Radio Signal Basics

• Wireless radio signals are electromagnetic waves.
• Signal becomes weaker the farther it travels.
• A wireless transmitter (Module) will send a signal to a receiver (Gateway).
• The Gateway translates the signal into usable information over MODBUS to the building controller (E2 or Site Supervisor) where algorithms will make discussions based on the information received.

Signal Ranges In Buildings

• Placement of a Module within a room is critical.
• Factors that determine the coverage:
• Distance between receiver and transmitters.
• Materials blocking the path of the signal.
• Shape of the room.
• Overlapping coverage area is preferred for robust reliability.

Mounting Locations

• Radio transmission shapes are ellipsoid.
• Even if within range, communication may be poor due to incorrect placement.
• Narrow rooms and low ceilings can affect range.
• Avoid Paths along the same wall.
• Reflections will produce interference and reduce range.
• Device should be placed away from wall corners.
• Signals are decreased by specific materials, people or objects in the path.
• Signals can penetrate walls but they are reduced more than if there was a direct line-of-sight.

• Wall penetration is affected by angle of path.
• Signal should be transmitted as directly as possible through the wall and may require the use of a repeater.
• Avoid dense metal obstacles, such as fire-safety walls, stair cases, elevators shafts.
• Avoid unfavorable obstacles by repositioning or using a repeater.

Installation

Installation Steps

1. Range planning.
2. Install gateway power and network cable.
3. Set up and commission Gateway in E2.
4. Set up and commission Modules in E2.
5. Adding the Gateway to E2.
6. Check signal reception.

Installation Tips

• Signal Range: 100-ft. radius.
• 99 Wireless Modules per Gateway.
• Recommended less than 200 Modules per 100-ft radius.
• There can be multiple Gateways used in a site with multiple E2s.
• Gateways can be configured as a repeater/gateway in larger coverage areas.
• Low cost Repeaters are available for applications not requiring additional gateways as shown in ordering information (Table 1-4).

Range Planning

1. Conduct a site survey to help determine the best location for access points and sensors. You will need the following:
   • Floor plan.
   • Drawing compass.
   • Architect’s scale, tape measure, or laser-distance measuring device.
2. Identify and mark areas that may block the radio signal:
   • Fire safety walls.
   • Staircases, elevators, and storage rooms.
3. Using the compass, circle the points for the Gateway that offers the best coverage:
   • Position Gateways so that there is a clear path to potential Module locations.
   • Plan in reserve range to avoid worst case conditions.
   • Use repeaters as necessary to have redundant coverage.

Mounting Location Tips

• Try to achieve a clear line-of-sight and avoid metal obstructions.
• Mount all Wireless Modules and Gateways as far away as possible from interference-producing devices such as motors, ballasts, transformers, and other electrical devices (20 inches minimum).
• Plan coverage to keep the distance between Modules and Gateways as short as possible to achieve sufficient reserve in coverage.
• Mount Wireless Modules and Gateway as high as possible.
• For maximum performance, mount the Gateway on the ceiling, parallel to the floor, in a location central to the Modules.
• For maximum performance, position the Module with Emerson logo pointing towards the Gateway.
• If possible, commission the Module from its mounting location to verify optimal positioning.
• Check signal strength on the E2 prior to mounting the Modules permanently.
• Mount the Module in a location where 200 lux of light is visible to the solar cell for five (5) or more hours per day.

Install Gateway Power and Network Cable

Installing Gateway Power

• The Emerson Wireless Gateway requires 24VAC power from a Class 2 Transformer.

Table 2-1 – Gateway Input Voltage and Power Specifications

• Because the Gateway is usually mounted away from the transformer, 18 AWG wire should be used.
• The AC voltage at the Gateway needs to be at least 19 Volts.

Installing Network Cable

• Each E2 that will receive a value from an Emerson Wireless Module must have an Emerson Wireless Gateway installed on its RS485 Network. For E2 controllers, the Emerson Wireless Gateway will be installed on a RS485 network running MODBUS.
• Using shielded three-conductor cable (Belden #8641 or equivalent), connect the RS485 I/O Network wire to the three-terminal connector on the Emerson Wireless Gateway as shown in Figure 2-2.
• Termination should only be done at the two end points of the network. Set termination as appropriate

Module Commissioning Tips

• The default update rate of two (2) minutes optimizes power consumption.
• Faster update rates may require an external 5V power supply (available as an option).
• Update rates must be done before going through the commissioning process.
• With proper range planning, all Modules can be commissioned to the Gateway with the Learn button prior to mounting.
• Use the Test button to get instant transmission if you don’t want to wait for the regular update rate.
• Check signal strength on the E2 prior to permanently mounting the Modules.
• Placement of the Modules should be positioned so that SSI reception levels are 3 or 4 Bars. Reposition or use repeaters as necessary.
• Place Modules so that the solar cell can power the Module and battery usage indicator remains off.
• It takes 200 lux for five (5) hours per day to run the Wireless Module on the solar cell continuously.
• Hours on battery is shown in the Module Summary screen. The battery will last for 17,100 hours of use.
• The battery is still within acceptable range if the voltage is 2.90 or higher.

Checking Signal Reception

1. Go to the RF Module main screen , 230. RF Module), select the module then press
2. From the Actions menu, select Application Logs/Graphs 8. Application Logs/Graphs).

GOOD| > = 95%
FAIR| ≥70% and < 95%
POOR| < 70%| NOTE: High probability that there will be alarms saying the Module is OPEN (no updates within
_ _the FAIL DELAY)_ ._

Table 3-1 – Telegram Reception Rate

SSI Signal Strength

SSI Signal Strength: The lower the negative number, the higher the signal strength

4 Bars| >= -75| VERY GOOD

At this level reception rates will most often result in > 98%

3 Bars| < -75 and >= -85| GOOD

Most of the time this will correspond to reception rates > 95%

2 Bars| <= -85 and >= -90| FAIR

Most likely reception rates will result in < 95%

1 Bar| <-90 and >= -95| POOR

Most likely reception rates will result in < 70% and cause OPEN Module alarms

0 Bars| < -95| FAIL

Most likely reception rates will result in < 50% and cause OPEN Module alarms

Table 3-2 – Signal Strengths

• The placement of the Modules should be positioned to achieve SSI levels in the 3 or 4 Bar range. During the first 100 updates, the last/min/avg/max for the last 100 telegrams are continuously updated even though 100 telegrams have not been received.
• This helps the installer get a quick understanding of the signal strength. In addition, the last/min/avg/max for the last 10 telegrams is also helpful during the install time to diagnose issues early.
• If you are near the level of the next Bar up, you will see reception rates very close to the next level up. For example, if a Module has a consistent -85 or -86 (2 Bar) you will probably see 3 Bar reception rates. Due to environmental shifts in temperature, humidity, other noise factors, and changes in reflection due to physical changes in the store can result in 5 to 10 dBm signal strength changes; therefore, it is not recommended to start at a 2 Bar level.

Hours on Battery

• The battery will last for at least 17,100 hours of use. With proper light levels for the solar cell, the battery should never get close to this number of hours. Even if the maximum number of hours have been used, check the actual battery voltage and if the reading is 2.90 or higher, the battery is still within the acceptable range. On average, the battery’s life expectancy is more than two years.

E2 Wireless Advanced Settings

Gateway Advanced Settings

Updating Gateway Configuration

• If the Gateway’s configuration becomes corrupted,
• E2 can send the general configuration to the Gateway. (This is also needed if the Gateway has to be replaced).

1. Go to the Wireless Gateway Main Screen , 229. Wireless Gateway).
2. Press 9. Application Commands from the Actions Menu.
3. Select 2. Send E2 Cfg to Device Similarly, E2 can read the configuration from a Gateway. This is the same basic sequence, but at the last step select 1. Send Device Cfg to E2.

Updating Gateway Firmware

If a firmware update is needed for the Gateway, send the appropriate package file from UltraSite to the E2.

1. Go to the Gateway main page 229. Wireless Gateway).
2. Press 9. Application Commands from the Actions Menu.
3. Select 11. Update device FW.

Module Advanced Settings

Replacing a Module

If a Module needs to be replaced, you must commission the new Module.

1. Go to the RF Module Summary page 230. RF Module).
2. Select the Module then press
3. Press 9. Applications Commands from the Actions Menu.
4. Select 2. Commission-Replace. This will inform the Gateway to remove the existing Module from its database before the start of commissioning (Learning) the replacement Module.

Updating a Module Configuration

• If the Module’s configuration becomes corrupted, E2 can send the sensor’s
• Module configuration to the Gateway without recommissioning the Module.

1. From the RF Module Summary page 230. RF Module).
2. Select the Module, then press
3. Press , 9. Application Commands from the Actions Menu.
4. Select 3. Send E2 Cfg to Device.

Note: This only sends the configuration to the Gateway. It will NOT be pushed to the Module itself.
This is only done during the commissioning process.

Appendix A – Troubleshooting

Installation

• Pointing the Wireless Sensor Outputs to Other Application Inputs.
• The temperature reading received can be pointed to other applications in the E2 as an input using the normal pointer method.
• Go to the Module details page.
• Select the sensor output.
• F4: Look up to select the area controller, application and input.
• Determining If the Wireless Module is Getting Enough Light, With No Need to Run on Battery Backup.
• A 200 Lux light level is needed for five (5) hours to fully charge the super cap. A fully charged super cap will run the sensor for at least 24 hours with a two (2) minute update rate without going on battery.
• On the module summary screen, if the Hours on Battery are greater than 0, the sensor has been running on the battery. This shows the number of hours the sensor has been running on battery:
• RF Module Screen Shows Hours on Battery
• Occasionally running on battery is not an issue and is why the backup battery is provided.
• A battery should last for two (2) years of continuous usage with two (2) minute updates.
• Using the hours on battery information, you can calculate approximately how long the battery will last.
• For example: If it looks like the sensor is using the battery about two (2) hours/day, two (2) years of battery life = 24 x 30 x 24 = 17280 hours of battery life. Two (2) hours per day yields 8640 days (8640/365 = 23.6 years), so using two (2) hrs/day will still yield > 10 years of battery life (no significant impact on normal battery life expectancy).

Sensor Signal Reception is Low – Need to Install a Repeater.

• If the Module is positioned over 100 feet from the Gateway, the signal will be too low to receive signals from the connected sensors. If the signal reception is 1 or 2 Bars when commissioning the Modules, a repeater is needed.

• The Repeater should be positioned in a clear line-of-sight between the Module and the Gateway to extend the range beyond the 100-ft radius.
• Repeater Positioned to Extend Radius
• The Repeater comes pre-configured as a 1 Hop repeater.
• The Repeater automatically links to the device and repeats the transmission once it is installed.
• Once installed, the SSI Signal Strength should improve to 3 or 4 Bars.
• SSI Signal Strength Reading Should Improve with the Repeater Installed

Changing or Updating the Module Settings.

• When changing the setup of a Wireless Module, such as changing the sensor update rate, recommissioning of the Module is necessary. If you are changing a sensor type, removing or adding a sensor, recommissioning is not needed, just an update of the settings. Example of changing the sensor update rate:
• Go to the Module Setup C1: General tab and change 30 Sec Update to Yes. Return to the Module Setup.
• From the Applications Commands Menu select Commission Device and press the Learn button on the Module.
• For the User Selectable Module (P/N 814-3600) you will then need to reconfigure the sensor inputs. Select the
• C2: Config tab in Module Setup and select the sensor type for each input.
• Changing 30 Sec Update on General Tab of Module Setup

Alarm

1. Turn Off Fail Alarm, Changing to a Notice.
   • The configurable alarms can be set to a Disabled, Failure, Alarm, or Notice with an accompanying priority setting that can be set from 0 to 99.
2. Operating Without Alarms, Using Less than 3 Inputs to Wireless Module.
   • E2 can be configured to turn off the unused inputs. This will keep those inputs from alarming unnecessarily.
   • Select the C3: System tab from the Module Setup Screen.
   • De-select the sensor inputs that are not in use by either clicking the checkmark (in UltraSite) or typing N (E2 Terminal Mode).
   • Removing the Inactive Inputs Using UltraSite
3. Tracking When the Module is Running On a Battery.
   • Removing the Inactive Inputs in E2 Terminal Mode

• In normal operations, the battery hours are clocked since the last time the solar cell was used. As soon as the solar cell starts powering the module, the hour clock will stop counting. When there is not enough light on the solar cell, the module will go back on battery and the hour clock will start counting again from where it previously left off, cumulatively counting the hours on the battery.
• Hours on Battery When Returning to Solar Cell Power
• Hours on Battery Resumes Counting Up Hours When Back on Battery Power

Communication

1. Determining How Many Hits the Sensor Has Had.
   • From the Actions menu, select Application Logs/Graphs, Module Status. The Module diagnostics screen shows telegram reception for how many telegrams have been received out of the last 100, 1000, 10000. (The diagnostic screen also shows signal strength).
2. Installing the Gateway Running I/O Net Protocol.
   • While the Gateway can be configured with I/O Net or MODBUS protocol, for E2 controllers or Site Supervisor it is recommended they communicate on an RS485 network running MOBDUS protocol. The default address for the Gateway is 247. If you would like to run I/O Net protocol, it is necessary to use a Hand-Held Terminal (HHT) (P/N 811-3110 or 814-3110) connected directly to the HHT jack on the Wireless Gateway to commission Modules and view the status of the system.
3. Running the Gateway On a Different Baud Rate and MODBUS Address.
   • The default baud rate in the Gateway is 38.4k. The Gateway can operate at 19.2k; however, firmware updates and commissioning may take longer. The Gateway can be configured using a USB drive.
   • On a blank USB drive, the COM port can be configured using Com1Cfg.txt file in the following format:
   • PROTOCOL:
   • BAUD: <9600:19200:38400>
   • PARITY:
   • ADDRESS: <1..247> (247 is default)
   • BOARDS: <1..16> (only needed if switching to I/O Net)
   • Example: Changing the baud rate and MODBUS address to 24:
