 Energy Valve
Web View

The Energy Valve Web View is a built-in web server that is used to configure the valve settings and view current and historical data.
It can be accessed from a computer with a web browser. The Energy Valve must be connected to a TCP/IP network.

Connecting the Energy

Valve to Ethernet:
To configure the Energy Valve using
Web View, the Energy Valve must be
connected to a TCP/IP network. If
connecting the Energy Valve to a laptop
computer directly without connecting to
a LAN, configure the laptop IP address
to 192.168.0.200 before connecting to
the Energy Valve.
Open a web browser. Then, type one
of the following addresses in the web
browser address bar:
http://belimo.local:8080 or

 Energy Valve
Web View

The Energy Valve Web View is a graphical user interface accessed via a network or internet to set up, calibrate and change the
parameters of the Belimo Energy Valve. The Web View consists of the following page views:

Dashboard
Provides a dynamic view of the current flow,
power and temperature values.

Overview
Similar to the dashboard view
along with the ability to see the
set point and accumulated total
to the power, flow, and heating
and cooling energy. It also
shows current critical modes of
operation.

Overview and Live Trends:

An analytical view of the historical data with the ability to

select the type of data to analyze; primarily used for
maintenance and troubleshooting.
This view also, provides an override to the actuator. Any
override will be reverted to auto after 2 hours.
Override:
• Auto (Default)
• Open
• Close
• V’max
• Motor Stop
• V’nom
• Setpoint Simulation: When using the override option,
consider the relationship between voltage and equal
percent flow characteristic
• Setpoint Position Override: Entered as a % of V’max
