Declaration
Honeywell does not recommend using devices for critical control where there is a single
point of failure or where single points of failure result in unsafe conditions. This release
of OneWireless (R110) is targeted at open loop control, supervisory control, and controls
that do not have environmental or safety consequence. As with any process control
solution the end-user must weigh the risks and benefits to determine if the products used
are the right match for the application based on security, safety, and performance.
Additionally, it is up to the end-user to ensure that the control strategy sheds to a safe
operating condition if any crucial segment of the control solution fails.

OneWireless System
Overview
OneWireless is Honeywell’s network solution which connects process sensors and
transmitters to the control system wirelessly in an industrial control environment.
OneWireless uses Radio Frequency (RF) communications to transfer process data
between the sensors and the control system, rather than the traditional wired connections.
WNSIA solution
There are four major components that make up Honeywell’s OneWireless network:
1. Wireless sensors (field I/O devices, such as temperature or pressure transmitters) that
provide replacement for non-electronic or legacy wired sensors.
2. Wireless network infrastructure nodes (Multinodes) that serve as the network
backbone to route wireless traffic towards the gateway and the control system.
3. Wireless System Gateways (WSGs) which act as bridges between the wireless
network and the wired plant network.
4. Wireless device configuration tools (Wireless Builder, Key Server, Network
Management and Diagnostics) allow users to configure, operate and monitor
wireless devices.
A typical OneWireless network using these components is shown in Figure 1.

OneWireless System
Overview

6/08
NOTE: The Key Server and Wireless Builder are installed on the OneWireless Server.
Figure 1 Honeywell’s OneWireless solution for Wireless Network for
Secure Industrial Applications (WNSIA)
OneWireless Network topology
Honeywell uses a wireless mesh network to achieve the OneWireless solution. A mesh
network provides multiple RF communication paths between multinodes and Wireless
System Gateways to transfer data to and from the wireless field devices. For example, in
Figure 1 the WSG is connected to the wired network of the control system. Four
multinodes are operating as Access Points (APs), communicating with the field devices
and the WSG. Each multinode also is communicating with the other multinodes to form
a mesh network. Multiple communications paths are also made between any field
device and the WSG via any multinode in the network. Wi Fi clients can connect to the
network via the multinode access points.

Agency compliance information
This section contains agency compliance information for Honeywell’s OneWireless
Multinode. For additional details on compliance information, see also the OneWireless
Multinode Agency Compliance Professional Installation Guide.
Compliance statements and restrictions
This section contains the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), Industry Canada
(IC) and Radio Frequency compliance statements for the OneWireless Multinode device.
FCC compliance statements
•This device complies with Part 15 of FCC Rules and Regulations. Operation 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 undesired operation.
•This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A
digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to
provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential
installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radiofrequency energy
and, if not installed and used in accordance with these instructions, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a
residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be
required to correct the interference at their own expense.
•Intentional or unintentional changes or modifications must not be made to the
Multinode unless under the express consent of the party responsible for compliance.
Any such modifications could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment and
will void the manufacturer’s warranty.
IC compliance statements
•To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain
should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropic radiated power (EIRP) is not more
than that permitted for successful communication.
•Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause
interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference
that may cause undesired operation of the device.
•This Class A digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003.
•French: Cet appareil numérique de la classe A est conforme à la norme NMB-
003 du Canada.

Radio Frequency (RF) statement
To comply with FCC’s and Industry Canada’s RF exposure requirements, the following
antenna installation and device operating configurations must be satisfied.
•Remote Point-to-Multi-Point antenna(s) for this unit must be fixed and mounted on
outdoor permanent structures with a separation distance between the antenna(s) of
greater than 20cm and a separation distance of at least 20cm from all persons.
•Remote Fixed Point-to-Point antenna(s) for this unit must be fixed and mounted on
outdoor permanent structures with a separation distance between the antenna(s) of
greater than 20cm and a separation distance of at least 100cm from all persons.
•Furthermore, when using integral antenna(s) the Multinode unit must not be co-
located with any other antenna or transmitter device and have a separation distance
of at least 20cm from all persons.
European Union restriction
France restricts outdoor use to 10mW (10dBm) EIRP in the frequency range of 2,454-
2,483.5 MHz. Installations in France must limit EIRP to 10dBm, for operating modes
utilizing frequencies in the range of 2,454 - 2,483.5MHz.

Agency approval marks
The following table describes the agency approval for the Honeywell OneWireless
Multinode.
Symbol Description
The Factory Mutual®Approval mark means the equipment has
been rigorously tested and certified to be reliable.
The Canadian Standards mark means the equipment has been
tested and meets applicable standards for safety and/or
performance.
The Ex mark means the equipment complies with the requirements
of the European standards that are harmonized with the 94/9/EC
Directive (ATEX Directive, named after the French "ATmosphere
EXplosible").
For radio equipment used in the European Union in accordance
with the R&TTE Directive the CE Mark and the notified body (NB)
identification number is used when the NB is involved in the
conformity assessment procedure. The alert sign must be used
when a restriction on use (output power limit by a country at certain
frequencies) applies to the equipment and must follow the CE
marking.
The C-Tick mark is a certification trade mark registered to ACMA
(Australian Communications and Media Authority) in Australia under
the Trade Marks Act 1995 and to RSM in New Zealand under
section 47 of the NZ Trade Marks Act. The mark is only to be used
in accordance with conditions laid down by ACMA and RSM. This
mark is equal to the CE Mark used in the European Union.
N314 directly under the logo is Honeywell’s unique supplier
identification number.
