Safety precautions
►Observe these precautions carefully to ensure safety.
►After reading this manual, pass the manual on to the end user to retain for future
reference.
►The user should keep this manual for future reference and refer to it as necessary. This
manual should be made available to those who repair or relocate the units. Make sure

: indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in
death or serious injury.
: indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in
minor or moderate injury.
: addresses practices not related to personal injury, such as product
and/or property damage.
General precautions
Do not install the controller in areas where large amounts of oil, steam, organic solvents,
or corrosive gases (such as ammonia, sulfuric compounds, or acids), or areas where
acidic/alkaline solutions or special chemical sprays are used frequently. These substances
may significantly reduce the performance and corrode the internal parts, resulting in
electric shock, malfunction, smoke, or fire.
To reduce the risk of short circuits, current leakage, electric shock, malfunction, smoke, or
fire, do not wash the controller with water or any other liquid.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, malfunction, smoke, or fire, do not touch the electrical
parts, USB memory, or touch panel with wet fingers.
To reduce the risk of injury or electric shock, before spraying a chemical around the
controller, stop the operation and cover the controller.
To reduce the risk of injury, keep children away while installing, inspecting, or repairing the
controller.
If you notice any abnormality (e.g., burning smell), stop the operation, turn off the
controller, and consult your dealer. Continuing the operation may result in electric shock,
malfunction, or fire.
Properly install all required covers to keep moisture and dust out of the controller. Dust
accumulation and the presence of water may result in electric shock, smoke, or fire.
To reduce the risk of fire or explosion, do not place flammable materials or use flammable
sprays around the controller.
To reduce the risk of electric shock or malfunction, do not touch the touch panel, switches,
or buttons with a sharp object.
To avoid injury from broken glass, do not apply excessive force to the glass parts.
To reduce the risk of injury, electric shock, or malfunction, avoid contact with the sharp
edges of certain parts.

WT07921X01
Consult your dealer for the proper disposal of the controller. Improper disposal will pose a
risk of environmental pollution.
Precautions for relocating or repairing the unit
The controller must be repaired or moved only by qualified personnel. Do not disassemble
or modify the controller. Improper installation or repair may result in injury, electric shock,
or fire.
Additional precautions
To avoid discoloration, do not use benzene, thinner, or chemical rag to clean the controller.
When the controller is heavily soiled, wipe the controller with a well-wrung cloth that has
been soaked in water with mild detergent, and then wipe off with a dry cloth.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they
have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person
responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play
with the appliance.

2. Setting the Operating Environment
Set the operating environment of the PC to be used for the BACnet®Setting Tool.
2-1. Setting the IP address of the PC
Set the IP address of the PC to be used for the BACnet®Setting Tool. Set an IP address for the PC that does
not duplicate the IP address of LAN1 of each AE-200 (initial value: 192.168.1.1) but is an IP address of the same
network.
For example, when the IP address of LAN1 of the AE-200 is the default value [192.168.1.1] and the subnet mask
is the default value [255.255.255.0], set [192.168.1.101] for the IP address of the PC to be used for the BACnet®
Setting Tool. In this case, [192.168.1] is the network address.

WT07921X01
4. Connecting and starting up the BACnet®Setting
Tool
4-1. Connecting the BACnet®Setting Tool
The BACnet®Setting Tool communicates with the AE-200 using a LAN.
Before connecting the BACnet®Setting Tool to the AE-200, first disconnect the AE-200 from BACnet®(check
that a cable is not connected to LAN2). Then, connect LAN1 and the PC with the BACnet®Setting Tool installed
using a LAN cable.
The BACnet®Setting Tool can only be connected to a single AE-200 at a time. Accordingly, when using a
configuration that connects multiple AE-200 units, configure BACnet ®settings for each AE-200.
•Before configuring the settings of the BACnet®function, configure the group settings and the
apportioned electricity billing function settings (only when used) with the Initial Setting Tool of the
AE-200 unit.
•When the IP address of AE-200 overlaps the IP address of another machine inside the network, not only
can AE-200 not carry out BACnet®communication normally but other devices also cannot carry out
BACnet®communication normally. Check that the IP address used on AE-200 is configured correctly
before connecting AE-200 to BACnet®.
•When the settings are changed with the BACnet®Setting Tool, if the AE-200 BACnet®connection
mode is changed to [Offline], the monitoring and operation of the AE-200 with the central monitoring
device may become no longer possible and a communication error or other alarm may be detected by
the central monitoring device so contact the system administrator in advance.

15
WT07921X01
4-2. Starting up the BACnet®Setting Tool
Double-click the BACnet®Setting Tool icon (AE-200_SetBACnet_v****) to start up the BACnet®Setting Tool
shown in the figure on the left below.
Select [New Settings] from [File] in the menu bar or select [Acquire Settings] from [AE-200/AE-50/EW-50] in the
menu bar to display the screen shown in the figure on the right below.
If [Acquire Settings] is selected when the BACnet®Setting Tool (PC) is not connected with the AE-200 unit or
when a connection is not established, a communication error pop-up screen as shown below appears after
approximately 30 seconds.
If a communication error occurs, check the following.
•Is the AE-200 running (about 10 minutes is required to complete the start-up process of AE-200)?
•Is the cable between the PC and AE-200 (LAN1) connected correctly?
•Is the IP address of the PC set to an IP address of the same network as LAN1 of the AE-200? (Refer to 2-1
“Setting the IP address of the PC” for details.)
•Does the destination IP address setting of the BACnet®Setting Tool match the IP address of LAN1 of the
AE-200? (Refer to 7-2-1 “Property” for details.)
