WTDL-RX

Product Notes

Model WTDL-RX is designed with a high powered transceiver that has a
substantially long transmission range, meaning better performance in occluded
environments (ovens, refrigerators, etc.). This WTDL-RX also includes an external
antenna, allowing more flexibility with mounting positions in both orientation
and proximity to metal walls. This may be used as a repeater, or directly plugged
into the PC.

Transmission Distance

The WTDL-RX transmits to other WTDL-RXs up to 2500 feet maximum typical
outdoors/line of sight, 700 feet maximum typical indoors/urban. The WTDL-RX
transmits to data loggers up to 2000 feet maximum typical outdoors/line of
sight, 500 feet maximum typical indoors/urban. The WTDL-RX can connect
to a maximum of 64 data loggers. The WTDL-RX transmits on a frequency of

2.405GHz - 2.475GHz.

Operating Environment

The WTDL-RX is rated for use in an environment with temperatures from -20°C
to 85°C and a humidity range of 0% to 95% RH non-condensing. The WTDL-RX

is rated IP40 and is protected against solids that are greater than 1mm in size.
This device is not water resistant.

LEDs

The red LED indicates that the device has power. The green LED will blink when
communicating with other Dwyer WTDL devices.

Installation Guide

Installing the Software

Insert the DL700 Software Flash Drive into an open USB port on a Windows PC. If
the autorun does not appear, locate the drive on the computer and double click
on Autorun.exe. Install the Dwyer Software and USB Interface Drivers (under
Drivers and Third Party Tools). The software can also be downloaded from
www.dwyer-inst.com.

Channel Programming

The WTDL-RX transmits data on the 2.4GHz band, channel 11. Each Dwyer
Wireless Data Logger and WTDL-RX has a set of dip switches with which the
channel may be programmed.

Any Dwyer WTDL Data Logger or WTDL-RX that is on the same network is
required to use the same channel. If they are not on the same channel, the
devices will not communicate with one another.
