Quick setup
This short procedure is intended to let you pair a ZigBee sensor with your Room Controller.
It assumes that all the back-end configuration of the stand alone Room Controller acting as
coordinator or the Multi-Purpose Manager (MPM) coordinator for the ZigBee network has
already been done, and it assumes that the user is familiar with the Permit Join function
and the Wireless Ecosystem screen functions.
Procedure
1. Set Permit Join on your Room Controller (or networked MPM coordinator if used) to On.
2. Go to the first unused Zone screen in the Wireless Ecosystem section of the Room
Controller’s interface.
3. Insert the battery or remove the pull tab (for contact sensors) to activate the ZigBee
sensor.
4. Verify that the sensor has joined the network, and that on the Zone screen the Paired
field status reads Yes.
5. Set the Set function to parameter to the correct setting.
6. Set Permit Join on your Room Controller (or networked MPM coordinator if used) to Off.
7. Conditional to use of door or window contact sensors
a. Go to the first screen in the Configuration section of the interface.
b. For window sensor, set UI 16 to Window.
c. For door sensor, set UI 17 to Door Dry.
8. Physically install the sensor.
Troubleshooting
If the short procedure described here is insufficient or an MPM or Room Controller needs
to be configured, please refer to the VT8000 Room Controllers ZigBee Sensors Integration
