Building Automation System Gateway
The Wireless Sensor Building Automation System Gateway (WSG) is the device that receives data from the wireless
sensor nodes and interfaces to a BAS through industry standard protocols. The gateway is also used to configure the sensor nodes
prior to deployment. Each gateway supports 26 Network IDs and 100 wireless sensors. The 58-G1-xxxx supports 4
communication channels in the 2.4GHz ISM band.
The WSG has integrated mounting flanges and can be mounted to surfaces such as wood or drywall with appropriate
screws. Avoid mounting the gateway directly to a metal surface as this can affect wireless reception. If mounting on a metal sur-
face is the only option, it is recommended to insert non-metallic material of at least 1/4" between the gateway and metal surface to
create a stand-off distance. The gateway can be powered by 24VAC or 24VDC. (58-PS-24V-T 24VDC power supply sold separate-
ly.) Conductor with the colored sleeve is (+) and terminates into the port on left labeled 24V; the un-sleeved conductor is the ground
and terminates into the middle port labeled Ground and right port is unused.
Gateway Configuration
Note - see page 2-7 above in order to install the USB driver and HyperTerminal. This MUST be completed in order for a PC to com-
municate to a gateway. Each WSG BAS gateway is pre‐configured with a Network ID and a communication channel. The Network
ID can be changed as needed, or to configure a gateway as a redundant node for higher availability BAS operation. The gateway is
configured through two ports as follows:
Parameter
Network ID
Communication Channel

Wireless Sensor System
Configuration Port
USB port - "PC INTERFACE"
There are 26 pre-set values for the Network ID designated by the letters A-Z.
USB port - "PC INTERFACE"
There are 4 communication channels designated by numbers 1-4.
(The channels are based on the IEEE 802.15.4 standard.)
USB port - "SENSOR INTERFACE"
Sensors are configured (bound) to the gateway through a USB cable from the gateway
to the sensor node.
