26. What to Know About Wireless Thermostats Eliminates wiring to the network, making retrofits the ideal application for these thermostats
Total installed cost for wireless jobs impacted by building architecture and labor costs
Review the Wireless Installation and Integration Reference Guide (form number 63-4522) to learn more
Contractor should complete a site survey prior to bidding a job
Get From parameter copies setup from a like thermostat
TB-VWG-APP-1014 wireless communication card required
WEB-2xx / WEB-6xx: Option slot 1; serial port COM1
WEB-7xx: Option slot 1 or 2; serial port COM3 or COM4
The wireless channel parameter should be set at15 or 25
Honeywell ZigBee wireless mesh thermostats are a great solution, especially in retrofit applications where wiring can be difficult or impossible. Installations where decorative surfaces such as marble, glass or granite may be ideal for a wireless solution. However there are some things to know about ZigBee wireless mesh before specing or installing a job using these thermostats.
Keep in mind that these wireless thermostats eliminate networking wiring only. Wiring to the equipment is still required. This makes these wirieless thermostats ideal for retrofits where the wiring from thermostats to existing equipment already exists.
The total installed cost for wireless retrofit jobs is impacted by:
Number of floors in the building. Each floor should have a controller and a wireless communication card.
The labor costs in your area. Contractors with experience installing wireless are estimating BACnet and wireless installations at the same cost. The real value proposition for the wireless solution centers around eliminating the need to run network wiring.
In retrofits where network wiring is difficult or impossible, wireless can be a good option.
To learn more about important guidelines for wireless installations, download and review the Wireless Communicating Thermostat Reference Guide. This reference guide includes information on
Basic design and deployment considerations,
How to complete a site survey,
How to add a wireless thermostat network to WEBStation-AX, and
A complete list of all the available wireless thermostat objects.
You can find this document on customer.honeywell.com.
Every building is unique so we recommend doing a wireless site survey prior to bidding on a job that includes ZigBee wireless thermostats, if at all possible, because ZigBee wireless networks are influenced by the same environmental factors that affect other systems including:
Interference from radio emitters
Various electronic devices
Interference caused by solid objects that may slow or stop communication between devices
You can use the Get From parameter at a thermostat to copy the configuration of a like thermostat. This parameter can greatly reduce setup time at each thermostat. Keep in mind that this parameter can only be used on thermostats with the same OS number.
When configuring the wireless thermostat network, use option slot 1 and COM1 for WEB-200 and greater and WEB-600 and greater controllers. On a WEB-700 or greater you can use option slot one or two but must configure the serial port on slot one for COM3 and slot two for COM4.
While ZigBee provides a channel range from 11 to 26, use only channel 15 or 25 to avoid network interference with 802.11 Wi-Fi devices in the 2.4 GHZ spectrum range.Honeywell ZigBee wireless mesh thermostats are a great solution, especially in retrofit applications where wiring can be difficult or impossible.

27. About ZigBee Wireless Mesh 2.4 GHz frequency band per IEEE 802.15.4
Small, low-power digital radio
Each node (or device) acts as a router
Self-healing network
Range
50 ft (15M) range typical
100 ft (30M) open air (environment will impact max range) ZigBee is the only standards-based wireless technology designed to address the unique needs of low-cost, low-power wireless sensor and control networks in just about any market.
ZigBee is based on IEEE 802.15.4-2003 standard which specifies 2.4 GHz frequency over 16 channels using small, low power digital radios. Data rates are 250 kbps (kilobytes per second).
Device to device range is typically 50 feet or 15 meters while in ideal conditions ranges of up to 100 feet or 30 meters can be reached. The building’s environmental conditions will affect range)
Mesh networking is a type of network where each node or device acts as an independent router.
Because each device is independent, it allows for continuous connections and reconfiguration around broken or blocked paths by ‘hopping’ and ‘remeshing’ from node to node until the final destination is reached. This is what we mean by self-healing.
The range for a Zigbee wireless network is 50 feet in areas with obstructions and 100 feet in open air enironments where thermostats have a clear line of sight.
Continue connections and reconfiguring around broken/blocked path by hopping and remeshing from node to node until final destination is reached

28. ZigBee Device Addresses 6 ZigBee addresses per device (these aren’t the same as the device IDs, under the hood).
Once assigned stored in flash memory
Address is only lost if a new PAN ID or Channel parameter is assigned to the network Any device, including the controller / wireless communication card, thermostats or repeaters can only give a maximum of six ZigBee addresses out to other devices so they can join the ZigBee network. This means for an device to successfully join the ZigBee network, a device needs an address to be assigned by another device that is within its range and that has not already assigned it maximum of six addresses. Note that once a device has been assigned a ZigBee address and has joined the active ZigBee network, it will save its assigned ZigBee address to flash memory and reuse it later, even if powered down or the network is restarted. The only time a device requires a new ZigBee address is if the network is assigned a new PAN ID or a new channel. These two things cause the ZigBee address in flash to be erased and will force the device to try to rejoin the network. Review the Wireless Installation and Integration Reference Guide for more information on how to address devices in the office prior to installation or in the field.Any device, including the controller / wireless communication card, thermostats or repeaters can only give a maximum of six ZigBee addresses out to other devices so they can join the ZigBee network.

29. Basic Network Design & Deployment Use a per floor horizontal architecture instead of a vertical one
Transmissions from one floor to the next may be possible in some applications such as a stairway)
Thermostat antenna is designed for horizontal distance, not vertical
Expect to use one WEBs controller and TB-VWG-APP-1014 card per floor
Radio transmissions do not travel through steel
Avoid metal, brick walls, or concrete obstructions between devices as much as possible
Drywall construction
Clear line-of-sight: 100 ft max device range
Obstructed line-of-site: 50 ft max device range
A dense clusters of thermostats will allow network to recover from temporary disturbances more quickly When designing a ZigBee network the proper design considerations should be addressed prior to installation.
Honeywell recommends a per floor horizontal architecture instead of a vertical one. Transmitting from one floor to another may be possible in certain applications (such as going through stairways), but the design and optimization of the thermostat antenna is for optimal horizontal distance penetration and not vertical. For this reason, expect to use one WEBs controller and wireless communication per floor.
Please note that radio transmission cannot travel through steel. If floors are constructed with steel joists or other steel materials it is highly unlikely that the wireless thermostat transmissions will be successful through floors.
When possible, avoid metal, brick walls or concrete obstructions between wireless devices as much as possible. In drywall construction which may include metal stud framing, plan on 50 feet for maximum device range when wireless devices do not have a clear line of sight.

31. Basic Network Design & Deployment Distance between thermostats or repeaters and other wireless devices such as wireless routers and laptops to avoid interference
10 ft (3M) recommended
3 ft (1M) minimum
In order to avoid interference from other wireless devices, such as wireless routers, wireless adapters, and laptops using a wireless network, maintain at least 3 feet or 1 meter between any Honeywell wireless device and any other Wi-Fi devices. If possible, separate Honeywell wireless devices by 10 feet or 3 meters.In order to avoid interference from other wireless devices, such as wireless routers, wireless adapters, and laptops using a wireless network, maintain at least 3 feet or 1 meter between any Honeywell wireless device and any other Wi-Fi devices.

32. Basic Network Design & Deployment Locate controller & wireless card
Near or in direct line-of-sight to as many thermostats as possible
Near the center of associated thermostats
Install one thermostat within 50 ft of the controller & wireless card for every 10 thermostats installed
Wireless antenna on wireless card should be perpendicular to the floor
Install a TB-RA-1014 wireless remote antenna if controller & wireless card are mount in a metal cabinet
When selecting a location for the controller and wireless communication card, place them as near to the direct line of sight to as many thermostats as possible and position as near to the center of the installed thermostat cluster as possible.
At least one thermostat should be installed within 50 feet or 15 meters of the controller and wireless communication card for every 10 thermostats installed. So if the installation has 50 thermostats installed, at least five should be installed within 50 feet of the controller and wireless communication card.
The wireless antenna on the wireless communication card should be placed perpendicular to the floor. And if the controller is mounted in a metal cabinet, a wireless remote antenna must be installed and mounted outside the metal cabinet.When selecting a location for the controller and wireless communication card, place them as near to the direct line of sight to as many thermostats as possible and position as near to the center of the installed thermostat cluster as possible.

33. ZigBee Network Site Survey Preparation Create a floor plan layout showing device locations
Prepare equipment for site survey
WEBs-AX controller with wireless communication card
Wireless thermostats configured with the same channel and PAN ID as the wireless communication card
Perform the site survey during business hours when other wireless devices and electronic devices will be in use
Site surveys provide a worst case scenario of a point-to-point application; when all wireless thermostats are present the network will route signals more efficiently Prior to a site survey, it is best to create a floor plan layout showing the location of the proposed thermostats and controller/wireless card that you plan to install in the building.
You will need one WEBs-AX controller with a wireless communication installed and configured along with at least two wireless thermostats or wireless repeaters to complete the site survey. It is recommended that you have five thermostats to test up to five hops in the installation. Alternatively, two thermostats can be used and you can move the controller as you move outward to measure additional hops. The thermostats should be programmed with the same channel and PAN ID as the wireless communication card.
If at all possible, perform the site survey during normal business hours when other wireless and electronic devices such as computers, wireless laptops, cell phones, microwave ovens, light ballasts, etc will be in use.
Keep in mind that the readings received during a site survey are more representative of a point-to-point survey and not a mesh network survey. This type of survey is a worst case scenario so should provide some confidence in your site design. Once the whole network is deployed and all wireless thermostats are functioning as routers, the ability of the network to efficiently route wireless signals is much greater that the point-to-point method. For this reason, the displayed percentage for the thermostat’s signal only represents the signal strength from point A to point B. As other devices join the network mesh, the route taken from device A to device B will mostly likely change.

34. ZigBee Network Site Survey – On Site Start the Station in WEBs-AX Workbench
Check the signal strength of both thermostats at the controller/wireless card Once you are on site and ready to perform a site survey, power up the WEB-AX controller with the wireless communication card and WEBs-AX Workbench. With both thermostats powered up, and near the controller, check to ensure the controller is reading the signal strength of both thermostats. You can view each thermostat’s signal strength in the WEBs-AX Workbench.
Next find the potential coverage radius of the controller and wireless card at the proposed location by moving out and away from the controller and testing until a signal cannot be read. It is possible that another location may improve the network performance or that a repeater is required in some locations.
Test each proposed thermostat installation location until you are out of range. Note the signal strength for each thermostat on the site drawing. Any signal strength from 10% to 100% indicates good connectivity. If you have a value below 10% a repeater may be needed. We recommend testing all thermostat locations to ensure proper coverage. All thermostats within range of the controller can be expected to join the network directly through the controller without any hops or routes.

35. ZigBee Network Site Survey – On Site Position the controller/ wireless communication card in a central location to the thermostat network
Determine the coverage radius by walking to each cluster of thermostats – 20% signal strength. Any thermostat or repeater on the ZigBee wireless network should be no further than five hops to and from the controller and wireless communication card. This is due to the nature of the Honeywell ZigBee stack in the wireless thermostats and repeaters.
To properly lay out the architecture and determine the number of controllers and wireless communication cards required on the job, begin by establishing the maximum possible coverage of a single controller with a wireless communication card while respecting the five hop rule.
Begin by positioning the controller with the wireless communication card centrally in the building in relation to the wireless network.
Next determine the coverage radius of the first hop from the controller by walking to the proposed locations for thermostat clusters. Locate the boundary where the signal strength is about 20%. This represents the first hop where connectivity is possible based on the building’s environment and partition construction. Note that the distance can be anywhere from 0 to hundreds of feet depending on the environment.Any thermostat or repeater on the ZigBee wireless network should be no further than five hops to and from the controller and wireless communication card.

36. ZigBee Network Site Survey – On Site Note the signal strength for each proposed thermostat location
A value from 10 – 100% indicates good connectivity
A value below 10% may indicate the need for a repeater or relocating the thermostat
Next test each thermostat location to ensure the signal strength is between 10% and 100%. If a thermostat measures below 10% and is well within the radius of the first hop review the environmental to determine reasons for the lower signal strength. For example, if the device is in an electrical room, the thermostat may need to be installed outside the electrical room and a remote sensor installed in the electric room. Or a repeater may need to be added to help the thermostat make the hop. Record reading for each thermostat on the site drawing.
All wireless devices within the range of the controller and wireless communication card should join the network directly with the controller and without a hop. In the figure the arrows in our sample floor plan indicate the thermostats that are within direct range of the thermostat. Note that all thermostat locations should be tested to ensure coverage.

37. ZigBee Network Site Survey – On Site Leave the thermostat or repeater at the first cluster location and move another thermostat toward the next cluster of thermostats. Locate the boundary where the signal strength is about 20%. This represents the maximum radius of the second hop where connectivity is possible based on the building environment and construction.
After determining the radius, test each thermostat in the radius to ensure the signal strength is within the 10 to 100% ranges.
Repeat the process until you establish the maximum range covered by five hops where the last position recorded represents the safest furthest position that can be covered by a single controller.Leave the thermostat or repeater at the first cluster location and move another thermostat toward the next cluster of thermostats.

39. What to Know About BACnet Installations EIA-485 BACnet Standard
Honeywell uses EIA-485 as the physical layer between the TB7200, TB7300, and TB7600 BACnet devices and WEBs-AX controllers. This sections highlights some of the wiring requirements for a BACnet installation.Honeywell uses EIA-485 as the physical layer between the TB7200, TB7300, and TB7600 BACnet devices and WEBs-AX controllers. This sections highlights some of the wiring requirements for a BACnet installation.
40. Number of Devices on a BACnet Network 64 devices per segment (includes the controller)
128 devices per network (includes the controller and repeaters)
A maximum of 64 nodes is allowed on a single daisy chain segment. A node is defined as any device (controller, thermostat or repeater,
etc) connected to the RS485 network. Terminators do not count as a node.
To determine the number of nodes on a network, add the following:
• One node for each device, including the controller
• One node for each repeater on the chain
If you have more than 64 devices, then repeaters are required to extend the network. The BASRT-B repeater by Contemporary Controls
can be used if repeaters are needed.

41. Wiring a BACNet Network Daisy chain configuration
Max daisy chain length is 4000 ft (1200 m)
The maximum length of a chain is related to its transmission speed. The longer the chain, the slower the speed. Using proper
cable, the maximum length of an EIA-485 daisy chain is 4000-ft (1200 m). This will only work reliably for data rates up to 100,000
bps. Honeywell maximum data rate is 76,800 bps. If a network length of more than 4000 feet, then repeaters are required to extend the network.
MS/TP network must be properly terminated. For daisy chain configurations, you must install an EOL resistor at each end of the
daisy chain. Depending on your MSTP network configuration, the resistance value of the EOL resistor may change:
A TB7200, TB7300, and/or TB7600 devices are installed at both ends of the MSTP network:
120 Ohms resistor should be installed at each end.
• A TB7200, TB7300, or TB7600 device is installed at one end of the MSTP network and another device is installed at the other end:
Install an End-Of-Line resistor value that matches the other device’s instructions regarding its EOL resistor value;
• Other devices are installed at both ends of the MSTP network:
Follow the other device’s instructions regarding its EOL resistor value.

bps. Honeywell maximum data rate is 76,800 bps. If a network length of more than 4000 feet, then repeaters are required to extend the network.
MS/TP network must be properly terminated. For daisy chain configurations, you must install an EOL resistor at each end of the
daisy chain. Depending on your MSTP network configuration, the resistance value of the EOL resistor may change:
A TB7200, TB7300, and/or TB7600 devices are installed at both ends of the MSTP network:
120 Ohms resistor should be installed at each end.
• A TB7200, TB7300, or TB7600 device is installed at one end of the MSTP network and another device is installed at the other end:
Install an End-Of-Line resistor value that matches the other device’s instructions regarding its EOL resistor value;
• Other devices are installed at both ends of the MSTP network:
Follow the other device’s instructions regarding its EOL resistor value.
42. Wiring to the Network Adapter Polarity sensitive
Status LED can help troubleshoot network communication problems
Avoid using the Ref terminal to wire shields
Ground the joined shield connection at a single point on the segment The polarity of the connection to the cable is important. From one thermostat network module to the next it is important that the same color wire be connected to the plus terminal and the other color wire be connected to the minus terminal. This status LED may help to troubleshoot network problems.
The Ref terminal should NEVER be used to wire shields. The two shields from each feed of the network connection to a thermostat should be wired together in the back of the thermostat and properly protected to prevent any accidental connection to the ground.
The joined shield connection should then be grounded at a SINGLE point on the whole segment. More than one ground connection to a shielded wire may induce ground loop noises and affect communication.The polarity of the connection to the cable is important.
