LC-ZFR1822-0 Johnson Controls Verasys

Overview

The Johnson Controls LC-ZFR1822-0 Verasys ZFR Pro Wireless Field Bus Router is a wall-mounted device designed to provide a wireless interface within building automation systems. It functions as part of a Verasys Wireless Field Bus System, enabling wireless communication between field controllers, room sensors, and supervisory controllers via a ZigBee wireless mesh network. When configured with a separate power supply, it can also operate as a standalone repeater to extend the transmission range and strengthen the reliability of the network.

Features

• Wireless mesh network utilizing self-healing ZigBee technology to automatically form multiple transmission paths.
• Dual functionality as either a router connected directly to a field controller or a standalone repeater with a separate power supply.
• Flush wall-mount design optimized for open areas to improve communication distances.
• Plug-and-play transparency allowing supervisory controllers to discover, map, and integrate wireless devices without special setup procedures.
• Includes a 10-foot RJ-12 connecting cable for flexible placement away from the controller.
