PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Safety Precautions
Short circuit or incorrect wiring may
permanently damage the controls or
other equipment. Ensure proper wiring
practices are followed. If a control failure
could lead to personal and/or property
damage, the installer must add safety/
interlock devices to protect against
these events.
Introduction
The Price Web Server is a complete BACnet front-end solution for small to medium
sized networks. The Price Web Server hosts all web pages containing graphics and
BACnet points reported by the system controllers.
The Price Web Server is accessed from any computer or smart device (tablet or
mobile phone) on the local network using a web browser. Remote access is possible
from across the globe with the use of Port Forwarding on the computer network.
Contained within the webserver are pre-loaded templates with graphics and points
lists for the popular Price controls. Changes to the graphics or the creation of new
custom graphics are supported from within the web interface.
Price Web Server can be ordered as PRTU-Front-End, which contains all of the parts
required to network all of the controls, connect them to the web server, and then
interface them to the building LAN system at a single point.
Price Web Server Features
Features of the Web Server include:
• Accessibility from any web browser on a laptop, smart phone, or tablet.
• Animated graphics
• Pre-loaded templates for Price controls
• Drag and drop setup, no programming required
• Multiple simultaneous users
• Support for Email alerts based on user-defined conditions

INSTALLATION & MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
Mounting
Use the included DIN rail to securely mount the PRTU-Front-
End components.
1. The Price Web Server MUST be mounted in an enclosure
2. Using 3 screws (by others) mount the DIN rail horizontally
to a secure, accessible surface.
3. Hang the Price Web Server onto the DIN rail using the
TOP white clips.
4. Using the Price Electronics screwdriver, gently pull down
on the BLACK clip, while pushing gently on the WEB-
SERVER towards the DIN rail. The Price Web Server
should click securely into place.
5. Use the mounting clips on the rear of the BAC-RTR, IP-
RTR, or IP-SWITCH to mount the components to the din
rail. Slip the top clip behind the DIN rail flange, then use
steady pressure to push the component down then back
towards the DIN rail to secure.
6. The same section of DIN rail can be used to mount
multiple components.

Wiring
BACnet MS/TP Wiring
Connect the BACnet MS/TP wires between the BAC-RTR(s) and their respective PRTU systems. Each system requires its own
BAC-RTR to avoid MAC address collisions.
For example, a building with 3 PRTU systems would require 3 total BAC-RTRs.
TWISTED-PAIR NETWORK CABLE (OR CAT-5).

Network Connections
Once the BAC-RTRs have been networked to the PRTU/PIC/Prodigy controllers and the FRONT-END components have been
powered up, the IP networks can be connected and tied into the building LAN.
1. Connect the Price Web Server to one of the four “LAN” ports on the IP-RTR using the included 2 foot cable.
2. Connect the BAC-RTRs to the “LAN” ports on the IP-RTR using their included 2 foot cables.
a. If required (> 3 BAC-RTRs), the IP-SWITCH is used to expand the “LAN” ports on the IP-RTR
3. Connect the “WAN” port of the IP-RTR to the building LAN system.
NOTE: WAN port is set to DHCP by default

SETUP
Web Server Setup
The Price Web Server is pre-loaded with graphics and device templates. To apply these templates, the controllers on the job must
be discovered and loaded.
The Web Server is accessed through an internet browser Price recommends using a laptop for the initial setup.
1. Access the Web Server
There are two ways to accomplish this:
a. From the building LAN: Connect your computer to the building’s computer LAN. Open a web browser and go to the address
given to you by IT and set up in the previous step. (http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx)
b. If your computer is still connected on the LAN side of the IP-RTR, you can access the Web Server directly by going to
http://192.168.97.20
(NOTE: You may NOT use this method if you were forced to disconnect a BAC-RTR to access the IP-RTR in the last step. If this
is the case, reconnect the BAC-RTR now and connect your computer to the Web Server using method a. above.)
2. Login to the Web Server:
IP-RTR
WEB-SERVER BAC-RTR BAC-RTR
OR
HTTP://192.168.97.20
(ONLY IF IP-RTR HAS A FREE LAN PORT)
HTTP://XXX.XXX.XX.XX
(STATIC IP GIVEN BY IT)
TO BUILDING LAN
Avoid removing power from the Price Web Server
without properly shutting it down by selecting
“Shutdown” from the Administrator menu.
