SMART-BUS QUESTION AND ANSWER
Q. How Many HVAC2 modules can be connected in Smart-BUS Mesh Network?
A. 30,000 HVAC2 modules can be connected
Q. How Many Addressable Zones can be connected in Smart-BUS Mesh Network?
A. 250,000 addressable Zones can be connected and monitored
Q. How Many Z-Audio2 separate Zones can be connected in Smart-BUS Cloud Network?
A. 1470 Separate Zones can be connected
Q. How Many total Devices or modules can be connected in Smart-BUS Cloud Network?
A. 16.5 Million Devices or modules can be connected
Q. How Many Lighting and Dimming Channels can be connected in Smart-BUS Mesh Network?
A. 30,000 lighting Channels can be connected
Q. How Many characters can be sent within one string command using RS-232/485?
A. 50 characters per command string
Q. How many IR codes each IR enabled Module can save?
A. 255 Unique IR codes can be saved per IR enabled module like IR emitter or 9in1.
Q. Do we need to add “end of line resistor or terminator” when using Smart-BUS Mesh Network?
A. No, no need for end of line terminators.
Q. Can we Program the lighting channels manually by Hand like the Learn enable models of Clipsal?
A. Yes, sure you can program manually any (G4) Smart-BUS lighting module like Dimmers and Relays and pair the channel to any DDP or soft Button Panel switches. Once pairing is done, all characteristics of the module will also be active like: on/off/dim/ramp.
Q. Can we Program other devices manually by Hand and pair them to DDP (G4)?
A. Yes, sure. DDP can Pair direct to all the following: Dimmer, relay, Z-Audio2, HVAC2. And once pairing happen then all characteristics and functions are automatically activated like: on/off/temp/fanspeed/mode/songs/playlist/volume/play/stop/FW/BW...Etc.
Q. Can we Program manually or pair by hand the SBUS-Enabled motion sensors like : 9in1, 6in1 or 5in1 to light channel in the (G4 series)?
A. Yes, we are almost finished from this function, and it is being tested. Currently we are putting the default “ON” time as 7 minutes before circuit energy save if no motion is detected.
