Installation Guide
This guide shows you how to install the ZigBee Pro wireless module with a SER/SE8000 Series Room Controller.
- Remove the security screw on the bottom of the Room Controller cover.
- Open the unit by pulling on the bottom of the Room Controller. Figure 1: Diagram illustrating an open Room Controller, showing the base and the detached cover, with an arrow indicating how to open the unit by pulling from the bottom.
- Carefully remove the Room Controller's Motherboard from the casing and turn it over.
- Locate the gap in the upper-right corner of the Room Controller Motherboard and identify the holes to insert the ZigBee Pro module onto the Motherboard. Figure 2: Diagram showing the Room Controller Motherboard with a highlighted gap in the upper-right corner, indicating where the ZigBee Pro module should be aligned and inserted into the connector pins.
- Align the connector pins on the ZigBee Pro module with the holes on the Motherboard. NOTE: Ensure alignment of pins is correct so as to not damage the ZigBee Pro module.
- Gently press the ZigBee Pro module into the Room Controller Motherboard until it fits snugly in place. NOTE: Do not press too hard to avoid damage to the ZigBee Pro module.
- Gently replace the Room Controller Motherboard into the casing.
- Gently align the cover to the top of the base and snap it in place from the bottom. Figure 3: Diagram of the assembled Room Controller, showing the cover aligned to the base, ready to be snapped shut from the bottom.
- Install the security screw.
Quick Setup
This short procedure is intended to let you pair a ZigBee sensor with your Room Controller. It assumes that all the back-end configuration of the stand-alone Room Controller acting as coordinator or the Multi-Purpose Manager (MPM) coordinator for the ZigBee network has already been done, and it assumes that the user is familiar with the Permit Join function and the Wireless Ecosystem screen functions.
PROCEDURE
- Set Permit Join on your Room Controller (or networked MPM coordinator if used) to On.
- Go to the first unused Zone screen in the Wireless Ecosystem section of the Room Controller's interface.
- Insert the battery or remove the pull tab (for contact sensors) to activate the ZigBee sensor.
- Verify that the sensor has joined the network, and that on the Zone screen the Paired field status reads Yes.
- Set the Set function parameter to the correct setting.
- Set Permit Join on your Room Controller (or networked MPM coordinator if used) to Off.
- Conditional to use of door or window contact sensors:
- Go to the first screen in the Configuration section of the interface.
- For window sensor, set UI 16 to Window.
- For door sensor, set UI 17 to Door Dry.
- Physically install the sensor.
Troubleshooting
If the short procedure described here is insufficient or an MPM or Room Controller needs to be configured, please refer to the SE8000 Room Controllers ZigBee Pro Wireless Integration Guide available on buildingsdownloads.schneider-electric.com.
