Testing Battery Status

Initiate a battery status test as follows:
• On the WZS, push the Test button on the sensor (see
location on Figure 60). LED5 on the sensor responds by
indicating the level of battery strength, as shown in the
table below.

LED5 on the receiver of all models (see
lights and stays constantly On when 24 V power is normal.

Check Signal Strength on a Site

Use the wireless sensor system to check the signal
strength on a site.
1. Power up a receiver with a 24 V transformer (user
supplied).
2. Associate the sensor to a receiver of the same model
intended for the job.
3. Place the receiver at the desired location.
4. Place or hold the sensor at the desired location.
5. Press the Test button (S5) on the sensor and observe
the signal strength as indicated by LED1, LED2, and
LED3 on model WZS (see
display on model WDS (see
For more information on interpreting the LEDs and the
display symbols that indicate signal strength, see

Battery Type
Battery Damage!
Failure to follow instructions below could result in
battery leakage and, in some cases, cause the safety
release vent to open.
Do NOT attempt to recharge the batteries. The batteries
are manufactured in a ready-to-use state and are NOT
designed for recharging.
Sensor Damage!
Do not attempt to hook up the sensor to a power
supply as it could result in sensor damage.
Use two non-rechargeable 1.5 V lithium AA batteries in the
sensor. To maintain UL rating, use only UL-listed lithium
batteries. The sensor ships with Energizer
already installed. Replacement batteries are available at
Trane Service Parts Centers (p/n X13770035010) or other
local suppliers.
Battery Life
Battery life is five years under normal conditions. If the
sensor is not used for an extended period of time, do one
of the following:
• Set the sensor address to 000 to place the sensor into
a low-power hibernation mode.
• Remove the batteries.
