Pre-Installation This section provides the following pre-installation information: • Location considerations • Height requirements • Mounting surfaces • Address settings Location Considerations Placement of the sensor and the receiver is critical to proper operation. For most installations, barriers limit proper radio signal strength more than distance. For best radio transmission range and reliability, mount the receiver and sensor in line of sight.
Pre-Installation • High traffic areas (to reduce accidental damage or tampering) • Metal barriers between the receiver and the sensor (for example, plastered walls with metal lathe or metal roof decks) • Thick, solid concrete walls between the receiver and the sensor •...

Pre-Installation To set the receiver and sensor addresses: 1. Using a small screwdriver, set the three rotary address switches (locations S1, S2, S3) on the receiver to an address between 001 and 999 (see Figure 1). (You do not have to remove the covers to access the rotary address switches.) Note: Do not use 000 as an address.
Installation This section provides step-by-step installation instructions. Read through the pre- installation information before proceeding with installation. Important: It is recommended that you install the sensor set in the order presented in this section. Mounting the Receiver Back Plate To mount the receiver back plate: 1.
Installation Wiring the Receiver to the Unit Controller Power requirements and wiring instructions for the receiver are described in this section. Power Requirements The required power for the receiver is 24 Vac or 24 Vdc and less than 1 VA. The receiver is designed to be powered by the host unit controller.

Install the security screw into the bottom of the cover. Security screw Applying Power to the Receiver Restore power to the UCM.
Installation Observing the Receiver for Readiness to Associate After initial power up, the receiver conducts a channel scan for 20 seconds. During this time, the receiver selects from 16 available channels the clearest channel on which to operate. LED1, LED2, and LED3 flash rapidly in succession (round-robin style) while the channel scan is in progress, as shown in part 1 of the illustration.
Installation Associating the Sensor to the Receiver To associate the sensor to the receiver: 1. Remove the sensor cover by firmly pressing the thumb tab at the bottom of the cover and pulling the cover away from the back plate. 2.
WTS and WZS sensors.) Note: The LEDs will turn Off after 5 seconds to conserve battery strength. For model WDS, determine the signal strength and battery status by viewing the symbols on the sensor display. (See the illustration for model WDS sensors.) 3.
Installation Mounting the Sensor Back Plate To mount the sensor back plate: Hold the back plate against the mounting surface and mark the screw locations. 2. Secure the back plate against the mounting surface using included hardware. The figure shows an example of mounting the back plate of the sensor into sheetrock or plaster.

Installation Optional Features Displaying Setpoint or Temperature You can configure the sensor to display either the temperature (default) or setpoint. To select either option: 1. Verify that the sensor is in operating mode and at the home screen. 2. Press the up and down arrows for 3 seconds. The arrow indicates setpoint display, as shown in the illustration.
Installation 3. Press the left and right arrows for 4 seconds. Note: If you try to access a feature that is locked, the locked symbol will appear on the display. If you press a keypad button to try change a locked setting, the locked symbol will flash.
This section describes sensor operations. Temporary Occupancy (Timed Override) Temporary occupancy (timed override) is available on models WDS and WZS. Temporary occupancy is selected for after-business-hours adjustment of temperature setting, fan settings, or heat/cool settings, when the system has changed to unoccupied mode.
Operation Service Pin Request Model WZS and WDS sensors can communicate a service pin request to their associated receivers.

Flashing symbol indicates that approximately 14 days of operation remain before the battery is too weak to power the sensor.
If lithium batteries are temporarily unavailable, alkaline batteries can be used. However, alkaline battery life is very short by comparison. • The battery life for a model WDS may decrease with extended LCD display activity. Battery Installation WARNING Prevent Injury! Batteries can explode or leak and cause burns if installed backwards, disassembled, charged, or exposed to water, fire, or high temperature.
Maintenance and Troubleshooting 1. Observe the polarity indicators that are molded into the cover. 2. Install two batteries (of the type specified in “Battery Type, ” p. 40) in the battery- holding slot that is molded into the sensor cover. The sensor has been designed to prevent damage if the batteries are installed backwards, to reduce the potential for injury.
3. Apply power to the new device. Association between the new and the remaining devices will automatically occur. Notes: When replacing a WDS sensor, the receiver (version 1.5 or higher) will automatically configure the sensor to match the last stored configuration, if the sensor has not been placed into configuration mode and the factory default configuration is still valid.
Note: When checking signal strength, both LED1 and LED3 on the receiver and sensor illuminate in unison if the sensor and receiver are associated. Use this feature to confirm association. • Model WDS: Battery life (“Testing Battery Status, ” p. 34) and signal strength (“Testing Signal Strength, ” p.
