Limitless™ Series WBX Limit Switch ISSUE 1 50096377

1 DESCRIPTION

1.1 General

The 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 for

a 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 Operation

The 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.

4 WBX BASIC START UP AND FUNCTIONAL MODES

This 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 WARNING

RF EXPOSURE

To 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.

CAUTION

Power 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 Antenna

A 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.

4.3 Update Rate/DIP Switches

The 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.

4.4 Pairing Mode

Pairing 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.

4.6 Antenna Adjustment

The 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 Parallel

m WARNING

RF EXPOSURE

To 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 Mode

The 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 Action

1Remove (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).

4.8 WPMM Operation and LED functions

4.8.1 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.

5 ANTENNA CONSIDERATIONS/OPTIONS & SWITCH/ANTENNA INSTALLATION

5.1 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.

, ATTENTION

The antenna cables should not be modiﬁed (i.e. cut short and/or re-terminated) as it may affect Communication Agency approval.

m WARNING

The 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 Design

The 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 Antenna

Toroid Radiation Pattern - Pattern

is 360 degrees in the vertical plane,

but not the horizontal plane

2.2 dBi RF Antenna Pattern - Hori-

zontal

2.2 dBi RF Antenna Pattern - Vertical

The 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.

Limitless™ Series WBX Limit Switch ISSUE 1 50096377

5.2 Antenna Mounting and Considerations

5.2.1 Antenna Mounting Location with Respect to RF Signal

m WARNING

RF EXPOSURE

To 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

5.2.3 Antenna Styles and Mounting Options

m WARNING

RF EXPOSURE

To 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.

m WARNING

POTENTIAL ELECTROSTATIC CHARGING HAZARD

When 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 WARNING

RISK OF DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY FROM EXPLOSION OR FIRE

Connection 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 Options

Choosing 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.

28 Honeywell Sensing and Control

Limitless™ Series WBX Limit Switch ISSUE 1 50096377

Permanent mounting: Pre-clean the surface where the antenna is to be mounted with an alcohol wipe. Peel paper protection from

adhesive strip and mount to the cleaned surface (see Figures 19, 20, and 21).

Mast mount: The beneﬁt of the mast-mount antenna is its rigid design and resistance to displacement when subjected to shock,

vibration, wind, etc. It can be easily mounted high above the ground to obtain greater RF signal performance and it withstands winds

up to 100 mph.

Limitless™ Series WBX Limit Switch ISSUE 1 50096377

Magnetic 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 Considerations

The 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.

Limitless™ Series WBX Limit Switch ISSUE 1 50096377

5.3 Signal Range of an Antenna

The 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 receiver

5.4 Choosing an Antenna Gain (dBi) With Acceptable Fade-Margin

There 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 WARNING

The 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.

5.5 Environment Usage/Concerns

5.5.1 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 Action

1 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™ 23

Layer 3: Wrap a layer of UV stable polyvinyl chloride insulating tape

Layer 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.

In 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.
