1) Description
The Wireless Monitoring System is a inexpensive alternative to traditional wireless systems for
transferring contact closure status between one or more sites. Especially if any of the sites are not
within line of sight of a master station. Traditional wireless system will require repeaters or mounting
the antenna on a high tower. Both increase the cost of an installation. If there are zoning restrictions or
neighbored associations installing a tower or repeater may not be an option.
The WMS uses a different approach to wireless communications. Each WMS uses Mesh Networking
to communicate between sites. With Mesh Networking, every site is repeater. As long as each site
has another site with line of sight, all sites may communicate with each other. This allows the WMS to
get around obstructions without adding a tower or repeater.
Hill; Building; or
Other Obstruction
Site A
Site B
Traditional Wireless
Site A needs to transfer a contact to and from
Sites B and C. However, due to an obstruction,
Site A can only transfer to Site B and not Site C.
Simple to use - They work right of the box – simply connect up the Power, Inputs and Outputs, then
set one or two switches. No configuration software is required.
The WMS also uses a NEMA rated enclosure for harsh environments. You don't need an extra
enclosure to protect the WMS. All wiring is done inside the box, and when exit points are properly
sealed, IP66 level protection is provided against dust and water incursion.
Whether your requirement is to transfer contact closure data between two or more locations then the
Wireless Monitoring System is definitely for you.

Mesh Network
Site A needs to transfer a contact to and from
Sites B and C. But unlike Traditional Wireless,
a Mesh Network can work without line of sight
to all sites. The signal intended for Site C is
not sent directly to Site C, but is received by
Site B and automatically forwarded to Site C.
Without additional hardware.

    Remote WMS, WMS5026-2. See WSD20166-43 for Base Station WMS, WMS5026-1. Field wiring are terminated with screw terminals inside the WMS, which allows the WMS to be used without an external enclosure. A total of 10 status indicators provides instant operational status. 7 General system status and 3 I/O status.

    5. If possible, use extra WMSs in place of towers and long coax cable runs. If you find you can not get around a obstruction without a tower, try setting up a WMS to the side of the object. If you still need a tower, try putting a WMS with a external antenna at the top of the tower rather than running coax cable up the tower.
