1VWA5000 Series Wireless Accessories For Commercial and Lodging HVAC VTR7000 Series Fan Coil Controller (Issue Date: May 10, 2011 – 028-0321_R0) Product overview The VWA5000W series of ZigBee wireless switches is used in conjunction with the Wireless versions of the VTR73XX Series Fan Coil Terminal Equipment Controllers. A typical hospitality application is where the VTR73xx wall terminal equipment controller has an on-board PIR sensor and wireless switches are used to monitor opening and closing of entry doors & windows. Wireless door switches used with the local VTR73xx PIR cover provides advanced local occupancy routine which provides advantageous energy savings during occupied hours without sacrificing occupant comfort. Wireless window switches are used to monitor outside windows being opened or not. This allows for critical system shut-down of heating or cooling by the FCU to prevent unwanted energy waste by tenants. Typical applications of VTR73xx Series Fan Coil Terminal Equipment Controllers with VWA5000W series of ZigBee wireless switches can be used in stand-alone mode with or without integration to a central management system for higher level functions such as central reservation occupancy system. A combination of up to 20 x VWA5000W door and / or window switches can be used simultaneously with a single VTR73xx Series Fan Coil Terminal Equipment Controller. The VWA5000W switches are factory delivered with 2 AAA batteries & are ready to be installed, configured & used right out of the box. The expected battery life is around 10 years which is more or less equivalent to the shelf life of the battery due to the extremely small current consumption of the switch themselves. No tools are required for commissioning or servicing. A very simple interface with an on-board LED & a hidden switch provide all the required functions for local interaction. Local information for battery life and connectivity ( heartbeat ) is provided also at the VTR73xx Series Fan Coil Terminal Equipment Controller local display level or through the ZigBee wireless network with a Viconics VWG-APP-1000 wireless communication card through Niagara AX™ software framework. Each switch is also factory supplied with a magnet, a locking security tamper proof screw and self tapping mounting screws for installation.

2Troubleshooting instructions Viconics Line Voltage FCU, wireless Door / Window switched association: 1. Set “Pan ID” = 1-499 (networked thermostat) or 501 and up (for stand-alone thermostats) 2. Set “Channel” parameter to: 25 (recommended) 3. Mac = 1 and up (unique per stat) 4. Set configuration parameter of “BI1” & “BI2” to “NONE”. 5. Reset the configuration of “BI1” to “Window” and/or “BI2” to “DoorDry” 6. (OPTIONAL) To reset the Wireless Switch to its factory default settings, simply jump the switch (use a metal ball pen) & hold for 20+ seconds. 7. (IMPORTANT NOTE) When you are able to view 5 fast blinks, this indicates that you have successfully set the parameters to their default settings. 8. Do the following to both Door & Window switches. Jump once: Scan mode active (Indicated by 2 slow blinks) 9. Hold close to the stat, on the side, where the stat com module is located. 10. You will get several flashes that correspond to your MAC address. (I.e. MAC=43) The Switch will illuminate 4 short blinks followed by another 3 short blinks. The switch or switch(es) is/are now associated. Demo Operation: 1. Using the keypad, call for heat or cool on the stat (Apply a minimal amount for testing purposes only). This will verify that the “Occ” set point is active. 2. Close both switches on the table. 3. If you open the window switch: The “Heat” or “cool” function (the one enabled) will shut down (disabled) when the window is opened. Also, if you close the window: “Heat” or “cool” function will resume. 4. If you close the door switch (the switch should already be closed at this point), cover the PIR with any object or colored adhesive tape. Open & Close the door switch once. Wait 10 seconds. (The stat will go in “stand-by” mode). You will see the “heat” or “cool” demand shut-off & you will have the “stand-by” prompt you on the display. 5. Uncover the PIR sensor. The stat will detect a movement (while the door is still closed). Stat will resume its function in “occupied” mode according to the “heat” or “cool” demand.
