Smart Wireless THUM Adapter

WIRELESS CONSIDERATIONS

Power Up Sequence

Power should not be applied to any wireless device until the Smart Wireless Gateway (“Gateway”) is installed and functioning properly. Wireless devices should also be powered up in order of proximity from the Gateway, beginning with the closest. This will result in a simpler and faster network installation. Enable Active Advertising on the Gateway to ensure that new devices join the network faster. For more information see the Smart Wireless Gateway Manual (Doc. No. 00809-0200-4420).

THUM Adapter Position

If possible, the THUM Adapter should be positioned vertically, either straight up or straight down, and it should be approximately 3 ft. (1 m) from any large structure, building, or conductive surface to allow for clear communication to other devices. If the THUM Adapter is mounted horizontally wireless communication range may be decreased. See THUM Adapter reference manual (00809-0100-4075) for more information.

Conduit Entry

When installing the THUM Adapter into the conduit entry of a wired device, use an approved thread sealant. Thread sealant provides a water tight seal. The thread sealant also provides lubrication to ensure easy removal of the THUM Adapter.

M20 Conduit Adapter

When using the M20 Conduit Adapter on the THUM Adapter, use an approved thread sealant and tighten wrench tight to the THUM Adapter.

Field Communicator Connections

In order for the Field Communicator to interface with the THUM Adapter, the wired device must be powered. The Field Communicator must be put into poll mode and should use the THUM Adapter address of 63.
