(Issue Date: August 5, 2009 / ITG-VWG-AP-1020-LNX-E03)
Product Overview
The VWG-APP-1020 wireless communication card and related "WirelessStat" driver jar file have been specifically
®
designed to be used by Niagara AX
powered JENE controllers.
When utilized in conjunction with the VT7xxxXxxxxW series wireless thermostats they offer the integrator simple
®
integration to the Niagara AX
environment.
The application is targeted at retrofit applications where the addition of communicating field bus wiring within the
building space is prohibitive. The JENE communication card and associated Wireless Communicating
Thermostats encourage the use of existing wiring utilized by existing electronic thermostat type controls.

- Page 4 Basic Initial Design And Deployment Consideration Proper design considerations need to be addressed prior to any installation of a JENE with a Lynxspring wireless communication card and related wireless thermostats. 1. To properly avoid network interference with 802.11 Wi-Fi devices in the 2.4GHz spectrum range, Lynxspring recommends the use of 802.15.4 channels 25 and 26 only.
- Page 5 Maximum 30 feet ( 10 M ) between 2-thermostat nodes 3. Ensure that the minimum distance between any Lynxspring node and any Wi-Fi devices ( wireless routers, wireless adapters, lap-tops using wireless networks, etc….) to be at least 3 foot ( 1 M ) and preferably 10 feet ( 3 M ) or more.
- Page 6 4. Ensure that at least one thermostat is within 30 feet of the VWG for every cluster of 10 thermostats installed. 5. Always try to locate if possible the VWG near the center of all associated wireless thermostats. 6. Always try to locate the VWG near on in line of sigh to as many wireless thermostats as possible. 7.
