WaveLinx Wireless Area Controller (WAC)
Construction Grouping
With the patent-pending Construction Grouping mode, installers can now complete a quick system start-up to confirm that the devices
have been installed correctly, instead of waiting for factory-trained technicians to get the lights on a project in working order. Installers
follow a simple process to pair the wireless devices and assign addresses with the appropriate WAC and initiate occupancy-based
lighting control functionality. This saves lighting energy during the construction phase of the project by ensuring that the lights are
turned off when the area is unoccupied.
1.
Locate the Wireless Area Controllers on the site floorplan
2.
Identify which WaveLinx devices should be in range and assigned to each Wireless Area Controller
3.
Identify the circuit breakers that control WaveLinx devices that are intended to be assigned to the Wireless Area Controller by
performing Construction Grouping
4.
Cycle power to each circuit breaker for the identified WaveLinx devices
WaveLinx devices will search for the Wireless Area Controller for 30 minutes after each power cycle, unless they have already
●
paired with a WAC
5.
On the Wireless Area Controller press and release the "PAIR" button to enter Construction Grouping Mode
The 802.15.4 wireless network LED on the WAC will blink while in Construction Group mode
●
The WAC will leave Construction Grouping after 30 minutes
●
6.
WaveLinx devices will start communicating to the Wireless Area Controller
7.
As devices pair with the Wireless Area Controller creating the Construction Group, they will illustrate the following default
behavior. If a device has already been added to an area, it will not be affected.
Luminaires with integrated sensors
●
Luminaire dims to 10%
●
Tile Mount Sensor
●
Connected luminaire dims to 10%
●
Relay with 0-10V
●
Connected luminaires will dim to 10% and receptacles will turn OFF for 5 minutes
●
The controlled outlet will turn OFF for 5 minutes
●
Wallstation
●
All LEDs blink
●
All wallstations in the default area control all luminaires together.
●
8.
After all WaveLinx devices have joined the Construction Group and illustrated the above behavior.
Press the "PAIR" button on the WAC a second time to leave the Construction Grouping mode,
●
The WAC will leave Construction Grouping automatically after 30 minutes if the "PAIR" button is not pressed a second time.
●
The IEEE 802.15.4 wireless network LED on the WAC will be ON
●
9.
After leaving the Construction Group mode the WaveLinx devices will behave in the following manner.
Luminaires with integrated sensors
●
Luminaire dims to 75%
●
All luminaires turn ON when the first occupancy sensor senses motion
●
All luminaires turn OFF when the last occupancy sensor times out unoccupied
●
All wallstations in the default area control all luminaires together.
●
All integrated sensors, Tile Mount and Ceiling sensors create an occupancy group
●
Tile Mount Sensor.
●
Connected luminaire dims to 75%
