(FLNX).
Product Description
The FLNX (Figure 1) is mounted at or near the FLN
device and is powered by 24 Vac. The antenna can
either be direct-mounted to the radio, or mounted
remotely for installations where the location of the
FLNX would cause the antenna to be shielded. For
example, when the FLNX is mounted inside a TEC
enclosure.

Transceivers do not come with an
antenna. Antenna(s) must be ordered
separately.

Warning/Caution Notations
WARNING:
Personal injury/loss of life may occur if you
do not follow the procedures as specified.
CAUTION:
Equipment damage or loss of data may
occur if you do not follow the procedures
as specified.
Expected Installation Time
5 minutes.
Tools
• Electro-Static Discharge wrist strap
•Smallflat-blade screwdriver
• Cordless drill/driver set
Prerequisites
• All wiring must conform to NEC and local
codes and regulations.
• 24 Vac Class II power source available.
• Any application specific hardware or devices
installed.
Antenna Mounting
Direct Mount Antenna
The preferred mounting configuration is to mount
the FLNX outside the TEC enclosure in a location
where it will establish the maximum number of
communication links with other FLNXs and its
associated FPX. For example, in a VAV application
this will typically be on the bottom of the VAV box in
the ceiling plenum with the entire antenna extending
below the VAV box (Figure 2).

Remote Mount Antenna
The FLNX is mounted inside the TEC (or any metal)
enclosure and the antenna is brought through a 1/2”
knockout (Figure 3).
The antenna extension cable 12” long.

Installation
1. Determine the optimal location of the FLNX and
antenna for RF communications.
2. Mount the FLNX using screws, double-sided tape
or velcro (included).
3. Connect the communication port of the FLN
device to the FLNX.
4. Connect 24 Vac power (Figure 4).

5. For Remote Mount Antenna: Locate the liquid
tight fitting so that the antenna extension cable
does not incur excessive pull force. At the desired
enclosure location, punch a 1/2” knockout and
use the locknut to secure the body of the liquid
tight fitting into the knockout.
6. For Remote Mount Antenna: Route the
antenna through the body of the liquid tight fitting
(Figure 5). Hand-tighten the liquid tight fitting nut
to secure the antenna in place.
Make certain the liquid tight fitting nut
tightens on the antenna base (Figure 5)
and not the antenna so that the antenna
can be articulated.
7. Connect the antenna wire to the FLNX.
8. Position the antenna in a vertical orientation (up
or down).
CAUTION:
For Factory installations: The antenna
must be protected during shipment to avoid
damage to the antenna.
The installation is complete.

FCC NOTE:
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.
2. This device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by
the party responsible for compliance could void the
user’s authority to operate the equipment.
To comply with FCC’s RF exposure limits for general
population / uncontrolled exposure, the antenna(s)
used for this transmitter must be installed to provide
a separation distance of at least 20 cm from all
persons and must not be co-located or operating in
conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
Industrie Canada certification:
This device has been designed to operate with
an antenna having a maximum gain of 5dBi.
Antenna having a higher gain is strictly prohibited
per regulations of Industry Canada. The required
antenna impedance is 50Ω.
To reduce potential radio interference to other users,
the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen
that the equivalent isotropically radiated power
(EIRP) is not more than that required for successful
communication.
The Wireless Field Level Network Transceiver
(FLNX) is to be installed or replaced by professional
installation personnel only.
Information in this document is based on specifications believed correct at the time of publication. The right is reserved to make changes as
design improvements are introduced. Product or company names mentioned herein may be the trademarks of their respective owners.
