NOTES
WARNING
Logic
CAUTIONS
xYou cannot have =6 sensors on the same Rnet with any of the above devices.
xAn Rnet can have more than one wireless Pro-F sensor, however, changing the setpoint on one Pro-F will not
be reflected on the display of another Pro or Pro-F, possibly causing confusion for the user.
Rnet configuration
You can use wireless sensors, ZS sensors, and an Equipment Touch on the same Rnet. The number of sensors
you can use on a controller's Rnet depends on how many control programs it can have. If the controller supports:
xOnly one control program, the Rnet can consist of:
xUp to 5 ZS sensors
xOne Wireless Adapter supporting up to 5 wireless sensors
xOne Equipment Touch
NOTE
You can have any combination of ZS and wireless sensors, but no more than 5 sensors total.
xMultiple control programs, the Rnet can consist of:
xUp to 15 ZS sensors
xOne Wireless Adapter supporting up to 15 wireless sensors
xOne Equipment Touch
NOTES
xYou can have any combination of ZS and wireless sensors, but no more than 15 sensors total.
xYou can have no more than 5 sensors per control program.

CO2 sensor installation
IMPORTANT
Do not install ZS CO2sensors in continuous occupancy applications. For a ZS CO2sensor to
maintain accuracy, it must be installed only in a zone that is unoccupied for at least 4 hours a day with enough air
movement during the unoccupied period to return CO2to background levels.
A ZS sensor with CO2uses Automatic Background Calibration which waits for the lowest value in a 24-hour period
that deviates no more than 40PPM for at least 15 minutes, and assigns that value to the 400PPM baseline. This
daily Automatic Background Calibration may take up to 21 days to fully calibrate the sensor.
NOTE
Dropping a sensor can upset the calibration, and it may require 21 days to return to our stated accuracy.
Motion sensor installation
The motion sensor on a ZS Pro needs to have a direct line of sight to the occupants in the room.
If the size of the room exceeds the maximum detector range, use multiple sensors to adequately monitor the area.
Avoid placing the sensor:
xIn a location that has a direct line of sight through an open door to a hallway where the sensor could detect
movement of people in the hallway.
xNear air ducts. Rapidly changing air currents from the air ducts could lead to false sensor readings.
To address a ZS zone sensor
Each ZS Sensor on an Rnet must have a unique address, but addresses do not have to be sequential.
Use the DIP switches on the back of the ZS zone sensor to set an address from 0 to 14. (0 is factory default.) Each
DIP switch has the value shown in the figure below. Turn on as many DIP switches as you need so that their total
value equals the address.
DIP
Switch
value
1
ON
2
4
8
1234
EXAMPLE
DIP switches 1 and 4 above
are on. Their values (1 + 8) total 9, so
the sensor's address is 9.

To wire and mount a ZS zone sensor
The Rnet communicates at a rate of 115 kbps and should be wired in a daisy-chain, star, or hybrid configuration.
PREREQUISITE
The Rnet cable is wired to the controller. The shield wire and the ground wire should be inserted
into the controller's GND terminal.
1 Turn off the controller's power.
2 Using a hex screwdriver, turn the setscrew clockwise until it stops turning.
3 Pull out the bottom of the backplate, and then pull off the backplate.
4 Pull the Rnet communication cable through the wire guide in the backplate.
3.30 in.
(8.38 cm)
5 Use 2 screws to mount the backplate to the wall or outlet box.
Partially cut, then bend and pull off the outer jacket of the Rnet cable(s). Do not nick the inner insulation.

6 Strip about .25 inch (.6 cm) of the inner insulation from each wire.
7 If wiring 1 cable to the ZS Sensor, cut the shield wire off at the outer jacket, then wrap the cable with tape at
the outer jacket to cover the end of the shield wire.
If wiring 2 cables in a daisy-chain configuration, twist together the shield wires, then wrap the shield wires
with tape.

8 Insert the other 4 wires into the ZS Sensor's screw terminal connector. If wiring 2 cables, insert like-colored
wires into each terminal.

following Rnet wiring scheme:

CAUTION
Allow no more than 0.06 inch (1.5 mm) bare communication wire to protrude. If bare
communication wire contacts the cable's foil shield, shield wire, or a metal surface other than the terminal
block, the device may not communicate correctly.
9 Attach the sensor's cover and circuit board to the mounted backplate, inserting the top first.
10 Turn the setscrew counterclockwise until the cover cannot be removed.
11 Turn on the controller's power.
NOTE
Use the same polarity throughout the Rnet.
To communicate through a ZS zone sensor's local access port
You can connect to the Local Access port of a ZS zone sensor to perform test and balance or to make changes to
any device on the network.

Formatting a sensor clears its flash memory. Do either of the following to format a sensor:
xDownload the controller that the sensor is connected to.
xDo the following:
a)Remove the wiring connector from the sensor.
b)Note the current position of the DIP switches.
c)Set all DIP switches to the ON position.
d)Reattach the wiring connector to format.
e)After approximately 3 seconds, remove the wiring connector.
f)Set the DIP switches back to their original position.
g)Reattach the wiring connector.
NOTE
If you move a sensor from one controller to another controller that has a different control program, format
the sensor.
