ZFR1810 Wireless Field Bus Coordinator Installation Instructions

8

Note:

 Only the values associated with the first three 

switches (right to left) set to the ON position count 
towards the MS/TP address of the ZFR1810 
Coordinator. See the top of Figure 6.

Note:

On some date code labels, the switch position 

numbers on the bottom of the dip switch are reversed. 
In either case, the switch positions are always read 
right to left.

In Figure 6, the PAN Offset of the ZFR1810 
Coordinator is configured by adding the values 
associated with the first seven switch positions (right to 
left). The eighth switch position is not used. In Figure 6 
the PAN Offset is configured to 13 (values 1, 4, and 8) 
to the ON position. 

In Figure 6, the MS/TP address of 

the ZFR1810 

Coordinator is configured by adding the 

values associated with the first three switch positions 
(right to 

left).

The sum of the values is 5, so the MS/TP 

address of the ZFR1810 Coordinator is 120 + 5, which 
equals 125.

Setting the FC Bus End-of-Line (EOL) Switch

The FC Bus End-of-Line termination switch allows you 
to designate the ZFR1810 Coordinator as the end of 
the FC Bus. The default position is OFF. If the 
ZFR1810 Coordinator is at the end of a daisy chain of 
devices on the FC Bus, set the EOL switch to the ON 
position. See Figure 1 and Figure 7

Troubleshooting

Wireless Signal Strength

A wireless signal strength indication LED displays the 
reception strength of the transmissions between the 
ZFR1810 Coordinators, ZFR1811 Routers, and the 
WRZ Series Sensors. This LED helps determine the 
network connectivity status when selecting locations for 
the devices during system installation.

Approximately once every 10 seconds, the Signal 
Strength LED flashes to indicate the reception strength 
of the signal from neighboring devices. See Table 3 
and Figure 1.

Refer to the 

ZFR1800 Series Wireless Field Bus 

System Technical Bulletin (LIT-12011295)

 for more 

information on determining the signal strength between 
ZFR1800 Series devices in your application.

WRZ-SST-120 Wireless Sensing System Tool

Use the WRZ-SST-120 Wireless Sensing System Tool 
with a WRZ Series Sensor as a site survey tool to 
determine the wireless signal strength between a 
ZFR1810 Coordinator and a ZFR1811 Router or 
between two ZFR1811 Routers. Refer to the 

WRZ-SST-120 Wireless Sensing System Tool 
Installation Instructions (Part No. 24-10563-12)

 for 

more information on testing signal strength in your 
application.

Network Optimize/Reform Button

The Network Optimize/Reform Button allows the 
ZFR1810 Coordinator to use any of three functions:

Signal Strength

Network Optimize

Network Reform

Use the Signal Strength mode to aid in signal strength 
testing. Signal Strength mode causes the LEDs on the 
ZFR1811 routers to turn on and display signal strength 
for two hours.

Use the Network Optimize mode to clear the mesh 
device routing tables of the ZFR1811 Routers and 
attempt to find shorter and/or stronger signal paths to 
the ZFR1810 Coordinator.

Note:

The Network Optimize process can take up to 

15 minutes to complete.

Refer to the 

ZFR1800 Series Wireless Field Bus 

System Technical Bulletin (LIT-12011295)

 for more 

information about the Network Reform function.
