PC-502 Module Product Guide
Rev. 1.6 Date 3/17/2017 2
Overview and
General Concepts
The INNCOM PC-502 wall mounted module can be used to expand the range
of an RF network or to provide the protocol gateway from INNCOM S5bus to RF
protocol.
The PC-502 can be combined with the B485 (01-9489) to provide RS485 to
Deep Mesh RF protocol conversion. This application is ideal for INNCOM
Central Electronic Lock System (CELS) integrations and for applications where
signal conversion between an RS485 and RF networks are required for
backhauling guestroom data towards the network backbone.
In an in-room RF network, the PC502 provides S5bus to RF protocol
conversion, giving any INNCOM product participating in the INNCOM Integrated
Room Automation System (IRAS) an RF transceiver for control of wireless
products in the guestroom.
In the Deep Mesh 802.15.4 network, the PC-502 is designed to patch areas
within the network where signal strength is lost due to distance limitations or
interference. It also serves to create multiple pathways, increasing the
redundancy of the mesh communications to ensure maximum network
reliability.
Features
• Small wall mountable form
• 2.4Ghz IEEE 802.15.4 compliant RF transceiver
• Medium and long range variants available
• Industrial temperature ratings 0–65 degrees C
• FCC Part 15b listed

Specifications
Ranges are determined by performing an RF link quality test using e528
thermostats as the transmitter and the PC-502 as the receiver. The maximum
distance threshold is based on a 95% overall link quality. Outdoor ranges were
conducted in a low noise, free air environment. Indoor ranges are for
reference. Indoor ranges are affected by the ambient environmental noise floor
and building construction materials.
Network Typology
In an in-room application (Appendix 1, Figure 4), the PC-502.1 is providing
S5bus to RF protocol conversion, giving any INNCOM product participating in
the INNCOM Integrated Room Automation System (IRAS) an RF transceiver
for control of wireless products in the guestroom.
The PC-502 can function as a gateway in an RS485 network as well. Figure 5
in Appendix 1 shows a typical RS485 application.
The PC-502, in participation with the e528, may also provide the in-room to
Deep Mesh RF bridge where both wireless in-room and wireless backend
networking are required. The PC-502 can also patch areas within the Deep

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference,
and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class

designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and
on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the
following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which
the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible
for compliance could void the user's authority to operate this equipment.

Binding the Device
1. The PC-502.4G uses a “reverse binding” procedure to acquire network
information from the thermostat, meaning that the device will signal the
thermostat that it wants the information. Besides the information set in
the thermostat in the steps above, the PC502 requires a map of
network components, complete with unique address. This information is
typically carried in the I/O Map.
2. Place the thermostat in Service Parameter mode as above. Go to the Io
(I/O Map Teach) parameter and press the DISPLAY button (for
e528.4G) or OFF/AUTO (e529.RF) to view the value. Set the Io value to
the desired I/O Map number. Do NOT press the thermostat’s DISPLAY
or OFF/AUTO button. See I/O Map tables below.
3. For the e528.4G, press OFF/AUTO and the LCD will display bnd. For
the e529, do nothing.
4. Using a small point (e.g., the end of a straightened paper clip), press
the recessed Reset/Bind switch on the PC502 once.
5. The thermostat sends a bind offer to the PC-502. If accepted, the
thermostat will buzz loudly. The PC-502 will reset.
6. Test the PC-502 functionality.
