Honeywell Sensing and Control 1Limitless™ Series WBX Limit Switch ISSUE 1 500963771 DESCRIPTION1.1 GeneralThe Limitless™ product line combines the best of MICRO SWITCH™ Heavy Duty limit switches with the latest commercial off-the- shelf wireless technology. Wireless-enabled limit switches can now be used for position sensing and presence/absence detection fora wide variety of applications. The Limitless™ Series is especially beneficial for remote monitoring applications where wiring or wire maintenance is not physically possible or economically feasible. Combining this greater flexibility with proven harsh duty packaging can result in increased efficiencies and improved safety for machine and equipment OEMs and operators. This document will provide installation instructions to properly install a Limitless™ Hazardous Area limit switch, WBX switch, or simply the WBX .1.2 Principle of OperationThe WBX will transmit the position of its actuator to a Limitless™ Wireless Panel Mount Monitor (WPMM Series) or Limitless™ Wire-less DIN Rail Receiver (WDRR Series). The WPMM or WDRR will then indicate the actuator position of the WBX via a visual indicator, audible indicator and/or electronic output. The WBX supports no electrical signal inputs and is powered by a replaceable battery. 1.3 Model Reference for Hazardous Area Limit Switch optionsWBX NomenclatureWBXSwitch typeBCountry use codeAUS, Canada,AustraliaAAOperatinghead code1Actuator codeWBX SeriesWirelessSide rotary,momentaryCJTop plunger,plainWobble stick1Gen CodeARF Code1Version 1 A2.4 GHz; IEEE 802.15.4001200 No antenna; RP-SMA connector jack2.0 dBi omni w/switch mount; straight designwith radome 3453ModificationcodeHead assembledwith actuator toright sideHead assembledwith actuator toleft sideHead assembledwith actuator tomounting surfaceAntenna type codeB2.4 GHz; ISA 100.11a1Rollerless1A1CFixed 0.75 in x0.25 in nylonroller, front mountFixed 0.75 in x0.25 in nylonroller, back mount2Adjustable,rollerless2A2CAdjust. 0.75 in x0.25 in nylonroller, front mountAdjust. 0.75 in x0.25 in nylonroller, back mount2J Adjust. 1 in x0.5 in nylonroller, front mount2K Adjust. 1.5 in x0.25 in nylonroller, front mount3E Yoke, 0.75 in x0.25 in nylonroller, back/front3M3SYoke, 0.75 in x1.25 in nylonroller, back/frontYoke, 0.75 in x0.25 in nylonroller, back/back4Hub only4M5Hub rod, 5.5 in, aluminumOffset, rollerless5A Offset, 0.75 in x0.25 in nylonroller, back mount5C Offset, 0.75 in x0.25 in nylonroller, front mount7A Delrin™ rod,5.5 inches*9A9CShort fixed, 0.75 x 0.25 in nylonroller, front mountShort fixed, 0.75 x 0.25 in nylonroller, back mountBAll approved countries0Zone usecodeAZone 0BZone 1Head assembledwith actuator tonameplate sideZone 0: An area in which an explosive gas atmosphere is present continuously or for long periods.Zone 1An area in which an explosive gas atmosphere is likely to occur in normal operation.* 7A to be assembled tooperating head code J only.

Honeywell Sensing and Control 13Limitless™ Series WBX Limit Switch ISSUE 1 500963774 WBX BASIC START UP AND FUNCTIONAL MODESThis section provides basic installation instructions for the WBX used in conjunction with a Limitless™ Wireless Panel Mount Monitor (WPMM) or a Limitless™ Wireless DIN Rail Receiver (WDRR). If necessary, refer to the WDRR or WPMM Installation and Technical Manual for further detailed information regarding installation.4.1 Antenna Connection (if required)m WARNINGRF EXPOSURETo satisfy FCC RF exposure requirements for mobile transmitting devices, a separation distance of 20 cm [7.87 in] or more should be maintained between the antenna of this device and persons during device operation To ensure compliance, operation at closer than this distance is not recommended. The antenna used for this transmission must not be co-located in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.Failure to comply with these instructions could result in death or serious injury.CAUTIONPower to the WBX should not be applied (ensure battery is removed) during installation of antenna as damage could occur to the WBX electronics and/or ignite the surrounding hazardous atmosphere. The WBX is normally shipped with a direct mount 2.0 dBi antenna and radome. To use one another style of direct mount antenna or remote mount antenna per Section 3.1, the radome must be removed by using a 30 mm open-end or adjustable wrench; unscrew the radome by turning it CCW (see Figures 2 and 3). If the WBX you purchased was not provided with an antenna and radome, you can proceed to using another style of antenna recommended and approved for use with this product by Honeywell (see Tables 14 & 15). Figure 2. Removal of Radome Figure 3. Unscrew AntennaA remote mount antenna requires the use of an extension cable to allow the antenna to be mounted in a different location than the WBX location. The extension cable will need to have one end with a RP-SMA plug connector which will mate with the WBX connector jack under the same mounting procedure as the direct mount antenna. The other end of the extension cable will need to mate with antenna connector directly or it may be integral to the particular remote mount antenna chosen. See Figure 4.

16 Honeywell Sensing and ControlLimitless™ Series WBX Limit Switch ISSUE 1 500963774.3 Update Rate/DIP SwitchesThe WBX update rate is the frequency at which the WBX will automatically communicate with the receiver when the switch is not be-ing actuated or de-actuated. It is adjustable from 2 seconds to 300 seconds. If the operator is cycling the switch faster than what the update rate is set, the auto communication will not occur. The update rate “clock” will also be reset upon an actuation or de-actuation of the switch so communication will happen at the next switch activation or update rate time; whichever occurs first. An advantage of increasing the update rate frequency is allowing a faster indication of a lost RF signal between the switch and receiver which is important in some applications. A disadvantage of increasing the update rate is that it can decrease the battery life as increasing the frequency of communication consumes more battery power. The WBX has the capability to change the update rate via DIP switch settings located inside the housing; see the table below. The allowable DIP switch settings are seen in the table below along with the Lost RF receiver indication time. The Lost RF receiver indication time is the amount of time it takes the receiver to indicate a lost RF condition via LED indication and/or Lost RF electrical output change.DIP switcheslocationDIP Switch Setting Switch Position Update Rate (seconds)Lost RF Signal*12341234NOTUSEDn/a ON OFF OFF 1.5 51234NOTUSEDn/a OFF ON ON 4.5 181234NOTUSEDn/a OFF ON OFF 11 451234NOTUSEDn/a OFF OFF ON 30 1201234NOTUSEDn/a OFF OFF OFF 90 360*Time that elapses from the last successful communication signal that was received, either automatic or from a switch actuation/de-actuationNOTICE: Firmware (FW) operation differences with Limitless™ monitor/receiver due to update rate chosen; FW# of monitor/receiver is noted on product label.WPMM Series monitor• FW7271:Anyupdateratechosendoesnotchangeoperationastheyarealldefaultedto30seconds• FW7273:AnyupdateratechosenwillallownormaloperationwithonlyoneWBXswitchconnectedtoWPMMWDRR Series receiver• FW7404:Anyupdateratechosenwillallownormaloperation• FW7406:Anyupdateratechosenwillallownormaloperation4.4 Pairing ModePairing is required to initiate and establish an RF communication link between each single WBX and a single WPMM or WDRR. As there are up to 16 WBX devices that can be paired to a single WPMM or WDRR, it is advised that you identify each WBX switch by physically marking them (permanent marker) from #1 to #16. The initial WBX paired to the WPMM or WDRR will be Sequence #1; the second WBX paired will be Sequence #2 and so on. If replacing a WBX that has been purged, as applicable(see section 6.5 of the WPMM Installation and Technical Manual or Section 7.3 of the WDRR Installation & Technical Manual), identify the correct replacement Sequence # on the WBX. Pairing steps when using a WPMM: The battery will need to be activated in the WBX and proper power applied to the WPMM (green  LED illuminated) before proceeding with this pairing procedure. Once the pairing is completed, the WBX selected will only commu-nicate with the WPMM it was paired to and no other device.

Refer to Section 5.6 in this manual for more detail
20 Honeywell Sensing and ControlLimitless™ Series WBX Limit Switch ISSUE 1 500963774.6 Antenna AdjustmentThe antenna of the WBX and WPMM or WDRR should be oriented with respect to each other such that they are parallel. This will in most cases allow the longest range and highest RF communication link/signal. The least RF signal is normally in a direction in-line with the top of the antenna, so it is best to avoid having the antennas pointed directly toward each other, or directly away from each other. An acceptable RF signal is also indicated by the RF signal strength LEDs on the WDRR; see the WDRR Installation and Technical Manual for further information. Figure 11. Limitless™ WBX and WPMM in Parallelm WARNINGRF EXPOSURETo satisfy FCC RF exposure requirements for mobile transmitting devices, a separation distance of 20 cm [7.87 in] or more should be maintained between the antenna of this device and persons during device operation. To ensure compliance, operations at closer than this distance is not recommended. The antenna used for this transmitter must not be co-located in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.Failure to comply with these instructions could result in death or serious injury.4.7 Purge ModeThe purging of a WBX is required when a previously paired WBX is desired to paired again per Section 4.4. Follow the procedure below which will then allow a new pairing to be conducted after successful purging:Step Action1Remove (if required) the housing cover of the WBX (See Figure 8) and locate the WBX function button  & orange LED  (See Figure 9).2Press and hold the WBX function button for greater than 12 seconds. Initially the orange LED  turns on and after the 12 seconds will turn off indicating the WBX has been purged.3 Repeat above steps if necessary to purge more Limitless™ switch(es).
Honeywell Sensing and Control 21Limitless™ Series WBX Limit Switch ISSUE 1 500963774.8 WPMM Operation and LED functions4.8.1 Principle of Operation of the WPMM and Limitless™ Switch: A Limitless™ WBX will send an RF signal to the WPMM when the actuator of the WBX switch changes position. There are up to 16 Lim-itless™ WBX switches that will communicate and indicate their actuation position with a single WPMM. The mechanical actuation (free position to full overtravel) of any one of the WBX switches will cause a single red output LED to illuminate, a buzzer to sound, and/or a change in the electrical output.* However, there will be no differentiation of outputs (visual, audible or electrical state change) between any of the WBX switches being actuated. Further, if a WBX switch causes the single red output LED to illuminate, a buzzer to sound, and a change in the electrical output, actuation of any other Limitless™ WBX will not cause another output change (visual, audible or electrical state change).The operation and LED functions for the WPMM are visually depicted and described in the attached file. This file is also located as a separate file at sensing.honeywell.com.Figure 12. WPMM Operation and LED Functions Chart – part 1* Refer to the WPMM Installation and Technical Manual for further set-up instructions(buzzer mute and/or reversed output).

There are up to 14 WBX switches will communicate and indicate their actuation position with a single WDRR. The actuation of any one of the WBX switches will cause a single red output LED to illuminate and change in the electrical output for the associated output (#1 thru 14) that it is paired to. The operation and LED functions for the WPMM are visually depicted and described in the WDRR Installation and Technical Manual located at sensing.honeywell.com/limitless.
24 Honeywell Sensing and ControlLimitless™ Series WBX Limit Switch ISSUE 1 500963775 ANTENNA CONSIDERATIONS/OPTIONS & SWITCH/ANTENNA INSTALLATION5.1 Overview of Antenna Options The following chart lists the antenna options along with the various characteristics that will be referenced throughout this section. This section is intended to assist an end user in determining which antenna(s) are worth investigating and subjecting to application requirements for proof of suitability., ATTENTIONThe antenna cables should not be modified (i.e. cut short and/or re-terminated) as it may affect Communication Agency approval.m WARNINGThe WBX must be installed in accordance with the requirements specified in this document in order to comply with the specific Country Communication Agency requirements (i.e., FCC, IC, ETSI). 5.1.1 Omni-directional Antenna DesignThe omni-directional antennas offered in the Limitless™ Series were chosen for their ability to be used in applications where transmit-and-receiver antennas may be moving with respect to each other or could also be stationary. They are dipole antennas that radiate power (power from the internal radio of the WBX) in a 360° outward pattern in a plane perpendicular to the length of the antenna ele-ment. “Omni” may suggest the antenna radiates power in all directions, but that is not the case. The actual antenna radiation pattern looks more like a toroid (doughnut-shape) as shown in Figure 14. Figure 14. Radiation Pattern of an Omni-directional AntennaToroid Radiation Pattern - Pattern is 360 degrees in the vertical plane, but not the horizontal plane2.2 dBi RF Antenna Pattern - Hori-zontal2.2 dBi RF Antenna Pattern - VerticalThe antenna radiates virtually zero power in the Z axis and most of the power in the X and Y axis. Increasing the antenna’s gain will increase the power only in the X and Y axis. As a result, the radiation pattern becomes narrower. For instance, this is analogous to the reflector in an automobile’s headlight. The reflector does not add light or increase the luminous intensity of the light bulb, rather it simply directs all the light energy in the forward direction where the light is needed most.
Honeywell Sensing and Control 25Limitless™ Series WBX Limit Switch ISSUE 1 500963775.2 Antenna Mounting and Considerations5.2.1 Antenna Mounting Location with Respect to RF Signalm WARNINGRF EXPOSURETo satisfy FCC RF exposure requirements for mobile transmitting devices, a separation distance of 20 cm [7.87 in] or more should be maintained between the antenna of this device and persons during device operation. To ensure compliance, operation at closer than this distance is not recommended. The antenna used for this transmission must not be co-located in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.Failure to comply with these instructions could result in death or serious injury. There are several environmental factors to consider with respect to antenna location during installation. These factors can affect the radio frequency (RF) signal strength being both transmitted and received by the WBX and corresponding WPMM monitor or WDRR re-ceiver. It is desirable for the antenna to be mounted to limit exposure of adjacent materials/objects between the Limitless™ WBX and WPMM or WDRR receiver, as they will have an effect on RF signal strength. If the mounting location for an omni-directional antenna is on the side of a building or tower, the antenna pattern will be degraded on the building or tower side.Obstacles that affect antenna patterns and RF signal strength:• Indoor:Concrete,wood,drywall,andmetalwalls,etc.• Outdoor:Vehicles,buildings,trees,structures,topology,weatherconditions,chainlinkfence,majorpowercables,etc.Best performance is achieved when antennas for both the WBX and WPMM monitor are mounted at the same height and in a direct line of sight (LOS) with no obstructions. Generally, the higher the antenna is above ground, the better it performs. Another concern is RF interference, discussed in Section 5.5.3. Figure 15.

To ensure compliance, operation at closer than this distance is not recommended. The antenna used for this transmission must not be co-located in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.Failure to comply with these instructions could result in death or serious injury.m WARNINGPOTENTIAL ELECTROSTATIC CHARGING HAZARDWhen the WBX Series is installed in potentially hazardous locations care should be taken not to electrostatically charge the surface of the antenna shroud by rubbing the surface with a cloth, or cleaning the surface with a solvent. If electrostatically charged, discharge of the antenna shroud to a person or a tool could possibly ignite a surrounding hazardous atmosphere.m WARNINGRISK OF DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY FROM EXPLOSION OR FIREConnection and disconnection of the antennas should only be performed in a non-hazardous area and with no battery power applied to the WBX. This is due to the risk of possibly damaging the internal WBX electronics and/or igniting the surrounding hazardous atmosphere.Failure to comply with these instructions could result in death or serious injury.5.2.3.1 Antenna Connection, Styles, and Mounting OptionsChoosing an antenna mounting style depends on application conditions, along with antenna benefits and/or features and user pref-erence. The antenna’s gain (discussed further in Section 5.4) to some extent determines physical size; also a consideration is the amount of room available in the application.Figure 17. Straight Antennas (Radome included with 2.0 dBi straight antenna)Adhesive mount: The benefit of the remote adhesive mount antenna is mounting flexibility to a number of surfaces and in various ori-entations. Remember, the surface that the antenna is being mounted to will affect the radiation pattern so it is suggested that masking tape be used to temporarily attach the antenna. Perform fade-margin testing, as described in Section 5.4 before permanently mount-ing.

30 Honeywell Sensing and ControlLimitless™ Series WBX Limit Switch ISSUE 1 50096377Magnetic mount: The benefit of the magnetic-mount antenna is its ability to mount on any ferrous-metal surface and in various orientations. A smooth metal surface is preferred to allow the best attraction of the magnet to the surface. First, the user will need to determine if the magnetic attraction is sufficient to hold the antenna in the desired position (i.e., shock, vibration, etc. in the application). Placing the antenna in a location where it cannot be inadvertently displaced may help. Magnetic-mount antennas are not designed for mobile applications (see Figure 23).5.2.4 Antenna Adjustment ConsiderationsThe antenna of the WBX and WPMM monitor or WDRR receiver should be oriented in parallel. This will, in most cases, allow the longest range and highest RF signal. The least RF signal is normally in a direction in-line with the top of the antenna, so avoid having antennas pointed directly toward or directly away from each other.Figure 23.

Honeywell Sensing and Control 31Limitless™ Series WBX Limit Switch ISSUE 1 500963775.3 Signal Range of an AntennaThe signal range is defined as the physical distance between the WBX and WPMM monitor or WDRR receiver. It’s a function of the antenna’s gain, radio output of the WBX switch and WPMM monitor or and cable loss (if used) in conjunction with the environment (i.e. outdoor urban, indoors, etc.) that the Limitless™ product is operating in. Signal range specication:305 m [1000 ft] (nominal) Line of sight with a 2.0 dBi antenna installed on the WBX and WPMM monitor or WDRR receiver5.4 Choosing an Antenna Gain (dBi) With Acceptable Fade-MarginThere are several different antenna gain options in the Limitless™ Series to choose from. This section helps determine the antenna version(s) that will provide suitable RF signal performance for specific applications. m WARNINGThe attenuator shall be used for testing purposes only. The connection and disconnection of the antennas/attenuator should only be performed in a non-hazardous area and with no battery power applied to the WBX. This is due to the risk of possibly damaging the internal WBX electronics and/or igniting the surrounding hazardous atmosphere.Failure to comply with these instructions could result in death or serious injury.The Limitless™ Series antenna’s actual gain is measured by how much of the input power from the internal radio of the WBX is con-centrated in a particular direction. The WBX’s antenna transmits RF signals, and also receives RF signals from a Limitless™ WPMM monitor or WDRR receiver. In a particular application, transmit signal strength may be better than the receive signal strength or vice versa. The intent is to choose an antenna with the optimum gain relative to application conditions for both transmitting and receiving. Fade-margin is the amount of excess power available above and beyond what is necessary to maintain a reliable RF signal between the transmitter and receiver. Normally, an acceptable threshold of excess power to ensure effective operation in a variety of environ-mental conditions is 10 dB. A simple way to determine if the signal strength is sufficient is to temporarily install a 10 dB attenuator* between the RP-SMA plug of the antenna or remote cable and RP-SMA jack of the WBX. This should be completed in an operating application environment with good nominal environmental conditions. When using a WPMM monitor and starting with the antenna cho-sen in Section 3.1, install the attenuator and operate the system until exposure of all normal application conditions is completed while monitoring the amber yellow LED (RF link/signal indicator of the WPMM monitor). If the fade-margin is unacceptable, the LED turns on solid indicating that the antenna position on the WBX and/or WPMM monitor will need to be changed or another antenna type should be chosen. If using a WDRR receiver; the RF signal strength can be monitored via the RF Signal Strength LEDs. Please refer to the FUNCTIONAL INDICATOR section in the WDRR Installation and Technical Manual for further details of operation.Try several mounting locations and/or antennas while retesting each with the attenuator to determine the optimal set-up that provides an acceptable fade-margin. Remember to remove the attenuator after testing is completed. *Suggested sources/part numbers• 10dBattenuator(i.e.Crystek–Partnumber:CATTEN-0100)• RP-SMAfemaletoSMAmaleconnectorAdapter(i.e.ConnectorCity–Partnumber:ADP-SMAM-RPSF)• RP-SMAmaletoSMAfemaleconnectorAdapter(i.e.ConnectorCity–Partnumber:ADP-RPSM-SMAF)
32 Honeywell Sensing and ControlLimitless™ Series WBX Limit Switch ISSUE 1 500963775.5 Environment Usage/Concerns5.5.1 Choosing an Antenna/Cable to Meet Application Exposure Conditions There is no antenna or cable design impervious to every environmental condition that it could be exposed to. So it is suggested that the application environment be reviewed as follows: Step Action1 Determine where the antenna will be installed and the application conditions: indoor, outdoor, or limited outdoor exposure. Even if the antenna is going to be used indoors, an outdoor antenna may be more suitable (i.e., resistant to fluids, rigid construction, etc.)2 Determine what the antenna may be subjected to (i.e., fluids, chemicals, oils, wind, shock, vibration, etc.).3 A. Review antenna and/or cable materials (listed in Section 5.1) against resistance to chemicals and fluids. If choos-ing an adhesive mount, adhesive resistance testing may be necessary. B. If shock, vibration, wind, rain, sleet/snow, etc. are in the application, choose an antenna rated for outdoors and has a rigid design as defined in Sections 5.1 and 5.2.3.2.4 The WBX’s enclosure is designed to meet Type seal requirements; however, this step may be required to provide an extra level of protection, especially if the application may be subjecting antennas and cables to liquids. The RP-SMA connec-tions, tilt/swivel joints, and cable entrances are potential leak paths that could lead to corrosion. The following procedure is one way to provide extra protection to these connections and joints. Ensure that the area you are applying tape to is clean from contaminants by first cleaning with mild detergent/water and completely dry. Follow with an isopropyl alcohol wipe of the area.Layer 1: Wrap a layer of polyvinyl chloride insulating tape Layer 2: Wrap a layer of Rubber splicing tape i.e. Scotch™ 23Layer 3: Wrap a layer of UV stable polyvinyl chloride insulating tapeLayer 1 allows the user to remove Layer 2 for connector inspection, antenna replacement, repositioning of the tilt/swivel antenna, etc. See Figure 25 as an example of the tapes applied to a RP-SMA jack antenna connection. The lime/black antenna guard is not required to be installed.If the antenna and connectors are not protected by the radome, the connector and threads should be protected from the elements thorugh an application of protective tape.• ArecommendedprotectivetapeisCOAX-SEAL#104HandMoldablePlasticWeatherproongTape,availablefromLCOM,Inc.• AlsoacceptableisScotch® Premium Vinyl Electrical Tape 88-Super tape, available from 3M.

Step 2 - First apply 1/2 inch wide Coax Seal (exible and moldable material)Step 3 - Secondly, apply 3M Scotch® Premium Vinyl Electrical Tape 88-SuperIn the end, the antenna/cable choice may need to be tested in the actual application conditions to prove suitability.5.5.2 RF Interference The WBX and WPMM or WDRR radio operate in the 2.4 GHz range. Upon initial pairing with the WBX, the WPMM’s or WDRR’s radio will automatically scan each of the 9 or 12 channels in the 2.4 GHz range and choose a channel with the least amount of usage. This provides a level of protection from RF interference as the chosen channel where RF communication is low will have a lower chance of signal collision. However, if multiple RF sources exist in the chosen channel or the external source has an extremely high power intensity or it is in close proximity to the Limitless™ Series antenna, RF interference can cause an RF signal to not reach the WBX or WPMM monitor, or WDRR receiver. RF interference can be caused by many sources (i.e., other radios in the same operating range, solar activity, high frequency digital products, conventional microwave ovens, etc.). If the Limitless™ Series is in an environment with a high usage of products in the 2.4 GHz range, or the RF environment is unknown, an on-site RF survey may prove to be valuable in identifying pos-sible RF interference sources along with other existing wireless devices. Once the RF sources are identified and located, it may allow the Limitless™ Series antennas to be moved away from the identified RF sources to achieve acceptable performance. The other option is removing the external source, if feasible.
