1 Introduction Description The Wtrans B head transmitter with wireless data transmission is used in conjunction with a Wtrans re- ceiver for stationary or mobile acquisition of temperatures with RTD temperature probes or thermocou- ples. Alternatively, resistances of up to 10 kΩ or voltages of up to 50 mV and up to 20 mA using external shunt currents can be measured.

Preparing the transmitter 3 Preparing the transmitter Inserting/changing the battery CAUTION! Make sure that pollutants, moisture, and steam cannot enter the device. The device could be destroyed. When inserting/changing the lithium battery, make sure that the device is not exposed to contami- nants, moisture, or steam.

3 Preparing the transmitter If the battery was removed or if it must be replaced, proceed as follows: 1. Undo the battery lid screw (A) on the antenna-battery housing and open the housing lid (B). 2. Press on the battery in the area of the minus pole (D) to remove the battery (C). 3.
3 Preparing the transmitter Safety information concerning lithium batteries http://battery.jumo.info Battery operating life The battery service life, depending on the transmission interval (2 s, 15 s, 30 s, 90 s) and the ambient temperature, are shown in the following figure.
Transmission range 4 Transmission range General information about wireless transmission Wireless signals are electromagnetic waves, the signal of which weakens during travel from the trans- mitter to the receiver (this is referred to as path attenuation). The field strength drops inversely propor- tionally to the square of the distance between the transmitter and receiver.
4 Transmission range Possible impairment of radio transmission Collisions in case of too many transmitters When using a large number of transmitters, do not select a transmission interval that is too low, otherwise the radio channel will be unnecessarily occupied. A transmission interval that is too low leads to a very high data volume on the selected frequency, which can lead to collisions with other transmitters.
Page 19
4 Transmission range For this reason, we recommend using a maximum of 16 transmitters for the smallest transmission inter- val of 1 s. For the factory setting of 15 s, a considerably larger number of transmitters can be used. Estimating the maximum number of transmitters If more than the recommended 16 transmitters are to be used with a transmission interval of 1 s, select a higher transmission interval to prevent an increased error quota.
Mounting 5 Mounting Information about fastening, mounting, and arrangement NOTE! Install the antenna-battery housing vertically to the top and, if possible, with free view to the receiver an- tenna. NOTE! Never cover or coat the antenna-battery housing with metallic objects. Otherwise, the transmitter range is impaired.
5 Mounting Installing the antenna-battery housing Proceed as follows to install the antenna-battery housing: 1. Route the voltage supply socket (B) and SMB antenna socket (C) of the antenna-battery housing (A) through the opening (G) of the connection head (H). 2.
5 Mounting Installing the transmitter Proceed as follows to install the transmitter: 1. Let all connection cables hang out of the terminal head. 2. Insert the transmitter (A) into the terminal head (D). 3. Fit the transmitter (A) in the terminal head (D) using the screws and pressure springs (included in the delivery scope).
5 Mounting Aligning the antenna The recommended and unfavorable antenna alignment possibilities are shown in the following figure. The best possible reception is ensured when the recommended alignment possibilities are used. Recommended installation: Connection head vertical and antenna-battery housing vertical to the top Recommended installation: Connection head horizontal and antenna-battery housing vertical to the top...

7 Setup program Term definition Transmitter ID The transmitter ID is an unmistakable ID with max. 5 characters which is recognized by the receiver. The ID can be individually changed, for example, to achieve a better overview of a system. Ensure that an ID is not used simultanously by two transmitters within the reception range to avoid malfunctions.
