2.3.1 Recommended Locations
Table 4. WPS Series, GP or AP
Process Suggested location Explanation
Gases Above the gas line The condensate drains away from the sensor.
Liquids
Below but close to the
elevation of the process
connection.
This minimizes the static head effect of the condensate.
Level with or above the
process connection
This requires a siphon to protect the sensor from process steam. The siphon retains
water as a “ll uid.”
2.4 Conduit / Cable Entries
There are no conduit/cable entries for the WPS-Series sensor.
2.5 Bracket mounting
There is no bracket mounting for the WPS-Series sensor. It is supported by the pipe tting on the pressure sensor module.
2.6 Pressure Port
Materials:
• 316L Stainless Steel (pressure port body)
• Hastelloy C-276 (diaphragm)
Process Connection:
• Threads: 1/2” NPT Male thread and 1/4” NPT Female thread
• Swivel: The WPS-Series sensor body will swivel 350 degrees with respect to the pressure port body, to optimize readablilty of the
LCD.
3 PROCESS INSERTION
3.1 Pressure Sensing
3.1.1 Piping
The actual piping arrangement will vary depending upon the process measurement requirements and the sensor model. Process connec-
tions are made to 1/4 inch NPT female or 1/2 inch NPT male connections in the sensor head of the sensor’s body. They can be modied to
accept 3/4 inch NPT male through an optional pipe tting adapter. Elbow ttings may be utilized as required.
The most common type of pipe used is 1/2 inch schedule 80 steel pipe. Many piping arrangements use a three-valve manifold to connect
the process piping to the sensor. A manifold makes it easy to install and remove a sensor without interrupting the process. It also accom-
modates the installation of blow-down valves to clear debris from pressure lines to the sensor.
Another piping arrangement uses a block-off valve and a tee connector in the process piping to the sensor as shown below.

8 Honeywell Sensing and Control
Quick Start Guide for the
WPS Series Wireless Pressure Sensor
ISSUE 1 50095585
Figure 2. Typical Arrangement for 1/2 NPT Process Connection Piping
, ATTENTION
For liquid or steam, the piping should slope a minimum of 25,4 mm [1 in] per 305 mm [1 ft]. Slope the piping down towards the
sensor if the sensor is below the process connection so the bubbles may rise back into the piping through the liquid. If the sensor
is located above the process connection, the piping should rise vertically above the sensor; then slope down towards the flowline
with a vent valve at the high point. For gas measurement, use a condensate leg and drain at the low point (freeze protection may
be required here).
mCAUTION
Property damage may result if operating temperature limits of sensor are exceeded. Sensor housing must not exceed 85 °C [185
°F]. To reduce the temperature of the process that comes into contact with the sensor meter body, install impulse piping. As a
general rule there is a 56 °C drop [100 °F] in the temperature of the process for every foot (305 mm) of ½ inch uninsulated piping.

Figure 3. Process Connection - Pipe Fitting
3.1.3 General piping guidelines
When measuring uids containing suspended solids, install permanent valves at regular intervals to blow-down piping.
Blow-down all lines on new installations with compressed air or steam and ush them with process uids (where possible) before connect-
ing these lines to the sensor’s meter body.
Be sure all the valves in the blow-down lines are closed tight after the initial blow-down procedure and each maintenance procedure after
that.
Mount sensor vertically to assure best accuracy, and to obtain optimum R.F. link performance. Position the spirit balance on pressure con-
nection surface of Sensor body.
3.1.4 Sensor Housing Swiveling
The WPS Series sensor housing will swivel through a 350 degree range to facilitate easy reading of the LCD display. To adjust the swivel
mounting:
1. Insure that the process connector (threaded tting) is in its nal position and is fully tightened, using a wrench on the hex-nut area
above the threads (do NOT tighten using the sensor body).
2. Loosen the large nut just below the housing using a 1 3/4” wrench.
3. Swivel sensor housing as needed.
4. While holding the sensor body in place, gently tighten the large nut with a 1 3/4” wrench to 7 Nm [5.2 ft-lb].

Series transmitter 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.
4.2.1 Direct Mount, General Guidelines
A direct mount antenna (either straight or tilt & swivel) can be easily mounted by threading the mating RP-SMA plug of the antenna to the
RP-SMA jack on the WPS. Tighten the connection until nger tight. For straight antennas, either 0 dBi or 2.0 dBi, attach the antenna ra-
dome with the two screws provided. Insure that the “O” ring is installed in the grove in the sensor housing.
If a radome is not used, and the antenna is in an exposed location, the antenna connector barrel and exposed threads should be protected
from the elements with a weathering tape (such as COAX-SEAL #104 from LComm, or Super 88 tape from 3M).
4.2.2 Direct Mount, Straight
Figure 4. Direct Mount Antenna (not consistent...)
Option 01 Option 02 Radome Installed
Straight antenna available in 0 dBi or 2 dBi congurations.
If the sensor is using the direct mount straight antenna you can adjust its position by mounting the sensor with a 45 or 90 degree elbow.
Typically, pointed straight up gives best performance but your installation may vary. Generally, the 0 dBi antenna will be less sensitive to
antenna orientation, and higher gain antennas will be more sensitive to orientation.

4.2.2 Direct Mount, Tilt and Swivel
If the WP-Series transmitter uses an optional tilt & swivel antenna you can adjust it to improve reception.

The antenna will tilt through 90 degrees only. Rotating will likely be needed as well, to orient the antenna vertically. Typically, pointed straight
up gives best performance but your installation may vary. Swivel and/or tilt antenna for best reception, as viewed on the WDM Interface.

4.3.1 Outdoor Installation Warnings
mWARNING
LIVES MAY BE AT RISK!
Carefully observe these instructions and any special instructions included with the equipment being installed.
mWARNING
CONTACTING POWER LINES COULD BE FATAL
Look over the site before beginning any installation and anticipate possible hazards, especially these:
• Make sure no power lines are near where possible contact can be made. Antennas, masts, towers, guy wires, or cables may
lean or fall and contact these lines. People may be injured or killed if they are touching or holding any part of equipment when it
contacts electric lines. Make sure there is NO possibility that equipment or personnel can come in contact directly or indirectly
with power lines.
• Assume all overhead lines are power lines.
• The horizontal distance from a tower, mast, or antenna to the nearest power line should be at least twice the total length of the
mast/antenna combination. This will ensure that the mast will not contact power if it falls during either installation or later.
mWARNING
TO AVOID FALLING, USE SAFE PROCEDURES WHEN WORKING AT HEIGHTS ABOVE GROUND
• Select equipment locations that will allow safe, simple equipment installation
• Don’t work alone. A friend or co-worker can save a life if an accident happens.
• Use approved, non-conducting ladders and other safety equipment. Make sure all equipment is in good repair.
• If a tower or mast begins falling, don’t attempt to catch it. Stand back and let it fall.
• If anything such as a wire or mast does come in contact with a power line, DON’T TOUCH IT OR ATTEMPT TO MOVE IT. In-
stead, save a life by calling the power company.
• Don’t attempt to erect antennas or towers on windy days.
mWARNING
MAKE SURE ALL TOWERS AND MASTS ARE SECURELY GROUNDED, AND ELECTRICAL CABLES
CONNECTED TO ANTENNAS HAVE LIGHTNING ARRESTORS.
This will help prevent fire damage or human injury in case of lightning, static build up, or short circuit within equipment connected
to antenna.
• The base of the antenna mast or tower must be connected directly to the building protective ground or to one-or-more ap-
proved grounding rods, using 1 AWG ground wire and corrosion-resistant connectors.
• Refer to the National Electrical Code for grounding details.
• Lightning arrestors for antenna feed coaxial cables are available from HyperLink Technologies, Inc.
mWARNING
If a person comes in contact with electrical power, and cannot move
DO NOT TOUCH THAT PERSON OR RISK ELECTROCUTION.
• Use a non-conductive dry board, stick, or rope to push, pull, or drag them so they no longer are in contact with electrical power.
• Once they are no longer contacting electrical power, administer CPR if certied, and make sure emergency medical aid has
been requested.

4.3.2 Cable Requirement
Some remote mount SMA connector antennas have an antenna cable permanently attached, with an RP-SMA plug, which is simply con-
nected to the jack on the sensor. Other remote mount antennas do not include cable, and require the use of an extension cable. This exten-
sion cable will normally need to have one end with an RP-SMA plug (inside threads), which will connect to the sensor, and one end with an
RP-SMA jack (outside threads). The jack of the extension cable will mate with the antenna or the lightning arrestor. If a lightning arrestor is
connected this way, the antenna may be directly connected to the arrestor.
Note that at 2.4 gHz., typical antenna cables types have 0.5 dB of loss per meter (almost 5 dB for a ten foot cable, plus connector losses).
Excessively long cable runs should be avoided if possible.
Refer to the WPS-Series Professional Install Guide for antenna and cable options.
4.3.3 Lightning Arrestor
The lightning arrestor may be mounted directly on the sensor, or at the far end of the antenna cable, mounted to a sheet of metal in a
through-hole. Generally, the choice should be made based on having the shortest, most direct path to a good, solid ground.
If the lightning arrestor is mounted directly on the sensor, use caution when attaching a grounding wire to the arrestor to avoid putting un-
due stress on the sensor’s antenna connector.
If the coax cable is to enter a building, then the lightning arrestor should be mounted as close as possible to where the lead-in wire enters
the building. The lightning arrestor recommended by Honeywell features a bulkhead RP-SMA connector with a rubber “O”-ring seal which
can be used for mounting through an enclosure wall. Both connector ports of the lightning arrestor provide equal protection no matter
which way it is installed. Either port can face the antenna and either port can face the Sensor.
Refer to the WPS-Series Professional Install Guide for further information about lightning arrestors and their installation.
4.3.4 Choosing a Mounting Location
The location of the antenna is important. Objects such as metal columns, walls, etc. will reduce efciency. Best performance is achieved
when antennas for both Multinodes and WPS-Series Sensors are mounted at the same height and in a direct line of sight with no obstruc-
tions. If this is not possible and reception is poor, you should try different mounting positions to optimize reception.
Antennas should be mounted clear of any obstructions to the sides of the radiating element. If the mounting location for an omnidirectional
antenna is on the side of a building or tower, then the antenna pattern will be degraded on the building or tower side.
4.3.5 Site Selection
Before attempting to install your antenna, think where you can best place the antenna for safety and performance.
Follow these steps to determine a safe distance from wires, power lines, and trees.
Step Action
1Measure the height of your antenna.
2 Add this length to the length of your tower or mast and then double this total for the minimum recommended safe distance.
mCAUTION
If you are unable to maintain this safe distance, stop and get professional help.
Generally speaking, the higher your antenna is above the ground, the better it performs. Good practice is to install your antenna about 5 to
10 feet (1.5 to 3 meters) above the roof line and away from all power lines and obstructions. If possible, nd a mounting place directly above
your wireless device so that the lead-in cable can be as direct as possible.
