All Rights Reserved. 13 Wiring Guidelines Follow the guidelines below when working with the RF Gateway.  Verify that the power supplying the system is turned OFF before handling electrical power conductors.  Observe national and local electrical codes.  Isolate the RF Gateway from the Class 1 wiring. Consult your national and local electrical codes for requirements about isolating Class 1 wiring and Class 2 wiring terminals.  Prevent wire cuttings and debris from entering the unit. Megger® Testing Guidelines Do not Megger® test C-Bus data cabling or terminals. Megger testing of data cabling or terminals can degrade the performance of the C-Bus network. It will not harm the units if electrical power terminals only are Megger tested. But because units contain electronic components, the Megger readings will not be correct. To obtain valid readings, disconnect the power lines from the units. HAZARD OF EQUIPMENT DAMAGE Do not Megger® test C-Bus data cabling or terminals as it can degrade the performance of the C-Bus network. Failure to follow this instruction will result in damage to the C-Bus network.

Configuration A RF Gateway consists of two separate internal sub-units, one for the wired network and one for the wireless system. Several gateways may be used within a wired C-Bus™ Network installation. When the installer scans the networks using C-Bus Toolkit software via a PC Interface, each Gateway identifies itself with one of four names, depending on its connection type (wired or RF wireless) and its position in the network (near or far side). See the names in the figure "Identifying Gateways When Scanning from a PC Interface." To configure the RF Gateway on a wired network, use C-Bus Toolkit Software.
Clipsal® RF Gateway 63249-420-273A3 Instruction Bulletin 02/2009 16 © 2009 Schneider Electric. All Rights Reserved. When configuring the wired side of the RF Gateway, note the following points.  The Unit Address of the wired near side of the RF Gateway (GATEWLSN) must match the Network Address of the Clipsal RF wireless system being linked to.  The Unit Address of the wireless far side of the RF Gateway (WGATE5F) must match the Network Address of the C-Bus wired network being linked to. The figure is a diagram of an installation with two wired networks linked through a wireless system. The installation uses two Gateways. Four Gateway subunits show up if the installer scans the networks using C-Bus Toolkit software via the PC Interface (PCI). Figure 7: Identifying Gateways When Scanning from a PCI

All Rights Reserved. 17 Communication Options The RF Gateway supports explicit routing of messages into and through both C-Bus™ wired networks and Clipsal® RF wireless systems. Such messages are used by control software such as the C-Bus Toolkit and control units such as the C-Touch Color Touch Screen. Several options are available when using the C-Bus Toolkit software to edit the Gateway unit. The following options are included on the "Connections" tab:  Send to adjacent network - This causes standard messages (such as button presses) on either side of the specified "Connect Applications" to be sent to the adjacent wired network or wireless system. When this option is enabled, a unit with a specific Group Address on the one side of the Gateway will be associated with units with the same Group Address on the other side (if units have the same Application Address).  Send to other remote network - This allows standard messages on either side of the specified "Connect Applications" to be sent from the wireless system to a non-adjacent C-Bus network (possibly through one or more network bridges).  Synchronize to wired - This option applies when the Gateway is powered up. It causes the Gateway to retrieve the levels of groups in the wired C-Bus network, and set the levels of corresponding groups in the wireless system to the same values.
Clipsal® RF Gateway 63249-420-273A3 Instruction Bulletin 02/2009 18 © 2009 Schneider Electric. All Rights Reserved. Status Reporting Wired C-Bus networks use a status reporting system (known as an MMI). This provides automatic detection and correction of discrepancies between the states of grouped inputs and outputs. It also allows the C-Bus Toolkit software, and special C-Bus control units, to take a snapshot of the states of units or groups in the network. RF Wireless systems use a different method of status reporting, which is slower but better suited to a radio transmission/reception environment. The Wireless C-Bus status reporting serves the same purpose as the wireless C-Bus MMI. The Gateway translates between the two status reporting types, allowing the RF Wireless system to be scanned and browsed using the C-Bus Toolkit software. After powering up, the Gateway may take up to 1 minute to obtain a complete view of the wireless system. Under some circumstances, the Gateway can take 30 to 60 seconds to recognize that a unit has been added to or removed from a wireless system. When using the C-Bus Toolkit software to view units on a wireless system, an "Update" button is provided to cause the Gateway to rediscover all wireless units. CARE AND CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS Follow the precautions below to properly clean and care for the unit.  Clean regularly using a soft lint free cloth.  Only use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner such as window cleaner lightly sprayed onto the lint free cloth to clean the unit.  Ensure hands are dry and clean before operating the unit.  Only use non-abrasive objects to operate the unit. Hard, sharp objects may cause damage.  Leave the unit uncovered to allow adequate ventilation.  Only use the unit indoors.  Properly shade the unit so that it is not exposed to direct sunlight for extended periods.
