- Page 3 Configuration, authentication and operation are covered in other documents. Honeywell does not recommend using devices for critical control where there is a single point of failure or where single points of failure result in unsafe conditions. OneWireless is targeted at open loop control, supervisory control, and controls that do not have environmental or safety consequences.

Page 18: Bracket Mounting
Bracket mounting Orientation The WCX Series sensor may be mounted in any vertical, horizontal or angled orientation. The main consideration is to facilitate coupling of the valve or other device to the input shaft of the sensor. For best signal, it is generally recommended that the antenna be oriented vertically (see section 4). -
Page 19: Attach Sensor To Valve
2. Sensor Mounting 2.4. Bracket mounting Attach sensor to valve Figure 5 shows a "U" shaped mounting bracket specifically fabricated to allow mounting of the sensor above a valve. This allows the sensor input shaft to be coupled to the valve shaft, permitting easy manual activation of the valve. -

2. Sensor Mounting 2.4. Bracket mounting Attach sensor to bracket Align appropriate mounting holes in sensor with holes in bracket and secure the sensor to the bracket with bolts and washers as needed. Use a backing plate for added strength as needed Brackets and mounting hardware are user-supplied. -
Page 21: Process Insertion
Use care to avoid rotating the input shaft, causing the internal slip clutch to slip. Proximity to high powered L-band transmitters The WCX Series sensor system operates in the 2.4 Ghz. frequency band using an encrypted, spread- spectrum data modulation, with very high immunity to interference from other signals. Other devices using low powered signals in this frequency range are some cordless telephones, personal computer WI-FI links and routers, and video/audio remote transmission links. -
Page 22: Linkage Alignment
3. Process Insertion 3.2. Linkage Alignment Linkage Alignment Axis of valve and sensor input shaft To allow smooth rotation, the axis of the valve or device must be parallel to the centerline of the sensor input shaft, unless a flexible form of linkage (cables or ball joints) is used. Alignment of linkage If cables or ball joint couplings are not used, the linkage used must form a 90 degree angle with the sensor input shaft and the valve shaft. -
Page 23: Coupling With Pulleys
3. Process Insertion 3.2. Linkage Alignment Figure 7 Parallelogram formed by linkage A second alternative method for achieving measurement linearity would be to mount the sensor directly above the valve shaft (see Section 2.4). Coupling with pulleys Instead of linkages, two small pulleys with steel cable could couple the two shafts. A means of maintaining cable tension would be needed. -
Page 24: Non-Valve Applications
3. Process Insertion 3.3. Non-Valve Applications Figure 8 Changing CW into CCW If an angle greater than 270 degrees is to be measured, the length of the valve arm may be reduced. If a small angle is to be measured with greater precision, the length of the valve arm may be increased. Note that these two options will make actual angle measurements non-linear. -
Page 25: Antenna Adjustment And Mounting
ATTENTION Federal Communications Commission (FCC): The WCX Series Valve Position Sensors comply with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. -

4. Antenna Adjustment and Mounting 4.2. Integral antenna Elbow Figure 9 Elbow antenna adjustment If your model has the integral elbow antenna you can adjust it to improve reception. The least signal radiation is in a direction in line with the top (pointed end), so it is best to avoid having the antenna pointed directly toward, or directly away from, the multinode. -
