Description:
The WP1P/WP2P Wireless Tilt Monitor is a low-power device that monitors discrete angular position and
maintains a count of tilt events. The count is incremented when the sensor is tilted forward from a vertical
orientation as shown below. The transmitter sends data at random intervals between 10 and 17 seconds. On
state changes, it transmits the updated data within one second. The battery will typically last from 2 to 5 years
depending on angular position change frequency.
Mounting:
The sensor must be installed as shown below or it may not accurately indicate position. The sensor bottom
should be horizontal as shown in the center figure.
Option #1: Attach the Wireless Tilt Monitor to the tilting surface using the provided Dual-Lock strips.
Option #2: Attach the Wireless Tilt Monitor to the tilting surface using the provided #6 x 1” self-drilling screws
or other suitable screws.
Option #3: Attach the Wireless Tilt Monitor to the tilting surface using the optional Mag-Mount Universal
Mounting Bracket (P/N# UMB-S2N - not shown).

Monitor Setup:
1. Loosen the four cover screws to remove cover. Install battery to turn power on (circuit board is labeled
to indicate correct polarity).
2. Press the transmitter’s service button to configure it to the sensor’s specifications.
3. When the monitor system is active, the LED will flash every 10 to 17 seconds. Pressing the service
button will immediately flash the LED to indicate the functionality of the monitor.
4. Replace the cover and tighten all four cover screws.
e-Guard OPC Data Manager - Quick Sensor Setup:
1. Start e-Guard OPC Data Manager (consult installation instructions if software is not already installed).
2. Click the Server Settings menu, then Device Registration in the upper left corner.
3. Press the transmitter’s service button to register the sensor. Its serial number will appear in the SN
column with default values appearing in the other columns (serial numbers are listed sequentially).
4. Modify e-Guard software settings as desired:
Column Default Value Permissible Entries
Topic Sensor serial no. Alphanumeric characters (25 max; blanks and dashes ok) representing sensor name
Active Yes Yes = e-Guard OPC Data Manager publishes sensor data
No = e-Guard OPC Data Manager does not publish sensor data
Dashboard Yes Yes = Sensor data is logged in the database
No = Sensor data is not logged in the database
ShowTile Yes Yes = Sensor data is displayed on a tile in the e-Guard Dashboard
No = Sensor data is not displayed in the e-Guard Dashboard
Baseline 0 Integer value (6 digits max) representing the baseline measurement value for the
specific sensor (not used for this sensor type).
TransmitFrequency 12 DO NOT CHANGE – this value is used to calculate sensor efficiency
SaveInterval 1 Integer value between 0 and 32,767 specifying the data logging interval for the
VenTek Sensor Database in minutes. A zero (0) value will log every data packet.
5. Close the Registered Devices window when finished. The window will close automatically after 1
minute of inactivity.
6. Leave e-Guard OPC Data Manager running to continue data logging. Close the program to end.
VenTek eGuard Software Sensor Configuration:
This sensor is a standard device, so the software should already be programmed with the proper information. If
the software does not recognize the sensor, verify that both sensor types below appear in the software by
clicking the Server Settings menu, then Type Settings in the upper left corner:
Type LoRaw HiRaw LoEng HiEng Units LoRaw2 HiRaw2 LoEng2 HiEng2 Units2 ServiceBit Legacy
74 0 0 0 0 Counts 0 0 0 0 Units 73 0
03 0 0 0 0 Counts 0 0 0 0 Units 73 0
Resetting the Count:
1. Press and hold the blue service button.
2. Pass the Magnetic Key Fob slowly across the sensor side opposite service button (see central figure on
Page 1). The reset switch is internal and magnetically activated.
3. Release the blue service button. The sensor will begin transmitting in approximately one minute.

Wireless Communication Conditions of Use:
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired
operation.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by VenTek, LLC for compliance could void the user's
authority to operate the equipment.
To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the
equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that permitted for successful communication.
This device has been designed to operate with the antennas listed below, and having a maximum gain of 2 dBi.
Antennas not included in this list or having a gain greater than 2 dBi are strictly prohibited for use with this
device. The required antenna impedance is 50 ohms.
