WSG30 Users Manual ChAptER 1: iNtRodUCtioN Congratulations on your purchase of the Sensaphone WSG30. This device can work with up to 30 Wireless sensors to monitor Temperature, Humidity, Water on the floor, Power, Dry Contacts, and 4-20mA signals. The sensors use mesh networking technology to create multiple communication paths between the sensors and the WSG30 to ensure reliable communications.
ChAptER 2: iNStALLAtioN phYSiCAL dESCRiptioN The WSG30 is housed in a plastic 7.6”w x 5.1”h x 2.0”d enclosure and is suitable for wall mounting. dEvICE layout The front panel contains an 80 character LCD and a push button keypad. The top of the unit has an antenna connector and the bottom contains the power and Ethernet connections.
Wireless sensors. wall mount InstallatIon The WSG30 can be wall mounted using (4) #6 screws. Drywall anchors may be used if necessary. Follow the steps below: 1) Hold the enclosure up to the wall and mark the location of either the 2 keyholes or the 4 mounting holes with a pencil.
4) Unplug the Power Supply, then press OK (Enter). BattERy REplaCEmEnt The WSG30 uses one (1) 6V 1.3AH rechargeable battery (included) for backup power in the event that main power fails. The unit will constantly recharge the battery. In the event you need to replace the battery, be sure to use battery part # BAT-0020 (see Appendix C: Accessories) to ensure compatibility.
Disable DHCP and set a fixed IP address. Enter the Gateway, Subnet Mask and DNS settings as well. The Wireless channel will default to 1. If you have more than one WSG30, you must set a different channel number for each. Click Save when finished.
There are three additional methods listed below to configure the network settings in the WSG30 . These all assume that you do not have a DHCP server and, as a result, the WSG30 has configured itself to the default address of 192.168.1.250. Note that all three options below require you to modify the Network settings on your computer.
ChAptER 4: CoNFigURiNg WiRELESS SENSoRS The WSG30 allows you to configure up to 30 wireless sensors. Sensors are available to monitor a variety of environmental conditions - see Appendix B for a complete list. A successful installation will require some planning to make sure everything will work smoothly. The WSG30 and sensors utilize mesh networking technology to ensure reliable wireless communications, but this requires that you follow a few rules during the setup process.

At least two sensors will have to be configured as routers. The routers should be located an equal distance between the farthest sensor and the WSG30, and centrally located to minimize the distance between sensors in the general area of the router and the WSG30. The routing sensors should be added to the system first.
At least three sensors will have to be configured as routers. The routers should be located an equal distance between the farthest sensor and the WSG30, and centrally located to minimize the distance between sensors in the general area of the router and the WSG30. The routing sensors should be added to the system first.
In end-point mode the sensor consumes minimal power, which allows it to run on batteries. In router mode the sensor will form a wireless network with the WSG30 and other sensors to increase communi- cation reliability and extend the range of your sensor network. In router mode you must use an external power supply, in which case the batteries serve as back-up power in the event of a power failure.
The web page can be accessed by opening your internet browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, …) and entering the IP address of your WSG30 (see the Network Configuration section in Chapter 1 for assistance). The menu items along the blue bar at the top of screen will help you locate specific programming parameters and features.
SMTP port number in the event that your internet service provider is using a nonstandard port. Port 25 is the standard port number, but 587 is also becoming more common as well. Note that the WSG30 will not work with SMTP servers that require TLS or SSL encryption. As a result, it will not work with web-based e-mail providers such Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo!Mail, or AOL.

Mode: This setting specifies the operating mode of the sensor. An Endpoint will periodically send its data back to the WSG30 based on the programmed sampling rate and then go to sleep. An Endpoint can be battery powered for up to two years. A Router will act as a wireless network node which will expand the range of your sensor network.
Page 24
Alarm Reset Time: This is the time allowed for an alarm’s fault condition to be corrected before the WSG30 resets (reactivates) the alarm and begins the message delivery process all over again. It is recom- mended that this be set to no lower than 30 minutes to prevent numerous messages from being sent.
• If you log 15 sensors at the same interval, the WSG30 will store 238,000 samples of each sensor • If you log 30 sensors at the same interval, the WSG30 will store 243,000 samples samples of each sensor Once the datalogger is full it will start overwriting the oldest records.
A check mark indicates that alarm delivery is active for that time period. ContaCt pRogRammIng The WSG30 allows you to program up to 4 Contacts per Profile. The Contacts can be either: E-mail, SMS-Text Message, or SNMP Trap. Each contact can have a programmable Schedule so that you only receive messages when your Contact schedule is enabled.
Chapter 6: History ChAptER 6: hiStoRY This chapter explains how to query the Event and Data Log History. The Event Log is a time-stamped list of system events such as System Startup, Alarm Detection, Message Delivery, … The Data Log contains time stamped records of the input values.
Before you power-up the sensor you must enter the serial number, located on the small white label inside the sensor enclosure, into the WSG30. You can do this with the WSG30 web page or you can enter it using the WSG30 keypad (see Sensor Registration earlier in this manual). Just be sure to jot down the serial number before you attach the sensor to the wall.

Install the batteries. Re-attach the top and cover. Power suPPly wIrIng (router Mode) When using your wireless sensor in Router mode, you must use an external power supply (Sensaphone Part #XFR-0041). This is required because router mode uses more power than can be supplied by batteries alone for an extended period of time.

WSG30 Users Manual 24 Vdc Power suPPly The Wireless 4-20mA sensor has a internal 24 VDC power supply that is intended to be used to power your 4-20mA transducer. It can provide up to 30mA of current. If your transducer does not require an external power supply then you can disable the 24V supply in the sensor by moving the 24VDC jumper on the circuit board to the OFF position.

Wireless signal must travel through several obstructions, the sensor should be located within 300’ of the WSG30 or within 300’ of a sensor/router. Use a pencil to mark the hole locations at the top and bottom of the housing. Install the drywall anchors (if necessary) to the wall.
Insert the Low (4mA) and High (20mA) values for your transducer into the Table Low and Table High fields. The WSG30 will display the scaled value. You may wish to include the units of measure in the Units field.
