ONICON F-1500 insertion turbine flow meter (BACnet MS/TP) BACnet points list
Updated 6 November 2026
The F-1500 turbine meter can run BACnet MS/TP on its RS-485 port. It exposes 19 Analog Inputs (volume, mass and energy flow, two temperatures, pressure, density, two totalizers, output channel values, velocity and turbine diagnostics), three alarm Binary Inputs, an external-input BI and a totalizer-reset BV.
This page lists 24 BACnet objects for the ONICON F-1500 insertion turbine flow meter (BACnet MS/TP) — 1 of them writable — with each object’s type, instance number, name, engineering units and access. It is re-typed from ONICON’s own free documentation, linked below.

BMS integration notes: ONICON F-1500 insertion turbine flow meter (BACnet MS/TP)
Set the communication type to BACnet in the diagnostics menu, then set baud and MAC address in the output menu and power-cycle. Read volume flow, the totalizer and the alarms; write the Reset BV to clear the totalizer.
Minimum points to map
The short list most integrators start with — enough to run the unit from a BMS. Map more as the job needs.
| Object | Name | Why | Access |
|---|---|---|---|
| AI 1 | Volume Flow | Volumetric flow rate | Read |
| AI 8 | Totalizer 1 | Accumulated total (mass, volume or energy) | Read |
| AI 7 | Energy Flow | Energy rate (energy-measuring builds) | Read |
| AI 3 | Temperature 1 | Process temperature 1 | Read |
| BI 1 | Alarm1 | Alarm 1 active | Read |
| BI 2 | Alarm2 | Alarm 2 active | Read |
| BI 3 | Alarm3 | Alarm 3 active | Read |
Network setup
- Factory menu password 16363. Set Diagnostics > Config Code > comm type to BACnet, then Output menu > Baud Rate and MAC address.
- Baud 9600, 19200, 38400 or 76800; MAC 0-127 (MS/TP master only).
- Device object default instance 7; Max Master 127; Max Info Frames 1; no segmentation; max APDU 300.
- Device Communication Control password: vortek.
- Power-cycle the meter after changing settings.
Watch out for
- The manual's setup steps end by switching comm type back to HART after setting baud/MAC; check the comm type reads BACnet before commissioning.
- Max Info Frames is 1 and Max Master 127; neither is writable over BACnet.

Integration notes
- Which values carry data depends on the meter build and configuration; several objects are marked 'TBD' in the manual's description column.
- Units follow the meter's configured display units. The manual prints rate units for the totalizers; the totalizer unit depends on whether it counts mass, volume or energy.
- AI 8 and AI 9 are printed as one row ('Totalizer 1 & Totalizer 2'); the PICS lists them separately as AI 8 and AI 9.
- Present_Value and Out_Of_Service are listed as writable for AI, BI and BV; writing an input's Present_Value only makes sense with Out_Of_Service set.
- BI 4 always reads 0.
- Source: F-1500 manual DOC-0003872, section 4.3 (PICS dated 19-April-2012).
Check it against the live device. A points list tells you what the controller can expose; the unit in front of you may differ by firmware or installed options. This list is provided as-is for reference only and may contain mistakes — confirming it before you write, map or commission anything is up to you (terms). Easy BACnet scans a network for BACnet IP devices from an Android phone, reads every object on the F-1500 insertion turbine flow meter (BACnet MS/TP) and exports what it actually has to Excel — free.

Questions about the ONICON F-1500 insertion turbine flow meter (BACnet MS/TP)
How many BACnet points does the ONICON F-1500 insertion turbine flow meter (BACnet MS/TP) have?
This list has 24 BACnet objects: 19 analog inputs, 4 binary inputs, 1 binary value. The exact set on a given unit depends on its firmware, installed options and configuration.
Which ONICON F-1500 insertion turbine flow meter (BACnet MS/TP) BACnet points are writable?
1 of the 24 objects accept a write. Points marked Command have a priority array: a write holds until it is released, so release it back to automatic when you are done.
Where is the official ONICON F-1500 insertion turbine flow meter (BACnet MS/TP) BACnet documentation?
The source is F-1500 Insertion Turbine Flow Meter Installation and Operation Manual (DOC-0003872), published free by ONICON at https://www.onicon.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/F-1500-Insertion-Turbine-Flow-Meter-Manual-DOC-0003872.pdf.
What are the minimum BACnet points to integrate the ONICON F-1500 insertion turbine flow meter (BACnet MS/TP)?
Start with AI 1 Volume Flow (Volumetric flow rate); AI 8 Totalizer 1 (Accumulated total (mass, volume or energy)); AI 7 Energy Flow (Energy rate (energy-measuring builds)); AI 3 Temperature 1 (Process temperature 1); BI 1 Alarm1 (Alarm 1 active); BI 2 Alarm2 (Alarm 2 active); BI 3 Alarm3 (Alarm 3 active).
How do I check these points on the real F-1500 insertion turbine flow meter (BACnet MS/TP)?
Scan the network with a BACnet IP browser such as Easy BACnet, open the device and compare its object list with this table. Anything missing is usually an option that isn't installed or a point that is disabled in the controller's configuration.
