The software will apply regulatory restrictions based on your
geographic region. The FCC complaint version of the kit will
include software that conforms to FCC requirements. The CE
compliant version of the kit will include software that conforms to
CE requirements:

FCC requirements impose the following restrictions on the •
reader:

The reader will read sensors only once every 30s.•
The reader will only make use of one antenna. The other •
two antenna ports are deactivated on FCC compliant

readers.
CE requirements restrict the reader to only operate in the 433 •
MHz ISM-Band. This means that you will only be able to read

one sensor with a CE compliant reader.

Please use the InstallShield Wizard, shown in Figure 2, to complete
the installation process. Successful installation will result in the
creation of a directory called TempTrackr in the path C:\Program
Files\Sengenuity\TempTrackr.

Start the Software from the Windows Start Menu or by double­clicking the WSR-T2 icon from the directory in which the software
has been installed.

Please select the communication interface (CAN or RS232/RS485)
to communicate with the wireless interrogation unit. If you
select the RS232/RS485 option, please select the appropriate
communication port on your PC/Laptop. Most kits will include an
RS232/RS485 cable and will not include a CAN adapter and cable.
Therefore please select the RS232/RS485 option when setting up
the kit.

As shown in Figure 5, connect the wireless interrogation unit to
RS232/RS485 cable. The Dipole Antenna should have already
be connected to the reader when it was delivered to you. If you
receive a reader with the antenna NOT connected please do not
use it if you are in the United States. You WILL be in violation
of FCC regulations. Please contact SenGenuity to arrange for a
replacement kit to be sent to you.

Connect the Wireless Interrogation Unit to a power supply
(5V±5% DC; 350mA) as shown in Figure 6. You can now connect
