Cause
Have (10) i2885-V-WL (Wireless Infinet) which need to be changed to regular RS-485 hard-wired (Infinet). How is this done?
Resolution
Simply flash any Infinet II –V VAV Controller from a wireless Infinet to a wired Infinet II or even to a wired BACnet or Wireless BACnet –VAV controller in just one step.
The –V VAV Series are the first Andover Continuum controllers to allow a change in the controller operating system with a simple firmware upgrade. The hardware model number doesn't change. For example, an 866-V will always be an 866-V, but through software that same 866-V can change in firmware from an i2866-V to a b3866-V-WL with one upgrade in the field.
Also, the i2 -V controller firmware type can be identified using two onboard LEDs (i.e. wired vs. wireless, BACnet vs. Infinet).
Notes:
- The Roam-IO2 cannot be used to flash a wireless controller to a wired one. The Roam-IO2 cannot communicate to a wireless controller.
- Non -V controllers should not be flashed in the field. Trying to do this runs the risk of turning the controller into a brick.
- To flash non-V controllers, send them to repair.
