•Elbow
Figure 4. Elbow antenna adjustment
If your model has the integral elbow antenna you can adjust it to improve reception. The least signal radiation is in a
direction in line with the top (pointed end), so it is best to avoid having the antenna pointed directly toward, or
directly away from, the multinode. Typically, pointed straight up gives best performance but your installation may
vary. Loosen the 1,5 mm [approx. 1/16 in] set screw located near the antenna base. Rotate antenna for best
reception. Do not rotate antenna more than 180 degrees either direction or the internal antenna cable could be
damaged. Tighten set screw.
•Straight
Figure 5. Integral straight antenna
If your model has the integral straight antenna you can adjust its position by rotating the sensor housing. (See
Section 2). Typically, pointed straight up gives best performance but your installation may vary.

operating parameters, and to create linkages between blocks that make up the sensor’s configuration.
These changes are written to the sensor when it is authenticated by a security key. See Section 5.
If this is the first WCX Series sensor installed on your OneWirelessnetwork you will need to update the
DD files in wireless builder in order to properly communicate with the WCX Series sensor. These files are
available on the CD that was included with the sensor. If this is not the first device, please proceed to
section 3.5.
Table 2. Updating DD Files
Step Action
1 Copy the folder “WCX DD files” from the provided WCX Series documentation CD to a known location on
the host PC. The files may also be downloaded from the web at:
http://hpsweb.honeywell.com/Cultures/en-US/Products/Wireless/
xyr6000wireless/XYR6000ValvePositioner/default.htm
2 Go to File->New->Type->Wireless Device and then browse to the path of the WCX DD Files.
3 Select the device that appears and then click OK. This creates a new device type in Wireless Builder.
3.5 Connecting to Network
For instructions on how to use an Authentication Device to connect the WCX Series sensor to the
OneWirelessnetwork, see Section 5.6.
Table 3. Connecting and Commissioning the Sensor
Step Action
1 Connecting device to OneWirelessnetwork
1.1 If applicable, remove two T-15 TORX screws and cover lock clamp.
1.2 Using a screwdriver or other tool across the two tabs of the cover, unscrew and remove the cover.
1.3 Remove the battery insulator. Reseat the batteries if necessary and verify that the LCD display reads “NO
KEY”
1.4 After transmitter restarts, use authentication device to transmit key and connect transmitter.
1.5 Device will go through discovery mode, then secure itself to OneWirelessnetwork. After this phase, the
WCX sensor will appear in Wireless Builder as an uncommissioned device.
2 Commissioning device in Wireless Builder
2.1 Right click on the WCX device block and select commission device. If a prompt appears requesting DD
files, then exit this screen and follow the instructions in Table 2.
2.2 Enter a new tag name if desired. Click Next and then click Finish.
2.3 Right click on the device tranducer block and then select Activate -> Selected Device.
2.4 Wait a few minutes and then the device will be active and transmitting data.

3.6 Setting the Range and Engineering Units
Position Sensor with NO shaft restoring force (Shaft Code A, B, N):
The WCX valve position sensor with NO shaft restoring force is calibrated at the factory to a range of 0 %
to 100 % over a 250° span. However it is possible to set the range or rescale the sensor’s engineering
units to give an output within the particular range of the application (i.e. -125° to +125°) (see range setting
below).
Position Sensor with shaft spring return force (Shaft Code C, D, M):
The WCX valve position sensor with shaft spring return force is calibrated at the factory to a range of 0
% to 100 % over a ±90° span. However it is possible to set the range or rescale the sensor’s engineering
units to give an output within the particular range of the application (i.e. -45° to +45°) (see range setting
below).
There are options in Wireless Builder to restore calibration and clear calibration. Do not use the Cal
Clear or Cal Restore options as this may result in incorrect sensor output readings and require the unit to
be returned for factory calibration.
Range Setting:
Calibration units (CAL_UNIT) can be set from wireless builder. This determines what measurement units
the output of the sensor will be display. The choices for the WCX Series are:
Percent Percent of max rotation (Default)
max range 0 % to 100 %
Deg. Degrees of rotation Max range 250° (may be 0° to 250° or -125° to +125°, or
-45° to +45° for example)
Volts dc Internal potentiometer voltage Max range 0.0 V to 1.7 V nominal
This is only used for factory calibration
The WCX valve position sensor input shaft is connected to a potentiometer through a slip clutch, limiting the
usable output range to 250 degrees. When rotated past 250° the output of the sensor will remain constant.
This is depicted as a “no change zone” on the below drawing.
