5200WHC2 Wiser Home Controller 2 Installation Instructions

C-Bus Network Devices

In order to collect C-Bus network information (for PICED), the Wiser 2 must be connected

to an active C-Bus network. Be sure to use Cat.5e UTP cable that is certiﬁed for use on

C-Bus networks; catalogue number 5005C305B (solid), 5005C305BST (stranded).

The Wiser 2 uses a 2-terminal plug for C-Bus. This avoids the possibility of wiring the

C-Bus network to the Ethernet LAN.

C-Bus Toolkit software (installed earlier on the PC) allows you to get the unit addresses

and group addresses that are used by PICED to create a project for device monitoring and

control.

Do not run C-Bus Toolkit software and PICED software at the same time on your PC. Both

applications use the C-Gate program but in slightly different modes of operation.

To use C-Bus Toolkit with the Wiser Home Controller 2, do the following:

1. If Toolkit cannot ﬁnd an IP address for the Wiser 2, then press the Scan Network button

on the toolbar.

2. Use the tools provided to scan the network, search for networks, or refresh the list of

projects, as needed. Refer to Toolkit’s help ﬁles for more information.

3. If you have difﬁculty accessing the C-Bus network using C Bus Toolkit, check the cable

connection at the rear of the Wiser 2. Look for LED indications of a problem.

4. After you have updated the Tag database using C-Bus Toolkit, save the project and shut

Toolkit down before opening PICED.

C-Bus cable

Use Category 5e Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) network cable.
