1 Introduction
1.1 ProtoAir Gateway
The ProtoAir wireless gateway is an external, high performance building automation multi-protocol gateway that is
preconfigured to automatically communicate between Cooper Lighting Solutions devices (hereafter simply called “device”)
connected to the ProtoAir and automatically configures them for BACnet/IP, BACnet MS/TP, Modbus TCP/IP and Modbus
RTU.
It is not necessary to download any configuration files to support the required applications. The ProtoAir is pre-loaded with
tested profiles/configurations for the supported devices.
FPA-W44Connectivity Diagram:
The ProtoAir can connect with the MSA Grid – FieldServer Manager. The FieldServer Manager allows technicians, the
OEM's support team and MSA Safety's support team to remotely connect to the ProtoAir. The FieldServer Manager
provides the following capabilities for any registered devices in the field:
• Remotely monitor and control devices.
• Collect device data and view it on the Dashboard and the MSA Smart Phone App.
• Create user defined device notifications (alarm, trouble and warning) via SMS and/or Email.
• Generate diagnostic captures (as needed for troubleshooting) without going to the site.
For more information on the FieldServer Manager, see the MSA Grid - FieldServer Manager Start-up Guide.

3 Interfacing ProtoAir to Devices
3.1 Wiring Field Port to RS-485 Serial Network
• Connect the RS-485 network wires to the 3-pin RS-485 connector on the R2 port.
◦ RS-485 is part of the RS-485 interface and must be connected to the corresponding terminal on the BMS. If the
cable is shielded, the shield must connected only at one end and to earth ground – it will help suppress the
electromagnetic field interference. (Connecting the shield at both ends will likely produce current loops, which
could produce noise or interference that the shield was intended to block).
• See Section 5.1 Connecting to the Gateway via Ethernet for information on connecting to an Ethernet network.
9 Cooper Lighting Solutions ProtoAir Guide US

3.2 Bias Resistors
To enable Bias Resistors, move both the BIAS- and BIAS+ DIP switches to the right in the orientation shown
above.
The bias resistors are used to keep the RS-485 bus to a known state, when there is no transmission on the line (bus is
idling), to help prevent false bits of data from being detected. The bias resistors typically pull one line high and the other low -
far away from the decision point of the logic.
The bias resistor is 510 ohms which is in line with the BACnet spec. It should only be enabled at one point on the bus (for
example, on the field port were there are very weak bias resistors of 100k). Since there are no jumpers, many ProtoAirs can
be put on the network without running into the bias resistor limit which is < 500 ohms.
NOTE:Seethe Termination and Bias Resistance Enote for additional information.
NOTE:The R1 and R2 DIP Switches apply settings to the respective serial port.
NOTE:If the gateway is powered on, DIP switch settings will not take effect unless the unit is power cycled.
US Cooper Lighting Solutions ProtoAir Guide 10

3.3 Termination Resistor
If the gateway is the last device on the serial trunk, then the End-Of-Line Termination Switch needs to be enabled. To
enable the termination resistor, move the TERM dip switch to the right in the orientation shown in above.
The termination resistor is also used to reduce noise. It pulls the two lines of an idle bus together. However, the resistor
would override the effect of any bias resistors if connected. The R1 termination resistor is 120 Ohms.
NOTE:The R1 and R2 DIP Switches apply settings to the respective serial port.
NOTE:If the gateway is already powered on, DIP switch settings will not take effect unless the unit is power
cycled.
11 Cooper Lighting Solutions ProtoAir Guide US

4 Power up the Gateway
Check power requirements in the table below:
Power Requirement for ProtoAir External Gateway
Current Draw Type
ProtoAir Family 12VDC 24VDC/AC
FPA –W44 (Typical) 250mA 125mA
NOTE: These values are ‘nominal’ and a safety margin should be added to the power supply of the host system.
A safety margin of 25% is recommended.
Apply power to the ProtoAir as shown below. Ensure that the power supply used complies with the specifications provided in
Section 15 Specifications.
• The gateway accepts 9-30VDC or 24VAC on pins L+ and N-.
• Frame GND should be connected to ensure personnel safety and to limit material damages due to electrical faults.
Ground planes are susceptible to transient events that cause sudden surges in current. The frame ground connection
provides a safe and effective path to divert the excess current from the equipment to earth ground.
NOTE:Floating AC Power Supplies are supported.
