Installation and Operation Instructions for the Wireless Temp/RH or Light Sensor.
Point Six, Inc.
Wireless Temperature/Relative-Humidity or Light
Sensor Model WOWTHL
Installation and Operation Instructions
The WOWTHL wireless temperature Relative-Humidity or Light level sensor transmits a
digital temperature, relative-humidity (or light level) and a unique serial number to a 418
MHz receiver. The WOWTHL is enclosed in a high impact ABS enclosure for direct
surface mounting in the environment to be measured. The WOWTHL is battery
operated.
Application: Apply the sensor to the surface to be monitored with double-sided
adhesive tape. Make sure that the side labeled with FCC ID is visible and away from any
metal surfaces.
Service Function: The wireless sensor has an installation mode switch. A momentary
push of this switch will start the convert/transmit cycles. When new and until this button
is pushed the WOWTHL will not transmit. The WOWTHL will transmit a special
installation status mark in the data packet immediately after the installation/start switch is
pushed. After the start a push of the installation switch will result in the immediate
transmission of temperature, relative-humidity (or light level) ID and installation status
mark.
Battery: A 3.0-3.6 Volt lithium battery powers the WOWTHL wireless sensor. The
battery will last for more than 10 years in the idle state (as shipped from the
manufacturer). The WOWTHL will transmit data for as long as 3 years at a rate of once
each minute once started. The WOWTHL is completely covered with a water resistant
rubber coating to protect the electronics from the environment and condensation. The
user cannot replace the battery. The WOWTHL may be placed in a quiescent state
(battery life greater than 10 years) by holding the installation switch closed for more than
12 seconds.

Wireless Sensor Data Format
The Point Six, Inc. 418 MHz wireless sensors require a compatible receiver with the
ability to receive, error check and provide RS232 and RS422/485 interface. This
document describes the data format provided by the HA8-wow 418 MHz. Receiver.
The transmit packet from a receiver is approximately 15 milliseconds in duration and
consists of 13 bytes of data:
1-byte ID/Mode field
8-byte serial number
2-byte temperature/relative-humidity or temperature/light level
2-byte CRC-16 error check
The HA8-wow receiver processes this packet. The receiver performs a CRC-16 error
check on the packet. If the data is not accurate it is discarded. When a packet is received
that is error free it is converted to a 29-character packet and transmitted out the serial port
at 19,200 Baud. The data is transmitted serially in ASCII Hex format and terminated with
a CR character. This format requires two bytes for each byte of data; 14 data bytes x
2=28 plus the CR is 29 characters. See the HA8-wow specification for details.
The resulting binary data format of the packet is:
1-byte ID field this field will contain a byte whose LSBit indicates the service
state of the transmitter, 0=normal, 1=service mode.
8-byte serial# this field contains the serial number of the 1-Wire sensor.
2-byte data this field contains the temperature %RH or temperature/light level
stored MSB first. The MSbit of the MSB is the sign bit for the
temperature value which is stored as the LSB in ½ deg C units.
THIS DEVICE COMPLIES WITH PART 15 OF THE FCC RULES, OPERAT
ION IS
SUBJECT TO THE FOLLOWING TWO CONDITIONS: (1) THIS DEVICE MAY
NOT CAUSE HARMFUL INTERFERENCE AND (2) THIS DEVICE MUST ACCEPT
ANY INTERFERENCE RECEIVED, INCLUDING INTERFERENCE THAT MAY
CAUSE UNDESERED OPERATION
FCC ID: M5ZWOWTHL
MADE IN USA
FCC ID: M5ZWOWTHL
Bits 0-6 of the MSB contain the RH value in %RH (0-100%). In
the case of light level bits 0-6 of the MSB is the relative light level.
2-byte CRC-16 this is the originally received data packet CRC as described above.
1-byte checksum the checksum is a mod 256 sum of all the ASCII character values
in the response but does not include the CR
Example:
C828AE9105000000AA2D2DD474AB<CR>
This field is the mode indicator, the LS-bit which indicates the
service state of the transmitter, C8=normal, C7=service mode.
C828AE9105000000AA2D2DD474AB <CR>
This field is the unique serial number of the 1-Wire sensor.
C828AE9105000000AA2D2DD474AB <CR>
This is the temperature and %RH or light level field. The MSBit
of the MSByte is low so the temperature is a positive number, 2D
is 45 so the temperature is +22.5 C. The %RH is 45. A value on
this field of A1F2 would represent a temperature of (242-256)/2 or
-7 C and a %RH or 33. Temperature is stored in the LSByte, if
the MSBit of the MSB is 1 than the temperature is negative and the
conversion math is (n-256)/2 otherwise use n/2. The light level is
stored just as %RH is stored and is a relative number, higher light
levels result in a higher number and lower light levels result in a
lower number.
C828AE9105000000AA2D2DD474AB <CR>
This field is the CRC-16 error check as was originally received and
checked. This CRC is over the first 11 bytes of the packet starting
with the mode flags and ending with inclusion of the temperature
data.
C828AE9105000000AA2D2DD474AB <CR>
This field is the mod 256 sum of all the ASCII character values in
the response but does not include the <CR>.
C828AE9105000000AA2D2DD474AB <CR>
This is the CR terminator, 0Dhex.
