Wireless Area Controller
Wireless Area Controller
Overview
The Wireless Area Controller (WAC) is the main component of the
WaveLinx Wireless Controlled Lighting (WCL) system. WaveLinx
eliminates the cost and complexity of typical wireless control
system commissioning while providing a flexible and reconfigurable
topology for on the fly space adjustments. The WaveLinx system
meets modern code and utility requirements, delivers energy and
cost savings, while enabling buildings to become smart buildings.
The WAC coordinates between the WaveLinx smart and
connected Mobile App and various WaveLinx devices to create
communications and a building ecosystem that provides out of the
box functionality and leverages Eaton's patent pending automatic
code commissioning features. Using standard-based wireless mesh
compliant topology the WAC communicates to various WaveLinx
standard-based devices to provide area, lighting zone configuration,
monitoring, and control.
The WAC provides centralized coordination of multiple areas for
partial ON/partial OFF scheduling, demand response, lighting,
occupancy and daylight settings and scene control. A single WAC
can be connected to the building Local Area Network (LAN) to
coordinate up to 16 areas, or multiple WAC’s can exist on a building
LAN to scale the system to hundreds of areas all accessible for
setup, configuration and control through the WaveLinx Mobile App.
