. INTRODUCTION. INTRODUCTION

. INTRODUCTION

The WT-211 is a miniature water-proof wrist-worn transmitter,
designed to send coded transmissions to wireless receivers of
the WR-200 and W R-300 series. Transmission is activated by
depressing the pushbutton at the center of the unit.

All WT-211 units are supplied with a wrist band, to be worn like a
regular watch. Operating power is obtained from a coin-type,
3-volt lithium battery that can last up to 10 years.

A LED lights during transmission, indicating that the battery
voltage exceeds 2.7 V. If the LED lights dimly or does not light at
all during transmission, the battery must be replaced immediately.

. PREPARATION FOR USE. PREPARATION FOR USE

. PREPARATION FOR USE

3.1 Opening the Case

A. Put the transmitter face down.
B. Loosen and remove the 4

screws where shown in
Figure 2. Take care not to
lose the screws.

C. Turn the transmitter over.

Hold the base between the
fingers of one hand, and pull
the cover off.

D. Make sure that the rubber

ring that serves as a seal is
in place around the rim of
the base. If it comes loose,
save it for later use together
with the screws.

Note: The strap pivots are
seated in open grooves at
the two edges of the base.

Figure 3. Transmitter Module

- Top Side

If you put the base on the table "on its back", the pivots and
the two sections of the strap will remain in place.

Upon removal of the cover, the top side of the transmitter module
can be viewed (Fig. 3).

3.2 System Code Selection

A miniature 8-position DIP switch with levers marked "1" to "8" is
used to select the SYSTEM code - a "password" between the
WT-211 and the target receiver.

Each lever on this switch may be set to ON or OFF, to obtain one
of the 256 possible code combinations. The digital code selected
must match the code setting of the target receiver.

Use a ball point pen or a similar pointed object to shift the switch
levers to the positions producing the desired system code (Fig. 4).

Important: The factory test code shown in Figure 4 (2, 4, 5, 6, 7
ON / 1, 3, 8 OFF) must not be used. Also avoid codes such as:
all keys ON, all keys OFF or alternating ON/OFF settings.

3.3 Channel Code Selection

A 4-position DIP switch with levers marked "1" to "4" is used to
select the CHANNEL code transmitted by the WT-211. Each
transmitter can be set to activate any one of the outputs or
"channels" of a 4-output receiver. This way, different zones of an
alarm control panel may be activated via a multi-channel receiver.
The channel code is selected by shifting the lever marked with
the desired channel number to ON (Fig. 5).

Use a ball point pen to set the channel selector as required by the
host system.

CAUTION! disregard the "ON" mark on the
channel switch body. The true ON position for
each channel is with the lever set close to the
channel number.

3.4 Closing the Case

A. Check that the rubber ring is in place around the rim of the

base. If not, place it carefully around the rim.

B. Align the cover with the base: make sure that the transparent

lens is over the transmit LED and the transmit pushbutton is
over the transmit switch (Fig. 3). Then press the cover and the
base together between your fingers.

C. Turn the reassembled unit upside down, and while keeping

both halves of the case pressed together, insert the four
screws and tighten them well.

. TESTING AND MAINTENANCE. TESTING AND MAINTENANCE

. TESTING AND MAINTENANCE

4.1 Testing a New Unit

A. Stand 3 m (10 ft) away from the receiver and operate the

transmitter by depressing its transmit pushbutton.

B. Verify that the transmitter LED lights, indicating good battery

condition.

C. Observe that the target receiver LED lights, indicating

detection of the transmitted RF signal.

D. In the target receiver, verify activation of the particular output

relay associated with the transmitted channel code.

E. Operate the transmitter from various locations within the area

covered by the target receiver to determine "dead" locations,
where transmission is blocked by walls and large objects, or
affected by structural materials.

Note: If dead/marginal zones are a problem, relocating the
receiver may improve the performance.

4.2 Replacing the Battery

The original battery supplied with the transmitter can last up to 10
years if used sparingly (only a single transmission per day).
Battery replacement will therefore be needed very rarely.

A . Open the case as directed in Para. 3.1. The battery clip and

the battery will be out of sight - they are both located on the
bottom (hidden) side of the module.

B. Grasp the transmit switch with two fingers. Lift the

transmitter module out of the base and turn it over. The
bottom side of the module can now be viewed.

C . Slide the old battery from under the clip in the opposite

direction to the arrow shown in Figure 6.

D. Hold the 3-volt lithium

replacement battery (type
CR-2025 or equivalent) with
the positive (+) side up.
Slide the battery all the way
in under the battery clip
until it stops.

E. Turn the transmitter module

Figure 6. Battery Insertion

over and briefly press the transmit switch (Fig. 3).The
on-board LED should light brightly while the switch is pressed.

F. Align the positioning dent (Fig. 3) with the guide pin in the

base and place the module within the base. Then close the
case as instructed in Para. 3.4 above).

5555. GENERAL COMMENTS

. GENERAL COMMENTS. GENERAL COMMENTS

. GENERAL COMMENTS

Our wireless systems are very reliable and are tested to high
standards. However, due to their low transmitting power (required
by FCC, DTI and other regulatory authorities) there are some
limitations to be considered:

A. Receivers may be blocked by radio signals on or near their

operating frequencies, regardless of the code selected.

B. A receiver can only respond to one transmitted signal at a time.
C. Wireless equipment should be tested regularly (at least once

a week) to determine if there are sources of interference and
to protect against faults.

WARNING: Changes or modifications to this unit not
expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance
could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.

4.3 Frequency Allocations for Wireless
Devices in European (EU) Countries

• 433.92 MHz has no restriction in any EU member state.

• 418 MHz is allowed in the UK only.

• 315 MHz is not allowed in any EU member state
