Wireless sensor overview
The Carrier wireless sensors, designed for zone control, are low-power wireless devices that use light-harvesting
through solar panels as their primary power source. The wireless line of sensors includes the models shown in the
list below. All are available in 868, 902, and 928 MHz radio frequency. The sensors are thermistor-based
temperature sensors that may optionally sense humidity.
Wireless sensors communicate through a Wireless Adapter, which is wired to the Rnet port of the controller.

NOTES
•
The Wireless Adapter requires a 24 Vac or 24 Vdc power supply. It is not powered by the Rnet.
•
If the Wireless Adapter will be:
○
Daisy-chained on the Rnet with ZS sensors or an Equipment Touch, use the standard 4-conductor Rnet
wiring.
○
The only device on the Rnet, you can use a 3-conductor cable instead of the standard 4-conductor Rnet
cable.
