STW-6010 and THW-1102
INTRODUCTION
Complete the following steps to mount a KMC
STW-6010, STW-6014, or THW-1102 wireless
sensor and connect it to a Conquest™ HPO-
9007NW or HPO-9007DW gateway.
KMC recommends charging up the sensors,
configuring them near the gateway, and testing
them (for signal strength, etc.) in the intended
locations BEFORE permanently mounting them.
Read carefully the following sections BEFORE
attempting installation.

NOTE: The sensor begins operation as soon as
the solar cell has charged the internal
energy storage device. Under normal
operating conditions this should be no
more than a few minutes. However, if the
sensor has been in dark storage for 36
months or more (deeply discharging the
energy storage), it may take several days
(depending on ambient light intensity)
for the circuit to become fully charged
and operational. Expose the sensor
to adequate light sources well before
installation as needed.
NOTE: Because the wireless sensors normally
transmit only several times per hour
to conserve power, allow at least 30
minutes for transmissions to be received
and all the relevant object values to be
updated when verifying normal operation.
NOTE: Sensors only transmit. They do not receive
signals from a gateway.
NOTE: See the
other information.
SELECT MOUNTING LOCATION
Installation Factors
Proper mounting location for wireless, solar-
powered sensors is far more critical than for
traditional wired sensors. When picking a location
to mount the sensor, the installer must be aware
of optimal placement regarding all three of the
following factors:
