Expected Installation Time

Product Description

The Wireless Field Level Network Transceiver
(FLNX) is mounted at or near the FLN device
and is powered by 24 Vac. The antenna can be
mounted directly to the radio or mounted remotely for
installations where the location of the FLNX causes
the antenna to be shielded—for example, when the
FLNX is mounted inside a TEC enclosure.

Antenna Mounting

Direct Mount Antenna

The preferred mounting configuration is to mount
the FLNX outside the TEC enclosure in a location
where it will establish the m ax imu m number of
communication links with other FLNXs and its
associated FPX. For example, in a VAV application
this will typically be on the bottom of the VAV box in
the ceiling plenum with the entire antenna extending
below the VAV box (Figure 2).

VAV BOX

Remote Mount Antenna

The FLNX is mounted inside the TEC (or any metal)
enclosure and the antenna is brought through a 1/2”
knockout (Figure 3).

The antenna extension cable is 12” long.

Installation

1. Determine the optimal location of the FLNX and
antenna for RF communications.

Ideally, the antenna should extend below the VAV
box.

2. Mount the FLNX using the provided screws.

You can als o us e dou ble -sid ed tap e or VELCRO
fasteners.

3. Set the Channel and Network ID switches to the

settings selected for the WFLN.

4. Connect the communication port of the FLN
device to the FLNX (cable length limit is 4000 ft).

5. Connect to 24

CAUTION:

If the FLNX shares the power supply
with a Wireless TEC Transceiver ( TT X,
P/N 550-205) and the TEC, be sure to
useagroundisolatedtransformer(P/N
550-710) between the TTX and the power
transformer.
