Installation instructions
WaveLinx Wireless Area Controller (WAC)
PAIR button functionality
Using the PAIR button on the Wireless Area Controller allows you to add or remove devices to the WaveLinx system, reset
building network login information and restore factory defaults.
Construction Grouping
With the patent-pending Construction Grouping mode, installers can now complete a quick system start-up to confirm that
the devices have been installed correctly, instead of waiting for factory-trained technicians to get the lights on a project in
working order. Installers follow a simple process to pair the wireless devices and assign addresses with the appropriate WAC
and initiate occupancy-based lighting control functionality. This saves lighting energy during the construction phase of the
project by ensuring that the lights are turned off when the area is unoccupied.
1. Locate the Wireless Area Controllers on the site floorplan
2. Identify which WaveLinx devices should be in range and assigned to each Wireless Area Controller
3. Identify the circuit breakers that control WaveLinx devices that are intended to be assigned to the Wireless Area
Controller by performing Construction Grouping
4. Cycle power to each circuit breaker for the identified WaveLinx devices
●
●
WaveLinx devices will search for the Wireless Area Controller for 30 minutes after each power cycle, unless they have
already paired with a WAC
5. On the Wireless Area Controller press and release the “PAIR” button to enter Construction Grouping Mode
●
●
The 802.15.4 wireless network LED on the WAC will blink while in Construction Group mode
●
●
The WAC will leave Construction Grouping after 30 minutes
6. WaveLinx devices will start communicating to the Wireless Area Controller
7. As devices pair with the Wireless Area Controller creating the Construction Group, they will illustrate the following
default behavior. If a device has already been added to an area, it will not be affected.
