Mounting the Wall Module
Mount the wall module on an inside wall approximately 54 in. 
(1372 mm) from the floor (or in the specified location) to allow 
exposure to the average zone temperature. Do not mount the 
wall module on an outside wall, on a wall containing water 
pipes, or near air ducts. Avoid locations that are exposed to 
discharge air from registers or radiation from lights, 
appliances, or the sun. When mounting to drywall, use the 
horizontal mounting screw locations, as shown in Fig. 3.
Fig. 2. Wall Module subbase dimensions in inches (mm) 
(TR23 shown).
Fig. 3. Mounting the wall module on the wall and 
temperature limit set screw locations (TR23 shown).
There is a locking screw option to prevent tampering and 
access to batteries. The screw is provided with the wall 
module, and screws into the slot shown in Fig. 9 after the 
device is snapped onto the subbase.
If desired, insert the two red end stoppers into temperature 
scale to set the desired temperature range limit. See Fig. 3.
For TR23 models, insert the desired dial through the opening 
in the cover. Align the keyed shaft on the knob with the keyed 
slot into the fitting on the subbase, then press down until it 
snaps into place.
WIRING
Attach the wires from the device terminals to the appropriate 
receiver terminals.
CAUTION
Improper Electrical Contact Hazard.
Screw type terminal blocks are designed to accept 
no more than one 16 AWG (1.31 sq. mm) 
conductor.
Connect multiple wires that are 16-18 AWG 
(1.31-0.82 sq. mm) with a wire nut. Include a pigtail 
with this wire group and attach the pigtail to the 
individual terminal block.
Wire the terminal block as follows:
1. For single wires, strip 3/16 in. (5 mm); for multiple wires 
going into one terminal, strip 1/2 in. (13 mm) insulation 
from the conductor.
2. If two or more wires (18 to 22 AWG only) are being 
inserted into one terminal, twist the wires together 
before inserting.
NOTE: When two or more wires are being inserted 
into one terminal, be sure to twist them 
together. Deviation from this rule can result 
in improper electrical contact. See Fig. 4.
3. Insert the wire in the required terminal location and 
tighten the screw to complete the termination.
4. Review and verify the terminal connection wiring and 
DIP switch settings.

DIP Switch Labels
This device is packed with tear-off DIP switch labels you can attach to the receiver and indicate which DIP switches are on and 
off.

switches matching S2 and S3 DIP switches on receiver.
TESTING FOR SIGNAL 
STRENGTH
When the receiver is powered and batteries are placed in the 
wall module, communication will begin automatically within 2 
seconds. The receiver RF signal light will flash every 30 
seconds to confirm each transmission. You can force 
immediate communication by pressing the signal strength 
button on the side of the wall module with a 1-1.6 mm 
diameter probe with flat or rounded face (a common paperclip 
will do) (see Fig. 9). This may be required to initiate 
communication when replacing a wall module.
The signal strength LED next to the signal strength button will 
light up on the side to show the relative signal strength. The 
signal strength LED will initially light amber when the signal 
strength button is pressed to verify that you are pressing the 
signal strength button. When you release the signal strength 
button, the light will behave as shown in Table 1.

Fig. 9. Wall module features (TR23 shown).
If no signal is received, test the wall module in a different 
location until a suitable signal strength is received by the 
receiver. Pressing the signal strength button on the wall 
module will cause a five-second flash on the RF signal LED 
on the receiver, and pressing the override button will cause a 
single flash on the receiver.
If communication is lost between the wall module and 
receiver, the receiver will try three times to reestablish 
communication. After 3 tries (90 seconds), the receiver will go 
into a sleep mode, and will retry to communicate every 10 
minutes. Output from the receiver will be an open circuit for 
temperature and setpoint output (simulating cut wires on a 
wired sensor). Communication will re-establish automatically 
once signal is within range.
BINDING THE WALL MODULE 
AND RECEIVER TO EACH 
OTHER
The TR21-WK and TR23-WK wireless kits include a wall 
module and receiver that have already been bound in the 
factory to automatically communicate with each other. They 
can be identified as matching by the identical bind numbers 
printed on the labels. The S2 and S3 DIP switches on the 
receiver (used to bind the two devices) and the 12 DIP 
switches on the wall module will all be in the OFF position. As 
soon as power is applied to the receiver and the batteries are 
installed in the wall module, the two devices start to talk to 
each other. If the two devices don’t communicate immediately, 
remove and re-install one battery, leaving it out for 10 seconds 
OR you can initiate communication by pressing the signal 
strength button on the sensor (using paperclip).
Each wireless kit has a unique binding, so even though 
multiple wireless kits have S2 and S3 switches all in the OFF 
position, each device will only communicate to the device to 
which it was paired and shipped as a kit.
There may be times when you want to bind a receiver to a wall 
module using the DIP switches. This is done simply by 
matching any S2/S3 DIP switch settings on the receiver with 
the DIP switch settings on the wall module. Wall modules in 
close proximity must have different DIP switch settings 
(except when modules are using the all-OFF default binding).
DIP switches S2/S3 are provided for two reasons:
• If the wall module needs to be replaced, a TR21-WS or 
TR23-WS wall module can be purchased. To bind any wall 
module and receiver, simply set the DIP switches S2/S3 on 
both the receiver and the wall module to any matching DIP 
configuration. To prepare for this ahead of time, the 
receiver and wall module in the WK kit can be set with a 
matching dip switch configuration when mounted. The tear 
off tab on the receiver allows the installer to write down the 
on/off DIP configuration. Then the new wall module’s DIP 
switches can be set by matching the old wall module’s DIP 
switches, without having to set or check the DIP switches 
on the receiver.
• If wall modules and receivers get mixed up in the field 
(even though they are marked with matching numbers from 
the factory), DIP switches can be used to bind any wall 
module to any receiver simply by matching the S2/S3 DIP 
switches. If setting DIP switches, be sure that each 
wireless sensor/receiver pair in a given building has a 
unique DIP switch setting to prevent cross-talk.
Fig. 8 shows matching DIP switch settings binding the wall 
module and receiver.
Controller Matching
The TR21 and TR23 wireless wall modules can be used with 
many different controllers. The S1 switch on the receiver can 
be set for a number of different controller requirements. See 
Table 2 for DIP switch settings, and see Table 3 for a 
description of the controller.

Low Battery Signal
When there are approximately 2 months of battery life 
remaining, the LED on the front of the wall module (next to the 
Override button) will flash red every 15 seconds. In addition, 
the LOW BAT digital output from the receiver will close. This 
LOW BAT output signal can be sent to an unused DI on the 
controller to let the user know that there is a low battery 
condition. Replace the batteries whenever the LOW BAT 
contact closes, or flashing red light is seen next to the 
Override LED on the face of the wall module. Normal 
operation will automatically resume.
NOTE: If the batteries go dead, the LOW BAT digital output 
(open/close) signal will open again. The LOW BAT 
digital output will close only when batteries are run-
ning low, not when they are completely dead, or are 
not installed. This ensures that a lack of signal is not 
confused with dead or missing batteries. Whenever 
there is no signal, or batteries have gone completely 
dead, the receiver LOWBAT output will send an open 
circuit reading to the controller for temperature (and 
set point, if applicable).
Override Button
To save battery life, the override button LED will only light 
when the button is pressed. It will not remain lit, as on 
standard wired TR23 and TR24 models. Override will still be 
activated when the button is pressed. If using with the XL10, 
pressing and briefly holding the override button will cause it to 
behave like other standard wired TR23s.   The LED will 
remain lit for 9 seconds max. to confirm it has been pressed 
from 1-4 seconds.
REPLACING A WALL MODULE
When replacing a wall module, set the DIP switches the same 
as the wall module being replaced. If the previous wall module 
DIP switches are all set to OFF, it will be necessary to reset 
the S2 and S3 receiver dip switches to any configuration not 
being used by other receivers in the area, and then set the 
wall module DIP switches to the same setting. At least one of 
the 12 DIP switches must be set to the ON (up) position.
General Rules for Installing Wireless 
Wall Modules
Communication between the wall module and receiver can be 
influenced by a number of factors. Type and thickness of 
building materials and the way in which they are oriented in 
relation to the wall module and receiver will affect 
communication.
Do not place either the wall module or receiver inside metal 
cabinets or enclosures.Try to orient the wall module and 
receiver so that if they are separated by a wall(s), the direction 
of signal travel is as perpendicular to the wall(s) as possible. 
This reduces the effective wall thickness.
When mounting the receiver on a metal duct, stronger 
communication is possible if the wall module is on the same 
side of the duct so the signal doesn’t need to travel through 
the metal duct.
Reduce as much as possible the amount of metal (ducts, file 
cabinets, etc.) between the sensor and the wall module.
Standard drywall (gypsum board) does not greatly affect 
signal strength.
For the most robust wireless link, install the wall module in 
locations with the strong signal (Green light as described in 
Table 1).
