Section 1: Introduction This manual is designed to assist in installing, operating, and maintaining 1.1: USING THIS MANUAL Honeywell Model WBR Base Radios. The manual is broken into sections as follows: Section 2: In a Hurry? This section summarizes what must be done in order to get the device in- stalled, configured and in operation quickly.
Honeywell Industrial Wireless Wireless Base Radio The Honeywell Wireless Base Radio is a reliable Radio Frequency (RF) 1.2: ABOUT THE DEVICE transceiver with a variety of available outputs, contained in an explosion proof housing useable in many hazardous and hard-to-reach areas. The...
Honeywell Industrial Wireless Wireless Base Radio Section 2: In a Hurry? This section summarizes what must be done in order to get the device in- stalled, configured and in operation quickly. However, it does not provide detailed or how-to information to perform the tasks outlined.
3.1.1: Base Radio Positioning 3.1.2: Base Radio Mounting The Honeywell Wireless Base Radio is a rugged device, but it will give much better service if installed with careful consideration as noted in this manual. It may be utilized in any service so long as care is exercised to prevent exposing the sensing elements to excess stress or temperature.
Honeywell Industrial Wireless Wireless Base Radio In this section wiring instructions are discussed for the various setup capa- 3.2: Electrical Installation bilities of the Base Radio. The subsections are as follows: 3.2.1: Electrical Specifications 3.2.2: Wiring Power to the Base Radio 3.2.3: Wiring RS-485 to the Base Radio...
Honeywell Industrial Wireless Wireless Base Radio 3.2.2: Wiring Power to the Base The Honeywell Base Radio is designed to use a 24 VDC power supply at a minimum of 0.5 Amps. Honeywell offers 110VAC/120VAC-15W DIN Radio rail mounted 24VDC converter for this purpose. For more information contact your Honeywell Representative.
Wireless Management Toolkit’s Honeywell Server to look at the correct COM PORT for incoming information. 11. To specify this COM PORT, start the Honeywell Server and Right- Click on the RF Server Icon (see Wireless Management Toolkit User’s Manual Section 4 for more details).
Honeywell Industrial Wireless Wireless Base Radio 3.2.6: Daisy-Chaining Multiple Two or more Base Radios may be placed on a single RS-485 communica- tion line, an a single power supply line (provided the power supply and Base Radios to Single RS-485/ wiring can handle the load).
Honeywell Industrial Wireless Wireless Base Radio Section 3: Installation 3.2.7: Terminating the Base Radio RS-485 is capable of maintaining communications over a maximum dis- tance of 4000 feet. In most (and we recommend all) situations the unit that comprises an “end” of an RS-485 network should be terminated by a resis- tor wired across the A and B wires.
Honeywell Industrial Wireless Wireless Base Radio Section 4: General Configuration This section discusses the generalities around configuring the Base Radio via the next and enter buttons. The subsections are as follows: 4.1: Base Radio Displayed Messages 4.1.1: The Read-Only Sequence 4.2: The Overall Configuration Menu Map...

Once you are in the RF Channel menu, you can increment it by pressing the NEXT button. When selecting this value, do not choose an RF Chan- nel that is currently being used by other Honeywell Wireless Networks as this can cause communication problems.
Honeywell Industrial Wireless Wireless Base Radio Section 6: Configuring the Modbus Communications This section applies to the configuration of the Base Radio for Modbus communication with a PLC/DCS. The subsections are as follows: 6.1: Base Radio Setup 6.1.1: Modbus Baud Rate Setting 6.1.2: Modbus Device ID Setting...
Honeywell Industrial Wireless Wireless Base Radio 6.1.2: Modbus Device ID Setting The Modbus Device ID allows a PLC or DCS to find the proper Base Ra- dio on a RS-485 Network. Because Modus needs a device ID for each Transmitter, they have been...
Honeywell Industrial Wireless Wireless Base Radio 6.1.3: Modbus Parity Setting The Modbus Parity distinguishes which type of parity is used to validate each packet of information on the RS-485 Network. The type of parity required is usually indicated by the user’s PLC.
Honeywell Industrial Wireless Wireless Base Radio The Base Radio connects to the Host (Master) system using Modbus over 6.2: Modbus Communication a serial RS-485 line. The Base Radio supports Modbus RTU transmission Protocol mode at baud rates of 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, or 115200 baud with even, odd, or no parity and 8 data bits.
Honeywell Industrial Wireless Wireless Base Radio The Base Radio responds to six Modbus commands including the Read 6.3: Modbus Commands Holding Registers (03), Diagnostic (08), Get Com Event Count (11), Get Com Event Log (12), Report Slave ID (17), and Read Device Identifica- tion (43).
