Product Description

The Room Sensor Transceiver (RSX) allows
wireless communication between the Terminal
Equipment Controller (TEC) and Wireless Room
Sensor (WRS). The RSX is mounted at or near the
TEC and is powered by 24 Vac. The RSX is
connected to the TEC using the RSX/TEC
connection cable. The antenna can be mounted
directly to the radio or mounted remotely for
installations where the location of the RSX causes
the antenna to be shielded—for example, when the
RSX is mounted inside a TEC enclosure.

CAUTION:

Equipment damage or loss of
data may occur if you do not
follow the procedures as
specified.

Expected Installation Time

10 minutes

Required Tools and Materials

• Electro-static discharge wrist strap

• Small flat-blade screwdriver

• Cordless drill/driver set

Prerequisites

• All wiring must conform to NEC and local
codes and regulations.

• 24 Vac Class II power source is available
with enough power to support RSX (RSX
draws 1.2 VA).

• Metal Oxide Varistors (MOVs) must be used
for TECs that switch high voltage devices.

For details, see the FSN for Terminal

Equipment Controllers (TECs) Failing when
Switching High Voltage Powered Devices.

• Any application-specific hardware or device
is installed.

563-008 Remote Mount Antenna

Transceivers do not come with antennas.
Antennas must be ordered separately.

Antenna Mounting

Direct Mount Antenna

The preferred mounting configuration is to mount the
RSX outside the TEC enclosure in a location where
it will establish the communication link with its
associated WRS. For example, in a VAV application
this is typically on the bottom of the VAV box in the
ceiling plenum, with the entire antenna extending
downwards below the VAV box (

Figure 2).

VAV BOX

Remote Mount Antenna

The RSX is mounted inside the TEC, or any metal
enclosure, and the antenna is brought through a
1/2 in. (1.3 cm) knockout (

Figure 3).

The antenna extension cable is 12 in.
(30 cm) long.

NOTE: Due to small attenuation in the remote

mount antenna cable, ranges are decreased
slightly compared to the direct mount
antenna.
