Q: Should I incorporate lightning surge protection for my
transceiver?

20 feet or more. Contact your Carrier representative.
Q: What is the highest baud rate of the Carrier RS-485
adapter?
A: 9600 Baud.
Q: How many network IDS are available?
A: 64,000
Q: How can I improve communications indoors?
A: Try using directional antennas to lessen or eliminate bounc-
ing signals being received from the remotes.
Q: Is it possible for CCN communication retries to happen
because of wireless interference?
A: Yes, although Carrier wireless modems are designed to
avoid communication interruption, it is possible for the user to
see duplicate alarms on a ComfortWORKS® or Comfort-
VIEW™ display due to wireless interference.
Q: Are there limits to the application of wireless CCN
communications?
A: Yes. As with any wireless communication, the transceiver
can be interfered with by a physical blockage or electrical
interference. Carrier wireless transceivers should NOT be
installed in applications where temporary loss of communica-
tions cannot be tolerated by the control system. Suitable appli-
cations include equipment monitoring, alarm monitoring,
control overrides and temporary service connections.
