Special Precautions for UL and UL Class I DIV 2 (C1D2) Note 1: Class 1, Div 2 is NOT applicable to ZZxD-Nx-MR (medium range),

ZZ8D-Nx-xR (800 MHz) and ZZxD-Nx-xR-AU (Australian) modules.

Note 2: For C1D2 information on ZZ-8DO-R, separate sheet is attached.

WARNING – EXPLOSION HAZARD – SUBSTITUTION OF COMPONENTS

MAY IMPAIR SUITABILITY FOR CLASS I, DIVISION 2.

WARNING – EXPLOSION HAZARD – WHEN IN HAZARDOUS LOCATIONS,

TURN OFF POWER BEFORE REPLACING ANTENNA.

WARNING – EXPLOSION HAZARD – DO NOT DISCONNECT EQUIPMENT UNLESS POWER HAS BEEN SWITCHED OFF OR THE AREA IS KNOWN TO BE NONHAZARDOUS.

THIS EQUIPMENT IS SUITABLE FOR USE IN CLASS I, DIVISION 2, GROUPS A, B, C, AND D, OR UNCLASSIFIED LOCATIONS.

Maximum Ambient Air Temperature 80°C (176°F) except for ZZ-8DO-R.

Wiring Terminals: Copper Wire Only One Conductor per Terminal Wire Range 28 to 16 AWG Tightening Torque 1.7 lb-in Temperature Rating of Field Wiring – 105° C (221° F) minimum sized for 60° C (140°F) ampacity.

Warning – 2 DIN rail end brackets (supplied with each expansion module) must be installed, one on each end of the assembled system on the DIN rail to mechanically secure the individual products.

 Select a radio modem to match the type of Zlinx I/O Base

Module (SR, MR or LR).

 Select a Base Module and Expansion Modules based on

the type of I/O needed.

 Perform an installation site survey to ensure adequate

RF coverage and select a mounting location.

 Maximum Ambient Air Temperature for all modules is

80°C, with the exception of the ZZ-8DO-R, which is 65°C

 Mount and connect together the Base and Expansion

Modules (Expansion Modules on the right side of the Base).

 Plug the Configuration Box into the right side of the Zlinx

I/O system.

 Attach antennas to the Base Module and to the Modbus

radio modem.

 Mount and connect together Modbus radio modem and

Modbus device.

 Ensure that the Modules are attached appropriately.  Connect field wiring to Zlinx I/O terminals.  Connect power to the Base Module:

 Connect power to the Modbus radio modem:  Refer to the Installation Manual for power and wattage

requirements.

7516R8_ZlinxIO-0812qsg – Modbus Mode

Refer to the User Manual for Input / Output Voltage and Current Ratings

 Insert the I/O Manager software CD. Installation should

launch automatically. If not, click Start, Run, [drive]:\ZlinxMgr.exe, where [drive] is your CD-Rom drive.

 Follow the prompts to install the Zlinx I/O Manager.

 Connect a PC serial port (COM1 to 16) to the

Configuration Box using a straight-through serial cable or USB cable if using a ZZ-PROG1-USB Module.

 Click Start\Programs\B&B Electronics\Zlinx\Zlinx

Manager\Zlinx Manager, then click Zlinx I/O and then Zlinx I/O Configuration. It will auto-search for attached Zlinx Modules on startup. Zlinx I/O will open and display the Information tab showing model numbers, version numbers of the attached Base and Expansion Modules.

o Make sure that all Base Modules have the same

firmware revision*

o Make sure that all Expansion Modules have the

same firmware version*

*This can be verified under the Information tab.

On the Configuration tab:

 Select the Modbus Mode to communicate with a Modbus

RF modem.

 Set the Modbus address to the address number desired

for the Module being configured.

7516R8_ZlinxIO-0812qsg – Modbus Mode

 Set Calibration option if you desire to better match a

sensor, or a portion of a signal, to the I/O.

 Check Enabled checkbox and set appropriate values for

parameters in Failsafe section to go to the user-defined values for AO or DO in case of communication failure.

 Check Use Output to Indicate Communication Failure

checkbox in Dedicated Comm Fail Alarm section to configure the first DO on the Base Module to be a communication failure alarm indicator.

 Check Invert Output checkbox to invert the logic of Digital

Outputs on Base or Expansion Modules.

 Click Update button to apply the settings.

 Configure Wireless settings:

o Select the desired RF Transmit Power (not

applicable for MR models).

o Select the desired OTA data rate (not applicable for

SR, MR, and LR-868 models).

o Set the Channel Number to match the Modbus radio

modem you will be communicating with.

o Set the Network Identifier to match the Modbus radio

modem you will be communicating with.

o If using a MR or ZP9D-115RM-LR-xx radio modem,

set the destination address (ATDT) to 0xFFFF.

o Set Repeater checkbox if the Base is to be a

repeater. Note that ONLY the (MR/ZZ9D-xx-LR-xx) version supports this.

o Select encryption (not applicable for MR models).

Note: Refer to the manual for more details concerning wireless settings.

 Click Update to save configuration.

 Set Analog Inputs and Outputs for 0 to 10 VDC or 0 to 20

mA as required (setting one sets all analog I/O for that module).

 Set Digital Inputs for Discrete or Counter, as required.  Check Enabled checkbox and set appropriate values for

parameters in Exception Reporting section to use the ability of reporting possible problems on devices.

Refer to Troubleshooting Section of the Manual if operation is not successful.
