INTRODUCTION
The WSG Wireless Humidity sensor provides remote monitoring without
running wires. Data is sent from the sensor to the WSG30 via an integrated
2.4GHz Wireless radio. The device can transmit its signal up to 300’ indoors and
even greater distances when it has line-of-site. The WSG30 series of Wireless
sensors also feature mesh networking technology, which allows each sensor to be
used as either a Wireless sensor/router or as a low-power battery operated sensor
(also referred to as an end point). When used as a router, greater distances can
be realized because each sensor/router adds another 300’ of range to the system.
The sensor comes with 2 AA alkaline batteries which will power the sensor for
up to 2 years (end point mode). An optional plug-in power supply is also
available, in which case the batteries function as backup power if main AC power fails (power supply
required for router mode).
NOTE: Do not install the sensor in a dirty, humid, or corrosive environment . Do not install the
sensor in close proximity to other 2 .4GHz devices (WiFi, etc) . Do not install the device inside of a
metallic enclosure as this will impede it’s ability to Wirelessly communicate with the WSG30 .

InstallatIon suMMary
1) Locate the sensor serial number on the small white label inside the sensor enclosure.
2) Enter the serial number into the WSG30 using the web page or keypad.
3) Mount the sensor.
4) Attach power supply if using as a router and install the batteries.
5) Watch the LCD or web page to confirm that the sensor has connected with the WSG30.
sensor regIstratIon
Before you power-up the sensor you must enter the serial number, located on the small white label
inside the sensor enclosure, into the WSG30. You can do this with the WSG30 web page or you can
enter it using the WSG30 keypad (see Sensor Registration earlier in this manual). Just be sure to jot
down the serial number before you attach the sensor to the wall.
Battery InForMatIon
The Wireless Humidity Sensor can operate for up to 2 years on a good set of AA alkaline batteries when
the sensor is configured as an end-device with a 3 second sampling interval. Sensors configured as
routers must use a plug-in power supply. Faster sampling intervals will reduce battery life.
Battery InstallatIon
Carefully separate the top of the enclosure from the bottom. Locate the battery holder on the circuit
board. Take note of the polarity markings identifying the positive and negative ends of the batteries.
Install the batteries. Re-attach the top and cover.
