Troubleshooting LEDs

The ZFR1810 Coordinator has five LEDs that indicate 
power, fault status, FC Bus activity, wireless activity, 
and signal strength. See Figure 1. These status LEDs 
are described in Table 3.  

Repair Information

If the ZFR1810 Wireless Field Bus Coordinator fails to 
operate within its specifications, replace the unit. For a 
replacement ZFR1810 Coordinator, contact the nearest 
Johnson Controls representative.

Note:

The firmware in the ZFR1810 Coordinator can 

be upgraded using the Controller Configuration Tool 
(CCT).
