Overview
The WaveLinx Area Controller (WAC) is the main component of the WaveLinx Connected Lighting system. WaveLinx 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 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 Mobile App and various WaveLinx devices to create communications and a building
ecosystem that provides out of the box functionality and leverages Cooper Lighting Solutions 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 (WaveLinx CORE
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 WACs can exist on a building LAN to scale the system to
hundreds of areas all accessible for setup, configuration and control through the WaveLinx Mobile App.
