5 Overview of wireless sensors Carrier wireless sensors, designed for zone control, are low-power devices that use light-harvesting through solar panels as their primary power source. The wireless line of sensors includes the models shown in the table below. The wireless sensors communicate with a Wireless Adapter that is wired to the Rnet port of a controller. The Wireless Adapter translates the sensor's customized EnOcean protocol into the Rnet protocol so that the sensors can be integrated with the existing programming logic for wired ZS sensors. NOTE Wireless sensors do not operate with the standard EnOcean protocol, and third-party wireless sensors do not operate on the Rnet network. Wireless sensors should typically be located no more than 60 ft. (18.29 m) from the Wireless Adapter, assuming a sensor and the Wireless Adapter are separated by no more than 1 drop ceiling and 2 walls (drywall with metal studs). Longer distances can be achieved if there are fewer obstructions. See Planning the layout of wireless devices (page 17) for more information on placement and building material impact.

21 Planning the layout of wireless devices 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. 17

22 Planning the layout of wireless devices WARNING Using Rnet tags 5, 6, or 7 in a control program that has a ZS Pro or Pro-F version or earlier in a Sensor Binder microblock will disable the display on the ZS sensor. You must do one of the following to prevent this occurrence: Replace the ZS Pro or Pro-F with a newer one (v or later). If the controller supports multiple control programs, create a separate control program for the ZS Pro without tags 5, 6, or 7. To determine the ZS Pro or Pro-F version, in the i-vu Installer tree, expand the controller with the ZS Sensor, and then select the Sensor Binder microblock. The version is shown in the Associated Sensors table. CAUTIONS You cannot have SPT Sensors on the same Rnet with any of the above devices. An Rnet can have more than one wireless Pro-F sensor, however, changing the setpoint on one Pro-F will not be reflected on the display of another Pro or Pro-F, possibly causing confusion for the user. Wireless device placement guidelines The Wireless Adapter and its associated wireless sensors communicate through wireless signals. Wireless signals are radio waves that can degrade as they pass through objects, be blocked altogether, or be reflected. Building construction or decor may interfere with signals. Signals can typically pass through wood, cinder block, glass, or gypsum, but metal, brick, stone, and water will severely impact the signal. For example, items that could affect the signal are plaster containing support wire, metal file cabinets, or even a grouping of plants (living things have water and water absorbs signals). Use the following guidelines to determine the best location for the Wireless Adapter and sensors so that they have optimal signal reception. 18

23 Planning the layout of wireless devices All models of wireless sensors Distance. Sensors should be no more than 60 feet from the Wireless Adapter. Building construction. There should be no more than 2 drywall/metal stud walls and a drop ceiling between a sensor and the Wireless Adapter. TIP To reduce the distance that a signal has to travel through walls, try to install the sensors and Wireless Adapter so that the line from the Wireless Adapter to each sensor passes through walls as close to perpendicular as possible. Wireless Adapter position. The front of the Wireless Adapter should always face the sensors. If you place a sensor behind the Wireless Adapter, the circuit board will interfere with the sensor's transmissions. Wall mount: The front of the Wireless Adapter should face outward toward sensors. Overhead mount: The front of the Wireless Adapter should face downward toward sensors. 19

24 Planning the layout of wireless devices Lighting. A solar-powered sensor should get consistent and adequate light (no less than 110 lux). If you have several locations to choose from, choose the brightest location. NOTE LED lighting provides substantially lower energy content than fluorescent lighting. For example, an LED light and a fluorescent light may both give 300 lux, but the LED light will charge the sensors much more slowly. Obstacles. Avoid metal, water, plants, and reflective surfaces. Wireless signal noise. Other devices that emit noise at the same frequency can impact the signal. Invest in a spectrum meter to help locate a source of noise. Angles. Avoid putting wireless devices in the following locations: In corners as the signal can bounce before it reaches the device. Near angular decor that could redirect the signal. Motion sensors When determining the location for a Pro-F or Motion/Lux sensor, you should consider: Obstacles that could potentially block motion sensor s line of sight. Heat sources. Install the sensor at least feet from heating vents. If a sensor detects a rapid change in heat, it could inaccurately detect motion. Likeliest place for motion. If mounting on a wall, aim the sensor towards the likely entry point. If mounting a Motion/Lux sensor in the ceiling, place it in the middle of the detection area. 20

26 Pairing sensors to the Wireless Adapter using SensorBuilder Pairing sensors to the Wireless Adapter using SensorBuilder To enable communication between wireless sensors and their Wireless Adapter, you must use the SensorBuilder application to pair the devices. We recommend that you pair the sensors with the Wireless Adapter before installing the devices to save time. PREREQUISITES Computer with a current Microsoft Windows 7, 8 or 10 operating system USB Radio Wireless Adapter connected to a 24 Vac power source. See To install the Wireless Adapter (page 30) for power connector location. QR Scanner (Optional). See step 5 in Step 2: Pair sensors to the Wireless Adapter (page 23). NOTES SensorBuilder automatically assigns each wireless sensor an RnetID (starting with 0) that is the sensor's Rnet address; you cannot set the address on the physical sensor. You can pair a sensor to multiple Wireless Adapters. Step 1: Download and install SensorBuilder 1 On the computer, go to ( select Support Center > Controls Support > Software Downloads > i-vu Technicians Tools, and then download SensorBuilder_Setup.exe. 2 Insert the USB Radio into a USB port on your computer. NOTE The orange antenna should be straight. A bend in the antenna could degrade the signal. 3 Run SensorBuilder_Setup.exe and follow the prompts to install the software. 22

27 Pairing sensors to the Wireless Adapter using SensorBuilder 4 Start the SensorBuilder application. If the USB Radio driver installed correctly, the USB Port field should show something similar to the image below. If the driver did not automatically install correctly, see To install the USB Radio driver (page 25). 5 Click Start. NOTE The USB Radio can talk to only one application at a time. If you need to run SensorBuilder and SensorScan simultaneously, you can do either of the following: Use two USB Radios. Turn off communication with the USB radio in the current application, then switch to the other application and turn on the USB communication. Step 2: Pair sensors to the Rnet Wireless Adapter 1 In SensorBuilder's Driver pane, right-click the Wireless Adapter and then select Discover devices. Any Wireless Adapters within radio range will appear in the Devices pane.

46 Adjusting Wireless Adapter and wireless sensor settings Field Notes Applies to... Heartbeat interval in minutes COV (change of value) threshold Unoccupied send delay in minutes Lux offset Signal Booster Maximum setpoint adjust How frequently the sensor will send its value if no change of value has initiated a transmission. Set the heartbeat to 0 to have the sensor send only on change of value. This is the heartbeat setting in the sensor, and it must be less than or equal to the sensor's heartbeat setting in the Wireless Adapter. See To edit the Wireless Adapter's settings. Pro-F only: If the sensor sends a signal but does not receive an acknowledgement from the Wireless Adapter, the sensor will change its heartbeat to a 10-minute interval. When communication is restored, the sensor will return to its previous heartbeat. Changing the heartbeat to 10 minutes saves battery power if the original heartbeat was less than 10 minutes. The sensor's value must change by at least this much for the sensor to send a signal to the Wireless Adapter. NOTE If the sensor's value will be used to control variable devices such as modulating dampers or reheat coils, we recommend that you change the COV threshold to.288 F. The increase in signals will more quickly deplete the sensor's stored energy. When the status changes from occupied to unoccupied, the sensor will wait this long before sending the unoccupied status to the Wireless Adapter. If the sensor's lux value differs from a measured value, you can enter an amount by which the transmitted value will be adjusted. For an application such as lighting, change of value signals from unoccupied to occupied or occupied to unoccupied are crucial. If the sensor environment may cause signal interference at times, you can check these boxes to have the sensor send each message 3 times. The maximum amount (- and +) that a user can adjust the zone's setpoint on a sensor. For example, setting this field to 2 means a user can raise the setpoint nor more 2 degrees or lower the setpoint no more than 2 degrees. NOTE If you have more than 1 wireless Pro-F in a zone, changing the setpoint on one Pro-F will not be reflected on another Pro-F.
