The NI WSN-3202 is a four-channel, low-power, wireless voltage input device that works with other
NI WSN-32xx nodes and gateways to form a wireless sensor network. The NI WSN system consists of
one or more NI WSN gateways, up to 36 NI WSN-32xx nodes per gateway, and multiple PCs or
Programmable Automation Controllers (PACs) to receive and analyze the distributed sensor data. For
more information about PACs, visit ni.com.

The NI WSN-3202 device can be powered on by either an external power supply or four AA alkaline
batteries. Refer to the Specifications section for details about the input power and battery requirements.
If both battery and external power are connected, the NI WSN-3202 functions from the external power
input. The device is designed to provide battery backup in the event of loss of external power and will
automatically switch to battery power when external power is lost.
Installing Batteries
To install batteries in the NI WSN-3202 device, complete the following steps:
1.Loosen the battery compartment retention screw and remove the compartment cover, as shown in
Figure 11.
1 Battery Retention Screw
Figure 11. NI WSN-3202 Battery Compartment
Caution Using the incorrect battery type causes an explosion risk. Do not use rechargeable batteries.
Refer to the Battery Replacement and Disposal section for information about how to dispose of used
batteries.
Note When using the NI WSN-3202 device on battery power, you should configure the device as
an end node so that it sleeps most of the time. Running a device configured in router mode from
battery power greatly reduces the battery life. The device ships from the factory configured as an end
node. For more information about how to switch the node from end mode to router mode, refer to
Configuring WSN in MAX, available from Start»All Programs»National Instruments»NI-WSN.
2.Install four AA alkaline batteries in to the device, making sure to install them with the correct
polarity. Figure 13 shows the battery polarity markings inside the device battery compartment.
3.Reinstall the battery compartment cover and tighten the retention screw.
Connecting External Power to the NI WSN-3202 Device
To connect an external power supply to the NI WSN-3202, complete the following steps:
1.Remove the 2-position mini-combicon plug from the device, loosening the retaining screws if
necessary.
Figure 12. 2-Position Mini-Combicon Plug
2.Connect the external power supply positive lead to the V terminal.
3.Connect the negative (common) lead to the C terminal.
4.Reinstall the 2-position mini-combicon plug in the device and tighten the retaining screws.
Caution You must use a UL Listed ITE power supply marked LPS with the NI WSN-3202.

The NI WSN-3202 analog ground is internally connected to the digital ground. Avoid introducing
common-mode errors in the analog measurement by using separate ground wires for the analog and
digital signals, as shown in Figure 16.
Figure 16. Recommended Method of Separating Analog and Digital Ground Wires
If the analog and digital signals must share a common ground wire, as shown in Figure 17, use a larger
wire gauge to reduce this error as much as possible. The screw terminal can accept up to 14 AWG wire.
To minimize measurement error use a thick wire for the ground connection.

NI WSN-3202 device. Refer to the Specifications section to ensure compatibility. The Drive High Only
and the Drive High and Low modes require an external power supply connected to the DIO PWR
terminal.
The following sections discuss how to configure the NI WSN-3202 device for different types of input
and output and how to connect external devices to the NI WSN-3202 DIO terminals.
Connecting Sourcing Digital Outputs
You must connect an external power supply to the NI WSN-3202 to source digital outputs. This power
supply provides the current for the devices you connect to the NI WSN-3202. Connect the power supply
positive lead to DIO PWR terminal and the power supply negative lead to one of the D GND pins.
The DIO PWR terminal on the NI WSN-3202 is internally connected to each digital channel. You can
connect only one external voltage supply to the device. Refer to the Specifications section for
information about the power supply voltage range.
Note You must use 2-wire ferrules to create a secure connection when connecting more than one
wire to a single terminal on the NI WSN-3202.
You can connect sourcing digital outputs to the NI WSN-3202 in either Drive High Only Mode or Drive
High and Low Mode. In either mode, connect the device to DIO.x and connect the device common to
the D GND terminal closest to that DIO.x terminal.
Drive High Only Mode
In Drive High Only Mode, the DIO.x terminal is driven to the voltage supplied to DIO PWR when you
turn on the channel. Writing a digital value of 1 turns on the channel, and 0 turns off the channel. The
channel is high impedance (refer to the Digital Input (Tristate Mode) specification) when the channel is
turned off (0). Use this mode for devices that require high side drive or a sourcing output.
Figure 20. Connecting a Device to the NI WSN-3202 in Drive High Only Mode
In Drive High and Low mode, the DIO.x terminal is driven to the voltage supplied to DIO PWR when
you turn on the channel, and is driven to D GND when you turn off the channel. Writing a digital value
of 1 turns on the channel, and 0 turns off the channel.
Figure 21. Connecting a Device to the NI WSN-3202 in Drive High and Low Mode
Connecting Sinking Digital Outputs
Drive Low Only Mode
In Drive Low Only mode, the DIO.x terminal is pulled to D GND when you turn on the channel. Writing
a digital value of 0 turns on the channel, and 1 turns off the channel. The channel is high impedance
when the channel is turned off (1). Use this mode for devices that require low side drive or a sinking
output.

Use this mode to configure the channel as digital input, or for contact to ground sensing, as shown in
Figure 23. In Tristate mode, when DIO.x terminal is read, a weak pull-up resistor to internal 3.3 V is
enabled for about 1 ms.
Figure 23. Example of Using the NI WSN-3202 in Tristate Mode
Digital I/O Protection
Each digital I/O channel has overcurrent protection specifically to prevent damage due to short circuit
faults.
Understanding Short Circuit Protection
A short circuit fault at the DIO.x terminal may cause a resettable fuse internal to the digital I/O channel
to increase in resistance preventing damage to the equipment. Whether the fuse increases in resistance
depends on factors such as the current level, the temperature, and power supply voltage. High inrush
currents that exist for a short time do not trip the fuse. Refer to the Specifications section for more
information about the maximum continuous output current, short circuit behavior, and short circuit trip
time.
Preventing an Overcurrent Condition
Follow these recommendations to prevent an overcurrent condition:
•Do not exceed the output current rating of the channel.
•Do not ground unused terminals.

If the node has detected an overcurrent condition, it immediately stops driving the DIO line, goes
to a safe power down state, and blinks a four blink error code. The node must be manually reset or
power-cycled to resume operation. A DIO line can be in overcurrent if it is driving high, or driving low,
but not if it is tristated. To identify which DIO line tripped the overcurrent protection, set all the DIO
lines to tristate and one by one set them to the desired drive mode and value until the protection is
tripped.
Resetting Channels After an Overcurrent Condition
After you have identified and removed the cause of the overcurrent condition, to resume normal
operation, you must reset the node by pressing the RESET button or by removing and reapplying power
to the node.
