Installation Guide

Introduction

The ZFR1831 Wireless Router (ZFR1831) is a component of the ZFR183x Pro Series Wireless Field Bus

System which provides BACnet IP connectivity to compatible Johnson Control Field Controllers, VAV

Controllers, Thermostats and Sensors over a wireless mesh network. The ZFR1831 can be used as a

wireless Network Coordinator, a Field Controller Router or Stand-alone Repeater.

Applications

Important: 

Where failure or malfunction of an ZFR1831 or loss of communications due to

wireless interference could lead to personal injury or property damage to the controlled

equipment or other property, additional precautions must be designed into the control

system. Incorporate and maintain other devices, such as supervisory or alarm systems or

safety or limit controls, intended to warn of or protect against failure or malfunction of a

ZFR1831.
