WCI Installation

WCI installation includes addressing, mounting, and wiring. Follow the instructions given in the following
sections.

WCI Addressing

This section describes the addressing scheme and procedure for the Air-Fi® Wireless Communications
Interface (WCI). WCIs can be ordered either pre-addressed or without addresses. Verify pre-addressed
WCI prior to installation.
Note: The default address is 1,1.
The following figure illustrates the addressing scheme used for WCIs. Four networks and two
Tracer SC+ controllers are shown, with each Tracer SC+ communicating on two networks. Follow this
procedure to set the WCI address for network communication. The table that follows in this subsection
provides address setting details.
Important: Addresses must be set on WCIs before applying power to them.

Figure 5. Addressing example: two groups with two networks
Notes:
BAS-SVX40K-EN
Set the left (GRP) rotary address switch for each WCI that is in the same Tracer SC+ group to an
identical number. (A Tracer SC+ group refers to all of the networks that communicate with the same
Tracer SC.)
identical number. If there are multiple networks in a Tracer SC+ group, each network in that group
must have a unique number.
Note: The NET address (ranging from 1–8) must match the wireless link on Tracer SC.
