Communication-link wiring and
addressing
The Tracer ZN511 zone controller communicates with the BAS and with
other LonTalk controllers via a LonTalk communication link. For impor-
tant instructions on network wiring, refer to the Tracer Summit Hard-
ware and Software Installation guide (BMTX-SVN01A-EN). Wiring for
the communication link must meet the following requirements:
• All wiring must comply with the National Electrical Code and local
codes.
• 22 AWG Level 4 unshielded communications wire recommended for
most Comm5 installations.
• Termination resistors are required for wiring LonTalk devices com-
municating on a network. For important instructions on using termi-
nation resistors for LonTalk applications, refer to the Tracer Summit
Hardware and Software Installation guide (BMTX SVN01A-EN).
Each Tracer ZN511 zone controller has a unique 12-character alphanu-
meric device address for communicating on a BAS network. This address,
referred to as a Neuron ID, is assigned in the factory before the product is
shipped. Each controller can be identified by viewing its unique Neuron
ID, which is on a printed label attached to the circuit board of the control-
ler. Additional adhesive-backed, peel-off Neuron ID labels are tethered to
the controller for placing on mechanical prints or unit location work-
sheets. The Neuron ID will appear when communication is established
with the Rover service tool or a BAS. An example Neuron ID is 00-01-64-
1C-2B-00.
