Establishing the Network
3. Observe the yellow OPEN_NET LED illuminate on the coordinator WCI.This LED remains lit for
1 hour, indicating that the network is open to allow WCIs with matching addresses to join the
network for that duration. After each WCI joins, the 1 hour timer starts over.
Notes: If the network closes because the timer has expired, you can open the network for an
additional hour by pressing the OPEN_NET button on the network coordinatorWCI.To
extend time on a network that has not yet closed, press the OPEN_NET button on the
coordinator to close the network, then press it again to open the network for an
additional hour.
4. Observe the green NWK LED illuminate:
• On the coordinator WCI, indicating that it has joined its own network.
• On each additional WCI as it joins the network.
Notes: Typically, it takes about 10 minutes for a WCI to join the network. However, the time is
dependent on the distance between the WCIs in network as well as the size and type
of structures that may exist between them.
5. After the network is formed, press the OPEN_NET button on the coordinator to close the
network if it is still open (indicated by an illuminated OPEN_NET LED).
Task 2: Installing a Tracer SC After Network Formation
After aTracer SC is installed on a previously established network, the network must be disbanded
and then re-established. Follow this procedure:
1. On the WCI that is currently the network coordinator, press the START button for 10 seconds.
The network will disband.
2. Install an addressed WCI on theTracer SC following addressing and wiring instructions (see
“WCI Addressing,” p. 11 and “Mounting and Wiring the WCI,” p. 13).
After power is restored to theTracer SC, the WCI that is installed on theTracer SC automatically
becomes the network coordinator and a new network is established.
3. Observe the yellow OPEN_NET LED illuminate on the coordinator WCI.This LED remains lit for
1 hour, indicating that the network is open to allow WCIs with matching addresses to join the
network for that duration. After each WCI joins, the 1 hour timer starts over.
Note: If the network closes because the timer has expired, you can open the network for an
additional hour by pressing the OPEN_NET button on the network coordinator WCI.To
extend time on a network that has not yet closed, press the OPEN_NET button on the
coordinator to close the network, then press it again to open the network for an
additional hour.
4. Observe the green NWK LED illuminate:
• On the coordinator WCI, indicating that it has joined its own network.
• On each additional WCI as it joins the network.
Note: Typically, it takes about 10 minutes for a WCI to join the network. However, the time is
dependent on the distance between the WCIs in network as well as the size and type of
structures that may exist between them.
5. After the network is formed, press the OPEN_NET button on the coordinator to close the
network if it is still open (indicated by an illuminated OPEN_NET LED).
6. To enable and configureTracer SC for the new wireless network, seeTracer SC Online Help and
the current edition of theTracer SC System Controller Installation and Setup guide (BAS-
SVX31).
