Overview
The Wireless Area Controller (WAC) is the main component of the WaveLinx Pro Connected Lighting system. WaveLinx Pro eliminates
the cost and complexity of typical wireless control system commissioning while providing a wired, flexible, and reconfigurable wireless
topology for on the fly space adjustments. The WaveLinx Pro Connected Lighting 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 Pro Mobile App and various WaveLinx Pro devices to create communications and a
building ecosystem that provides out of the box functionality and leverages our patent pending automatic code commissioning
features. Using standards-based wireless mesh compliant topology the WAC communicates to various WCL standards-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 (Trellix
application required), lighting, occupancy and daylight settings and scene control. A single WAC can be connected to the building LAN
to coordinate up to 49 user-defined areas and 1 construction area, 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 Pro Mobile App.
