ZFR1810 Wireless Field Bus Coordinator Installation Instructions 1
Application
A ZFR1810 Wireless Field Bus Coordinator provides a
wireless interface between field controllers equipped
with a ZFR1811 Router and a Network Automation
Engine (NAE) 35/45/55 or Network Control Engine
(NCE) 25 supervisory controller. Each wireless mesh
network requires one ZFR1810 Coordinator, which
initiates the formation of the network.
A ZFR1810 Coordinator can operate from either of two
power sources:
• a 24 VAC, Class 2 power source when used with
an NAE55 supervisory controller
• 15 VDC power provided from the FC Bus Jack on
most Field Equipment or Supervisory Controllers
that are connected directly to the FC Bus
The ZFR1810 Coordinator features a remote-mount
antenna and cable to allow transmission when the
ZFR1810 Coordinator is mounted inside a metal panel.
Refer to the ZFR1800 Series Wireless Field Bus
System Technical Bulletin (LIT-12011295) or the
ZFR1800 Series Wireless Field Bus System Quick
Reference Guide (LIT-12011630) for information on
commissioning and configuring a ZFR1800 Series
Wireless Field Bus System for operation.
IMPORTANT: Use the ZFR1810 Wireless Field
Bus Coordinator only to provide an input to
equipment under normal operating conditions.
Where failure or malfunction of the ZFR1810
Coordinator could lead to personal injury or property
damage to the controlled equipment or other
property, additional precautions must be designed
into the control system. Incorporate and maintain
other devices, such as supervisory or alarm systems
or safety or limit controls, intended to warn of or
protect against failure or malfunction of the
ZFR1810 Coordinator.
IMPORTANT: The ZFR1800 Series Wireless Field
Bus System is not designed or intended for use in
mission-critical or life/safety applications.

Mounting
Location Considerations
Follow these guidelines when locating a ZFR1810
Coordinator within a ZFR1800 Series system.
• Locate the ZFR1810 Coordinator so that it is easily
accessible.
• For best signal transmission, vertically orient the
ZFR1810 Coordinator’s antenna with at least
50 mm (2 in.) exposed below (and clear of) any
pipes, duct work, or other metal obstructions. Do
not mount the antenna in a horizontal orientation.
• Due to the nature of the radio frequency waves, a
wireless device may have significantly different
signal strengths if its position changes relative to
another wireless device or if its environment
changes. If a ZFR1810 Coordinator shows poor
signal strength, you can improve the signal
strength by moving the device’s antenna a couple
of inches in either horizontal direction.
• Locate the ZFR1810 Coordinator’s antenna in
line-of-sight with as many ZFR1811 Routers as
possible.
• Do not mount the ZFR1810 Coordinator’s antenna
in recessed areas, metal enclosures, or shelving
units.
Follow these additional guidelines when installing a
ZFR1810 Coordinator:
• Locate the ZFR1810 Coordinator near the center
of the associated array of ZFR1811 Routers.
• At a minimum, position a ZFR1810 Coordinator
within 15.2 m (50 ft) of at least two
ZFR1811 Routers.
• At a minimum, position all ZFR1811 Routers within
15.2 m (50 ft) of at least two other ZFR1811
Routers or one ZFR1811 Router and the ZFR1810
Coordinator.
• Locate the ZFR1810 Coordinator on the same floor
as the associated ZFR1811 Router and
WRZ Series Sensors.
• Test the transmission signal strength between the
ZFR1810 Coordinator and the associated
ZFR1811 Router and WRZ Series Sensors to
ensure a reliable mesh network is in place. For
more information, see the ZFR1800 Series
Wireless Field Bus System Technical Bulletin
(LIT-12011295).
• Avoid metal obstructions and concrete or brick
walls between the ZFR1810 Coordinator and the
associated ZFR1811 Router and WRZ Series
Sensors.
• Avoid configurations where a microwave oven is
located between two wireless devices. At a
minimum, ensure no microwave ovens are within
6 m (20 ft) of a ZFR1810 Coordinator.
Note: For detailed information on location guidelines
for a ZFR1800 Series system, and for estimating the
number of ZFR1811 Routers needed as repeaters for
extending wireless transmission range, refer to the
ZFR1800 Series Wireless Field Bus System Technical
Bulletin (LIT-12011295).

Wireless Signal Transmission Considerations
Line-of-sight transmission ranges between a
ZFR1810 Coordinator, ZFR1811 Router, and/or a
WRZ Series Sensor can be less than the maximum
distances shown in Table 1. The effective transmission
range for indoor applications varies because of
wireless signal absorption and reflection due to metal
obstructions, walls (or floors), and furniture found in
typical building interiors. The effective transmission
range for outdoor applications varies based on
environmental conditions.
Mounting the Base
The ZFR1810 Coordinator can be surface mounted
using the four No. 6 Trade Size self-tapping, pan-head
screws supplied.
To mount the ZFR1810 Coordinator base with screws:
1. Remove the ZFR1810 Coordinator from the
mounting base (Figure 2).
2. Use the mounting base as a template, and place
the mounting base against the mounting surface.
3. Drill pilot holes at the marked locations and secure
the mounting base to the surface with the four No.
6 Trade Size screws supplied.
4. Mount the antenna and connect the antenna cable
to the ZFR1810 Coordinator. See Assembling the
Antenna.
5. Reinstall the ZFR1810 Coordinator housing to the
mounted base.
Assembling the Antenna
If mounting the ZFR810 Coordinator in a control panel,
choose a location on the top side of the control panel
for placement of the antenna. Ensure that the selected
location has line-of-sight to two or more ZFR1811
Routers.
Use Figure 3 and the following steps to assemble the
remote-mount antenna:
1. Remove the knock-out tab on the enclosure/panel
box or drill a 7/8 in. diameter hole in the desired
location on the top of the enclosure.

ZFR1810 Wireless Field Bus Coordinator Installation Instructions6
Wiring
Wiring Considerations and Guidelines
Follow these guidelines when wiring a
ZFR1810 Coordinator:
• Route the wires at least 50 mm (2 in.) away from
the vent slots on the sides of the
ZFR1810 Coordinator housing.
• Provide slack in the wires. Keep wires routed
neatly around the ZFR1810 Coordinator to
promote good ventilation, Light-Emitting Diode
(LED) visibility, and ease of service.
Power Input and Communication
Wiring for power input and communication uses one of
two methods: terminal blocks or the FC Bus jack.
Terminal Blocks - Power
Use a 24 VAC nominal, 50/60 Hz, Class 2 power
supply to power the ZFR1810 Coordinator. See Table 4
for recommended Johnson Controls® transformers.
Connect the 24 VAC supply power wires from the
transformer to the HOT and COM terminals of the
24 V~ three-position screw terminal pluggable block as
shown in Figure 4 and Figure 1. The middle terminal is
not used.
Note: Transformers not manufactured by
Johnson Controls may have different color wires.
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions when mounting
and wiring transformers.
Terminal Blocks - Communication
Connect the communication wires from the NAE or
NCE to the four-position screw terminal pluggable
block, as shown in Figure 5 and Figure 1.
FC Bus Jack - Power and Communication
Use a six conductor SA Bus RS-485 cable with
RJ12 connectors to connect the ZFR1810 Coordinator
to the FC Bus connector (FC/SA BUS IN) on the NAE
or NCE supervisory engine. This connection provides
both power and communication to the ZFR1810
Coordinator.
IMPORTANT: Do not connect supply power to the
ZFR1810 Coordinator before finishing wiring and
checking all wiring connections. Short circuits or
improperly connected wires may result in permanent
damage to the ZFR1810 Coordinator.
IMPORTANT: Use copper conductors only. Make
all wiring in accordance with local, national, and
regional regulations. The ZFR1810 Coordinator is a
low-voltage (less than 30 VAC) device. Do not
exceed the ZFR1810 Coordinator’s electrical
ratings.
IMPORTANT: Prevent any static electric discharge
to the ZFR1810 Coordinator. Static electric
discharge can damage the ZFR1810 Coordinator
and void any warranties.
IMPORTANT: Do not connect the ZFR1810
Coordinator to the power supply before setting the
PAN OFFSET switches.

Power Supply Output
Use a six-conductor SA Bus RS-485 cable with
RJ45 connectors to connect an external Metasys®
device to the FC BUS OUT jack as shown in Figure 1.
Setup and Adjustments
PAN Offset
Set the PAN Offset value of the ZFR1810 Coordinator
using the Dual Inline Package (DIP) switches to
configure the ZFR1810 Coordinator to communicate
with the ZFR1811 Routers assigned to it. See Figure 1
and Figure 6.
The PAN Offset value equals the sum of the numbers
set to ON. For example, if the DIP switches labelled
1, 4, and 8 are set to ON, the PAN Offset value is 13
(1 + 4 + 8 = 13).
When selecting a PAN Offset value for a wireless
system:
• Use a unique PAN Offset value for each wireless
mesh network at a job site.
• Use the same PAN Offset value for each wireless
device in a wireless mesh network - the
ZFR1810 Coordinator and each associated
ZFR1811 Router and WRZ Series Sensor.
PAN Offset and MS/TP Address Interaction
At Release 4.1 and later, the MS/TP address of the
ZFR1810 Coordinator is no longer fixed at 2. The new
address is 120 plus the sum of the first three values
of the PAN Offset that are set to the ON position, giving
an MS/TP address range of 120 to 127.
IMPORTANT: Do not exceed the power supply
output of the ZFR1810 Coordinator. The ZFR1810
Coordinator’s power supply input must be able to
source the ZFR1810 Coordinator and the connected
external devices. Exceeding the power supply input
limits may cause the ZFR1810 Coordinator to shut
down.
IMPORTANT: Ensure that the PAN Offset switches
are set to the same value for the
ZFR1810 Coordinator and each associated
ZFR1811 Router, and WRZ Series Sensor in a mesh
network.
IMPORTANT: To avoid MS/TP address conflicts,
do not connect the ZFR1810 Coordinator to the
power supply before setting the PAN Offset
switches.
Figure 6: Setting the DIP Switches

ZFR1810 Wireless Field Bus Coordinator Installation Instructions8
Note: Only the values associated with the first three
switches (right to left) set to the ON position count
towards the MS/TP address of the ZFR1810
Coordinator. See the top of Figure 6.
Note: On some date code labels, the switch position
numbers on the bottom of the dip switch are reversed.
In either case, the switch positions are always read
right to left.
In Figure 6, the PAN Offset of the ZFR1810
Coordinator is configured by adding the values
associated with the first seven switch positions (right to
left). The eighth switch position is not used. In Figure 6
the PAN Offset is configured to 13 (values 1, 4, and 8)
to the ON position. In Figure 6, the MS/TP address of
the ZFR1810 Coordinator is configured by adding the
values associated with the first three switch positions
(right to left).The sum of the values is 5, so the MS/TP
address of the ZFR1810 Coordinator is 120 + 5, which
equals 125.
Setting the FC Bus End-of-Line (EOL) Switch
The FC Bus End-of-Line termination switch allows you
to designate the ZFR1810 Coordinator as the end of
the FC Bus. The default position is OFF. If the
ZFR1810 Coordinator is at the end of a daisy chain of
devices on the FC Bus, set the EOL switch to the ON
position. See Figure 1 and Figure 7.
Troubleshooting
Wireless Signal Strength
A wireless signal strength indication LED displays the
reception strength of the transmissions between the
ZFR1810 Coordinators, ZFR1811 Routers, and the
WRZ Series Sensors. This LED helps determine the
network connectivity status when selecting locations for
the devices during system installation.
Approximately once every 10 seconds, the Signal
Strength LED flashes to indicate the reception strength
of the signal from neighboring devices. See Table 3
and Figure 1.
Refer to the ZFR1800 Series Wireless Field Bus
System Technical Bulletin (LIT-12011295) for more
information on determining the signal strength between
ZFR1800 Series devices in your application.
WRZ-SST-120 Wireless Sensing System Tool
Use the WRZ-SST-120 Wireless Sensing System Tool
with a WRZ Series Sensor as a site survey tool to
determine the wireless signal strength between a
ZFR1810 Coordinator and a ZFR1811 Router or
between two ZFR1811 Routers. Refer to the
WRZ-SST-120 Wireless Sensing System Tool
Installation Instructions (Part No. 24-10563-12) for
more information on testing signal strength in your
application.
Network Optimize/Reform Button
The Network Optimize/Reform Button allows the
ZFR1810 Coordinator to use any of three functions:
• Signal Strength
• Network Optimize
• Network Reform
Use the Signal Strength mode to aid in signal strength
testing. Signal Strength mode causes the LEDs on the
ZFR1811 routers to turn on and display signal strength
for two hours.
Use the Network Optimize mode to clear the mesh
device routing tables of the ZFR1811 Routers and
attempt to find shorter and/or stronger signal paths to
the ZFR1810 Coordinator.
Note: The Network Optimize process can take up to
15 minutes to complete.
Refer to the ZFR1800 Series Wireless Field Bus
System Technical Bulletin (LIT-12011295) for more
