This WGLA Series quick start installation guide provides basic installation instructions for the WGLA switch used in
conjunction with a Limitless™ Wireless Panel Mount Monitor (WPMM). If necessary, refer to the WGLA or WPMM
Installation and Technical Manual for further detailed information regarding installation.
1.1 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.
1.2 Battery Connection Procedure
WARNING
RISK OF DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY FROM EXPLOSION OR FIRE
Connection and disconnection of the batteries should only be performed in a non-hazardous area. The
batteries used in this device may present a risk of fire or chemical burn if mistreated. Do not recharge,
disassemble, heat above 100 °C [212 °F], or incinerate.
Failure to comply with these instructions could result in death or serious injury.
WARNING
RISK OF DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY FROM EXPLOSION OR FIRE
If WGLA is to be returned to Honeywell for any reason, the battery MUST be removed prior to shipping.
Dispose of used batteries promptly per local regulations or the battery manufacturer’s recommendations.
Keep away from children. Do not disassemble and do not dispose of in fire.
Failure to comply with these instructions could result in death or serious injury.
ATTENTION
Use only the following 3.6V lithium thionyl chloride (Li-SOCl2) battery (non-rechargeable), size 2/3AA.
No other batteries are approved for use in the WGLA Series limit switch.

WGLA battery activation:
Tools required: Slotted or Phillips screwdriver
Step Action
1 If applicable, remove the two screws con the housing cover.
2 Using a finger, press down slightly on the battery top dand remove the battery insulator e. Insure that the
battery is properly seated and making good contact.
3 Replace cover and retighten screws or immediately proceed to Section 1.3 Pairing Mode.
Figure 1. Limitless™ Switch Housing Figure 2. Limitless™ Battery and Insulator
1.3 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 of
the WGLA Installation and Technical manual. This file is also located as a separate file on this CD or

The battery will need to be activated in the WGLA and proper power applied to the WPMM (green dLED
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 hon the housing cover (See Figure 3) of the WGLA and
locate the function button ito be used in Step 4.
3 WPMM: Press the Function button fon WPMM (See Figure 4) for more than four seconds and less than
eight seconds at which time the green dand amber eLEDs 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 i(See Figure 5)
and hold depressed for more than one second and less than 12 seconds at which time the orange jLED
turns on. While in pairing mode, the orange led will flash on for 100 ms every second. The orange jLED
flashes three times 100 ms on, 100 ms off when pairing succeeds. If pairing does not succeed, the orange
jLED will turn off and user will need to repeat steps starting with Step 3.
5 WPMM: Successful pairing will be indicated by the green dand amber eLEDs (See Figure 4) 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 gshould
illuminate along with a buzzer sound.
7 Record the WGLA Sequence # on identification labels cand apply to the WGLA housing in desired
locations (See Figure 6).
8 Repeat Steps 2-7 to add additional WGLA switches. Up to 16 WGLAs can be paired to a single WPMM.

1.4 WGLA Mounting
The WGLA housing has four mounting holes that will accept a M5 or #10 size screw. Two of the mounting holes
are slotted to allow adjustment of the switch actuator to the customer actuator during installation. It is suggested
that the two slotted holes have screws installed and adjustment be made before installing screws in the non-slotted
holes.
Note: The adjustment process should not allow preload of the switch actuator and the full travel of the switch
actuator should not exceed the switch over travel maximum specification. (See installation drawing at
www.honeywell.com/sensing)

1.5 Antenna Adjustment
The antenna of the WGLA and WPMM should be oriented with respect to each other such that they are parallel.
This will in most cases allow the longest range and highest RF communication link/signal. The least RF signal is
normally in a direction in-line with the top of the antenna, so it is best to avoid having the antennas pointed directly
toward each other, or directly away from each other. An acceptable RF signal is also indicated by the WPMM. This
can be checked by making sure the red gLED turns on when the WGLA is actuated but the amber eLED is off.
