Planning the layout of wireless devices
IMPORTANT To have a successful wireless installation, it is critical that you follow the recommendations
below and the guidelines and instructions in the following sections:
Wireless device placement guidelines (page 18)
Using SensorScan to determine the best location for devices (page 26)
It is normal for the Wireless Adapter to miss one or two transmissions from a sensor per day, but much more than
that indicates an installation or location problem.
Wireless sensors are intended to be used for zone control in a typical office-type environment with drop ceilings
and walls made of drywall with metal studs. We do not recommend using wireless sensors in the following
conditions:
•
Low light
•
High RF interference (noise)
•
Dense wall construction that prevents wireless signals
•
Critical fire and security applications
•
Distance between the Wireless Adapter and wireless sensor would exceed 60 feet
If any of these conditions exist, use wired ZS sensors or a combination of ZS and wireless sensors.
Rnet configuration
You can use the Wireless sensors, ZS sensors, and an Equipment Touch on the same Rnet. The number of
sensors you can use on a controller's Rnet depends on how many control programs it can have. If the controller
supports:
•
Only one control program, the Rnet can consist of:
•
Up to 5 ZS sensors
•
One Wireless Adapter supporting up to 5 wireless sensors
•
One Equipment Touch
NOTE You can have any combination of ZS and wireless sensors, but no more than 5 sensors total.
•
Multiple control programs, the Rnet can consist of:
•
Up to 15 ZS sensors
•
One Wireless Adapter supporting up to 15 wireless sensors
•
One Equipment Touch
NOTES
•
You can have any combination of ZS and wireless sensors, but no more than 15 sensors total.
•
You can have no more than 5 sensors per control program.
