Cooper WaveLinx Lite User And Programming Manual page 8

WaveLinx Lite devices operate autonomously with default out-of-the-box programmed behavior once they are installed and powered. They will
work indefinitely in this mode unless they are programmed using the WaveLinx Lite Mobile App.
• The WaveLinx Lite Mobile App prevents unauthorized access by limiting the site setup to one registered administrative user. The
administrator can then invite additional users to assist with the initial setup if desired.
• The administrator can sync and transfer the site to another person at any time using the tools available in the app.
The process of adding the device to the WaveLinx Lite Mobile App is referred to as provisioning. During provisioning, each device is assigned
to an area. The type of area it is assigned to determines how the device will communicate and what features are available (networked area vs.
standalone area).
• Each WaveLinx Lite Mobile App site can have up to a total of 28 areas
In a networked area, a unique Bluetooth mesh network is formed among devices assigned to that area. Devices form communication paths for
passing information using the structure of the mesh network architecture to create fault tolerant and self-healing paths such that if a device is
removed, other devices continue to communicate and function without that device. For more information on networked areas, see page 24.
• Up to 50 provisioned devices (40 best practice) may be assigned to each networked area.
• The distance from one device to the next device in a networked area should not exceed 100ft (30m) LOS (line of sight).
• When communicating in a networked area, device to device transmission will not exceed 5 hops.
• Up to 16 control zones (groups) can be created in one networked area.
• During provisioning, the distance from WaveLinx Lite device being provisioned to the mobile device running the WaveLinx Lite application
should not exceed 60 feet. For best results, get as close to the device as possible.
• After the devices are provisioned, the mobile device running the WaveLinx Lite application can be within 60 feet of any line powered device
that belongs to the area.
In a standalone area, devices operate autonomously. They communicate directly to the WaveLinx mobile app via Bluetooth but do not pass
information to each other. For more information on standalone areas, see page 24.
• There is no limit to the number of devices that can be assigned to a standalone area.
• During provisioning and when making changes after provisioning, the distance from the WaveLinx device to the mobile device running the
WaveLinx Lite application should not exceed 60 feet. For best results, get as close to the device as possible.
The WaveLinx Lite Mobile Application will be used to communicate with the WaveLinx Lite devices. The mobile application also connects to the
internet through a cloud portal to store site programming for database sync purposes. Some of the steps outlined in this manual will require
that the mobile device have an internet connection while other steps will require a Bluetooth connection to the WaveLinx Lite devices. The
following symbols will be used throughout the manual to indicate what type of connection is required for the described steps:
Icon Connection Required
The mobile device must have an internet connection to process the described steps.
Turn on the mobile device's Bluetooth to process the described steps.
