Daintree GE Current WA100-PM

The Daintree WA100-PM Wireless Adapter is a key component of the Daintree Networked wireless controls solution, designed for smart commercial and industrial buildings. It facilitates wireless communication via the ZigBee® network, transmitting and receiving messages to control lighting.

Function Description:

The WA100-PM is an AC-powered device that offers On/Off switching and 0-10V analog dimming control for LED drivers and ballasts. It also supplies low-voltage power for various devices such as occupancy sensors, photosensors (daylight harvesters), and wall switches, while providing the wireless adaptation necessary for these devices to communicate with the broader wireless control solution. Control signals from connected devices pass through the WA100-PM to the Wireless Area Controller, managed via the Daintree Controls Software (DCS) web application. The device monitors and measures the power consumption of the connected lighting load, reporting this data to DCS.

Usage Features:

The WA100-PM's operation is configured via DIP switches, which determine the type of lighting control provided and the connected device(s). There are two primary adaptation modes: Light Adapter Mode (for lighting control type and sensor types) and Switch Adapter Mode (for switch type and light connection).

Light Adapter Mode:
- On/Off + 0-10V dimming: Provides both On/Off and 0-10V dimming control.
- On/Off (no dimming): Provides On/Off control using line voltage Switched Load and low voltage digital output for an external relay.
- Alternate: Switches separate drivers, providing 0%, partial, or full load control.
- Bi-Level: Controls two loads independently, allowing 0%, partial, or full load.
- No Driver (sensors only): Adapts for occupancy sensors and/or photosensors without driver control.
- Range Extender: Acts as a wireless repeater to improve network range/reliability (requires firmware v2.6 or higher).
Switch Adapter Mode:
- Dimming: Switch generates dimming and On/Off signals.
- On/Off (no dimming): Switch generates On/Off signals.
- Alternate: Switch controls separate drivers for 0%, partial, or full load.
- Bi-Level: Switch controls loads independently in a bi-level driver.
- Light Output ID: Configures the WA100-PM based on whether a driver and switch are of the same type (e.g., dimming switch with 0-10V dimmable driver).
- No Light (switch only): Provides wireless adaptation for the selected switch type without a connected light.
Occupancy Sensor Time Delays: Occupancy sensors should be set for minimum time delay during installation, as "Off delays" are configured in the DCS web application.
Wiring: Line voltage wiring (Black Hot 14AWG, Red Switched Load 14AWG, White Neutral 18AWG) connects to the electrical supply and driver(s). Low voltage wiring (22AWG) connects to devices like switches, dimmers, and sensors. It is crucial not to connect any single low voltage device to more than one WA100-PM.
Installation Test Mode: During this mode, low voltage devices directly control the lights. After exiting, lights are controlled by the Daintree Networked system based on DCS configurations.
Power Failure Bypass: The WA100-PM can be wired to bypass switched power and 0-10V dimming control during a power failure, allowing the fixture to operate at maximum output.

Maintenance Features:

Installation Process: Includes steps for disconnecting power, setting DIP switches, affixing IEEE address labels, mounting, and connecting low-voltage and line-voltage wiring.
Reset Functionality: A blue RESET button allows for unit reset (3-second press), indicated by flashing green Joined and red Error LEDs.
LED Indicators:
- Error/Test (red): On for error state, flashes for unit reset and during Installation Test Mode.
- Joined (green): On when joined to a ZigBee® network, flashes for reset and during sensor Installation Test Mode.
- Power (green): On when power is applied.
Troubleshooting: Provides guidance for failed installation tests (confirming power, connections, DIP switch settings), issues with occupancy sensor tests (checking sensor detection and time delay), and invalid DIP switch configurations (red Error LED flashing).
Wiring Best Practices: Recommendations for reducing noise on low voltage wiring include keeping wires short, separating signal lines from mains voltage, reducing the area created by signal lines and GND return, and twisting signal lines with GND return.
Trimming and Dressing: Instructions for securing unused low voltage wires by cutting, isolating ends with wire nuts/shrink tubing, and wrapping them around the adapter.
Mounting: The WA100-PM can be mounted in a driver cavity, externally to a junction box, or using the included mounting bracket, which offers a screw-mounting alternative and a slot for wires. A barcode label with the full IEEE address should be affixed to the outside of the fixture for easy identification.
