The IDS WA System is an accessory for IDS measuring systems enabling a wireless connection between any IDS sensor with plug head connector (variant W) and
your IDS meter.
Two adapters, one at the IDS meter (IDS WA-M) and one at the sensor (IDS WAS), replace the sensor cable with an energy-saving Bluetooth LE radio connection.
The sensor is supplied with power by a rechargeable battery in the IDS WA-S
adapter. The battery is charged with the charging device included in the IDS WA
System (IDS WA-S Charger).
To upgrade the IDS WA System, equip further IDS sensors with the IDS WA-S
adapter, which is available as an accessory.
1IDS WA-M adapter (on the meter)
With an IDS WA-M adapter connected, the IDS meter registers up to 6
wireless sensors within a radius of up to 10 meters. The administering of
the sensors is done in the Sensors menu.

A USB 2.x connector on the PC supplies up to 200 mA.
A USB 3.x connector on the PC supplies up to 900 mA.
If several USB devices are connected to a PC or a USB hub without extra
power supply, the available current is distributed to several connections.
One device consuming a lot of power may cause other devices to receive
not enough power so that they cannot be operated.
• Operate the IDS WA-S Charger on the USB 3.0 or higher interfaces of
your PC.
• Operate only one IDS WA-S Charger per PC to avoid possible conflicts
with other USB devices about power resources.
3.3.2 Charging the IDS WA-S battery
1.Open the retaining clip (5) on the IDS WA-S Charger.
2.Insert the IDS WA-S adapter in the IDS WA-S Charger. The charging contacts
of the adapter have to be positioned on the charging contacts (4) of the IDS
WA-S Charger. The function keys of the adapter point upwards.

The number of IDS WA-S Charger modules is limited by the strength of
current available at the USB connection.
Each IDS WA-S Charger module requires a charging current of max. 180
mA.
Example: To be able to use 5 IDS WA-S Charger modules at one USB
connection, the USB connection must provide a current of at least 900 mA
(= 5 x 180 mA).
2.Bolt together up to 5 connection rods (corresponding to the number of IDS WAS Charger modules).
3.Tighten the cap nut with washer on the end of the connection rod with external
thread.
4.Plug the combined connection rod through the channel (2) up to the stop (at
the cap nut).
5.Tighten a bolt (M3x6) with washer onto the end with the open inside thread of
the connection rod.
Tighten the bolt until the combined IDS WA-S Charger modules form a permanent unit.
6.Always operate the combined IDS WA-S Charger modules connected to a
power pack with USB connection.
7.Connect the power pack with USB connection to the socket (1).
3.8Mounting an IDS WA-S Charger module to a wall
To store the IDS WA-S Charger and IDS WA-S adapter in a way that saves space
and keeps them always ready for use, the IDS WA-S Charger is prepared to be

mounted to a wall.
You can fix the IDS WA-S Charger to a wall in the following ways:
1Receptacle for hook
Put the IDS WA-S Charger on a hook through the receptacle on the
underside.
2Bore hole for screwing the module to the wall:
Fix a screw (M5 with head diameter 8 mm) to the wall through the bore
hole.
The head of the screw must not protrude from the bore hole so the
charging contacts of the IDS WA-S adapter and IDS WA-S Charger are
not impeded.
4Operation and measurement
4.1Operation
Once the wireless connection is established the measured value of the sensor is
displayed on the meter. Establishing the connection for the first time may take
several seconds.

5Storing the IDS WA-S adapter
For storing, put the IDS WA-S adapter with the sensor connected into a IDS WA-S
Charger ready for operation.
The battery of the IDS WA-S adapter is automatically recharged when the charge
becomes less. Thus the wireless sensor is ready for operation at any time.
The IDS WA-S Charger ready for operation can also be used for storing the
wireless sensor for longer periods of time.
To store the wireless sensor outside the charging station for longer
periods of time, we recommend you store the IDS WA-S adapter and
sensor separately.
