Zigbee Modules Device Installation

The RP controller expansion Zigbee modules are designed to be installed on a flat surface on a ceiling.

The Zigbee modules must be professionally installed to comply with the following rules and regulations:

  • 2014/53/EU Radio Equipment Directive (RED) of the European Union (EU)

  • UK Statutory Instruments 2017 No. 1206 – The Radio Equipment Regulations 2017

For more information, see Zigbee Modules Regulatory Compliance and Approvals .

The Zigbee module and its integrated antenna must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 20 cm (8 in.) from all persons and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. Information on recommended RF exposure limits can be obtained from Health Canada's website, www.canada.ca/en/health-canada .

Caution Caution

RADIO FREQUENCY (RF) EXPOSURE

  • Install the Zigbee module and its antenna at least 20 cm (8 in.) from all persons.

  • Do not install the Zigbee module with its integrated antenna near any other antenna or radio transmitter.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in minor or moderate injury.

Notice

REDUCED RADIO COVERAGE RANGE

Do not route power or high-voltage cables close to the Zigbee module's integrated antenna, which is in the lower right area of the device.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in reduced device performance.

To install a Zigbee module on a ceiling, you drill two holes in the ceiling with a distance of 121 mm (4.7 inches) between the holes, and fasten the device using two M3 (3 mm) x 22 mm Phillips flat head self-tapping screws with a 5.8 mm screw head diameter. The device has two holes in the back cover to facilitate installation. The two screws are delivered with the device. For more information, see Installing an RP Controller Expansion Zigbee Module on a Ceiling .

The screw terminals on the left and right side of the Zigbee module are covered by two terminal covers (doors), which are intended to reduce the access to the screw terminals and wires. To open or close a terminal cover, you need to unscrew or screw in the two clamping screws. These two screws are also used to fasten the cables to the device. The device is equipped with an upper cable clamping bar on the inside of the terminal covers, and four lower cable clamping bars are delivered with the device, to facilitate the fastening of the cables. The lower, removable cable clamping bars can be mounted or removed to fit cables of smaller or larger diameter.

Danger Danger

HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH

Disconnect the power supply and other high voltage equipment before wiring.

Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.
