General Description
The WH2630 and WT2630 are battery operated spread spectrum wireless wall humidity temperature sensors
housed in a rugged enclosure.
ACI’s mesh network Series 2000 wireless sensors utilize reliable Spread Spectrum Radio technology. They can
be installed easily in minutes eliminating hundreds of feet of wire and saving installation cost while reducing
installation labor risks.
The Series 2000 sensor Data-Link LED confirms the data transmission was received by the receiver for fast and
reliable positioning of the sensor during installation. There is no need for special wireless installation equipment
or tool.
Together with the ACI Series 2000 receivers and controllers, the ACI wireless sensors can be used with any
LON, BacNet, MODbus, or DDC control system or panel.
The maximum radio transmission distance is dependent on the building type. The maximum open air
transmission distance is one mile. In a typical commercial building with steel I-Beam construction, concrete
floors with reinforcing rod, and metal stud walls, it can be expected that transmissions will penetrate vertically
through floors and horizontally through 200 to 300 feet of walls, furniture and air.

Installation
Wireless sensors should be installed within 200 to 300 feet of the receiver. RR2552 signal repeaters can be
installed as to increase transmission distance between sensors and receivers.
CAUTION
Observe battery polarity when installing battery.
To select the proper sensor location, first install and power the receiver. To activate the sensor insert the
battery observing the polarity. The mesh networked Series 2000 system does not require any additional wireless
equipment to determine the proper location of the sensors.
While the sensor is attempting to connect to the receiver the Data-Link LED will blink rapidly 8–10 times every
10 seconds. Once a connection has been established the Data-Link LED will blink once to indicate the data
transmission has been received successfully. The Data-Link LED will continue to blink once for every data
transmission. The data transmission rate is programmed into the sensor (normally 1 minute intervals). To
manually initiate a data transmission press the push button switch located by the negative terminal of the battery.
Once the sensor location has been determined mount the sub-base on an inside wall approximately 4.5 feet from
the floor (or in the specified location) to allow exposure to the average zone temperature using two #8 screws,
Velcro™or double sided tape.
Locate and record the sensor ID numbers located on a label inside the unit prior to mounting
Do not mount the sensors 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.
Attach the wall sensor to the sub-base by tightening the two locking screws at the bottom of the sub-base.
NOTE: The locking screw must be installed for a secure installation. The screws are turned counter-clockwise
to secure the cover.
The sensor has a Low Battery LED that will start to blink continuously when the battery voltage is low. A low
battery signal is also sent to the receiver for remote indication that the battery should be replaced. If the battery
is not replaced in approximately 2 months the battery voltage will become so low that the Low Battery and Data-
Link LEDs will not blink. Replace the battery and the Data-Link LED will start blinking while the sensor is re-
establishing communications with the receiver.
PRECAUTIONS
SENSORS,REPEATERS AND RECEIVERS SHOULD NOT BE INSTALLED IN THE FOLLOWING AREAS:
•INSIDE METAL ENCLOSURE /PANEL
•INSIDE OR IMMEDIATELY NEXT TO ELEVATOR SHAFT /ELEVATOR BANKS
•IN FRONT OF OR IMMEDIATELY NEXT TO LARGE TREES OR LARGE BODY OF WATER
TRANSMISSION DISTANCE AND PERFORMANCE WILL BE DRASTICALLY REDUCED.
CAUTION
DO NOT USE THIS PRODUCT IN ANY SAFETY RELATED APPLICATIONS
WHERE HUMAN LIFE MAY BE AFFECTED.
