Description:

The WP1P/WP2P Wireless Tilt Monitor is a low-power device that monitors discrete angular position and
maintains a count of tilt events. The count is incremented when the sensor is tilted forward from a vertical
orientation as shown below. The transmitter sends data at random intervals between 10 and 17 seconds. On
state changes, it transmits the updated data within one second. The battery will typically last from 2 to 5 years
depending on angular position change frequency.

Mounting:

The sensor must be installed as shown below or it may not accurately indicate position. The sensor bottom
should be horizontal as shown in the center figure.

Option #1: Attach the Wireless Tilt Monitor to the tilting surface using the provided Dual-Lock strips.
Option #2: Attach the Wireless Tilt Monitor to the tilting surface using the provided #6 x 1” self-drilling screws

or other suitable screws.

Option #3: Attach the Wireless Tilt Monitor to the tilting surface using the optional Mag-Mount Universal

Mounting Bracket (P/N# UMB-S2N - not shown).

Monitor Setup:

1. Loosen the four cover screws to remove cover. Install battery to turn power on (circuit board is labeled

to indicate correct polarity).

2. Press the transmitter’s service button to configure it to the sensor’s specifications.

3. When the monitor system is active, the LED will flash every 10 to 17 seconds. Pressing the service

button will immediately flash the LED to indicate the functionality of the monitor.

4. Replace the cover and tighten all four cover screws.

e-Guard OPC Data Manager - Quick Sensor Setup:

1. Start e-Guard OPC Data Manager (consult installation instructions if software is not already installed).

2. Click the Server Settings menu, then Device Registration in the upper left corner.

3. Press the transmitter’s service button to register the sensor. Its serial number will appear in the SN

column with default values appearing in the other columns (serial numbers are listed sequentially).

4. Modify e-Guard software settings as desired:

Column Default Value Permissible Entries

Topic Sensor serial no. Alphanumeric characters (25 max; blanks and dashes ok) representing sensor name
Active Yes Yes = e-Guard OPC Data Manager publishes sensor data

No = e-Guard OPC Data Manager does not publish sensor data

Dashboard Yes Yes = Sensor data is logged in the database

No = Sensor data is not logged in the database

ShowTile Yes Yes = Sensor data is displayed on a tile in the e-Guard Dashboard

No = Sensor data is not displayed in the e-Guard Dashboard

Baseline 0 Integer value (6 digits max) representing the baseline measurement value for the

specific sensor (not used for this sensor type).
TransmitFrequency 12 DO NOT CHANGE – this value is used to calculate sensor efficiency
SaveInterval 1 Integer value between 0 and 32,767 specifying the data logging interval for the

VenTek Sensor Database in minutes. A zero (0) value will log every data packet.

5. Close the Registered Devices window when finished. The window will close automatically after 1

minute of inactivity.

6. Leave e-Guard OPC Data Manager running to continue data logging. Close the program to end.

VenTek eGuard Software Sensor Configuration:

This sensor is a standard device, so the software should already be programmed with the proper information. If
the software does not recognize the sensor, verify that both sensor types below appear in the software by
clicking the Server Settings menu, then Type Settings in the upper left corner:
