ZDClink Linking Setup

Wireless ZDClink Linking Setup

Chassis Communication and Assignment

1.  Restore power to the primary controller.
2.  On the facepack 

Diagnostics

 screen, verify that the primary 

controller has been "Assigned" and is "Communicating."

Note

The assigned chassis numbers do not always 
correspond with the installed primary and satellite 
controllers shown on the display.

3.  Apply power to satellite controllers.
4.  On facepack 

Diagnostics

 screen, verify satellite controllers 

have been "Assigned" and are "Communicating."

Before proceeding, confirm that the number of total chassis 
assigned and communicating equal the total number of primary 
and satellite controllers.

Wireless Communication and Assignment

Before programming, determine which Wireless Linking Module 
(LINK-MOD in North America or LINK-MOD-E outside North 
America) will be installed on the primary ZDClink Controller.
