Revision 1 12/2007
WTS-DB Digital Room Temperature Sensor
The WTS family of Wall Temperature Sensors are designed to be
used with the M2 family of Solidyne controllers. They are designed
with a rugged anodized aluminum housing and a unique one screw
attachment to it’s base plate.
The WTS-DB is a digital wall mounted room temperature sensor with
multiple modes of operation. It uses LED’s to display room tempera-
ture along with room setpoint and zone override. It also has a built
in light sensor which can be enabled or disabled. The WTS-DB wires
to the M2 family of controllers via CAT-5 cabling and does not have
options for hard wiring.

Wiring
The WTS-DB must be wired to an M2 family controller via the
CAT-5 connection on the back of the device. This method uses
any straight through CAT-5 cable. See figure 3 for the proper
RJ-45 crimping polarity. One end of the CAT-5 cable terminates
into either of the two RJ-45 female connectors on the back of
the WTS-DB. The other end will terminate into the middle M2
RJ-45 female connector. When the WTS-DB is wired via this
method, the temperature sensor input will automatically use
Input #1 (AI1) of the M2 controller that it is attached. The
zone setpoint input will automatically use Virtual Input #1 (VI1)
and the light level sensor will use Virtual Input #2 (VI2) on any
M2 family controller.

Jumper Configuration
The WTS-DB has 3 jumper configurations. The default jumper
position is JP2 only. Other jumper configurations are reserved
for future use and not applicable at this time.
CAT-5 Input Assignment:
When using the CAT-5 wiring, the M2 controllers will automati-
cally assign it’s inputs to pre-defined locations:

M2-HH Commissioning Tool
The WTS-DB has a small 5 pin connector on the bottom end of
the device which is used to connect the M2-HH hand held com-
missioning tool. Please see the 00-M2-HH documentation for
Installation
The WTS-DB backplate will install easily onto any 2”x4” electrical box
with the supplied 1” screws. An electrical box is not necessary for
proper installation of the WTS-DB. The 1” screws have a flat head, if
longer screws are needed, please make sure they have a flat head.
Once the backplate is installed and wiring is completed, install the
WTS-DB sensor onto the backplate at an angle starting at the bot-
tom of the sensor as shown in figure 6.
After sliding the WTS-DB sensor onto the support bracket of the
backplate, rotate the sensor towards the wall and secure the WTS-
DB sensor in place by installing the supplied set screw as shown in
figure 7.

Modes of Operation
The WTS-DB has 4 configurable modes of operation. Each of the 4
modes displays the zone temperature (either °F or °C) until a button
is pushed on the unit. The different modes only change the way the
setpoint is displayed/used. These different modes of operation are
listed below.
Mode 1
This mode is the default mode for the WTS-DB. This gives the user
an interface to view the room temperature and adjust the setpoint
numerically. When the user changes the zone setpoint on the WTS-
DB, the value will be set to Virtual Input #1. By default, the user
can set the zone setpoint from 55 to 85.
Mode 2
This mode gives the user an interface to view the room temperature
numerically, but the setpoint for the zone is displayed via the 7 LED
level indicator. This 7 LED level indicator has 3 red LED’s and 3 blue
LED’s and 1 green LED in between the 3 red and 3 blue LED’s.
When the user adjusts the zone setpoint the value will be set to
Virtual Input #1. By default, the 7 LED level indicator has a range of
+3 to –3 where 0 will be set to Virtual Input #1 when the middle
green LED is set. See Figure 8 for details of the LED level indicator.
Mode 3
This mode eliminates the user zone setpoint all together. It does
however allow the user to view the current zone temp and send a
system override.
Mode 4
This mode is the same as Mode 3, but the LED level indicator is used
to display how warm or cool the room is based on Virtual Input #1
which would be set by a device other than the WTS-DB (ie. ICMS
graphic). With the highest red LED lit, the room is 3 or more de-
grees warmer than Virtual Input #1. With the lowest Blue LED lit,
the room is 3 degrees cooler than Virtual Input #1

Modes of Operation Cont’d
Figure 8
In Mode 2, when the highest red LED is lit, the Virtual Input #1 will be +3. Giving the
system an indication that the user would like the setpoint to be 3 degrees warmer than
current. Furthermore, if the green LED is lit, Virtual Input #1 would be set to a value of
zero (0). And when the lowest blue LED is lit, the Virtual Input #1 would be set to –3.
Configuring the WTS-DB operation with M2-
HH Commissioning Tool
The M2-HH commissioning tool is used to setup and configure
the 4 modes of operation for the WTS-DB. Please refer to the
M2-HH documentation for details of connecting and using the
M2-HH tool. All of the WTS-DB settings can be modified by
select F4 on the M2-HH tool.
Changing the Mode of Operation
To change the WTS-DB mode, select F4 on the M2-HH. The
first item on the list is the WTS-DB mode. Change the mode
number to whichever mode serves your application properly.
Disable Setpoint
In any of the 4 modes, the setpoint that is written to Virtual
Input #1 can be disabled by selecting the ZONE SET->VS1
setting to “N” by using the +/- key on the M2-HH.
Disable Light Level Sensor
To disable the built in light level sensor from writing to Virtual
Input #2, set the LITE SENS->VS2 setting to “N” by using the
+/- key on the M2-HH.
Disable Zone Overrides
To disable the user from triggering a zone override with the
WTS-DB, set the ZONE OVRD ENABLE to “N” by using the +/-
key on the M2-HH.
Calibrating the Zone Temperature
The WTS-DB temperature sensor can be calibrated by the M2-
HH if the sensor is not reading inside the desired accuracy
range. After selecting F4 for WTS-DB Settings, select the
DOWN arrow 4 times to get to the next page of the WTS-DB
settings. The first item in the list is SENSOR ADJUST. Select
OK and enter the desired amount of offset. Select OK when
Sensor Update Rate
The rate at which the zone temperature refreshes its value on
the WTS-DB can be adjusted between 1 and 256 seconds. In
the second page of the WTS-DB settings, select OK on the UP-
DATE RATE setting and enter the desired amount of seconds.
The default value is 5 seconds.
Changing the Min and Max Setpoint Values
WTS-DB Mode 1 uses a numerical setpoint which can have Mini-
mum and Maximum limits so that the user cannot change the
setpoint to an extreme value. By default the Minimum setpoint
value is 55 and Maximum is 85. Both of these values can be
change to a more desirable limit. On the second page of the
WTS-DB settings, select OK on either the MIN SETPOINT or
MAX SETPOINT and enter the desired values that apply to your
application.
Setpoint Adjust Operation
In both Mode 1 & 2, the user can adjust the zone setpoint. The
WTS-DB has 3 infrared emitter/receiver “buttons”. These are
not traditional mechanical buttons, rather they are electronic
components that require the user to cover a hole in the WTS-DB
housing which will give the same effect as pushing a mechanical
button. These electronic “buttons” are used to both change the
zone setpoint and set a zone override.
To change the setpoint in either Mode 1 or Mode 2, select either
the up or the down arrows to adjust the setpoint on the display
of the WTS-DB to the desired value and then select the enter
button which is the top button on the WTS-DB indicated by an
orange square.
Zone Override Operation
In all Modes of operation of the WTS-DB, the user can trigger a
zone override, typically used for after hours operation. The
duration of this override would be configured in the ICMS soft-
ware for Analog Input #1 and can be set for 1 to 255 minutes.
To trigger the zone override, the user should push the orange
square button. The display will display “OR=” for 1 second and
then the user can select either the up arrow to select the zone
override to ON which will be displayed on the WTS-DB. After
the override is selected to ON, select the orange square button
again to confirm the override. To view the current override
state, select the orange square button and the display will show
either OFF (zone not currently in override) or ON (zone cur-
rently in override).
