RadioRA 3 RR-PROC3 Wireless Processor

Product Overview

This wireless processor works with RadioRA 3 compatible wireless devices, including Sunnata dimmers/switches/keypads, Maestro dimmers/switches, seeTouch keypads, Pico controls, Radio Powr Savr sensors, RF dimmer and switch modules, plug-in dimmers and switches, and Triathlon and Sivoia QS wireless shades. Other products may also be compatible; see individual product spec sheets for details on system compatibility. This wireless processor must be powered by an IEEE 802.3af 2003 or 802.3at 2009 compliant LPS / SELV PoE or PoE+ power supply.

Tools You May Need

Step 1 — Choose a Location to Install
The reliability of Clear Connect wireless communication requires that the wireless processor be centrally-located and within a maximum distance of the specific wireless devices
in the system. Wireless processors must be mounted 5 ft (1.5 m) away from wireless interference sources like microwaves, Wireless Access Points (WAPs), etc. PoE wiring must be kept internal to the building. Do not run PoE wiring outdoors or install the processor in metallic enclosures.

Distances for Wireless Devices
seeTouch keypads, Maestro dimmers, Pico wireless controls, Sivoia QS wireless shades, etc. (Clear Connect – Type A)

  •  Each device must be within 30 ft (9 m) of a repeater or wireless processor.
  •  Repeaters can be spanned up to 60 ft (18 m) apart from other repeaters to create the network.
  • Sunita dimmers, switches, keypads, etc. (Clear Connect – Type X)
  •  All devices associated with the wireless processor must be within a 75 ft (23 m) radius of the processor.
  •  There must be a minimum of two devices within 25 ft (7.6 m) of the wireless processor.
  •  Each Clear Connect – Type X device should have two or more non-battery powered Type X devices within 25 ft (7.6 m) of another compatible Clear Connect – Type X device. Using more than two devices is ideal for creating an ultra-high-performance mesh network.

Step 2 — Select the Mounting Adapter for your Installation
Depending on which package you have, each wireless processor comes with various mounting adapters.

Step 3 — Provide an Opening for the Adapter Plug in the Ethernet cable and attach the processor to the PoE-enabled network switch or PoE injector

**Step 4c — Installation using the Shelf-Mount

Adapter
**

  •  Hold the adapter to the wall in the desired location
  •  Using a pencil, mark the location of the screw holes
  •  If using drywall, prep for anchors
  •  Partially drive two (2) screws at least 1/4 in (6.3 mm) into the wall or the drywall anchors
  •  Feed the right-angle connector of the 6 ft (1.8 m) Ethernet cable through the adapter BEFORE tightening the screws
  •  Tighten screws
  •  Select and attach the appropriate region-specific adapter plug to the PoE injector
  •  Plug in the PoE injector
  •  Attach the processor to the adapter

Step 5 — System Setup

LED Diagnostics
Processor

Mode / Error LED Pattern Description
Normal Operation Status LED blinks green every 10 seconds
Software Update Status LED blinks blue
Error Status LED remains solid red
Processor Identify Status LED blinks green rapidly

PoE Injector

Mode / Error LED Pattern Description
Unit is “ON” Active with No Load Status LED blinks green
Unit has detected an Invalid Load Status LED blinks yellow and green
Unit has detected a Valid IEEE 802.3af Load Status LED remains solid green
Unit is in Over Load/Short Condition Status LED blinks yellow

Troubleshooting

Symptom Probable Cause
Unit does not power on A PoE switch is not being used or is not configured as

a PoE switch
The other end of the Ethernet cable is not connected to a PoE switch or injector
Ensure the IN/OUT connections on the PoE Injector are correct (refer to Step 4C)
Unit cannot be found in setup software| The Ethernet cable is not connected to the same LAN as the setup software
Ethernet run is longer than the supported 328 ft (100 m) and a PoE extender is needed
Ensure the IN/OUT connections on the PoE Injector are correct (refer to Step 4C)
Unit does not control the surrounding lights| Lights are out of range of the wireless processor
The processor lost power / Ethernet wire run too long and PoE booster is required
