The wireless products within a BAS system are ideal for any location where it is cost-prohibitive, difficult, or aesthetically unappealing to use a hard wire between BAS products. Examples of these locations include the following:
- Office buildings, university campuses, educational facilities, correctional facilities, and other commercial structures with brick or solid concrete walls or ceilings, that impede hardwired applications.
- Office buildings, retail stores, and other commercial real estate where tenant turnover is frequent and temporary walls and ceilings are common.
- Museums, historical buildings, atriums, and other sites where building aesthetics and historical preservation are important.
- Stadiums, arenas, gymnasiums, convention centers, airports, zoos, and other locations with large, open spaces with wood veneer, or other decorative surfaces that present challenges to hardwiring.
- Buildings with asbestos or other hazardous materials that must not be disturbed.
- Buildings with occupants sensitive to business disruptions.
- Regions with high labor costs.
The WRG1830/ZFR183x Pro Series Wireless Field Bus System is approved by national compliance agencies for use in the United States and Canada. Refer to the WRG1830/ZFR183x Pro Series Wireless Field Bus System Catalog Page, LIT-1901153 for full technical specifications
Do not use the wireless BAS products in applications that cannot tolerate intermittent interference or where the following conditions apply:
- Locations or applications that prohibit cellular telephones or Wi-Fi systems.
- Critical control features would affect life safety or result in large monetary loss, including secondary (backup) life-safety applications.
- Data centers, production lines, or critical areas would be shut down.
- Loss of critical control would result from loss of data from humidity or temperature sensor communications.
- Operation of exhaust fans or Air Handling Units (AHUs) would impair a purge or pressurization mode.
- Missing data would invalidate reporting required by the customer.
- Security points are monitored.
