mWARNING
Honeywell does not recommend using devices for critical
control applications where there is, or may be, a single point of
failure or where single points of failure may result in an unsafe
condition. It is up to the end-user to weigh the risks and benefits
to determine if the products are appropriate for the application
based on security, safety and performance. Additionally, it is
up to the end-user to ensure that the control strategy results in
a safe operating condition if any crucial segment of the control
solution fails. Honeywell customers assume full responsibility
for learning and meeting the required Declaration of Conformity,
Regulations, Guidelines, etc. for each country in their distribution
market.
mWARNING
RF EXPOSURE
To satisfy FCC RF exposure requirements for mobile transmitting
devices, a separation distance of 20 cm or more should be
maintained between the antenna of this device and persons
during device operation To ensure compliance, operation at
closer than this distance is not recommended. The antenna
used for this transmission must not be co-located in conjunction
with any other antenna or transmitter.
Failure to comply with these instructions could result in
death or serious injury.
mWARNING
The WLS must be installed in accordance with the requirements
specified in this document in order to comply with the specific
Country Communication Agency requirements (i.e., FCC, IC,
ETSI, ACMA, etc.). See Section 3 as this requires choosing the

Limitless™ Series WLS Limit Switch ISSUE 3 50054911
1 DESCRIPTION
1.1 General
The new Limitless™ product line combines the best of MICRO SWITCH™ Heavy Duty limit switches with the latest commercial off-the-
shelf wireless technology. Wireless-enabled limit switches can now be used for position sensing and presence/absence detection for
a wide variety of applications. The Limitless™ Series is especially beneficial for remote monitoring applications where wiring or wire
maintenance is not physically possible or economically feasible. Combining this greater flexibility with proven harsh duty packaging
can result in increased efficiencies and improved safety for machine and equipment OEMs and operators. This document will provide
installation instructions to properly install a Limitless™ Heavy Duty limit switch, WLS switch, or simply the WLS as well as the WLS
Single Switch Adapter and WLS Non-Contact Switch. The unique features of the WLS Single Switch Adapter will be referred to when
necessary although will normally be included in the simple WLS reference.
1.2 Principle of Operation
The WLS will transmit the position of its actuator (mechanical or magnetic) or user-supplied switch for the WLS Single Switch Adapter
to a Limitless™ Wireless Panel Mount Monitor (WPMM Series) or Limitless™ Wireless DIN Rail Receiver (WDRR Series). The WPMM or
WDRR will then indicate the actuator position of the WLS, magnetic target (WLS Non-Contact Switch only) or user-supplied switch for
the WLS Single Switch Adapter via a visual indicator, audible indicator and/or electronic output. The WLS supports no electrical signal
inputs and is powered by a replaceable battery.

, ATTENTION
If using the WLS in a portable application (for example, the WLS is used in a handheld device and the antenna is less than
20 cm from the human body when the device is in operation): The integrator is responsible for passing additional SAR
(Specific Absorption Rate) testing based on FCC rules 2.1091 and FCC Guidelines for Human Exposure to Radio Frequency
Electromagnetic Fields, OET Bulletin and Supplement C. The testing results will be submitted to the FCC for approval prior to
selling the integrated unit. The required SAR testing measures emissions from the module and how they affect the person.
, ATTENTION
The antenna cables should not be modified (i.e. cut short and/or re-terminated) as it may affect Communication Agency approval.
Notes for Section 3.1& 3.2 • Tables 13 and 14:
1. Antennas listed in this chart are approved for use with the Digi International XBee –PRO®RF Module which the WLS utilizes.
2. Industry Canada Compliance Statement: This device has been designed to operate with the antenna types listed in this
document, and having a maximum gain of 9 dBi. Antenna types not included in this list or having a gain greater than 9 dBi
are strictly prohibited for use with this device. The required antenna impedance is 50 Ohm.

4 QUICK START UP
This WLS Series quick start installation guide provides basic installation instructions for the WLS used in conjunction with a Limitless™
Wireless Panel Mount Monitor (WPMM) or a Limitless™ Wireless DIN Rail Receiver (WDRR). If necessary, refer to the WDRR or WPMM
Installation and Technical Manual for further detailed information regarding installation.
4.1 Antenna Connection
mWARNING
RF EXPOSURE
To satisfy FCC RF exposure requirements for mobile transmitting devices, a separation distance of 20 cm [7.87 in] or more should
be maintained between the antenna of this device and persons during device operation To ensure compliance, operation at closer
than this distance is not recommended. The antenna used for this transmission must not be co-located in conjunction with any
other antenna or transmitter.
Failure to comply with these instructions could result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION
Power to the WLS should not be applied (ensure battery is removed) during installation of antenna as damage could occur to the
WLS electronics.
The antenna and antenna guard are packaged separately and thus will need to be assembled to the WLS Series.
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 WLS. Tighten the connection until finger tight. Then, attach the antenna guard by simply threading the
guard finger tight onto the threaded base with the RP-SMA connector.
A remote mount antenna requires the use of an extension cable to allow the antenna to be mounted in a different location than the
WLS location. The extension cable will need to have one end with a RP-SMA plug connector which will mate with the WLS connector
jack under the same mounting procedure as the direct mount antenna. The other end of the extension cable will need to mate with
antenna connector directly or it may be integral to the particular remote mount antenna chosen.
4.2 End User Switch Connection (WLS Single Switch Adapter option only)
A WLS Single Switch Adapter requires the use of an end-user supplied switch that is electrically connected to the WLS Single Switch
Adapter. The switch design must be SPDT (Form C) low-energy contact design (i.e. gold contacts), capable of reliably controlling a
30 mA @ 3.6 Vdc electrical load. The electrical connections are made using the M12 micro-connector supplied with the WLS Single
Switch Adapter along with the end-user supplied connector with three-wire mating cable (see Figure 2 as an example). Another elec-
trical connection option for the WLS Single Switch Adapter utilizes an end-user supplied three-wire electrical cable routed through a
cable grip on the WLS Single Switch Adapter and connected to an internal electrical connector (see Figure 4 as an example.).
Electrical connections: Special code BT1 or BT2 in the WLS Single Switch Adapter part number: User supplied connector with
three-wire mating cable for use with WLS Single Switch Adapter M12 micro-connector.
The user-supplied electrical connector/cable must mate with Molex p/n: 1200700056 (Brad Harrison p/n: 8R3A00A18A120).

Honeywell Sensing and Control 15
Limitless™ Series WLS Limit Switch ISSUE 3 50054911
Step 1: Each conductor color in the user-supplied cable needs to be connected to the end-user supplied switch as follows (see Fig-
ure 2 as an example):
BROWN wire: Connect to common terminal of the user-supplied switch
BLACK wire: Connect to normally open terminal of the user-supplied switch
BLUE wire: Connect to normally closed terminal of the user-supplied switch
Figure 2. Limitless™ WLS Single Switch Adapter BT1 & BT2 User-supplied Wire Conductors to Switch Terminal
Connections
Step 2: Connect the user-supplied mating connector w/cable to the WLS Single Switch Adapter M12 connector. Then tighten connec-
tor (see Figure 3).

Step Action
1 Remove the four (4) mounting screws and the WLS Single Switch Adapter plastic head and route the user-supplied cable
through the WLS Single Switch Adapter cable grip. Do not tighten the cable grip nut at this time. See Figure 4.
2 Connect the three (3) user-supplied wires to the user-supplied switch terminal (common, normally open, and normally
closed). See example in Figure 5 (page 16).
3 Connect the user-supplied switch (common, normally open, and normally closed) wires to the same labeled internal con-
nector (COM, NO, NC) of the WLS Single Switch Adapter. See example in Figure 6 (page 16).
4 Re-install WLS Single Switch Adapter plastic head as the cable is gently pulled through the cable grip so an excessive
amount of cable is not inside the WLS Single Switch Adapter plastic head. Torque the four (4) mounting screws on the
WLS Single Switch Adapter plastic head to 1,36 N-m to 1,8 N-m [12 in-lb to 16 in-lb]. See Figure 4.
