUTO). This is the preferred setting for a controller.
However, at least one controller on the BACnet MS/TP network data
bus must have its BAUD rate set. The preference is to set the building
controller’s BAUD rate (if present). Otherwise, set the BAUD rate on
one controller that will set the BAUD rate for all other controllers (to act
as the master for setting the BAUD rate).
When the Baud rate is set to AUTO, the controller cannot
initiate any communication until it has detected the baud rate
of the BACnet MS/TP network. If all controllers on the
BACnet MS/TP network are set to AUTO, then all controllers
will not communicate.
Set the connected controller’s BAUD rate as follows:
1. Connect an Allure EC-Smart-Vue sensor to the controller with a Cat
5e patch cable. Wait for the display to show the room temperature.
2. Press and hold the Menu button

To temporarily access the BACnet MS/TP LAN for commissioning and
maintenance purposes, connect a BACnet MS/TP Adaptor to the audio
plug port located on the lower edge of the Allure EC-Smart-Vue
sensor. Wire a standard
⅛
” (3.5 mm) three-conductor stereo jack as
shown below.
The BACnet MS/TP Adaptor must have an electrically-isolated
RS-485 port. Otherwise a ground path from the BACnet
network will be made through the computer that will disrupt
BACnet network communications.

ORKS
network is optionally available from the Allure EC-Smart-Vue audio
plug port. By setting the two (2)
Net to Subnet Port Settings
jumpers
inside the ECL series controller to

network to the Allure EC-Smart-Vue subnetwork Cat 5e
cable.
Recommendation
: Only a limited number of controllers on a
L
ON
W
ORKS
network segment should have their
Net to Subnet
Port Settings
jumpers enabled. Enabling too many Allure EC-
Smart-Vue sensors with network access may cause network
communication issues. If there are any network communication
problems, refer to Section 22.
The Cat 5e cable length is restricted by the maximum allowable
subnetwork bus length (see

22. Troubleshooting Guide
Allure EC-Smart-Vue screen is blank & back light is off
Is the Allure EC-Smart-Vue sensor connected to the controller?
Verify that the Allure EC-Smart-Vue sensor is connected to the controller and that the patch
cables are plugged into the connectors. Refer to
Installation Procedure
for more information.
Is power being supplied to the controller?
There may be no power being supplied from the controller. Check if the controller has power
or if the controller’s internal fuses have blown or tripped.
Is the cable connected to the controller and Allure EC-Smart-Vue
sensor?
Verify wiring.
Was the patch cable made onsite?
Verify that the RJ-45 crimp connectors were installed on the cable correctly. See
Connection
Cable
.
Allure EC-Smart-Vue screen is blank & back light is on for about 30 to 45 seconds – Normal Operation
Firmware upgrade in progress
Wait for the upgrade to complete. Do not disconnect the sensor from the controller as the
upgrade will restart once it is reconnected.
Device not communicating with controller
Is the address correctly set to a unique address?
Each Allure EC-Smart-Vue sensor must be set to a unique address for each controller. See
Setting the Allure EC-Smart-Vue Subnet ID
.
Is the device too far from controller?
Verify the distance between the device and the controller. See
Subnetwork Bus Total Length
.
Is there a configuration problem?
With EC-
gfx
Program, check the configuration of the sensor; for example, is it enabled? Refer
to the EC-
gfx
Program User Guide for more information.
Have the subnetwork EOL settings been correctly set?
Only the last Allure EC-Smart-Vue sensor must have its EOL termination set to ON. See
Figure 15-1
and
Figure 15-2
. When one or more ECx-400 Series IO Extension modules are
connected to the controller, only the last ECx-400 must have its EOL termination set to ON.
See
Figure 15-3
.
Controller cannot communicate on the L
ON
W
ORKS
network
Too many Allure EC-Smart-Vue sensors are providing network access
Disable the
Net to Subnet Port Settings
jumpers on all controllers (for jumper location, see
Section
21
). If communications are re-established, re-enable only a few Allure EC-Smart-Vue
sensors to have network access.
Allure EC-Smart-Vue motion detector window indicator is always ON and the Motion output of the associated
ComSensor block always reads NULL in EC-
gfx
Program
Does the connected controller have Allure EC-Smart-Vue firmware
that supports the motion sensor?
When the Allure EC-Smart-Vue sensor is connected to a controller, its firmware is loaded
from the controller. In this case, the controller has an earlier version of Allure EC-Smart-Vue
firmware that does not support the motion sensor. To upgrade to the latest Allure
EC-Smart-Vue firmware, download the firmware from SmartInstaller and refer to the firmware
upgrade procedure in the EC-
gfx
Program User Guide.
The CO
2
output of the associated ComSensor block always reads NULL in EC-
gfx
Program
Does the connected controller have Allure EC-Smart-Vue firmware
that supports the CO
2
sensor?
When the Allure EC-Smart-Vue sensor is connected to a controller, its firmware is loaded
from the controller. In this case, the controller has an earlier version of Allure EC-Smart-Vue
firmware that does not support the CO
2
sensor. To upgrade to the latest Allure EC-Smart-Vue
firmware, download the firmware from SmartInstaller and refer to the firmware upgrade
procedure in the EC-
gfx
Program User Guide.
The CO
2
sensor readings are too high, too low, or inconsistent between sensors
Immediately after installing the Allure EC-Smart-Vue with CO
2
sensors,
are the CO
2
sensor readings incoherent?
If the CO
2
sensor readings seem unusual or show inconsistencies between sensors in the
same building right after installation, the following reasons should be taken into consideration:
•
Concentration levels in each space may be different
•
The installer may have unintentionally blown into the sensor while installing it.
•
The sensor may have been dropped or mishandled during shipment causing a minor
shift in the original factory calibration.
The recommendation is to allow up to 14 days of operation (without power interruptions) for
the sensor to calibrate itself according to its new environment.
Error Code Interpretation
