1DESCRIPTION
1.1 General
The new Limitless™ product line combines the best of MICRO SWITCH™ global 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™ global limit switch, WGLA switch, or simply the WGLA.
1.2 Principle of Operation
The WGLA will transmit the position of its actuator to a Limitless™ Wireless Panel Mount Monitor (WPMM Series).
The WPMM will then indicate the actuator position of the WGLA via a visual indicator, audible indicator and/or
electronic output. The WGLA supports no electrical signal inputs and is powered by a replaceable battery.

The following website contains additional information about the Radio and Telecommunications Terminal Equipment
(R&TTE) directive:
http://ec.europa.eu/enterprise/sectors/rtte/faq/
3EQUIVALENT ISOTROPICALLY RADIATED POWER (EIRP)
In radio communication systems, Equivalent Isotropically Radiated Power (EIRP) or alternatively, Effective Isotropic
Radiated Power, is the amount of power that would have to be emitted by an isotropic antenna (that evenly
distributes power in all directions and is a theoretical construct) to produce the peak power density observed in the
direction of maximum antenna gain. EIRP can take into account the losses in transmission line and connectors and
includes the gain of the antenna. The EIRP is often stated in terms of decibels over a reference power level that
would be the power emitted by an isotropic radiator with equivalent signal strength. The EIRP allows making
comparisons between different emitters regardless of type, size or form. From the EIRP, and with knowledge of a
real antenna's gain, it is possible to calculate real power and field strength values.
Values found in Tables 11 and 12.
EIRP (dBm) = Max. Radio Output Power (dBm) – Min. Cable/Connector Loss (dB) + Max. Antenna Gain (dBi)
EIRP Example for WGLA Series:
5.5 dBi Omni remote antenna used in ETSI/European Countries including France restriction
EIRP = 8 dBm – 4.53 dB + 5.5 dBi
EIRP = 8.97 dBm (value is less than the max. EIRP allowed of 10.00 dBm)
Antenna gain is expressed relative to a (theoretical) isotropic reference antenna (dBi).

ATTENTION
If using the WGLA in a portable application (for example, the WGLA 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 Table 11:
1. Antennas listed in this chart are approved for use with the Digi International XBee –PRO®RF Module which
the WPMM utilizes.
2. The following shall apply for antenna type, frequency range, application/usage and agency/country
compliance:
•Antenna gains above the maximum values shown shall not be used.
•Cable length/loss below the minimum values shown shall not be used.
•Maximum overall radio output power shown shall not be exceeded.
•Maximum EIRP values shown above shall not be exceeded.
3. 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.
5QUICK START UP
5.1 Antenna Connection
WARNING
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 WGLA should not be applied (ensure battery is removed) during installation of antenna as
damage could occur to the WGLA electronics.
The antenna and antenna guard are packaged separately and thus will need to be assembled to the WGLA.
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 WGLA. 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 WGLA location. The extension cable will need to have one end with a RP-SMA plug connector
which will mate with the WGLA 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.
Refer to Section 6.3 for further information regarding installation.

5.3 Pairing Mode
Pairing is required to initiate and establish an RF communication link between each single WGLA and a single
WPMM. The WGLA will be shipped from the factory with two identification labels (1) that are recommended to be
completed and applied to the WGLA housing during the pairing mode. As there are up to 16 WGLAs that can be
paired to a single WPMM, these labels will be used to identify the WGLA switch in the sequence of #1 to #16. The
initial WGLA switch paired to the WPMM will be Sequence #1; the second WGLA paired will be Sequence #2 and so
on. If replacing a WGLA switch that has been purged (see section 6.5 of the WPMM Installation and Technical
Manual), identify the correct replacement Sequence # on the identification labels.
ATTENTION
The operation and LED functions for the WPMM are visually depicted and described in Section 5.4.

The battery will need to be activated in the WGLA and proper power applied to the WPMM (green LED
illuminated) before proceeding with this pairing procedure. Once the pairing is completed, the WGLA selected will
only communicate with the WPMM it was paired to and no other device.
Step Action
1 Completely read this procedure before starting in order to understand the timing of events that need to be
performed.
2 WGLA: Remove (if required) the two screws on the housing cover (See Figure 4) of the WGLA and locate
the function button to be used in Step 4.
3 WPMM: Press the Function button

on WPMM (See Figure 5) for more than four seconds and less than
eight seconds at which time the green and amber LEDs will be flashing which indicates to release the
function button immediately as it has entered the pairing mode.
4 WGLA: Within a 30 second interval of Step 3, depress the WGLA switch function button

(See Figure 6)
and hold depressed for more than one second and less than 12 seconds at which time the orange LED
turns on. While in pairing mode, the orange led will flash on for 100 ms every second. The orange LED
flashes three times 100 ms on, 100 ms off when pairing succeeds. If pairing does not succeed, the orange
LED will turn off and user will need to repeat steps starting with Step 3.
5 WPMM: Successful pairing will be indicated by the green and amber LEDs (See Figure 5) ceasing to
flash and remaining on for a few seconds before turning off. A short buzzer beep will also occur.
6 To confirm proper pairing between the WGLA and WPMM, actuate the WGLA, and the red LED should
illuminate along with a buzzer sound.
7 Record the WGLA Sequence # on identification labels and apply to the WGLA housing in desired
locations (See Figure 7).
8 Repeat Steps 2-7 to add additional WGLA switches. Up to 16 WGLAs can be paired to a single WPMM.
ATTENTION
The purging of a WGLA per Section 5.4 is required when a previously paired WGLA is desired to be
paired again.

5.4 WGLA Purge Mode
The purging of a WGLA is required when a previously paired WGLA is desired to paired again per Section 5.3.
Follow the procedure below which will then allow a new pairing to be conducted after successful purging:
Step Action
1 Remove (if required) the two screws

on the housing cover of the WGLA (See Figure 4) and locate the
switch function button & orange LED (See Figure 6).
2 Press and hold the switch function button for greater than 12 seconds. Initially the orange LED

turns on
and after the 12 seconds will turn off indicating the WGLA has been purged.
3 Repeat above steps if necessary to purge more Limitless™ switch(s).
5.5 WPMM Operation and LED functions
5.5.1 Principle of Operation of the WPMM and Limitless™ Switch :
A Limitless™ switch will send an RF signal to the WPMM when the actuator of the switch changes position. There
are up to 16 Limitless™ switches that will communicate and indicate their actuation position with a single WPMM.
The actuation (Free Position to Full Overtravel) of any one of the Limitless™ switches will cause a single red output
LED to illuminate, a buzzer to sound, and a change in the NPN output. However, there will be no differentiation of
outputs (visual, audible or NPN state change) between the Limitless™ switches (up to 16) being actuated. Further, if
a Limitless™ switch is actuated and thus causes the single red output LED to illuminate, a buzzer to sound, and a
change in the NPN output, actuation of another Limitless™ switch(s) will not cause another output change (visual,
audible or NPN state change).
The operation and LED functions for the WPMM are visually depicted and described in the attached file. This file is
also located as a separate file on this CD or @ www.honeywell.com/sensing.
