Page 4 Key Components of WPT System Green Box Wall powered repeater WPT Node (GBC-800-001 ) (WPT-800-HUSB) (WPT-800-RWAL) (WPT-800-TXXX) (WPT-800-RWAL 24V) (WPT-800-TXXX-DB) Contains configuration Connects the WPT Extends the WPT Replaces the existing tools, remote monitoring & wireless network to the wireless range.
Page 5 225 Total WPTs NOTE: Do not use where cell phones or WiFi are prohibited (i.e. hospital • The WPT network allows a total of (6) data operating rooms), or in environments hops back to the Hub requiring temperature validation. • Think of a data hop as a repeater. If 3 repeaters are required for a WPT then you have 3 hops.
Page 6 Network Formation / Reformation • The WPT network automatically form once the components are powered. The components should be powered up as follows: - Hub / server - Repeaters - WPTs • As they are powered, Hub, Repeaters, and WPTs begin communicating with each other and determining best communication routes.

Page 14 Thermostat Identification Use the following guidelines for proper selection of the WPT model 1) Is the Thermostat to be retrofitted a Wall/Room Thermostat? Note: WPT does not replace the Remote Bulb thermostats 2) Is it a one-pipe (low air capacity) or two-pipe (high air capacity) thermostat? 3) Is the control action direct or reverse acting? Verify existing thermostat operation by adjusting the setpoint dial and noting the operation.
