Description:

VenTek’s WV1P/WV2P Universal Wireless Transmitter is a low-power self-configuring device with a 600 ft
range and will configure itself to work with any VenTek V-Bus sensor. The transmitter sends data from the
sensor at random intervals between 10 and 17 seconds. It remains turned off until a V-Bus sensor is plugged in.
The expected average battery life is 2-5 years, depending on the sensor being used.

Mounting:

Install the transmitter away from metal objects such as steel beams, catwalks and shelving. Such objects may
interfere with the transmission signals. The preferred mounting surface is non-metallic. If the mounting surface
is metallic, the receiver should be in front of the Universal Wireless Transmitter (See VenTek document TIPS1
for more information).

Option 1: Attach transmitter to mounting surface using the provided Dual-Lock Strips.
Option 2: Attach transmitter to mounting surface using the provided #6 x 1” self-drilling screws.
Option 3: Attach transmitter to mounting surface using an optional Mag-Mount Universal Mounting Bracket

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

(1) Typical line-of-site transmitter range. VenTek recommends that a site survey should be conducted to find the best locations for

transmitters and receivers.

Monitor Setup:

1. Connect the WV1P/WV2P Universal Wireless Transmitter to a VenTek V-Bus Sensor and tighten

securely. This connection powers the wireless monitor system. Disconnect sensor to turn monitor off.

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

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

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

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 (example: Motor A normally runs at 45ºC; enter “45” for the baseline

value). Appears as a reference in the e-Guard Dashboard.
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.

Wireless Communication Conditions of Use:

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, and (2) This device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired operation.

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by VenTek, LLC for compliance could void the user's
authority to operate the equipment.

To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the
equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that permitted for successful communication.

This device has been designed to operate with the antennas listed below, and having a maximum gain of 2 dBi.
Antennas not included in this list or having a gain greater than 2 dBi are strictly prohibited for use with this
device. The required antenna impedance is 50 ohms.

Approved Antennas: ANT1N44RM; ANT1N44SM (included)
