INSTALLATION / LINKING
A Master Transceiver and Remote Communication Node will not
operate as a system until they are linked together through the
installation linking process. The linking process binds one or more
RCN units to a Master so that they will communicate with each
other as a control system. There is no practical limit to how many
RCN units can be linked to a Master. Once linked, Remote
Control Nodes will only respond to the Master they are linked to.
Message traffic from other Master Transceivers and nodes will be
ignored. Master Transceivers and associated RCN units will not
interfere with or be affected by any other Master or RCN in
adjacent apartments, hotel rooms or neighboring homes. Linking
information is stored in non-volatile memory — It is not necessary
to re-link a Master and RCN if power is lost. Upon restoration of
power the units will continue to communicate as before.
NOTE:
If multiple installation teams are performing the linking process at the same
time, coordinate the activity to avoid the possibility of installers
simultaneously attempting to link RCN units.
For immediate visual confirmation of a successful link, it is recommended
that RCN’s and Master Transceivers are linked in close proximity to each
other.
LINKING PROCESS
Start the linking process by simultaneously pressing PB2 and PB3
on the Remote Control Node you wish to associate with a given
Master Transceiver. LED’s D2 and D3 will light and stay on for
approximately 5-seconds after you have simultaneously pressed
both buttons indicating an installation link period window is open.
Simultaneously press PB2 and PB3 on any RCN circuit board to
initiate an installation period.
At any time during the link period window , press PB2 on the
Master Transceiver. A successful link is indicated by green LED
D4 flash on the RCN. An unsuccessful link or installation period
timeout is indicated by red LED D5 flash.
