sensor.
• If mounting onto sheetrock or plaster, use the plastic threaded anchors (pre-drilling
holes is not usually necessary) and the two M3.5 x 20 mm mounting screws.
• For mounting onto an electrical junction box, use the two 6-32 x 3/4 in. screws.

Addressing
Air-Fi addressing of WCS and WCI determines which devices can communicate on an
Air-Fi network.
GRP and NET must be set the same for all WCS and WCI on the
Air-Fi network.
WCS address is configured on the sensor’s display.
WCS Address
must match the appropriate unit controller rotary address setting.
See Air-Fi
WCS Configuration Instructions X3964126601 or Air-Fi WCS Quick Reference Guide
BAS-SVU029*-EN for more information.

Establishing an Air-Fi
®
Network
When all aspects of hardware installation are complete, you are ready to power up the
system and establish the wireless network.
Best Practice: Power up all devices in the network at the same time. If you are
unable to do this, power them up in the following order:
1. All WCIs.
2. All unit controllers: UC210, UC400, UC600, BCI-I, BCI-R.
3. The System Controller.
4. WCSs, if present.
Note:
If the coordinator WCI is powered up 1 hour or more before the other devices on
the network, then you must open the network manually or with Tracer TU.
Automatic Network Formation and Sensor Association
A WCI that is connected to a System Controller is auto-assigned as the network
coordinator. The coordinator WCI allows all WCIs and WCSs having matching addresses
to automatically join the network. (For more details about the process of network
establishment, see the Air-Fi
®
Wireless System IOM (BAS-SVX40).
After the network is formed, WCSs automatically associate with their designated
controllers.
