ZFR1812 Wall Mount Wireless Field Bus Router Installation Instructions

Setup and Adjustments
Set the PAN Offset value of the ZFR1812 Router using
the DIP switches (located on the back of the cover) to
configure the ZFR1812 Router to communicate on the
wireless mesh network. See Figure 1 and Figure 10.
The value equals the sum of the numbers set to ON.
For example, if the DIP switches labeled 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
ZFR1812 Router and WRZ Sensor.
•
If, after setting the PAN Offset value you find that
you are unable to communicate with the desired
network, it may help to toggle the DIP switches to
ensure a good connection. Power down the
ZFR1812 and toggle the switches (all off, then all
on) and then set the switches to the desired PAN.
Restore power to the ZFR1812 and see that it joins
the correct network.
•
If the ZFR1812 misread the dip switches, it might
become the child of another network and use up an
available child slot in a device you did not expect. If
this situation occurred, a reform on the incorrect
network should clear up the now unusable child
address.
Note:
On some date code labels, the switch position
numbers on the bottom of the DIP switch are reversed.
In either case, the switch positions are always read
right to left.
IMPORTANT:
Ensure that the PAN OFFSET
switches are set to the same value for each
ZFR1810 Coordinator, ZFR1812 Router, and
WRZ Sensor in a mesh network.
IMPORTANT: Do not
connect the ZFR1812 Router
to the power supply before setting the PAN OFFSET
switches.
IMPORTANT:
On the MS/TP Address switch block
of the associated FEC/IOM/VMA16 Field Controller,
set switch 128 to ON for use with a ZFR1812
Router.
