User Manual: WaveLinx Lite (1.5)

WaveLinx Lite devices operate autonomously with default out-of-the-box programmed behavior once they are installed and powered. They will
work indefinitely in this mode unless they are programmed using the WaveLinx Lite Mobile App. This process is referred to as
provisioning
.
During
provisioning
, each device is assigned to an area and lighting devices are assigned to zones. Each area forms a unique Bluetooth mesh
network for the devices that are assigned to it. Devices form communication paths for passing information using the structure of the mesh
network architecture to create fault tolerant and self-healing paths such that if a device is removed, other devices continue to communicate and
function without that device.
Within the WaveLinx Lite Architecture, the following rules apply:
•
Each WaveLinx Lite Mobile App site can have up to 28 areas (networks) with up to 16 zones (groups) per area.
•
Up to 50 provisioned devices (40 best practice) may be assigned to each area.
•
The distance from one device to the next device should not exceed 100ft (30m) LOS (line of sight).
•
When communicating, device to device transmission will not exceed 5 hops.
•
During provisioning, the distance from WaveLinx Lite devices to the mobile device running the WaveLinx Lite application should not exceed
60 feet. For best results, get as close to the device as possible.
•
The WaveLinx Lite Mobile App site prevents unauthorized access by limiting provisioning and setup to one registered administrative user.
The administrator can backup and transfer the site administration to another person using the tools available in the app.
Note
: It is recommended to avoid placing WaveLinx Lite sensors within 3ft (1m) of air vents.
WaveLinx Lite Communication Requirements
The WaveLinx Lite Mobile Application will be used to communicate to the WaveLinx Lite devices. The mobile application also connects to the
internet through a cloud portal to store site programming for backup purposes. Some of the steps outlined in this manual will require that the
mobile device have an internet connection while other steps will require a Bluetooth connection to the WaveLinx Lite devices. The following
symbols will be used throughout the manual to indicate what type of connection is required for the described steps:

The mobile device must have an internet connection to process the described steps.
Turn on the mobile device’s Bluetooth to process the described steps.
WaveLinx Lite Device Reference Sheets
This section contains information about each device used in the WaveLinx Lite System. Each device will have a reference sheet describing the
device and its general functionality. Additional details include specific information that will be used for reference throughout the manual. Once
familiar with the general programming steps, the reference sheet can act as a quick reference guide for specific device behavior or
programming details.
Each device reference sheet includes:
•
General description
•
Out-of-the-box (unprovisioned) behavior
•
Provisioned default behavior
•
LED behavior
•
Specific details for programming supported device functions such daylight operation and daylight calibration recommendations
•
Factory reset instructions (returning to out-of-the-box unprovisioned state)
•
Identification behavior
•
Loss of communications behavior
