Hardware Features

Our range of IWT wireless transmitters are available for a wide range of input types. The IWDigT Current Transformer Transmitter has been designed to accept an input from any digital volt free contact and transmit the value to one of the IWR range of receivers. Examples of input types include switch outputs from flow switches or micro switches. The output from the receiver will be either 100% for open contact and 0% for closed contact.

Depending on the receiver used, the value can be outputted as either a 4-20 mA or 1-5 V dc signal, displayed and logged on a PC, output as a Modbus RTU or TCP/IP register, or transmitted to a remote server using MQTT messages. The range of receivers available is shown in the table below.

using MQTT packets

The IWDigT Digital Input transmitter works within the ISM license-free 2.4GHz bands.
Ranges of up to 500 m are possible using the standard transmitter and receiver unit with the optional 3dBi antenna giving a range of up to 750 m.
The transmitter is powered by a primary 3.6 V lithium cell and care must be taken to  insert the battery in the correct polarity.

UNPACKING

The instrument should be carefully inspected for signs of damage that may have occurred in transit. In the unlikely case that damage has been sustained, DO NOT use the instrument, but please retain all packaging for our inspection and contact your supplier immediately.

PRODUCT IDENTIFICATION LABEL

The unit delivered should be carefully inspected to ensure it is suitable for the application required. Detailed information on the product is included in the identification label and the user manual.
Please ensure, in particular, that the input range of the IWT is suitable for the intended application and that the IWT unit will not be subjected to temperatures greater than those specified in this manual.

INSTALLING/CHANGING THE BATTERY

A Lithium 3.6 V battery is included inside the IWT transmitter. The battery may be changed at any time, but care must be taken to install the battery with the correct polarity. After the battery has been changed, the unit should be switched on using the yellow slider switch SW3 and then the pushbutton SW1 should be pushed and held for 5s. This is to ensure the battery life count is reset correctly when a new battery is installed.

The internal red LED will flash 5 times to indicate this procedure has been carried out successfully.

The battery life is determined by the rate the transmitter sends the

Temperature value to the receiver, this update rate can be selected using Dip Switch 1 and the default value is 10s.

Please dispose of all batteries as specified by the legislator according to the Closed Substance Cycle and Waste Management Act or country regulations.

INCORRECT BATTERIES MAY DAMAGE THE UNIT USE ONLY 3.6V LITHIUM C CELL BATTERIES

SETTING UP THE IWT WIRELESS TRANSMITTER

The IWT instrument is shipped in a default configuration which allows the unit to connect with any default IWR receiver unit and transmit the measured signal every 10 s simply by switching the unit on using SW3 on the internal circuit board. If a different update rate is required, or a different network frequency channel is required these parameters can be selected using DIP Switch 1 as detailed below:

Switches 1, 2, 3 & 4 select the RF Network the IWT will transmit on. The default network for both the IWT transmitter and IWR receiver is network 1.

Switches 5, 6 & 7 select the Transmission rate of the unit. This effectively sets how often the measured value is sent to the receiver. The IWDigT sends an update every time the input changes state. Additionally, a heartbeat signal is sent at the following settable intervals.

At 1 and 5 second rate, a power save option is available (on by default) that changes the transmit time to every 30 seconds if the IWR is switched off or out of range for more than 3 minutes. This option can be changed using the IWT-SET program.

Switches 8, 9, and 10 set the Channel Number of the transmitter. This is used with the 5 channel receiver unit (IWR-5) to select which IWT wireless transmitter is linked to which 4-20 mA or 1-5 V dc output channel. Channels 1 to 128 can be used with an IWR-USB, IWR-PORT, or IoT Gateway receiver. The channel number can be changed using the IWT-SET PC configuration software if switches 8, 9, and 10 are switched to the on position.

Copyright © 2021 Sensata Technologies, Inc. Page 7 The IWT transmitter is now set up and ready to be used. Install the unit where required, wire the appropriate input into the IWT as specified below (if there isn’t an integral sensor), and switch the unit ON using SW3. Pushbutton switch SW1 can be pushed to force the unit to transmit its current measured value. A red LED 1 will flash once when the transmit button is pressed and flash a second time if the transmission has been received and acknowledged by an IWR receiver unit.

If the unit has transmitted successfully, the output of the connected receiver unit will output a value reflecting the signal level being measured.
