Some connections require the use of the ZFRCBL wire 
harness. To use the ZFRCBL wire harness, make the 
connections as shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5. For 
more information on using the ZFRCBL accessory, 
refer to the

Installation Instructions (Part No. 24-10108-2)

Port Swap on Wireless-Enabled VMA1610/1620s

On the VMA1610/1620 models, when the 128 bit 
switch on the address DIP switch is turned ON (to 
enable wireless operation), the FC and SA bus are 
swapped internally. All connections that were SA bus 
(RJ-12 and terminal blocks) are now FC bus 
connections. The terminal block connections marked 
for the FC bus are now connected internally to the 
SA bus.

If you have an installation that calls for a wired IOM 
connected to the SA Bus of a wireless-enabled 
VMA1610/1620 field controller, connect the IOM to the 
FC Bus Terminals (which are really the SA Bus 
terminals on a VMA1610/1620 in wireless mode) as 
indicated in Figure 6 and Figure 7.

Note:

The VMA1615/1630 controller have RJ-12 

connectors on the FC bus and SA bus. These 
controllers do not require port swapping when in 
wireless mode.

SA Bus Products include the DIS1710 Local Controller Display, the MS-BTCVT-1 Wireless 
Commissioning Converter, and the NS Series (hard-wired) Network Sensors, Balancing Sensors, and 
Discharge Air Temperature Sensors.

2.

IOMs cannot be used in wireless mode to extend the IO of a field controller. You must always hardwire 
IOMs to their host field controller.

3.

Do not connect any device to the SA Bus/FC Bus terminal block when using the IOM with a ZFR1811.
