WARNING
When using a USB connection between this product and a computer, do not let the product's power supply contact the
computer or peripheral devices.
Failure to follow this instruction could result in burns and ignite the product. For example, when grounding the positive
terminal of this product's power supply, do not frame ground the computer, which is connected to this product via
USB. Depending on the computer, some negative terminals on the USB port are attached to the connector's outer
shell. When such a computer is connected to this product, the computer's FG (housing) and negative terminal of this
product's USB port are connected. In this state, if the computer is attached to the metal portions where the positive
terminal of this product's power supply is grounded, 24 V will be applied to this product's negative terminal on the USB
port, which will lead to re.

6.1 Before Installation
6.1.1 What is the WD Wireless Network?
6.1.1.1 About the WD Wireless Network
・The WD wireless network operates on the IEEE802.15.4 (ZigBee) compliant 2.4 GHz frequency. Although it
runs on the same 2.4 GHz frequency as a wireless LAN (Wi-Fi), because it conforms to IEEE802.15.4 the WD
wireless network can operate without a wireless LAN. However, if the frequencies you use overlap, the WD
wireless network could experience transmission delays and other communication issues.
・The wireless communication is encrypted. The encryption standard used is AES-CCM (Advanced Encryption
Standard-Counter with CBC-MAC), with an encryption key of 128 bits.
6.1.1.2 About Selecting a Wireless Channel
・The WD wireless network uses 16 wireless channels (CH11 to CH26).
・Select a wireless channel to avoid conict with the frequency band of the LAN wireless channels in your instal-
lation environment.
・The relationship between frequency bands of channels on the WD wireless network and on the wireless LAN is
as follows.

6.1.1.3 Example Wireless Channel Selection
・
When the wireless LAN uses three channels (CH1, CH6, and CH11), select either CH15, CH20, CH25, or CH26.
・In most cases, selecting CH25 or CH26 will enable you to avoid the wireless LAN channels.

6.1.2 About Grouping and ExtendedPanID
・The WD system requires grouping each WD wireless network (one WDR with multiple connected WDT). You
can dene the group by setting the ExtendedPanID property on the WDR and WDT to the same value. The
ExtendedPanID consists of 16 single-byte, alphanumeric characters. Setup range: 0000 0000 0000 0000 to
FFFF FFFF FFFF FFFE.
・You can use any combination of WDT-5E-Z2, WDT-6M-Z2, WDT-5LR-Z2, and WDT-6LR-Z2.
・The following illustrate how you can set the ExtendedPanID and wireless channels for devices in multiple groups.
・If there are multiple channels available for selection, you should use separate wireless channels for each group. By
distributing groups over multiple channels, you can reduce the load concentrated on a single wireless channel.

CAUTION
When there are multiple WDR in your system, do not use duplicate ExtendedPanID values. The product may not operate
properly.
When the WDT ExtendedPanID is 0000 0000 0000 0000, regardless of the ExtendedPanID setting all the WDR may
be grouped together. In this scenario, because the grouped wireless network is not stable, set any value other than
0000 0000 0000 0000 during conguration.

6.1.3 About the MAC Address
・Static address assigned to WDT-PRO for identication. This address is called a MAC address (IEEE address).
・The MAC address is printed on a nameplate on the back of the WDT-PRO.

6.1.4 How many WDT you can connect to WDR
The number of WDT units you can connect to a WDR is limited by the frequency of information sent to the WDR.
The total transmissions from all WDT connected to the WDR is limited to 120 or less per minute (transmission
interval of 0.5 seconds or longer). To satisfy this condition, use the following table as a guide and determine the
number of connected units.
WDT connection limit Estimated number of Contact Input Information, RS-232C Input Information,
and Clear Input Information transmissions / 1 WDT
30 unit 4 times per minute
20 unit 6 times per minute
10 unit 12 times per minute
5 unit 24 times per minute
1 unit 120 times per minute
6.2 About the Installation Environment
6.2.1 Installation Environment Main Points
There are ve essential points to consider at installation.
No. Description References
1There is no inuence in radio waves at the installation site. Also,
the radio waves at the installation site do not change over time.
☞ 6.2.2 About the In󲶼uence of Surrounding
Radio Waves(P.21)
2
The distance between devices (WDR, WDT) does not exceed
recommendations. The recommended distance between all WDT
and WDR is within line of sight.
☞ 6.2.3 Distance Between Devices(P.22)
3
Each device (WDR and WDT) is in line of sight. To ensure good
line of sight, the location should not be cluttered and should be
free of any obstacles.
☞ 6.2.4 Ensuring Line of Sight(P.22)
4
WDR placement is appropriate.
・Install in a location as high as possible.
・Install away from obstacles that could disrupt radio waves.
☞ 6.2.5 WDR Installation Position and
Obstacles(P.22)
5
Each device is always powered, and the mesh network is always
available. If power is not available for one of the WDT, the
communication path could get interrupted and information may not
be transmitted.
