Omni User Instructions
1-1 Overview
This manual is designed to provide the customer with complete and comprehensive documentation
for the Omni Controller. This document contains detailed procedures for HMI (Human Machine
Interface / Front Panel) and on-board web server operation of the BEMS (Building and Energy
Management System) Controller.
Each Controller is designed to be set-up to its own application requirements and since each
customer’s application is different, no two units have identical step-by-step operating procedures.
However, the Omni BEMS Controller is user-friendly and operation is simple once the necessary
operational information has been explained. The operating procedures in this manual are based on
typical operating scenarios.
References made throughout this manual to "Omni", "Controller" or "BEMS Controller" refer to all models of the
Omni BEMS Controller except where specified.
Chapter Description
Chapter 1 - Preliminary Chapter 1 provides related information of a general nature. This
Information chapter also contains a brief description of the Omni Controllers.
Chapter 2 - Operation Chapter 2 provides information for configuring an Omni Controller.
Chapter 3 - HMI Menus Chapter 3 provides an overview of the various HMI screens.
Chapter 4 - Omni Web Server Chapter 4 provides information about the Omni web server.
These notices provide extra information. It is non-critical information but should be read.
IMPORTANT
These notices contain information about the software that must be done before proceeding further to ensure
success.

The Omni U10 Expansion Device, expands the input and output capabilities of the controller. The U10
expands the amount of programmable points (UI/O) by 10. Multiple U10 Expansion Devices can be
used to expand the available UI/Os. Once configured, no operator action is required for the expansion
device. The table below shows the expansion capabilities of each controller.
When more than five U10 devices are connected, the maximum speed will drop by 50%.

The Omni Controller can operate as a standalone device, while more complex installations can use
multiple controllers sharing data between controllers and a computer. Communications among the
Omni BEMS Controllers is a via an Ethernet backbone with the option of RS485 networks for Innotech
backward compatibility and other protocols such as BACnet MS/TP.
Omni controllers and remote expansion modules have fully Programmable Points, which can all be
used as either universal inputs or universal outputs (UI/O).
For the purposes of this manual, the terms "Programmable Points" and "Universal Inputs/Outputs (UI/O)" are
interchangeable and are defined in the same way as "points which can be programmed as Inputs or Outputs".

This section provides information about the use of Flash and Watch pages within the Omni controller.
Each page typically contains data to be monitored by the user (hence the term Watch Page) and
process values, such as controller setpoints, which may be viewed and edited.
The content of each page is normally arranged in a logical manner; for example, all the data on Watch
Page 6 might represent parameters for Heating and Cooling Zone 6. The arrangement and content of
each Watch Page and level of access for individual users is programmed by the Focus Configuration
Soft ware.
Edition 1.3 dated 27.02.2020 Page 24 © Mass Electronics Pty Ltd 2017
Omni User Instructions
When the device is first configured by the Focus Configuration software, it is possible to place the
current value of a node of any block within the configuration on a Watch page. These Watch pages
allow users to quickly view important I/O and block values on specified watch pages. If an item has an
underline, this indicates the cursor position in the screen and signifies that the item is not editable.
Watch pages may also be configured with watches that are editable by the user. These may refer to
temperature setpoints or other adjustable user variables. An adjustable watch parameter can be
edited directly on the controller. If an item's value is in a box, this indicates the cursor position in the
screen and that the item is editable.
To edit the item, press the Navigation wheel button, rotate the wheel to edit the value, press the
button to save. To cancel, press the back button before saving the value.
Alarms that have the Display option marked in the block are sent to the display as a flash (if
programmed). Alarm annunciation has priority and overrides the flash page until all alarms are
cleared.
The Flash Watch feature is especially useful for applications containing many watches; it allows you
to easily monitor a range of specified watches without having to access a Watch Page and manually
scroll through it.

Figure 4-67: Settings - Date and Time BACnet Time Sync Settings
BACnet time sync is used to synchronise the date and time across a BACnet network. When the Transmit Time Sync
is enabled the device is responsible for synchronising the recipient's date and time to match its own. The Recipient
must be configured to accept Time Sync messages. For Omni devices this is done via the Time Sync settings, for
other BACnet devices this would have to be configured as per their own settings.
Once configured the Omni device will transmit Time Sync messages based on the Interval and other settings
selected. Both Local Time sync messages or UTC Time sync messages can be transmitted. Local Time syncs will set
the Recipients date and time to exactly match the Master device. This is useful in situations where BACnet devices
do not support Timezones. UTC Time syncs will cause the Recipients date and time to synchronise to the Masters but
it will apply it's own timezone offset. This is useful in situations where the BACnet device support timezones and the
BACnet network may be connected across multiple zones.
Best practice for Omni devices is to use UTC time syncs and have the Timezone set correctly.

Setting Description
Can be set to None, Local, UTC or Both. This setting means that the device
will accept Time Sync requests from other BACnet devices on the network.
Local - The Local Time is uses to synchronise the recipient's date and time.
Time Sync Accepted This is best used when the recipient does not support timezones.
UTC - The Global UTC Time is used to synchronise the recipient's date and
time. This is best used when the recipient supports timezones.
Note: The timezone needs to be correctly set on all devices.
Enable this device as a Time Sync Master - this option will send time sync
Transit Time Sync messages to the network.
Interval Interval at which the time sync occurs.
When enabled and the Interval is a factor of (divides without remainder)
Align Intervals an hour or day, then the beginning of the period specified for time
synchronisation shall be aligned to the hour or day, respectively.
Allows the time sync to be offset by a number of minutes from the alignment
with the hour or day.
Interval Offset The offset used shall be the value of [Interval Offset] modulo [the value of
Interval]. For example if Interval_Offset has the value 31 and Interval is 30,
the offset used shall be 1 minute.
This table lists the Local and UTC recipients to be time synced with this
Recipient Lists device. You can enter information for Network devices, BACnet objects or
both. All items listed will be synced.

Network Number values in the table relate to the following: 1-65534 (a specific Network on the BACnet
Internetwork), 0 (Local Broadcast), 65535 (Global Broadcast).
To send a Time sync to a specific BACnet MS/TP device then specify the MSTP Node Addresses of the device (0-255).
To broadcast to all MSTP devices then use the Broadcast Address of 255.255.255.255.
Local BACnet Network devices are connected to the Time Sync Master. Global BACnet network devices are
connected via devices connected to the Time Sync Master.

HTTPS Information
Introduction
HTTPS connection is a protocol for secure communication over a computer network which is widely
used on the Internet.
From the page (shown on the previous page) you have the ability to specify a secure HTTPS port.
Enabling Redirect to HTTPS will ensure that if the IP is entered in the browser without HTTPS, it will
automatically redirect the browser to the secure page.
On sites that the Omni is port forwarded to an external IP and you want to use https, you will also need to port
forward the HTTPS port as well as the HTTP port.
By default HTTPS is always available it you want to use it. To use HTTPS, simply enter in a browser
https://IPAddress like below.
Edition 1.3 dated 27.02.2020 Page 76 © Mass Electronics Pty Ltd 2017
Omni User Instructions
This error means that the browser cannot verify the trust component of HTTPS. If the user continues
the connection is still secure, but the Omni certificate is unknown to the browser. The browser
doesn't know if the certificate is really who it says it is and therefore tells the user that there might be
an issue.
You can continue on from this error by clicking advanced and the connection will still be secure,
however it will always have a red line through https whenever you go to this device.
Browsers base trust on if the certificate is chained or derived from a "Trusted Root Certificate
Authority" certificate that is installed into the browser's certificate store by default. There are many
places you can get or purchase certificates from. The free certificates expire after about 60 days, and
the longest one you can purchase works for about 3 years.
As such we are unable to install a trusted certificate into the Omni by default as eventually they will
expire and also you have to purchase them for a particular domain the site will be using.
We have made and Innotech "Trusted Root Certificate Authority" certificate which the user can
import to their computer or device and when they access any Omni controller anywhere, the browser
will trust it and you will not get any warnings or red locks symbols etc.
For a business with a managed IT network, the IT department would be able to include our certificate
to be automatically installed into the machines they manage. However, you can also manually do
it various ways. The certificate must be installed into the "Trusted Root Certificate Authorities"
certificate store on your computer.
