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.

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.
