e-Guard Wireless Transmitter
2 2” Dual-Lock Adhesive Strips
4 #6 x 1” Self-tapping Screws
Description:
The VenTek WVNO5P Universal Wireless Transmitter is a low-power self-configuring device with a 600 ft(1)
range and will configure itself to work with any VenTek V-BUS sensor. The transmitter sends data from the
sensor at random intervals between 10 and 17 seconds. To conserve battery life and reduce the number of
transmission collisions while the transmitter is not in use, the transmitter remains turned off until a V-BUS
sensor is plugged in. The battery will last at least 1 year of continuous use and can exceed 2 years, depending
on the sensor being used.
Mounting:
Attach the Universal Wireless Transmitter to the mounting surface using either the #6 x 1” self-tapping
mounting screws or the dual-lock adhesive strips as shown. Mount the transmitter away from metal objects
such as steel beams, catwalks and shelving. Such objects may interfere with the transmission signals. The
preferred mounting surface is non-metallic. If the mounting surface is metallic, the receiver should be in front
of the Universal Wireless Transmitter. (See VenTek document TIPS1 for more information).
(1) Transmitter range is typicaly 600 feet in an industrial environment, but can be much further. A site evaluation should
be conducted to find the best locations for transmitters and receivers.

Wireless That Makes Perfect Sense
Monitor Setup:
When the transmitter is connected to a V-BUS sensor, the system becomes an e-Guard Wireless Monitor.
1. Securely connect a VenTek V-BUS sensor to the transmitter to power up the wireless monitor system.
* The transmitter remains powered down unless a sensor is securely plugged into it.
2. Press the service button on the transmitter to configure the transmitter to the specifications of the
sensor.
3. When the monitor system is active, the LED on the sensor will flash every 10 to 17 seconds. Pressing
the service button will immediately flash the LED to indicate the functionality of the monitor.
VenTek OPC Server Sensor Setup:
1. Open up the VenTek OPC Server software.
2. Click on the File menu, then Device Registration.
3. Press the service button on the transmitter. The serial number of the sensor will appear in a new
window asking to add the device.
4. To activate this sensor select Yes. The sensor will be registered and appear in the list sorted by serial
number. The tile in the Active column should say “yes.”
* The sensor can be deactivated by changing the tile in the Active column to say “no.”
5. In the Topic column, rename the sensor with a meaningful name (i.e. Motor A) if desired.
6. To log the sensor’s data in the database using the VenTek Dashboard software, make sure the tile in
the Dashboard column says “yes.”
7. To view the sensor’s readings on the VenTek Dashboard screen, make sure the tile in the ShowTile
column says “yes.”
8. Close the Registered Devices and the OPC Server software window.
* Consult the VenTek OPC Server installation instructions if the software is not already installed.
Rules subject to operation
“Changes or modifications not expressly approved by VenTek, LLC for compliance
could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.”
“Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause
interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference
that may cause undesired operation of the device.”
“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.” – (ANT-418-CW-RAH, ANT418-MHW-RPS,
ANT-418-CW-RH)
“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.”
FCC ID: -UVS-WV418
IC:6886A-WV418
"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 o
p
eration."
