Replacing a Failed WCI

Task 1: Remove the failed WCI
Hazardous Voltage!
Disconnect all electric power, including remote disconnects before servicing. Follow proper
lockout/tagout procedures to ensure the power can not be inadvertently energized. Failure to
disconnect power before servicing could result in death or serious injury.
1. Remove power from the controller that has the failed WCI wired to it.
2. Remove the WCI cover by firmly pressing the thumb tab at the bottom of the cover and pulling
3. Detach the 4-connector screw terminal block on the wiring harness from the receptacle on the
Task 2: Install the new WCI
Hazardous Voltage!

New member (non-coordinator) WCI
4. Set (or verify if pre-addressed) the rotary address switches on the new WCI.
5. Attach the terminal block on the wiring harness to the receptacle on the new WCI and route the
6. Restore power to the controller that the WCI is installed on. Use Tracer TU to open the network

If power loss causes communication to be lost, the coordinator WCI will re-initiate the
network as soon as power is returned.
If an obstruction causes communication to be lost, the coordinator WCI will re-initiate
the network as soon as communication is regained.
Move network components to within radio range or break up networks to make smaller
so that all components are within radio range.
Make sure that every device on the network has a unique BACnet Device ID. Refer to
the current version of BAS-SVX51, BACnet MS/TP Wiring and Link Performance Best
Practices and Troubleshooting Guide.
