Application

The WT-ROUTER Router relays wireless
transmissions from a Johnson Controls® WT-4000
Series Pneumatic-to-Direct Digital Control (DDC)
Room Thermostat to other WT-ROUTER Routers or
to a Johnson Controls WT-BAC-IP Gateway. Adding
routers to a wireless mesh network enhances the
robustness of the network by extending the wireless
mesh communication range up to 750 ft (229 m).
In addition, the routers provide multiple routes of
communication with the gateway.

The WT-ROUTER Router installs in minutes with no
need to run network cables. An STS LED indicator
(Figure 1) allows for strategic positioning in areas with
reliable network connectivity. The router is powered by
a low-voltage 5 to 30 VDC power supply.

The WT-ROUTER Router is de signed for indoor,
intra-building applications only. The router uses
direct-sequence, spread-spectrum RF technology,
and operates on the 2.4 GHz Industrial, Scientific,
and Medical (ISM) band. The router also meets the
IEEE 802.15.4 standard for low power, low duty cycle
RF transmitting systems.

IMPORTANT: Use the WT-ROUTER Router only to
provide an input to equipment under normal
operating conditions. Where failure or malfunction of
the router could lead to personal injury or property
damage to the controlled equipment or other
property, additional precautions must be designed
into the control system. Incorporate and maintain
other devices, such as supervisory or alarm systems
or safety or limit controls, intended to warn of or
protect against failure or malfunction of the router.
