Resonate Wireless Temperature Sensor
This guide covers all Resonate Temperature Sensor models.
The Resonate temperature sensor product family includes:
WT913G-NL Temperature Sensor & Setpoint
NOTE: The WT913G is a solar powered device that absorbs solar energy storing
it for use during low light periods. Before assigning the RTS device to a receiver/
controller, the device should be exposed to a good light source for a minimum
of 2 hours.

Temperature Sensing Operaon
Temperature and Humidity Monitoring - The temperature sensor will
record the temperature, temperature set point and humidity values*
every 10 seconds (sample period) when there is approximately 100 lux
(10 foot-candles) available. If there is less than 100 lux (10 fc), the sam-
ple period will increase to 100 seconds. Aer 24 hours at < 15 lux (1.5
fc) the sample period will increase to 200 seconds. *Assuming sucient
storage charge to operate.
Temperature Set Point - Users can adjust the temperature set point by
rotang the knob counterclockwise to lower the set point value; clock-
wise to increase the set point value.
The receiving temperature control equipment must scale the set point
range to values that are applicable for the applicaon.
Fan Speed Switch - Users can adjust the fan speed switch by sliding the
switch to a seng: Auto, OFF, Low (1) Med (2), High (3).
Occupancy Buon - (RTS-2HS models only) Users can override a room
occupancy state by pressing the occupancy buon on the lower right
edge of the sensor.
LED Operaon - LEDs are on the right side of the solar panel. The red
LED will ash when the Link or Occupancy buon is pressed. See Test
Operang Modes for further LED informaon.
Transming Values - The temperature sensor will transmit a telegram
when:
• 10 sample periods have been completed or
• when the fan switch or occupancy buon are used or
• when the temperature value dierence from the last transmied
value is greater than 0.3°C, (0.5°F) or
• the humidity value dierence from the last transmied value is
greater than 3%.
Installing the Temperature Sensor
The temperature sensor can be mounted on any surface; glass, stone,
concrete, wallboard, cubicle parons, etc. The sensor can be mounted
using screws (not supplied) through the removable back plate (2 key-
holes or using double sided tape or Velcro™ (not supplied).
The mounng locaon of the wireless transmier is important as this
will directly aect the receivers recepon of the telegrams. Before

1. The sensor has a removable back plate. Using your thumb, press
edge of the sensor body and pull the body
away from the back plate.
2. Mount the back plate to the wall surface in
plate that mate with standard electrical box
the sensor using double sided tape or Vel-
cro® (not supplied).
3. Once the back plate has been secured, align
the two top alignment tabs on the back plate with the temperature
clicks in place.
Linking the Temperature Sensor to a Receiver
This process requires the controller or receiver to be mounted and pow-
ered and within range of the temperature sensor to be linked.
The sensor is a solar powered device that absorbs energy through a so-
lar panel storing it for use during low light periods. Before assigning the
sensor to a receiver/controller, the device must be exposed to a good

Installing or Replacing the Baery
The baery is not required for normal operaon when the RTS
receives adequate natural or arcial light. The baery can be used
during installaon (start assist).
1. Remove the sensor from the back plate by pressing the key on
the lower edge of the sensor body and pull the body away from
the back plate.
2. To remove old baery: Using a small at head screwdriver or
pen as a lever, insert pointed end under the clear plasc baery
retaining clip’s edge and pop the clip o.
3. Install or replace the baery in the clip with a new CR2032 coin
cell baery insuring the posive side (+) will be facing up.
4. Align the two straight edges of the re-
taining clip with the baery holder and
press the clip in with your nger.
Test Operang Modes
Ensure the RTS is fully charged or insert a
baery before entering test modes. The
following tests can be selected when in test
mode.
Light Level Test: provides visual feedback of
the immediate energy produced by the solar panel.
1. To enter Light Level Test mode, press and hold the occupancy/
test buon for 6 seconds. The green LED will begin to blink.
2. Press the test buon again for 6 seconds to select Light Level
Test. The green LED will blink in accordance to the light level
it is detecng. This will change (2
second lag me) as you move the
sensor to areas with dierent light
levels. See following blink indicator
table.
Note:
Entering test mode secon:
If the red LED blinks (no green LED)
aer you have released the test
mode buon, place the sensor under
a lamp with at least 100 foot-candles
(1000 lux) for 1 hour before retrying.

5 200-400 18.6 - 37.2 6 hours to full charge 200 hours
The me to fully charge is based on the storage capacitor charging from
a non-operaonal condion. Discharge me indicates how long a fully
charged sensor will operate in the dark. The test will repeat every 2 sec-
onds and run for a duraon of 100 seconds. You may quit the test at any
me by pressing the test buon for 6 seconds.
Range Conrmaon Test: provides visual feedback of the sensors signal
strength by a linked receiver with range conrmaon capability (only “F
series” controllers have range conrmaon ability). One and only one re-
ceiver can be linked to the sensor for proper operaon of the test. (disable
repeaters in range for proper test operaon).
1. To enter Range Conrmaon Test mode, press and hold the occupan-
cy/test buon for 6 seconds. The green led will begin to blink.
2. A quick press and release of the buon at this point will allow you to
select between light level test (green LED) and range conrmaon test
(amber). When the amber LED is blinking, go to step 3. (If the 3 LEDs
fail to blink during this test, insert a baery or place under a lamp with
at least 100 fc (1000 lux) for 1 hour before retrying.)
3. Press and hold the test buon again for 6 seconds to select Range
Conrmaon Test.
All three LED’s can blink in this test mode when the sensor transmits or
receives a Range Conrmaon Telegram. The sensor will display the signal
strength status for 5 seconds, see table below.
RANGE CONFIRMATION TEST TABLE
LED Signal Strength
Green > -70 dbm
Amber > -80 dbm

The test will repeat every 10 seconds and run for a duraon of 3 min-
utes. You may quit the test at any me by pressing the occupancy/test
buon for 6 seconds.

Installing Wireless Devices
Careful planning is needed when locang the receivers and transmit-
ters based on the construcon materials in the space and possibility of
tenant’s furniture disrupng the transmissions.
The temperature sensor should be installed in the space where the
receiver is mounted and connected to the temperature control equip-
ment however the signal will travel through material barriers.
Refer to the tables below for range consideraons with building
materials that reduce the radio signal power.

Wood 0 - 10%
Plaster 0 - 10%
Glass 0 - 10%
Brick 5 - 35%
MDF 5 - 35%
Ferro concrete 10 - 90%
Metal 90 - 100%
Aluminum 90 - 100%

Line of sight: 150’ (46m)open halls
Plasterboard: 80’ (24m) through 3 walls

Wireless System Layout Hints
• Avoid locang transmiers and receivers on the same wall.
• Avoid locang transmiers and receivers where the telegrams
must penetrate walls at acute angles. This increases the mate-
rial the telegram must pass through reducing the signal power.
• Avoid large metal obstrucons as they create radio shadows.
Place receivers in alternate locaons to avoid the shadow or use
repeaters to go around the obstacle.
• (connued next page)

•Do not locate receivers close to other high frequency trans-
other source of interference including, ballasts, LED drivers,
computers, video equipment, Wi-Fi/LAN routers, GSM modems
