The purpose of this document is to provide sufficient detailed instructions for installation and basic troubleshooting. This document covers installation of the following products. WAC-POE Wireless Area Controller, POE powered WAC-120 Wireless Area Controller, 120V (includes PoE injector for power) WaveLinx System Architecture Figure 1. Stand Alone WAC installation Overview Figure 1. Multiple WAC installation The Wireless Area Controller (WAC) is the main component of the Eaton WaveLinx Wireless Connected Lighting system. WaveLinx eliminates the cost and complexity of typical wireless control system commissioning while providing a wired, flexible, and reconfigurable wireless topology for on the fly space adjustments. The WaveLinx system meets modern code and utility requirements, delivers energy and cost savings, while enabling buildings to become smart buildings. The WAC coordinates between the WaveLinx Mobile App and various WaveLinx devices to create communications and a building ecosystem that provides out of the box functionality and leverages our patent pending automatic code commissioning features. Using standards-based wireless mesh compliant topology the WAC communicates to various WCL standards-based devices to provide area, lighting zone configuration, monitoring, and control. The WAC provides centralized coordination of multiple areas for partial ON/partial OFF scheduling, demand response, lighting, occupancy and daylight settings and scene control. A single WAC can be connected to the building LAN to coordinate up to 16 areas, or multiple WACs can exist on a building LAN to scale the system to hundreds of areas all accessible for setup, configuration and control through the WaveLinx Mobile App. 2 EATON IB053008EN Installation instructionsWaveLinx Wireless Area Controller (WAC) WaveLinx system components Wireless Area Controller (Gateway) WaveLinx Mobile App (Commissioning and user personal control) WaveLinx Wallstation (Manual lighting and scene control) Wireless INstinct Sensor (Fixture integrated occupancy sensor, ambient light sensor and control) WaveLinx Relay Switchpack with 0-10V WaveLinx Receptacle (Wall mounted power outlet) WaveLinx Room Based Sensor (Ceiling mounted PIR occupancy sensor) Wireless Area Controller 3 EATON IB053008EN Installation instructionsWaveLinx Wireless Area Controller (WAC) Installation The Wireless Area Controller (WAC) must be installed in accordance with all local, state, and national electrical codes and requirements. Before mounting the WAC in its final location:
1. 2. Mount the Wireless Area Controller (WAC) Install Wavelinx wireless devices and verify out-of-the-box functionality Ensure the WAC is roughly in the center of the spaces and devices it is communicating to. Review the Where to Mount section of this installation instruction. The WAC can be mounted on a shelf, wall, DIN rail or ceiling using the included mounting bracket Ensure the surface the WAC is mounted against is not made of concreate, metal or other material that would reduce the wireless communication. Mounting hole locations 1.5 Use #6 screws (provided by others) for mounting 3. Power the Wireless Area Controller (WAC). The WAC is a PoE powered device. Using either the included Cat5e Ethernet cable or user provided Cat5e cable connect the WAC to the user provided PoE switch. If the installed location does not provide PoE switches the WAC can be powered by a 120V to PoE injector accessory. This requires a standard 120V receptacle located within 3 feet of the WAC. Connect the provided Cat5e Ethernet cable from the WAC to the 120V to PoE injector then connect another Cat5E cable from the PoE injector to the building network LAN. Ethernet cable runs must be less than 300 feet. 4. Document the IEEE address found on the bottom of the WAC on the site floor plans. 5. Connect to building network 6. Create Construction Group 7. Finalize programing using the WaveLinx Mobile App See WaveLinx Mobile Application user manual for more information 4 EATON IB053008EN Installation instructionsWaveLinx Wireless Area Controller (WAC) Where to Mount the WAC Typically installed above the drop ceiling or high on the wall in the center of the space it will be controlling The WAC should be located so it has a good line-of-sight view of devices it will be communicating to. Within 300ft of the PoE switch or building LAN connection point At least 10 feet away from the building WiFi access points At least 15 feet away from concreate or metal structures Where NOT to Mount the WAC Inside a metal enclosure or near large metal objects or walls Inside or near large concreate walls or spaces Do not mount inside electrical closet WaveLinx design best practices Design Consideration Gateway/WAC Range Number of Interior Walls Distance from WAC to 1st WCL Device Distance between WCL Devices Number of Hops from WAC Number of Areas per WAC Number of Zones per Area Number of Scenes per Area Best Practice 150 feet-250 feet LOS (no walls) 2 walls 150 feet 75 feet 4 hops 16 3 6 Maximum Capability 300 feet LOS 3 walls 200 feet 150 feet 5 hops 16 16 10 Wireless Area Controller LED Indicators The LED indicators can be used for diagnostics and troubleshooting diagnostics of the WaveLinx system.

Installers follow a simple process to pair the wireless devices and assign addresses with the appropriate WAC and initiate occupancy-based lighting control functionality. This saves lighting energy during the construction phase of the project by ensuring that the lights are turned off when the area is unoccupied. 1. Locate the Wireless Area Controllers on the site floorplan 2. 3. Identify which WaveLinx devices should be in range and assigned to each Wireless Area Controller Identify the circuit breakers that control WaveLinx devices that are intended to be assigned to the Wireless Area Controller by performing Construction Grouping 4. Cycle power to each circuit breaker for the identified WaveLinx devices WaveLinx devices will search for the Wireless Area Controller for 30 minutes after each power cycle, unless they have already paired with a WAC 5. On the Wireless Area Controller press and release the PAIR button to enter Construction Grouping Mode The 802.15.4 wireless network LED on the WAC will blink while in Construction Group mode The WAC will leave Construction Grouping after 30 minutes 6. WaveLinx devices will start communicating to the Wireless Area Controller 7.
