INTRODUCTION

The model 17200 Remote Control Node (RCN) is a wireless radio control platform with embedded HVAC control logic and Direct Digital Control (DDC) capability. A wireless thermostat or room temperature sensor can be linked to one or more 17200 RCN’s for precision temperature control of a variety of HVAC systems. Powered by EnerNetWorks™ meshing protocol, the 17200 establishes mesh network connectivity between RCN’s forming a building-wide radio network. A gateway located anywhere in the building network cloud can support 400 ­ 500 RCN’s and provides an interface between the mesh network and building automation system. The model 17200 RCN radio mesh network can in addition be used as a Transparent Message Transport (TMT) of complete EnOcean radio protocol messages.

The model 17200 can be factory programmed to operate in Legacy or direct EnOcean support mode. Legacy mode means the radio is configured for backwards compatibility with original ENERNET wireless systems radio frequency, modulation and data protocol. This manual covers 17200 operation and HVAC control configuration regardless of whether it operates in Legacy or direct EnOcean support mode. When operating in EnOcean support mode the manual covers Learn-In of various EnOcean protocol devices directly to the 17200. When combined with an ENERNET model 15700 EnOcean support accessory PCB, EnOcean devices can still be used with the 17200 configured for Legacy mode operation.

HVAC APPLICATION OVERVIEW

The model 17200 can be field configured for a variety of wireless HVAC applications. Combined with a wireless thermostat such as the ENERNET model 12400H, 12400S or model 17400 thermostat, or a Thermokon SR06 or other supported EnOcean sensor, the model 17200 provides the control logic necessary to run split a/c systems, heat pumps, fan coil units, packaged terminal heating/cooling equipment and others. The 17200 can support three fan speeds, auxiliary heat, compressor and reversing valve. In addition to a room sensor, EnOcean motion sensors and door switch can be learned into a 17200 or a model 15700 when using legacy mode creating smart occupied/unoccupied setback.

MODEL 17200 MOUNTING GUIDANCE

The model 17200 is an open PCB (Figure 1). It should be mounted in a clean, dry location that also provides physical protection and minimizes thermostat connection wire length between the HVAC equipment and the model 17200 PCB. Pick a location where the PCB will be safe from mechanical damage, excessive heat or cold and risk of condensate.

Brass stand-offs at the four corners of the model 17200 PCB are sized for a # 6 screw or bolt to secure the PCB to a flat surface. Alternatively, Eagle Plastic Devices adhesive backed locking PCB support posts (561-LAD187 or 561-LAD250) can be used. While the locking tabs on these posts will be captured inside of the stand-off and will not actually lock onto the 17200, they provide a very snug interference fit. As long as the surface the posts adhere to is clean, dry, smooth and flat, these posts work well and can in particular speed field mounting. Posts are available from a number of sources such as Mouser Electronics 1-800-346-6873 www.mouser.com.

MODEL 17200 POWER

The model 17200 is designed for 24vac low-voltage thermostat potential. Typically HVAC equipment provides 24vac for thermostats and is used to power the 17200. If the application requires independent power, use a UL/CSA Listed Class-II, 20VA, 24vac transformer connected to the R and C terminals.

ANTENNA POSITIONING

The standard antenna option is a 1-meter long RG174/U coaxial cable. The outer shield is stripped away from the last 3″ of the cable leaving only the center conductor, which is the antenna. This allows antenna placement flexibility. Refer to Figure 2 and Coaxial Antenna Application Note.

NOTES :

1. D5 ON indicates a 3 minute short-cycle delay period active.
2. Use form A dry contact closure when input terminals 1 and 2 are used.
3. Input 1 contact closure status reported to network only. No operational logic changed.
4. Input 2 status reported to network. All outputs de-energized upon contact closure.
5. D3 (PB2 lamp) quick flash in normal operation indicates 17200 entered an unoccupied state.
6. Output 1 — 6 switches 24vac (R terminal potential) @ 2.0 amps max each.
7. This device should be powered with a Class 2, U.L. listed transformer.
8. Wiring should conform to all national and local electrical codes.

COAXIAL ANTENNA APPLICATION NOTE

The model 17200 Remote Control Node standard antenna option is a 1-meter long flexible coaxial cable. One end is connected at the circuit board. Approximately 3″ of the outside jacket and shield are striped back at the free end — this is the actual antenna. The coaxial antenna option allows the installer to mount the circuit board where most appropriate and secure, while positioning the antenna in the most optimum position possible. Sheet metal, control boxes, ductwork, pipes and other electrical wires can interfere with RF signals to and from the 17200. For best performance, installers should location the antenna away from such shielding material to the extent possible. In packaged HVAC equipment, the antenna is often located in front of the indoor coil, between the coil and the front cover if the cover is plastic or near the makeup air opening at the bottom of the unit if it is metal. As is the case with any RF system, antenna placement and orientation is important. Antenna orientation is important to network performance. For best performance, orient all model 17200 antennas in a horizontal plane.

MODEL 17200 RCN CONFIGURATION SETUP

Three (3) buttons and four (4) LED indicator lights are used to configure HVAC control logic and occupancy system options and EnOcean devices Learn-In. 17200 RCN configuration setup is fully self-contained, no other equipment is required. PB3 (see figure 1) is used to enter into HVAC logic configuration mode.

Referring to Figure 3 below, there are two sets of RED and GREEN LED indicator lamps directly above the PB 1 & 2 buttons. The first set of indicators, D4 and D3 are used for HVAC Logic configuration. The next set, D21 and D22 are used for EnOcean related functions.

HVAC LOGIC CONFIGURATION

1. If any device is wired to J1 terminals, pull the terminal block off.
2. Press and hold PB3 until LED indicator lamps D4 & D3, located directly above PB 1 & PB2 flash alternately.
3. D4 flash count indicates Table number. D3 flash count indicates the option selection in that table. (NOTE: D4 and D3 will flash repeatedly to indicate the Table and Option.) PB1 advances Table number. PB2 advances the Option selection in that table.
4. Refer to Tables 1-9 below. Move to each table you want to adjust and select the desired option in those tables.

NOTE : At any time during the configuration process PB3 can be pressed to leave the configuration tables and return to normal operation. Press and release PB3 do not hold. At this time the node is running in the configuration last indicated in each table by D4 and D3. Changes are saved in non-volatile memory.

UNOCCUPIED SETBACK:

Any EnOcean EEP A5-07-01 compliant Occupancy/Motion sensor can be learned into the model 17200 RCN (See Model 17200 EnOcean Devices Learn-In Table ­ Motion/Occupancy Sensor). When only an occupancy/motion sensor is used (no door switch), the 17200 will wait the delay time set in Table 5 after the sensor reports the UNOCCUPIED state. Keep in mind that the motion sensor you’re using may have its own delays before reporting unoccupied (no motion after “X” time). The delay time set in Table 5 is added to that time.

An EEP D5-00-01 compliant door switch can be learned into the model 17200 (See Model 17200 EnOcean Devices Learn-In Table ­ Door Switch with Occupancy Sensor). When a door switch is learned-in with an occupancy/motion sensor the 17200 does not use the Table 5 delay and executes the following logic:

1. DOOR SW open/closed + MOTION within 5-minutes = OCCUPIED (no action).
2. DOOR SW open/closed + NO MOTION within 5-minutes = UNOCCUPIED (setback as configured in Table 4).
3. MOTION detected after UNOCCUPIED state declared = OCCUPIED (release setback).
4. DOOR SW in door open state for over 5-minutes = HVAC SYSTEM SHUTDOWN (release on door closed). NO MOTION within 5-minutes = UNOCCUPIED (setback as configured in Table 4).

IMPORTANT NOTES:

1. The model 17200 control node factory defaults to fan speed 1. If your application requires 2 or 3 fan speeds, be sure to select the number needed as described in Fan Speed Configuration Table 3 above. Otherwise, the system will only energize G1 on call for fan regardless of the user manually selecting a higher continuous fan speed. Fan speed-hunting will not cause the G2 or G3 fan relays to energize if the 17200 Table 3 is not configured to support them.

2.) When an unoccupied state is declared (based on 17200 Configuration), D3 (first LED above the PB2 button) will flash once a second to indicate the node has dropped into unoccupied status.

3.) When an EEP D5-00-01 switch is learned into the 17200 RCN (See Model 17200 EnOcean Devices Learn-In Table ­ Emergency Shutdown Switch ), the model 17200 will SHUTDOWN all HVAC control with all outputs going to the OFF state when the switch reports an OPEN state. Normal HVAC operation will resume when the switch returns to CLOSED status.

ENOCEAN DEVICES

The model 17200 RCN can be used with an ENERNET model 17400 thermostat or select EnOcean thermostats and room temperature sensors. The following section deals with the learn-in process of specified EnOcean devices using the Thermokon SR06/ENERNET 17400-SR06 HVAC room operating sensor.

NOTE: EnOcean devices have a “Learn” button. Learn buttons are typically accessed through a small hole on the side or back of the device (see Figure 5). Learning EnOcean devices in and out of the model 17200 RCN is accomplished using buttons and LED indicators on the 17200 PCB and then pressing the Learn button on the EnOcean device.

Row 1-4 of the Learn-In table, (called a page) sets up the 17200 to Learn-in or out an EnOcean device. Row/Page 5 enables Layer 1 repeating. Row 6, Restore Factory Default.

ENOCEAN DEVICE LEARN-IN CONFIGURATION

1. If any device is wired to J1 terminals, pull the terminal block off.
2. Press and hold PB2 until D21 & D22 begin flashing (see Figure 3).
3. D21 flash count indicates the Page number. D22 flash count indicates the option selection in that Page. (NOTE: D21 and D22 will flash repeatedly to indicate the Page and Option.) PB1 advances Page number, PB2 advances the Option selection in that Page.
4. Refer to Model 17200 ENOCEAN DEVICES LEARN-IN TABLE. Move to desired page and select an option in that page.
5. To Link an EnOcean device, select the appropriate page and option. Ensure Page and Option choice is correct by observing D21 & D22 flash counts then press and release the Learn button on the device. Following a successful learn-in or learn-out, D21 & D22 will light for a few seconds and automatically exit the learn-in table.

NOTE:

• The Model 17200 control currently accepts EEP Types A5-02-05, A5-10-03, A5-10-04 and Thermokon SR06 using A5-10-04 with the extension in DB0.0 and DB0.1 RORG-Byte: MSC (0xD1) | OFF, HEAT, COOL, AUTO mode.

D21 & D22 will flash repeatedly until action is taken. When a device is learned in or out, D21 & D22 will both light for a few seconds followed by automatically leaving the Learn-In table.

At any time during the configuration process PB3 can be pressed to leave the configuration table and return to normal operation. Press and release PB3 do not hold.

Refer to Pub No. 15701-111722 when using the 17200 in Legacy mode with EnOcean devices.

GUIDELINES FOR DEVICES WITH SOLAR ENERGY STORAGE

Any SR06 model including the ENERNET 17400-SR06 (thermostat) can work without batteries, self-charging by integrated photovoltaic (PV) cells.

For optimal self-charging, mount the thermostat in a location with good ambient lighting. Minimum illumination of 200 lux (artificial or natural ambient light) is required for at least 8 hours each day to ensure sufficient charge time. As a point of reference, 200 lux is sufficient for day-to-day activity in the home. Office spaces will typically be closer to 400 lux.

The solar cell should be mounted facing towards the window direction if possible. Direct sun light should be avoided to minimize temperature reading errors.
The ENERNET 17400-SR06 is supplied in an operational state. If it has been stored in darkness for long periods of time, internal energy storage could be discharged. If the out-of-the-box initial charge is not sufficient to operate, the thermostat will need time under sufficient illumination to start to operate. Alternatively, a CR1632 battery can be installed to immediately power the thermostat.

Depending on average ambient light conditions, the battery back-up option may be required. Operating time with battery will vary, however typical operating time should be several years. The thermostat will automatically switch to PV cells whenever enough power can be derived from ambient light conditions, further extending battery life.

LOCATING THERMOSTAT

For best results, the thermostat should be located approximately five feet above the floor on an inside wall in an area with good air circulation. Avoid drafts from air ducts and windows and heat from sun light, lighting fixtures, appliances, fireplaces, etc.

MOUNTING ADVICES

1. Attach base plate with screws or double-sided adhesive tape.
2. Place frame/bezel onto the base plate.
3. Finally, press thermostat into the frame center.

LINKING THERMOSTAT AND 17200

Upon delivery, the thermostat might be in default shipping mode and unresponsive to button presses. In this case, use a paper clip or equivalent to press and release the learn button, which is accessed through the hole marked `L’ on back of thermostat.

Refer to Model 17200 EnOcean Devices Learn­In Table on Page 9 for all sensor types supported. To learn-in the 17400B-SR06 or other SR06 model:

1. Press & hold PB2 on 17200 PCB until D21 & D22 begin flashing (see Figure 3).

2. D21 flash count = Page number. D22 flash count = option selection in that Page. PB1 advances Page number. PB2 advances the Option selection in that Page.

3. Set to Page 1, Option 1:
   D21 = 1 flash
   D22 = 1 flash

4. Short button press (<1 sec) of the “learn button” on the back side of the thermostat, see Figure 5. (Short press, don’t hold the learn button.)

SR06 Configuration : Most users will not need to adjust. Consult ENERNET and Thermokon AirConfig literature.
