MODEL 13000 Application Guide INTRODUCTION There are two physical configurations of the model 130 as well as two operating configurations. Figure 1 above shows a model 130 Remote Communication Node or RCN, which is located with an 8870 thermostat. This configuration provides two power wires, four RS485/422 serial communication wires and a 12” long coaxial antenna. It should be powered by the same 24VAC as the thermostat.
MODEL 13000 Application Guide OPERATING CONFIGURATION Model 130 series RF transceivers can be configured to operate as either a Master Transceiver or as a Remote Communication Node (RCN) And, the mesh network / repeater function can be turned on or off (factory default is off). Because of the physical configuration differences in the two models it is unlikely to be necessary to alter the Master Transceiver / RCN configuration. PB1 selects the configuration property as indicated by D1 FLASHCOUNT.
MODEL 13000 Application Guide MASTER TRANSCEIVER / RCN CONFIGURATION — TABLE 1 D2 D1 CONFIGURATION FLASH COUNT FLASH COUNT DESCRIPTION 1 Remote Communication Node RCN* (Factory Default) 1 1 Wires directly to an Aprilaire 8870 Communicating Thermostat. 2 Master Transceiver 1 2 Plugs on to one of the RS485/422 serial ports of an NI-700. * Factory default setting.
MODEL 13000 Application Guide LINKING PROCESS Start the linking process by simultaneously pressing PB2 and PB3 on the Remote Control Node you wish to associate with a given Master Transceiver. LED’s D2 and D3 will light and stay on for approximately 5-seconds after you have simultaneously pressed both buttons indicating an installation link period window is open.
MODEL 13000 Application Guide RF COMMUNICATION TEST After RCN units have been linked to a Master and installed on thermostat bases , a communication test should be run to ensure a reliable communication path exists between each RCN and its Master Transceiver. Master Transceiver NI-700 Initiate a 5-second communication test with the Master transceiver by pressing PB2 on the RCN under test.
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, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Important Note: The device cannot be sold retail,to the general public or by mail order.
