ZFR1800 Series Wireless Field Bus System Technical Bulletin6
Applications
The wireless Metasys products within a Metasys system are ideal for any location
where it is cost-prohibitive, difficult, or aesthetically unappealing to hardwire
between Metasys products. Examples of these locations include the following:
• hospitals, office buildings, university campuses, educational facilities,
correctional facilities, and other commercial structures with brick or solid
concrete walls and/or ceilings that impede hard-wired applications
• office buildings, retail stores, and other commercial real estate where tenant
turnover is frequent and temporary walls and ceilings are common
• museums, historical buildings, atriums, and other sites where building
aesthetics and historical preservation are important
• stadiums, arenas, gymnasiums, convention centers, airports, zoos, and other
locations with large, open spaces
• buildings with marble, granite, glass, mirrored, wood veneer, or other
decorative surfaces that present challenges to hard-wiring
• buildings with asbestos or other hazardous materials that must not be disturbed
• buildings with occupants sensitive to disruptions to business
• regions with high labor costs
• refrigerator/freezer storage containers
Applications to Avoid
Locations or applications that prohibit cellular telephones or Wireless Fidelity
(WiFi) systems are unsuitable for the wireless Metasys products. Examples
include:
• operating rooms or radiation therapy rooms
• validated environments
• UL 864 applications
• Department of Defense applications requiring Diacap certification (for
example, military bases and military hospitals)
Do not use the wireless Metasys products in applications that cannot tolerate
intermittent interference, or where:
• critical control features would impact life-safety or result in large monetary
loss, including secondary (backup) life-safety applications
• data centers, production lines, or critical areas would be shut down
• loss of critical control would result from loss of data from humidity or
temperature sensor communications
• operation of exhaust fans or Air Handling Units (AHUs) would impair a purge
or pressurization mode
