Step 2: Completing the Initial Construction Grouping
Once the device installation and electrical connections are confirmed, use the following steps to complete the initial construction grouping.
The construction grouping process pairs devices with the Wireless Area Controller, forms one large default control group for basic operation
during construction, and prepares devices for configuration from the WaveLinx Mobile Application.
1: On the site floorplan, locate the WaveLinx Wireless Area Controller and identify the WaveLinx devices that should be paired to it. Sites
designed to use multiple Wireless Area Controllers should identify the devices that belong to each controller so that they can be correctly
paired with the appropriate Wireless Area Controller according to the design plan.
2: Identify the circuit breakers supplying power to each of the WaveLinx devices that will be paired with the first Wireless Area Controller.
This includes circuits that power fixtures with WaveLinx Integrated Sensors, fixtures connected to WaveLinx Tilemount Sensors, fixtures with
Wireless Outdoor Lighting Control Modules, lighting connected to WaveLinx wireless Dimming Switchpacks as well as circuits connected to
WaveLinx Receptacles and Wallstations.

Operation of Devices within the Construction Grouping
• Once construction group pairing is complete, all paired devices will operate as one large area or room.
• Any wallstation in the group will operate all the paired lighting (standard ambient, industrial and outdoor integrated sensors,
tilemount sensors, wireless Dimming Switchpacks, and wireless outdoor lighting control modules) and receptacles per the default
scenes and programming.
• All occupancy sensors work together. Any occupancy sensor sensing motion will turn the entire group ON (default level) and will
keep loads ON until no occupancy is detected throughout the entire area. Once occupancy ceases, after 20 minutes, controlled loads
will turn OFF.
• Daylight dimming is disabled for all devices in the construction group. This includes interior and exterior devices.

Step 3: Connecting to the Mobile Application as the Administrator User
Once construction grouping is complete, the WaveLinx Mobile Application will be used to administer the system. This section describes how
an administrator user connects to the Wireless Area Controller from the WaveLinx Mobile Application.
The procedures in this section assume that the Wireless Area Controller is powered up, is still in its factory default state for network settings
and is not connected to the facility’s network. Refer to the site’s network administrator for access details if the default settings or network
configuration have been modified.
ote:N For security purposes, after the initial configuration is complete, change the default password. Users should set a complex password when changing
passwords. See “Modifying Existing User Accounts and Passwords” on page 105 for this procedure.
1: Download the latest version of the WaveLinx Mobile Application from Google Play™ or the App Store® and install it on a smartphone or
tablet. The WaveLinx Mobile Application is compatible with devices running iOS 11+ or Android™ 7+ operating systems.
2: If there is more than one Wireless Area Controller in the facility, go to the first Wireless Area Controller location. On the front plate of the
controller below the blue Eaton LED, locate the label with the MAC ID. Make note of the MAC ID shown.
