Description
The Potter SignaLink™ Bridge is a fully supervised wireless bridge
designed to be attached to any non-explosion-proof dry contact sprinkler
monitoring devices. It removes the need to hard wire sprinkler devices
to each other, and operates on a 2.4 GHz frequency. Devices are able to
communicate with each other up to a maximum of 800'. All enclosures are
weather and UV resistant polycarbonate. There are no external antennas.
The antenna is incorporated into the circuit board of each device.
Transmitter Model WTX-M
The transmitter enclosure has a threaded nipple, O-ring and locking nut
for mounting directly to the conduit entrance of any dry contact device
not listed as explosion proof. The transmitter provides two flying leads
for connection to the normally open contacts of any listed dry contact fire
alarm device. The connection is supervised for opens and shorts using the
supplied 5.1k ohm End Of Line Resistor. The transmitter does not latch,
it follows the status of the sprinkler switch it is connected to. The unit is
powered by two (2) AA size 1.5 volt Lithium Iron/Disulfide batteries. The
device includes a cover tamper switch as well as an LED to indicate when
the battery meter has been reset. See fig 1.
Receiver Model WRX-R
The receiver contains a fail safe dry contact output than can be monitored
by any UL listed fire panel zone or monitor module. The receiver enclosure
has an opening for 1/2" conduit. The receiver follows the status of the
transmitter so there is no reset switch, no sounder and no need for human
intervention. The receiver can be powered by the auxiliary power of the
fire panel or UL 864 or UL 1481 listed 24 VDC supply with regulated
limited power output and battery backup. See ordering information on
page 10 for optional power supply. The receiver contains Individual
LEDs for; Power, Alarm/Supervisory, transmitter or repeater trouble,
Tamper, Communication Error, Low Battery and EOLR trouble to aid in
troubleshooting. See fig 2.
Repeater Model WR
The repeater can be powered by one 3.6 volt D size Lithium Thionyl
battery or by the auxiliary power of the fire panel or UL 864 or UL 1481
listed 24 VDC supply with battery backup. See ordering information on
page 10 for optional power supply. Per UL 864, if the repeater is powered
by batteries it must be dedicated to only one transmitter repeater pair. If the
Potter Electric Signal Company, LLC
repeater is powered by a listed supply it can support multiple transmitters.
The device includes a cover tamper, pry-off tamper switch, an LED to
indicate when it is transmitting, and an LED to aid in resetting the battery
meter, see fig 3. For mounting to a post, use the optional post mounting kit
#0090221, see fig 6.

Summary of Contents for Potter SignaLink WSS

  • Page 1 Eliminates the need for extensive wiring/conduits Important: This document contains important information on the installation and operation of the Potter SignaLink Wireless products. Please read all instructions carefully before beginning installation. A copy of this document is required by NFPA 72 to be maintained on site.
  • Page 2 The setup tool allows the installer to check for traffic on the default channel and if necessary, to change the channel. Potter wireless devices are factory set on channel 4. The installer may want to inquire if a wireless network is running at the facility and what channel it is and change the Potter devices to a different channel.
  • Page 3: Device Pairing

    Device Pairing The Potter wireless devices do not require any programming to operate. The only requirement is to pair together the devices that will communicate with each other on the network to form a wireless system. This can be accomplished in one of two ways.
  • Page 4: Installation

    For best transmission/reception of wireless communication, it may help to attempt to install the Transmitter in a position so that it is not completely obstructed from metal. Rotating the Transmitter enclosure so that it can “see” around the metal Potter device, pipe, valve, etc. may help communication.
  • Page 5: Battery Information

    The batteries may last longer than 7 days from the initial low battery signal. Additional life depends on temperature, signal strength and number of transmissions. It is possible to determine remaining battery capacity using the Potter Setup Tool.
