1.2 Statement on FCC and CE Marking
1.2.1 FCC Marking
FCC ID: OUR-XBEEPRO IC #4214A-XBEEPRO
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions: 1.) This device may not cause harmful interference.
2.) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that
may cause undesired operation.
1.3 General Description & System Components
1.3.1 General Description
The UWRH-2 and UWRH-2-NEMA Wireless Relative Humidity transmitters
feature a stand-alone, compact, battery powered design that transmits
measurements back to a host receiver up to 90 m (300') away. When activated the
wireless transmitter will transmit readings continuously at pre set time interval
that was programmed by the user during the initial setup. Each unit measures
and transmits: Relative Humidity Reading, Ambient Temperature, RF Signal
Strength and Battery Condition to the receiver and is displayed on your PC
screen in real time using the provided software.
The UWRH-2-USCA and UWRH-2-NEMA-USCA transmitter models offer the
same features as the original versions, with the exception of achieving a higher
RF output signal as well as a greater RF signal range.

Channel Number
This sets a unique address number into your transmitter. Later, when you set
up your measurement software you will again set channel numbers to receive
readings from the corresponding unit(s). Each unit must be set for a different
channel number for your system to operate correctly.
NOTE:
If you will be using more than one receiver unit in your area
it is important to set the transmitter address numbers to be a
corresponding number in your TC-Central software.
Example Rate
For the first receiver: Set the channels on your transmitters
to 101, 102, 103, 104, etc. Then set the channels in your
TC-Central user software to match.
For the second receiver: Set the channels on your transmitters
to 201, 202, 203, 204, etc.
Then set the channels in your TC-Central user software to
match.
This numbering scheme can be expanded to match the
number of receivers you are using.

5.2.3 Installation
When installing your End Device it is important to position your device in such
a way as to optimize the antenna location within what’s known as the “Fresnel
Zone”.
The Fresnel Zone can be thought of as a football-shaped invisible tunnel between
two locations that provides a path for RF signals between your End Device and
your receiver.
Page 19
End Device Operation
END DEVICE
FRESNEL ZONE
Figure 17. Fresnel Zone

RECEIVER
ANTENNA
In order to achieve maximum range, the football-shaped path in which radio
waves travel must be free of all obstructions. Obstacles in the path (especially
metal) will decrease the communication range between your End Device and
receiver. Also, If the antennas are mounted just barely off the ground, over half
oftheFresnelzoneendsupbeingobstructedbytheearthresultinginsignicant
reduction in range. To avoid this problem, the antennas should be mounted high
enough off of the ground so that the earth does not interfere with the central
diameter of the Fresnel zone.
NOTE:
It is important to understand that the environment may
change over time due to new equipment or machinery being
installed, building construction, etc. If new obstacles exist
between your End Device and receiver, the devices can be
raised on one end or on both ends to hopefully clear the
Fresnel Zone of obstructions.
NOTE:
No co-location with other radio transmitters is allowed. By
definition, co-location is when another radio device or the
device’s antenna is located within 20 cm of your connector/
transmitter and can transmit simultaneously with your unit.
NOTE:
Never install multiple End Devices within 20 cm or less from
each other.
NOTE:
Never use your UWRH transmitter as a portable device.
Your unit has been designed to be operated in a permanent
installation only.

In some cases, a short RF cable may be used to connect an antenna to your end

transmitting signal strength. The longer the cable the more signal will be lost
over that cable. Because of this the length of the cable should be kept as short as
possible.

Section 6 - System Operation
6.1 Introduction
Compared to wired systems, a wireless system provides much simpler
installation. Based on the physical principle of the propagation of radio
waves, certain basic conditions should be observed. The following simple
recommendations are provided to ensure proper installation and correct
operation of your wireless system.
6.2 RF Communication Basics
The models UWRH-2 and UWRH-2-NEMA send wireless transmissions to
a receiver. The receiver checks the incoming data for accuracy and processes
this data for use by the measurement software on your PC. Radio signals are
electromagnetic waves, hence the signal becomes weaker the further it travels.
While radio waves can penetrate some solid materials like a wall, they are
dampened more than when a direct line-of-sight between the transmitting and
receiving antenna exist.
System Operation

6.3 Basic System Overview
A basic wireless RH system is comprised of only two main components; a signal
conditioner with a built-in battery powered 2.4 GHz radio transmitter, and a
USB powered 2.4 GHz radio receiver.

6.5 Transmit Rate vs. Battery Life
Many factors such as ambient temperature conditions and transmitting rate can
have a big effect on the life of the battery used in your end device. Transmitting
data places a big demand of the battery in your unit. The transmit rate is the single
most contributing factor in the life of your battery. The slower the transmit rate
you set, the longer the battery in your device will last. The table below give some
estimates on how long the battery should last vs. the transmit rate you selected
when you setup your end device and under normal operating conditions.
