About this task

To install the ZFR1831 Wireless Router to the field controller, complete the following steps:

Procedure

  1. Refer to the ZFR1831 Pro Series Wireless Router Installation Guide (Part No. 24-114610-0004).
    Important: Switch 128 on the FC Bus address switch block enables the PCA/PCG/PCV/PCX to operate in a wireless mode using the WNC1820/ZFR182x Pro Series Wireless Field Bus System. Set the field controller’s Switch 128 to the ON position for wireless operation. Set the field controller’s Switch 128 to the OFF position for hardwired operation.
    Important: For newer CGM and CVM models, you must connect the wireless ZFR router to the controller before you apply power to the controller for it to automatically identify as a wireless enabled field controller (WEFC) .
    Important: Do not connect the ZFR Pro Router to the field controller before setting the PAN OFFSET switches.
  2. Set the ZFR1831 Router’s PAN OFFSET Switch according to the job drawings.
  3. Connect the ZFR Pro Router to the field controller as shown in Table 6.

    Note:
    • SA Bus products include the FX-DIS1710 Local Controller Display and the NS Series (RJ-12 connection) Network Sensors, and Balancing Sensors.
    • PCXs cannot be used in wireless mode to extend the I/O of a field controller. You must always hardwire PCXs to their host field controller.
    • Do not connect any device to the SA Bus/FC Bus terminal block when using the PCXs with a ZFR Pro Router.
    • On the PCV1610/1620 models, when the 128 bit switch on the address DIP switch is turned on to enable wireless operation, the FC and SA Bus are swapped internally. All connections that were SA Bus (RJ-12 and terminal blocks) are now FC Bus connections. The terminal block connections marked for the FC Bus are now connected internally to the SA Bus.
