2ZigBee Pairing Procedure
Quick setup
The quick set-up assumes all back-end configurations of the stand alone Room Controller acting as coordinator or the Multi-Purpose
Manager (MPM) coordinator for the ZigBee network have already been done. It also assumes 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 first unused Zone screen in Wireless Ecosystem section of Room Controller’s interface.
3. Insert battery or remove pull tab (for contact sensors) to activate ZigBee sensor.
4. Verify sensor has joined network, and that on 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 first screen in Configuration section of interface.
b) For window sensor, set UI16 to Window.
c) For door sensor, set UI17 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, refer to the full procedure
described later in this document.

Overview
This procedure shows you how to pair an VT8000 Series Room Controller with one of the following ZigBee Sensors:
•Ceiling Mounted Sensor
•Door/Window Mounted Sensor
•Motion Sensor
The ZigBee Sensors can be paired with a stand-alone Room Controller, or with a Room Controller as part of a network. However, when
pairing a ZigBee Sensor with a Room Controller on a network, the Room Controller must first be bound to a StruxureWare Lite
Multi-Purpose Manager.
You can pair up to 10 ZigBee Sensors per Room Controller. Each MPM can connect wirelessly with up to 30 ZigBee enabled devices
such as Room Controllers.
SETTINGS
You must correctly set the following parameters to successfully pair a ZigBee Sensor with a Room Controller:
•PAN ID to value less than 499 if Room Controller is to be bound to a MPM.
•PAN ID to value greater than or equal to 500 if the Room Controller is stand-alone.
•PAN ID parameter in Building Expert set to the same value as in the Room Controller.
•Permit join set to ON in Building Expert and Room Controller and then set to OFF in Building Expert and the Room Controller after a
successful pairing.
INSTALLATION STEPS
Perform the following steps to successfully pair the ZigBee Sensor to the Room Controller:
1. Bind the Room Controller to the MPM.
2. Set the parameters for the MPM.
3. Set Permit Join to On in the Room Controller and MPM
4. Pair the Sensor with the Room Controller
5. Install the Sensor at the selected location (see Installation Guide).

Bind Room Controller to MPM
This procedure shows you how to bind a Room Controller to a MPM using Building Expert.
CONFIGURE VT8000 SERIES
1. In the center of the top of the screen, touch and hold this point for 3 seconds to enter setup mode.
2. Select Network.
3. Select COM address.
•Using the up/down arrow icons, enter the COM address value.
•This should be unique to the device for networked installations.
4. Select ZigBee pan. ID.
•Using the up/down arrows, enter the ZigBee pan. ID value.
•This value should be 499 or less if the Room Controller is to be part of a network of Room Controllers, and 500 or greater if the
Room Controller will be stand-alone.
5. Select ZigBee channel.
6. Using the up/down arrows, enter the channel number.
