ZoneScanner:
Data Import

Mobile Commissioning App

Overview

This document describes the process of uploading ZoneScanner data to the Mobile Commissioning App.

The Avi-on ZoneScanner Tool enables electricians to automatically assign Avi-on devices to specific control zones during the installation process.

The ZoneScanner Tool is separate from the Mobile Commissioning App and does not require a login or username.

ZoneScanner data remains within the ZoneScanner Tool until it is uploaded to the Mobile Commissioning App or Avi-on Pro.

Once devices have been claimed within a location, the ZoneScanner import functionality of the Mobile Commissioning App creates groups for each zone, assigns devices to their respective groups, and renames devices to match the group prefix.

Definitions

  • Group: Devices that are part of a group can be operated as a unit.
  • Location: The system-level representation of the site where the installation is allocated. Accessing a location through Avi-on tools allows users to add, remove, and configure devices.
  • Zone: Represents a specific room or space within a location. Devices in that room/space should be scanned into the zone for later commissioning.
  • ZoneScanner Tool: An Avi-on tool that allows users to create zones and scan devices into them. Once devices are claimed, a simple import operation maps these zones and their devices into the Avi-on system.
PRO TIP: Users can use the Mobile Commissioning App to send invitations to the ZoneScanner Tool, or CLICK HERE if you don’t have an invitation
