6. Installation
6.1 Before Installation
(1) What is the WD Wireless Network?
① About the WD Wireless Network
The WD wireless network operates on the IEEE802.15.4 (ZigBee) compliant 2.4 GHz frequency.
Although it runs on the same 2.4 GHz frequency as a wireless LAN (Wi-Fi), because it conforms to IEEE802.15.4 the WD
wireless network can operate without connecting to a wireless LAN. However, if the frequencies used overlap, the WD
wireless network could experience transmission delays and other communication issues.
The wireless communication is encrypted. The encryption standard used is AES-CCM (Advanced Encryption
Standard-Counter with CBC-MAC), with an encryption key of 128 bits.
② About Selecting a Wireless Channel
The WD wireless network uses 16 wireless channels (CH11 to CH26).
Select a wireless channel to avoid conflict with the frequency band of the LAN's wireless channel in your installation
environment.
The relationship between frequency bands of channels on the WD wireless network and on the wireless LAN is as follows.

③ Example Wireless Channel Selection
When the wireless LAN uses three channels (CH1, CH6, and CH11), select either CH15, CH20, CH25, or CH26.
In most cases selecting CH25 or CH26 will enable you to avoid the wireless LAN channels.
Wireless Data Acquisition System Instruction Manual
22
(2) About Grouping and ExtendedPanID
The WD system requires grouping each WD wireless network (one WDR with multiple connected WDT). You can define the
group by setting the ExtendedPanID property on the WDR and WDT to the same value. The ExtendedPanID consists of 16
single-byte, alphanumeric characters. Setup range: 0000 0000 0000 0000 to FFFF FFFF FFFF FFFE.
The following are examples of how you can set the ExtendedPanID and wireless channels for devices in multiple groups.
If there are multiple channels available for selection, you should use separate wireless channels for each group. By
distributing groups over multiple channels, you can reduce the payload concentrated on each wireless channel.
CAUTION
Prohibited
◆ When there are multiple WDR in your system, do not use duplicate ExtendedPanID values. The

(3) About the MAC Address
For identification, fixed addresses are assigned to WDT and WDR.
This address is called a MAC address (IEEE address).
The MAC address is printed on a nameplate on the back of the WDT.
The MAC address is printed on a nameplate on the back of the WDR.
(4) How many WDT you can connect to WDR
The number of WDT units you can connect to a WDR is limited by how often signal tower information is sent to the WDR.
Limit the number of WDT so that the WDR processes an average of about 120 times per minute. If you connect WDT so they
exceed this limit for the WDR, some of the signal tower information may not be able to reach the host PC.

6.2 About the Installation Environment
(1) Installation Environment Main Points
There are five essential points to consider at installation.
Item
Description
1
◆ There is no influence in radio waves at the installation site. Also, the radio waves at the installation site
should not change over time.
Refer to ☞ "6.2(1-1) About the Influence of Surrounding Radio Waves"
2
◆ The distance between devices (WDR, WDT) does not exceed recommendations.
Refer to ☞ "6.2(1-2) Distance Between Devices"
The recommended distance between all WDT and WDR is within line of sight.
3
◆ Line of sight between each device (WDR, WDT).
To ensure good line of sight, the location should not be cluttered and should be free of any obstacles.
Refer to ☞ "6.2(1-3) Ensuring Line of Sight”
4
◆ WDR placement is appropriate.
Install in a location as high as possible.
And away from obstacles that could disrupt radio waves.
Refer to ☞ "6.2(1-4) WDR Installation Position and Obstacles"
5
◆ Each device is always powered, and the mesh network is always available.
If power is not available for one of the WDT, the communication path could get interrupted and
information may not be transmitted.
Wireless Data Acquisition System Instruction Manual

(1-1) About the Influence of Surrounding Radio Waves
If the WD wireless network is affected by radio interference from electronics, microwave ovens, or other manufacturing
equipment, normal operation may not be possible. Check the radio wave environment before installation and confirm there is
no radio interference on the wireless radio bands you are planning to use.
Causes of Radio Interference
Description
Wireless devices
Wireless devices using the same frequency or nearby frequencies.
Noise from equipment
Noise caused by power supply circuits, electronic circuits, or oscillators.
Surrounding noise
Noise from motors and engine equipment.
Noise from power transmission lines, power supplies, and industrial
equipment.
Noise from microwave ovens, fluorescent lamps, and so on.
Surrounding obstacles*
Interference caused by fading of own radio waves.
* Various obstacles (wall, floor, ceiling, pillar, equipment) may exist in the installation environment. The reception
of radio waves changes depending on the relationship between the position of each device (WDR, WDT),
obstacles, and the surrounding environment. As shown in the figure below, radio waves transmitted from a
single point are delivered to each device (WDR, WDT) from multiple directions, such as when radio waves
travel in a direct line, and when radio waves reflect off obstacles. Radio wave interference could be caused by
this scenario, and operation may not be possible due to canceling radio waves.
When wireless LAN and in-house PHS access points are installed in the surrounding environment, install WDR so they are 5
to 10 m or more away from access points.
Wireless Data Acquisition System Instruction Manual
26
(1-2) Distance Between Devices
Place the WDT within a 20 m radius (recommended line-of-site distance) of the WDR.
If more distance is required, add another WDT.
(1-3) Ensuring Line of Sight
Good line of sight for each device (WDR, WDT) and free of any obstacles hereafter referred to as the Fresnel Zone - is
required. The Fresnel zone is a three-dimensional space, whose size is estimated as follows:
Line of sight L: 20 m ⇒ Fresnel zone diameter D: about 1.6 m
Line of sight L: 10 m ⇒ Fresnel zone diameter D: about 1.2 m
If you cannot set up the Fresnel zone, sometimes the available communication distance may be shorter than
usual due to obstacles inhibiting communication.
When installing on a metal plate or concrete wall, install the devices in the Fresnel zone so they are free of any obstacles.
Wireless Data Acquisition System Instruction Manual
27
(1-4) WDR Installation Position and Obstacles
When installing onto a pillar such as the I-beam in a building, install the WDR in a direction that promotes the propagation of
radio waves.
When storing the WDR in a box, use a resin box with radio wave permeability.
(2) About the Signal Tower Power Supply status
To operate the WDT, you need to constantly supply power to the LR series signal tower's power line.

Sets up five types of signal tower information (red, amber, green, blue, and white).
Wireless Data Acquisition System Instruction Manual
49
③ Maintain Signal Tower Status
When a transmission failure occurs between the signal tower signal input and the actual transmission, this function
temporarily retains the transmission information in the product.
Once communication is possible again, information that was retained is transmitted in sequential order from old to new.
The function can retain up to 32 units of information.
④ Mesh Network Transmission
Function that automatically connects the WDT over the optimum communication route to the WDR for transmitting the
information. A dense mesh status increases communication redundancy.
Mesh Status
⑤ Simple Counter Function
By using a pulse input on a single signal wire, count up the number of pulse inputs (increment 1 at a time) and store the
accumulated value (count) on the WDT.
At startup the count is 0 (initial value).
The value range of the count is 0 to 4,294,967,295.
Pulse inputs are determined using the following criteria.
CAUTION
◆ When the count exceeds the upper limit, the count returns to 1.
◆ When the power is shut down, the counter is cleared to 0.
◆ The signal tower information defined in the counter settings is not sent, regardless of changes in status (signal tower
information is treated as if the light is off and buzzer is off).

Flashing
When the signal input repeatedly changes "light on" to "light off" to "light on" to
"light off" and so on, the result is "flashing" and information is transmitted. You
can select from 3 different time periods in WDS-WIN01 before flashing is
determined.
Flashing (short)
Flashing (medium)
Flashing (long)
Light on
When the signal input status changes from "light off" to "light on", the result is
"light on" and information is transmitted.
Light off
When the signal input status changes from "light on" to "light off", the result is
"light off" and information is transmitted.
* Flashing is determined when there are two status changes within a defined period.
This period is called "SS seconds".
You can select "SS seconds" from three different time periods.
Flashing (short): SS seconds = 0.7 seconds
Flashing (medium): SS seconds = 1.5 seconds
Flashing (long): SS seconds = 2.5 seconds

CAUTION
◆ Maintain each of the signal tower's light off and light on states for 100 ms or longer. It is difficult to determine state
changes when they occur faster than 100 ms.
◆ When using normal determination and you need to change the input state of multiple signal towers at the same time,
the interval between these state changes need to be within 20 ms.
◆ When using normal determination and the input state of multiple signal towers change at different times, these state
changes should be longer than 100 ms of each other.

(3) Install, Initialize, and Change Settings Functions
① Display Communication Quality
You can use this product's display status indicator to determine the wireless communication status.
The indicator operates as follows.
Indicator Light
Wireless Connection Status
Green pulse
Indicates a good status.
This status indicates the product can communicate directly with the WDR without
relying on other WDT.
(If the WDT and WDR are close together (within tens of centimeters), WDT may
display a red pulse.
For an accurate display, use the units with a separation of about 1 m.)
Amber pulse
Direct wireless connection with the WDR is not good, but the connection with nearby
WDT is good.
If nearby WDT have a green pulse, the WDT will be used as a repeater for
communication.
Red pulse
Connection is not good with any WDR or WDT in the WD wireless network.
Red light
Product is waiting to join the WD Network.
Pulse is where the lamp fades between bright and dark repeatedly.
When the indicator light displays something other than the above, refer to ☞ "10.1 Troubleshooting".
② Display WDT Call
When the device receives a specific command from the host PC, the WDT indicator flashes blue for approximately
10 seconds. Display is also possible with a WDS-WIN01 operation.
③ Periodic Transmission
By setting DIP switch 4 ON, the WDT transmits the current signal tower status every 10 seconds.
If the frequency of signal tower information is low (a few times per hour), you can use this function so communication is more
stable than when using immediate transmission mode.
④ Initialization
Use this switch to reset all the settings in the main unit to their initial state. Initialized items and their initial settings are as
follows.

10. Troubleshooting
10.1 Troubleshooting
(1) WDT
Issue
Checklist
Indicator does not light up.
Check if the unit is installed correctly.
Even if the signal tower is ON all the time, power may not be
supplied to the WDT main unit. Correctly wire the power
supply for the signal tower.
The indicator flashes red (not pulsing).
Turn off the power on the WDT and turn on again.
If it continues to flash red, it may be an indication that the
settings are corrupted. Initialize the product and set up again.
The indicator does not change from a red
light to a red pulse.
Wireless connection with WDR is in progress.
Depending on the radio wave environment, it may take some
time to complete the connection. Check the indicator again
after about 5 minutes.
Check if the WDR is working properly.
The ExtendedPanID in the WDR must match the wireless
channel setting for a connection. Make sure the settings are
correct.
Check for any sources of noise (such as microwave ovens) in
the surrounding area that could impede wireless
communication.
The indicator flashes blue.
When the host sends a call command to the WDT, the
indicator flashes blue for a short period of time.
The indicator flashes alternating between
green and red
Starting up in initialization mode. If operations are normal, turn
off DIP switch 1 on the product.
The host cannot determine if the WDT is
available.
If a wireless connection cannot be completed, the host cannot
check if the WDT is available. Check if the indicator on the
target WDT is pulsing, to indicate connection is complete.
