Information for users
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B 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 radio frequency energy, and if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the
user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following
measures:
•Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna
•Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver
•Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that which the
receiver is connected
•Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help
Caution: To satisfy FCC RF Exposure requirements for mobile and base station
transmission devices, a separation distance of 20cm or more should be maintained
between the antenna of this device and persons during operation. To ensure compliance
operation at closer than this distance is not recommended. The antenna used for this
transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or
transmitter. No other antenna may be used with this equipment other than the PCB
antenna supplied with this equipment.

1.2 Hardware Features
Our range of IWT wireless transmitters are available for a wide range of input
types.
The IWmAT 4-20 mA Transmitter has been designed to accept an input from an
existing 4-20 mA signal and transmit the value to one of the IWR range of
receivers.
Please note that the IWmAT does not power the 4-20 mA loop, if powering a
standard 4-20 mA wired transmitter is required please use the IWTxT unit
instead.

Depending on the receiver used, the value can be outputted as either a 4-20 mA
or 1-5 V dc signal, displayed and logged on a PC, output as a Modbus RTU or
TCP/IP register, or transmitted to a remote server using MQTT messages. The
range of receivers available is shown in the table below.
Receiver Type
Features
IWR-1
1 off 4-20 mA or 1-5 V and 1 off Relay Output
IWR-5
5 off 4-20 mA or 1-5 V and 1 off Relay Output
IWR-USB
Connects to any PC for data display and logging
IWR-PORT
Stores data from IWT transmitters as Modbus
Registers
IoT-Gateway
Stores data from IWT Transmitters & sends it to
remote servers using MQTT packets
The IWTaT and IWTRhT transmitters work within the ISM license-free
2.4 GHz bands. Ranges of up to 500 m are possible using the standard
transmitter and receiver unit with the optional 3dBi antenna giving a range of up
to 750 m.
The transmitter is powered by a primary 3.6 V lithium cell and care must be taken
to insert the battery in the correct polarity.
UNPACKING
The instrument should be carefully inspected for signs of damage that may have
occurred in transit. In the unlikely case that damage has been sustained, DO
NOT use the instrument, but please retain all packaging for our inspection and
contact your supplier immediately.
.
3 PRODUCT IDENTIFICATION LABEL
The unit delivered should be carefully inspected to ensure it is suitable for the
application required. Detailed information on the product is included in the
identification label and the user manual.
Please ensure, in particular, that the input range of the IWT is suitable for the
intended application and that the IWT unit will not be subjected to temperatures
greater than those specified in this manual.

4. INSTALLING/CHANGING THE BATTERY
A Lithium 3.6 V battery is included inside the IWT transmitter. The battery may be
changed at any time, but care must be taken to install the battery with the correct
polarity.
After the battery has been changed, the unit should be switched on using the
yellow slider switch SW3 and then the pushbutton SW1 should be pushed and
held for 5 s. This is to ensure the battery life count is reset correctly when a new
battery is installed.
The internal red LED will flash 5 times to indicate this procedure has been carried
out successfully.
The battery life is determined by the rate the transmitter sends the Temperature
value to the receiver, this update rate can be selected using Dip Switch 1 and the
default value is 10s.
Please dispose of all batteries as specified by the legislator according to the
Closed Substance Cycle and Waste Management Act or country regulations.
! WARNING!
5. SETTING UP THE IWT WIRELESS TRANSMITTER
The IWT instrument is shipped in a default configuration which allows the unit to
connect with any default IWR receiver unit and transmit the measured signal
every 10 s simply by switching the unit on using SW3 on the internal circuit
board.
If a different update rate is required, or a different network frequency channel is
required these parameters can be selected using DIP Switch 1 as detailed below:

Switches 5, 6 & 7 select the Transmission rate of the unit. This effectively sets
how often the measured value is sent to the receiver.
At 1 and 5 second rate, a power save option is available (on by default) that
changes the transmit time to every 30 seconds if the IWR is switched off or out of
range for more than 3 minutes. This option can be changed using the IWT-SET
program.

Switches 8, 9, and 10 set the Channel Number of the transmitter. This is used
with the 5 channel receiver unit (IWR-5) to select which IWT wireless transmitter
is linked to which
4-20 mA or 1-5 V dc output channel.
Channels 1 to 128 can be used with an IWR-USB, IWR-PORT, or IoT Gateway
receiver. The channel number can be changed using the IWT-SET PC
configuration software if switches 8, 9, and 10 are switched to the on position.

The IWT transmitter is now set up and ready to be used. Install the unit where
required, wire the appropriate input into the IWT as specified below (if there isn’t
an integral sensor), and switch the unit ON using SW3. Pushbutton switch SW1
can be pushed to force the unit to transmit its current measured value. A red LED
1 will flash once when the transmit button is pressed and flash a second time if
the transmission has been received and acknowledged by an IWR receiver unit.
If the unit has transmitted successfully, the output of the connected receiver unit
will output a value reflecting the signal level being measured.
