Configuration
NOTE: To preserve battery life, sensors are shipped
in the OFF position. To activate the sensor,
remove the access plate at the top of the
sensor to access the J1 jumper and remove
the jumper. The sensor is now activated.
Save the jumper by putting it across one pin,
so it can be re-used if the sensor needs to be
powered off.
QPA4292.EWSC (CO2) sensors do not require
jumper removal for power-up.
J1 Jumper (QAA, QFA, and 563-083)
It is easiest to configure all the sensors for a
deployment at one time.
NOTE: The gateway must be configured to
communicate with a terminal emulator per
Series 4292 Wireless Sensor System User
Guide (Document No. A6V11544782)
before attempting to configure sensors.
1. Using the terminal emulator function, select S
from the main menu.
2. Attach the sensor to the gateway using the
USB cable supplied with the gateway.
On the QPA4292.EWSC CO2sensor, the
cover must be removed to access the USB
port. Remove and discard the Phillips head
screw in the center of the back cover. Be
careful not to damage locking tabs when
removing/installing the cover.
Other sensor USB ports can be accessed
through the cut-out on the back of the
housing.
During configuration each sensor is assigned an ID
that is activated in the gateway. This number should
be written on the label inside the sensor enclosure. It
is also advisable to record the communication
channel and network ID on the sensor.
Installation
NOTE: Care should be taken when mounting
sensors to get the maximum communication
range. For the best range, sensors should be
mounted on drywall, wood, plastic, glass or
other non-metallic and non-masonry surface.
1. Locate the sensor approximately 5 feet
(1.5 m) above floor level and at least 1.75
feet (50 cm) from adjoining walls.
2. Do not install on an outside wall, behind
curtains, near heating/cooling sources, or
where exposed to direct sunlight.

Installation, Continued
3. Do not mount wireless sensors on, or in,
metal structures such as refrigerators,
freezers, tanks, and so on.
4. Avoid mounting the sensors directly over a
metal stud.
5. Sensors should be mounted so that the longer
dimension is vertical (portrait configuration).
Installation Procedure
1. Remove the sensor back plate and use
screws and anchors as necessary to secure
the back plate to a wall in the desired
location.
2. Document the Sensor ID (and Network ID, if
desired) on building floor plans or other
configuration documentation.
3. Snap the sensor assembly to the back plate
to complete mounting.
4. The sensor installation/configuration is now
complete.
Sensor Replacement
When a sensor is replaced, it is essential for proper
operation that the Sensor ID and Network ID from the
replaced sensor be programmed into the replacement
sensor. Document the Sensor ID (and Network ID, if
desired) on building floor plans or other configuration
documentation.
Remove the existing sensor
1. Select S –Configure Sensor in Gateway in
the terminal emulator.
2. Attach the old sensor to the gateway using a
USB cable.
3. Select option 3 -- Erase Sensor Data and
Deactivate in Gateway.
4. Disconnect the sensor from the gateway.
5. Re-install the jumper to power down the
sensor. Failure to take this step will result in
the removed sensor continuing to transmit
data over the network.
Configure the new sensor
1. Connect the new sensor to the gateway using
the PC Interface port.
2. Select S –Configure Sensor in Gateway.
3. Record the SENSOR ID as shown on screen.
4. Disconnect the sensor from the gateway and
install in the desired location.
QAA4292.EWSC –Remote Temperature
Sensor Wiring
In addition to the onboard temperature sensor, the
QAA4292.EWSC can also accept two 10k ΩType 2
thermistor inputs from remote devices. The data from
the remote devices will be reported back to the
automation system at separate points.
Remove the sliding tab at the top of the sensor
housing to access the wiring terminals.
Figure 1. Wiring Terminals, Remote Temperature
Sensors.
Connect remote temperature sensor No. 1 to the S2
terminals and remote temperature sensor No. 2 to the
S3 terminals. Data will be reported back the gateway
at points S2 and S3, with point S1 being the on-board
sensor.
563-083 –Romote Contact Wiring
The 563-083 enables ON/OFF device data, such as
from flow switches, to be wirelessly transmitted back
to the gateway. Each 563-083 accepts up to two
ON/OFF inputs which will be reported back as
individual points. The 563-083 does not include an
onboard sensor.
Remove the sliding tab at the top of the sensor
housing to access the wiring terminals.
Figure 2. Wiring Terminals, Remote Contact.
Connect remote contact No. 1 to the X1 terminals and
remote contact No. 2 to the X2 terminals.
NOTE: The 563-083 is not designed for use as a
pulse-counter. Contact state changes that
occur more frequently than 1 per minute will
result in diminished battery life.

Sensor Calibration
QAA4292.EWSC
The QAA4292.EWSC utilizes a stable, long life
sensing element that does not require calibration. The
temperature sensor accuracy is rated at +/- 1% (50°F
to 90°F).
QFA4292.EWSC
The QFA4292.EWSC utilizes a stable, long life
sensing element that does not require calibration. The
humidity sensor accuracy is rated at +/- 3% rh (11%
to 89% rh) and a long-term stability of +/- 0.25% rh
per year.
QPA4292.EWSC
The QPA4292.EWSC utilizes Non-Dispersive Infra-
Red (NDIR) technology and is self-calibrating to an
accuracy of +/- 50 ppm +3% of the reading.
To enable the sensor to self-calibrate it must see
“fresh air” a minimum of once per week. In most
HVAC use cases this should occur without
intervention, as CO2levels typically return to outdoor
background levels while the building is vacant.
If manual calibration is required, place the sensor
outside or in a location with a background
concentration of CO2near 385 ppm. Press the
Cal/RESET button on the inside of the sensor for two
seconds. The sensor should remain in this location
for 30 minutes.
NOTE: When placing the sensor outside for
calibration, ensure that it is not placed in
direct sunlight or where exposed to rain or
excess moisture. The temperature should be
between 0°F and 120°F.
The QPA4292.EWSC has a selectable broadcast
interval from 1 to 5 minutes using the jumper
directly below the CAL/RESET button. The
default setting of 5 minutes will provide adequate
control in most spaces and result in maximizes
battery life.
•Jumper 1 = 1 minute
•Jumper 2 –2 minutes
•Jumper 3 = 3 minutes
•Jumper 4 = 5 minutes
•Jumper 5 = 10 minutes
NOTE: Battery life is 15 years at the factory
default of 5-minute broadcast intervals.
More frequent broadcasts will reduce
battery life.
