Bluetooth communication module AM-STICK-WB
8.1
Bluetooth communication module AM-STICK-WB (option)
Available with integrated AM-STICK-WB Bluetooth communication module on re-
quest, and this option is indicated by the addition of "WB" to the type designation
(see rating plate), e.g. ECblue BASIC WB.
Alternatively, you can purchase the AM-STICK-WB communication module as an
accessory and upgrade.
Attention!
•
The module, and therefore also the end device in which it is installed (fan/frequency inverter), is not
designed for use in life-sustaining devices or systems where a malfunction can lead to serious
personal injury.
•
It is not permissible to use the module, or the end device in which it is installed, as a critical
component if the failure or malfunction of the component can impair the safety or functionality of life-
sustaining devices.
•
Customers who sell or use these ZIEHL-ABEGG products for these applications do so at their own
risk. They undertake to reimburse ZIEHL-ABEGG in full for any possible costs that may occur.
•
Those customers also agree to assign a new and secure access code (PIN) during the installation
of the module device. They are required to disclose the access code to their customers.

Function
The AM-STICK-WB includes a Bluetooth LE (BLE) module that enables the user to take advantage of
the 4.0+ Bluetooth technology with an Android device, iPhone, iPad or laptop.
BLE stands for

nergy or Bluetooth Smart as of Bluetooth version 4.0.
The
“
ZAset Mobile
”
app supplied by ZIEHL-ABEGG can be downloaded from the Google Play Store
or Apple App Store.
The app requires Android devices from version 4.4 onwards and iOS devices from version 11
onwards.
In a hard-wired system, wireless communication is primarily designed to provide a second interface
for communicating with the device (e.g., for con
fi
guration and diagnostics). The wireless communica-
tion uses the MODBUS protocol (MODBUS-TCP). The Bluetooth addressing takes place via the
Bluetooth address.
The Bluetooth scan automatically detects all devices within range. The app can then connect with
these devices via the Bluetooth address.
It is necessary to use the app to create a link between the device serial number and the AM-STICK-
WB.
Unlike in the case of RS-485 communication, you can protect your device with an access code by PIN
(0 - 9999) for wireless communication via the AM-STICK-WB.
During installation, it is essential to assign a dedicated secure PIN to a Bluetooth device or an
associated group of Bluetooth devices.
If the PIN is set to the factory setting, the app will prompt you to change it.
Information
•
You can change the PIN later in the
“
Controller Setup
”
under the
“
Wireless Network Key
”
parameter;
after making a change you must re-establish the Bluetooth connection.
•
The connection to the AM-STICK-WB is only possible with the correct PIN. If you have forgotten the
PIN, the only option is to export it using the device MODBUS RS-485 interface.
The MODBUS address is read and displayed as part of a Bluetooth scan. This means that you can
also identify the device via its MODBUS address if one has been assigned. Therefore, it is a good
idea to assign a MODBUS address even if the MODBUS network is not in use.
You can change the MODBUS address via the app in the device
“

”
; see the
“
Bus Address
”
parameter. Then apply the same procedure to the next device.
