About This Document
This document describes preparation, operation and maintenance of the WCX Series Valve Position Sensor and
antennas. Mounting and installation are covered in other documents.
Honeywell does not recommend using devices for critical control where there is a single point of failure or where
single points of failure result in unsafe conditions. OneWireless is targeted at open loop control, supervisory
control, and controls that do not have environmental or safety consequences. As with any process control solution,
the end-user must weigh the risks and benefits to determine if the products used are the right match for the
application based on security, safety, and perfo rmance. Additionally, it is up to the end-user to ensure that the
control strategy sheds to a safe operating condition if any crucial segment of the control solu tion fails.

Note: These are for reference only. See Section 2 for actual
approvals
The Canadian Standards mark means the equipment has been
tested and meets applicable standards for safety and/or
performance.
The Ex mark means the equipment complies with the requirements
of the European standards that are harmonised with the 94/9/EC
Directive (ATEX Directive, named after the French "ATmosphere
EXplosible").
For radio equipment used in the European Union in accordance
with the R&TTE Directive the CE Mark and the notified body (NB)
identification number is used when the NB is involved in the
conformity assessment procedure. The alert sign must be used
when a restriction on use (output power limit by a country at certain
frequencies) applies to the equipment and must follow the CE
marking.
The C-Tick mark is a certification trade mark registered to ACMA
(Australian Communications and Media Authority) in Australia under
the Trade Marks Act 1995 and to RSM in New Zealand under
section 47 of the NZ Trade Marks Act. The mark is only to be used
in accordance with conditions laid down by ACMA and RSM. This
mark is equal to the CE Mark used in the European Union.
N314 directly under the logo is Honeywell’s unique supplier
identification number.

1. Introduction
1.1 Purpose
This manual describes the Honeywell OneWireless WCX Series Valve Position Sensor function, operation
and maintenance.
1.2 Scope
The manual includes:
• Details of topics that relate uniquely to the Honeywell WCX Series Valve Position Sensor,
• This manu al does not cover installation, mounting, or wiring. See XYR 6000 Wireless Valve Position
Sensor, Model WCX Series Quick Start Guide (document 50040850).
1.3 OneWireless Network Overview
OneWireless is an all-digital, serial, two-way communication mesh network that interconnects industrial
field sensors to a central system.
1. 0BIntroduction
1.1. Purpose
OneWireless has defined standards to which field devices and operator stations communicate with one
another. The communications protocol is built as an "open system" to allow all field devices and
equipment that are built to OneWireless standard to be integrated into a system, regardless of the device
manufacturer. This interoperability of devices using OneWireless technology is to become an industry
standard for automation systems.
1.4 About the Sensor
The WCX Series Valve Position Sensor is furnished with OneWireless interface to operate in a compatible
distributed OneWireless system. The sensor will interoperate with any OneWireless-registered device.
The sensor includes OneWireless electronics for operating in a 2.4GHz network. It features function block
architecture.
Input
The WCX Series Valve Position Sensor supports no electrical signal inputs.
The sensor measures a mechanical angular position and transmits a digital output signal proportional to the
measured value. Figure 1 shows the functional diagram.
See the product label for applicable approvals and ratings.

This section contains the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), Industry Canada (IC) and Radio
Frequency compliance statements for the OneWireless Multinode device.
ATTENTION
WCX Series Valve Position Sensor units must be professionally installed in
accordance with the requirements specified in the OneWireless XYR6000 Agency Compliance Professional Installation Guide.
FCC compliance statements
• This device complies with Part 15 of FCC Rules and Regulations. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference and (2) this device must
accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
• This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can
radiate radiofrequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with these instructions, may
cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area
is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference
at his own expense.
2. 1BSpecifications
2.3. Agency Compliance Information
•Intentional or unintentional changes or modifications must not be made to the Multinode unless under
the express consent of the party responsible for compliance. Any such modifications could void the
user’s authority to operate the equipment and will void the manufacturer’s warranty.
IC compliance statements
• To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen
that the equivalent isotropic radiated power (EIRP) is not more than that permitted for successful
communication.
• Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation
of the device.
• This Class A digital apparatus co mplies with Canad ian ICES-003.
• French: Cet appareil numérique de la classe A est conforme à la norme NMB-003 du Canada.
Radio Frequency (RF) statement
To comply with FCC’s and Industry Canada’s RF exposure requirements, the following antenna
installation and device operating configurations must be satisfied.
• Remote Point-to-Multi-Point antenna(s) for this unit must be fixed and mounted on outdoor permanent
structures with a separation distance between the antenna(s) of greater than 20cm and a separation
distance of at least 20cm from all persons.
• Remote Fixed Point–to-Point antenna(s) for this unit must be fixed and mounted on outdoor
permanent structures with a separation distance between the antenna(s) of greater than 20cm and a
separation distance of at least 100cm from all persons.
• Furthermore, when using integral antenna(s) the Multinode unit must not be co-located with any other
antenna or transmitter device and have a separation distance of at least 20cm from all persons.
2.4. Honeywell European (CE) Declaration of Conformity (DoC)
European Union restriction
France restricts outdoor use to 10mW (10dBm) EIRP in the frequency range of 2,454-2,483.5 MHz.
Installations in France must limit EIRP to 10dBm, for operating modes utilizing frequencies in the range of
2,454 – 2,483.5MHz.
