ZFR1810 Wireless Field Bus Coordinator Installation Instructions
7
Power Supply Output
Use a six-conductor SA Bus RS-485 cable with
RJ45
connectors to connect an external Metasys®
device to the FC BUS OUT
jack as shown in Figure 1.
Setup and Adjustments
PAN Offset
Set the PAN Offset value of the ZFR1810 Coordinator
using the Dual Inline Package (DIP) switches to
configure the ZFR1810 Coordinator to communicate
with the ZFR1811 Routers assigned to it. See Figure 1
and Figure 6.
The PAN Offset value equals the sum of the numbers
set to ON. For example, if the DIP switches labelled
1, 4, and 8 are set to ON, the PAN Offset value is 13
(1 + 4 + 8 = 13).
When selecting a PAN Offset value for a wireless
system:
•
Use a unique PAN Offset value for each wireless
mesh network at a job site.
•
Use the same PAN Offset value for each wireless
device in a wireless mesh network - the
ZFR1810 Coordinator and each associated
ZFR1811 Router and WRZ Series Sensor.
PAN Offset and MS/TP Address Interaction
At Release 4.1 and later, the MS/TP address of the
ZFR1810 Coordinator is no longer fixed at 2. The new
address is
120 plus the sum of the first three values
of the PAN Offset that are set to the ON position, giving
an MS/TP address range of 120 to 127.
IMPORTANT:
Do not exceed the power supply
output of the ZFR1810 Coordinator. The ZFR1810
Coordinator’s power supply input must be able to
source the ZFR1810 Coordinator and the connected
external devices. Exceeding the power supply input
limits may cause the ZFR1810 Coordinator to shut
down.
IMPORTANT:
Ensure that the PAN Offset switches
are set to the same value for the
ZFR1810 Coordinator and each associated
ZFR1811 Router, and WRZ Series Sensor in a mesh
network.
IMPORTANT:
To avoid MS/TP address conflicts,
do not
connect the ZFR1810 Coordinator to the
power supply before setting the PAN Offset
switches.
