ZigBee Pairing Procedure

VT8000 Series

Quick setup

The quick set-up assumes all back-end conﬁgurations of the stand alone Room Controller acting as coordinator or the Multi-Purpose Manager (MPM) coordinator for the ZigBee network have already been done. It also assumes the user is familiar with the Permit Join function and the Wireless Ecosystem screen functions.

PROCEDURE

1. Set Permit Join on your Room Controller (or networked MPM coordinator if used) to On.

2. Go to ﬁrst unused Zone screen in Wireless Ecosystem section of Room Controller’s interface.

3. Insert battery or remove pull tab (for contact sensors) to activate ZigBee sensor.

4. Verify sensor has joined network, and that on Zone screen the Paired ﬁeld status reads Yes.

5. Set the Set function to parameter to the correct setting.

6. Set Permit Join on your Room Controller (or networked MPM coordinator if used) to Off.

7. Conditional to use of door or window contact sensors:

a) Go to ﬁrst screen in Conﬁguration section of interface.

b) For window sensor, set UI16 to Window.

c) For door sensor, set UI17 to Door Dry.

8. Physically install the sensor.

TROUBLESHOOTING

If the short procedure described here is insufﬁcient or an MPM or Room Controller needs to be conﬁgured, refer to the full procedure described later in this document.

ZigBee Pairing Procedure

VT8000 Series

Overview

This procedure shows you how to pair an VT8000 Series Room Controller with one of the following ZigBee Sensors:

• Ceiling Mounted Sensor

• Door/Window Mounted Sensor

• Motion Sensor

The ZigBee Sensors can be paired with a stand-alone Room Controller, or with a Room Controller as part of a network. However, when pairing a ZigBee Sensor with a Room Controller on a network, the Room Controller must ﬁrst be bound to a StruxureWare Lite Multi-Purpose Manager.

You can pair up to 10 ZigBee Sensors per Room Controller. Each MPM can connect wirelessly with up to 30 ZigBee enabled devices such as Room Controllers.

SETTINGS

You must correctly set the following parameters to successfully pair a ZigBee Sensor with a Room Controller:

• PAN ID to value less than 499 if Room Controller is to be bound to a MPM.

• PAN ID to value greater than or equal to 500 if the Room Controller is stand-alone.

• PAN ID parameter in Building Expert set to the same value as in the Room Controller.

• Permit join set to ON in Building Expert and Room Controller and then set to OFF in Building Expert and the Room Controller after a successful pairing.

INSTALLATION STEPS

Perform the following steps to successfully pair the ZigBee Sensor to the Room Controller:

1. Bind the Room Controller to the MPM.

2. Set the parameters for the MPM.

3. Set Permit Join to On in the Room Controller and MPM

4. Pair the Sensor with the Room Controller

5. Install the Sensor at the selected location (see Installation Guide).

CONFIGURE VT8000 SERIES

1. In the center of the top of the screen, touch and hold this point for 3 seconds to enter setup mode.

VT8000 Series

2. Select Network.

3. Select COM address.

• Using the up/down arrow icons, enter the COM address value.

Back to Setup

Change value

• This should be unique to the device for networked installations.

4. Select ZigBee pan. ID.

• Using the up/down arrows, enter the ZigBee pan. ID value.

• This value should be 499 or less if the Room Controller is to be part of a network of Room Controllers, and 500 or greater if the

Room Controller will be stand-alone.

5. Select ZigBee channel.

6. Using the up/down arrows, enter the channel number.

7. Select the Back to Setup icon
