INTRODUCTION  
This publication describes installation of the Siemens Wireless  
Process Solution (WiPS) 200 Series Two-Way Multipoint-To-Point  
Radios and I/O Expansion Modules. Radios (i.e. transceivers)1 and  
I/O modules are used to construct a WiPS wireless network for the  
gathering and distribution of process related analog, digital, and  
pulse/frequency data. Table 1, on the next page, identifies each  
WiPS 200 Series model. The table also provides a description of  
each item and an order/part number. Shown at right are a  
transceiver, the right-most module, and five I/O modules mounted  
on a section of DIN rail.  
A WiPS wireless network is built using a selection of transceivers,  
I/O Expansion modules, and accessories, such as antennas, antenna  
cables, and power supplies. Transceivers perform two-way wireless  
communications. They also have I/O capability with one analog  
input channel, one analog output channel, two digital input channels, and two digital output channels. I/O Expansion  
modules perform the bulk of the process data gathering and distribution. A selection of modules is available to  
accommodate analog, digital, and pulse/frequency data. Antenna selections include a wide range of omnidirectional  
and Yagi directional models. These antennas can be paired with low loss antenna cable to further improve  
transmitted signal strength allowing communication over longer distances. Siemens Logo power supplies are  
available to power transceivers and I/O Expansion modules. Other accessories include surge voltage protection  
adapters and cable connector adapters.  
Transceiver with 1/4-Wave Antenna  
Typical I/O Expansion Module  
Siemens Logo Power Supplies  
Two types of transceivers are provided: Master and Remote (i.e. Slave2). The master transceiver is installed at a  
central data collection and processing location, such as a control room. Remote transceivers are installed near field  
devices, such as transmitters, counters, motors, fans, conveyer belts, stirrers, and annunciators. Each wireless  
network must have one master transceiver and at least one remote transceiver. Up to eight remote transceivers can  
be installed on a network allowing access to widely distributed field devices.  
Table 1 lists the seven types of WiPS I/O Expansion modules and their model and order numbers. I/O Expansion  
modules are added to the wireless network’s Master and Remote transceivers in complementary pairs. Up to eight  
I/O Expansion modules of any combination can be connected to a Master transceiver. Eight complementary I/O  
Expansion modules can then be connected to up to eight remote transceivers. Thus a total of sixteen modules can be  
connected to your WiPS wireless network. As mentioned above, I/O Expansion modules are added to the network in  
complementary pairs:  
An input module at the Master transceiver must be complemented by an output module of the same type at a  
remote transceiver.  
An output module at the Master transceiver must be complemented by an input module of the same type at a  
remote transceiver.  
The network can accommodate a maximum of 32 analog signals or 64 digital signals or 16 pulse signals or a  
combination of analog, digital, and pulse signals (total of inputs or outputs, not the sum of input and outputs).  
1 The terms radio and transceiver are used interchangeably in this guide.  
2 The terms remote and slave are used interchangeably in this guide.

IGWiPS200-1  
Each transceiver and each I/O Expansion module has bus connectors on both sides of its cover: a male connector on  
one side, a female connector on the other. A transceiver and several I/O Expansion modules can be physically  
interconnected by way of their bus connectors and then snapped onto a section of DIN rail as a single unit. These  
bus connectors carry signal, power, and ground connections between the interconnected devices.  
An easy to use wireless network Configurator is available at the Siemens Internet site to help you select remote  
transceivers and I/O expansion modules. A master transceiver and one remote transceiver are the configuration  
starting point. When adding an I/O module to a remote transducer, the complementary module is automatically  
added to the master transceiver. For example, adding an 8-Channel Digital Input Module to a remote transceiver will  
cause an 8-Channel Digital Output Module to be automatically added to the master transceiver. The online  
Configurator totals the number of I/O Expansion modules and displays a warning if the maximum quantity is  
exceeded.

All 200 Series transceivers and I/O Expansion module have bus connectors for distribution of power and data.  
A WiPS Series 200 transceiver is a frequency hopping spread spectrum radio designed for professional installation  
and integration with other products. When installed with an approved antenna and cable, the system integrator needs  
to make sure that the unit’s FCC label is clearly visible on the outside of the integrated product. WiPS is approved  
within the 902 to 928 MHz ISM band under 47CFR15.247 of the FCC Rules and Regulations.  
Frequency hopping spread spectrum technology was originally developed by the U.S. military to prevent  
interference or interception of radio transmissions on the battlefield. Frequency hopping devices concentrate their  
full power into a very narrow signal and randomly hop from one frequency to another within a designated frequency  
band. If they encounter interference on a particular frequency, the devices error-check the affected data, hop to  
another point on the spectrum, and resume communications on subsequent hops. Since there are always spaces  
without interference somewhere in the allotted radio spectrum, a frequency hopping device will use those spaces to  
complete a transmission.

INSTALLATION  
This section provides installation procedures for a WiPS 200 Series wireless network. A wireless network contains a  
master transceiver and up to eight remote (i.e. slave) transceivers. I/O Expansion modules provide the network with  
additional analog, digital, and pulse I/O capacity. Transceivers and I/O modules are mounted on user-supplied DIN  
rail by the installer. Accessories include antennas (omnidirectional and directional as needed), low-loss antenna  
cables, connector adapters, voltage transient suppression adapters, and power supplies.  
A sample installation is shown in Figure 1. It shows a DIN-rail mounted transceiver and two I/O modules located in  
a NEMA 4X rated enclosure. Note the use of a single-point ground system to prevent undesired ground loop  
currents. Installation of user-supplied DIN rail and transceiver and I/O modules is discussed later in this section.  
The highly directional Yagi antenna, shown below, is used when data transmission over longer distances is  
necessary. An omnidirectional whip antenna is used for shorter distances and when a circular radiation pattern is  
desired, often due to the wide physical distribution of remote transceivers. Regardless of antenna type, a surge  
arrestor is highly recommended, particularly in out-of-doors installations, to protect the connected transceiver from  
very large voltages induced by lightning strikes and other electromagnetic events.

ANTENNA CONNECTORS AND SURGE VOLTAGE PROTECTION  
Each transceiver has an MCX female antenna connector. The base 3-1/2", 1/4-wave whip antenna has an MCX male  
connector. Optional higher gain antennas and low-loss coaxial cables have type-N connectors. MCX to type-N  
adapters and other connector adapters are available. Optional antennas may be accompanied by additional  
installation instructions.  
If an antenna will be installed out-of-doors or otherwise exposed to surge voltages or strong electromagnetic fields,  
such as from a nearby lightning strike, a COAXTRAB Surge Voltage Protection Adapter should be included in the  
installation; see Figure 1 for a typical installation. The adapter features a user replaceable gas arrestor tube that  
shunts induced high voltage to ground to help protect the transceiver.  
Type-N connectors are provided on the adapter; the genders of the two adapter connectors are specified by the  
adapter part number. Mount the surge adapter through a bulkhead, through the wall of an enclosure (as shown in  
Figure 1), in-line with the antenna cable, on the supplied straight bracket, or on a user-fabricated bracket. Installation  
instructions are supplied with the adapter.  
CURRENT (AMPERAGE) BUDGET CALCULATION  
A common current bus interconnects a transceiver and its connected I/O modules; see Figure 2. The current on this  
bus may not exceed 5A. This section shows how to calculate the current flowing on the common current bus. Note  
that the calculations in this section are also useful when determining power supply requirements at each transceiver  
location.  
Figure 2 shows a two-node (remote site and control room) wireless network. The remote site has a remote  
transceiver, two input modules, and a power supply. The master transceiver is installed at a control room with two  
complementary output modules and a power supply.  
The bus current at each transceiver location is calculated by summing the current requirements for the transceiver  
and all connected I/O modules. Table 2 lists the current requirements of each module type.

IGWiPS200-1  
A. Analog Output and Digital Output Fault Response Selections  
Three I/O modules (4-Channel Analog Output Module, 8-Channel Digital Output Module, and Combination  
Input/Output Module) contain DIP switches that may be set by the user to determine the module’s response to the  
connected transceiver’s loss of an RF Link or to the loss of an input signal. There is a DIP switch for each signal  
channel allowing individual programming of each channel. See Figures 13, 15, and 16 on pages 23, 24, and 25  
respectively.  
When a loss of RF Link or signal occurs:  
If the DIP switch is set to ON, the default setting, the output from that channel will MAINTAIN LAST STATE.  
If the DIP switch is set to OFF, the output from an analog channel will be 2 mA; the output from a digital  
channel will be OFF.  
Refer to paragraph C to set the DIP switches.  
B. Pulse Input and Pulse Output Mode of Operation Selections  
The 2-Channel Pulse Input Module has five sliding-shunt switches, the complementary 2-Channel Pulse Output  
Module has four DIP switches. Several switches are used to select mode of operation: counter or frequency. Others  
allow selection of coupling, impedance, speed, and sensor input. Setting for Pulse Input and Pulse Output Modules  
are detailed below. Refer to paragraph C to set the switches.  
Pulse Input Module (See Figure 17 on page 26)  
Switch 1 Coupling – AC or DC; Default setting is AC  
Set the jumper to AC Coupling if the pulse voltage will never drop below 3.6V with respect to the  
transceivers power supply negative. This would apply where there is a DC bias voltage added to the pulse  
input voltage, where the DC bias exceeds 3.6V such as in a ground loop condition. All other applications,  
including an AC sine wave input, should be set to DC Coupling.  
Switch 2 Input Impedance – Low or High; Default setting is High  
The Low impedance setting has an input impedance of 1K Ohm and the High setting has an impedance of  
90K Ohm. Use the High impedance setting for magnetic transducers to prevent the current draw from  
dropping the voltage below the 100 mVAC peak-to-peak minimum. Use the Low impedance setting for  
digital and relay interfaces because the additional current draw will prevent electrical noise from causing  
false pulse counts.  
Switch 3 Operation – Counter or Frequency; Default setting is Counter  
Pulse input values are stored in the PLC register in either of two formats: an absolute count of the number of  
pulses, which will require that the register be reset periodically to prevent overflow, or a frequency value.  
The frequency setting will take the average number of pulses every second.  
Switch 4 Speed – Low or High; Default setting is High  
The Low speed pulse setting is for a maximum input frequency of 2 Hz with a minimum pulse width of 70  
ms. The High speed setting is designed for pulse frequencies up to 32 kHz and requires a minimum pulse  
width of 10 microseconds. Use the Low speed setting for mechanical pulse generating devices such as relays  
and the high speed setting for all other applications. The Low speed setting prevents contact bounce from  
being recorded as pulses.  
Switch 5 Sensor Input – Single Ended (Common Mode) or Differential Mode; Default setting is Single  
Ended  
If the pulse signal is expected to be of negative polarity, with respect to ground, set the module to Differential  
mode, whereas if the signal will remain positive at all times, set it to Single Ended (Common Mode).

IGWiPS200-1  
Pulse Output Module (See Figure 18 on page 26)  
There are two DIP switches for each channel: switches 1 and 2 for channel 1, switches 3 and 4 for channel 2.  
Switches 1 (CH1) and 3 (CH2) – Counter or Frequency Mode; Default setting is Counter  
When Counter mode is selected, the module will output a specific number of pulses as determined by the  
PLC value written to it by the Pulse Input Module. If Frequency mode is selected, the pulse output module  
will generate pulses in accordance with the desired frequency, with a 50% duty cycle. In Frequency mode,  
the low or high speed switch setting below is ignored.  
Switches 2 (CH1) and 4 (CH2) – Low or High Speed Operation; Default setting is High  
Set this switch when the channel is set to Counter mode; see preceding paragraph. If High speed is selected  
the pulses will be sent at a frequency of 10 kHz with a 50% duty cycle. If Low speed is selected the pulses  
will be sent at a frequency of 10 Hz also with a 50% duty cycle.  
C. Setting Module Switches  
Perform the following steps to change switches from default settings.  
1. Place an anti-static wrist strap on your wrist and connect the strap’s ground lead to a good ground. If  
the module to be configured is installed on DIN rail, go to step 2; if it has not been installed, go the  
step 3.  
2. Remove power and signal from the transceiver and all I/O modules, if the module is installed and wired.  
At the module to be configured, remove the wired connector block(s) from the module; see Figure 5 on page 17  
for photographs (alternatively, label each wire to facilitate reconnection and then disconnect the wires).  
Physically separate interconnected modules to disconnect the common current bus connectors. Use a small  
straight slot screwdriver to lever the spring-loaded module mounting lip away from the DIN rail allowing that  
module to slide on the rail. Remove the module from the DIN rail.  
3. Remove the faceplate/circuit board assembly by locating a rectangular recess near the numbered terminals on  
the top of the module cover; see the photographs below and Figure 4 on page 15. With a small flat blade  
screwdriver, press the tab in the recess inward and pull that corner of the faceplate outward slightly. Repeat this  
process at the bottom of the module. Carefully pull the faceplate/circuit board assembly from the cover.  
4. Locate the module at hand in Figures 12 through 18 on pages 23 through 26. Set the switches as described in the  
appropriate preceding paragraph and figure.  
5. Press the faceplate ribbon cable into the module and carefully insert the circuit board into its cover until it snaps  
into place. When inserting the circuit board into its cover, be sure the circuit board engages the card guides in  
the cover and that the circuit board card edge connector mates with the connector in the cover.  
6. If the module was removed from DIN rail in step 2, install the module on the rail. Fully insert the connector  
blocks (or connect removed wires).  
7. Repeat the above steps for each module containing switches.

MOUNTING THE DIN RAIL  
At each installation site, mount the DIN rail and DIN rail mount modules (e.g. transceiver, I/O modules, power  
supply) in a NEMA enclosure appropriate for the environment and hazardous area classification. Refer to Figure 3  
for transceiver and I/O module dimensions. Allow room for:

Accessories (e.g. low loss cable and MCX to N-type connector adapter, surge voltage protection adapter)  
Conduit adapters  
Operator controls  
Circuit protection/safety devices (e.g. switches, circuit breakers, or fuses)  
Other items as determined by the installer/user.  
Fasten the DIN rail to a rigid panel within the enclosure using user-supplied hardware. An enclosure is required in a  
hazardous area installation. In a non-hazardous area, a secure enclosure can provide safety for area personnel and it  
restricts access to the equipment.  
IMPORTANT  
The DIN rail must be grounded. When mounting the DIN rail in a non-conductive  
enclosure, install a ground wire between the rail and the single point ground.  
DIN Rail Mount Transceiver or I/O Expansion Module  
Figure 3 Physical Dimensions  
MOUNTING A TRANSCEIVER OR I/O MODULE  
I/O Expansion Modules may be mounted on a section of DIN rail in any sequence. Mount the Transceiver at either  
end of the row of up to 8 I/O modules, to ensure sufficient heat dissipation.  
IMPORTANT  
If a module contains configuration switches that have not been set, refer to I/O Module  
Configuration Switch Selections on page 11 before installing the module on DIN rail. A list  
of modules with configuration switches is provided in the referenced section.  
At each installation site, the transceiver and I/O modules are interconnected by built-in bus connectors; see Figure 4  
below. Each module has male bus connectors on one side and female bus connectors on the other. When mounting  
modules on a DIN rail, be sure to correctly orient modules so they interconnect and the module faceplates are  
oriented for easy reading. Refer to the following procedures to install modules.  
14  
May 2007  
 
IGWiPS200-1  
Each module has a moveable, spring-loaded mounting lip to assist in mounting a module, sliding a module along the  
DIN rail, and removing a module from the DIN rail. This lip has a slotted tab so the blade of a small screwdriver can  
be inserted and the lip levered away from the rail.  
Figure 4 Module Features  
To mount a row of up to 8 modules on a DIN rail:  
1. Interconnect the modules by mating the bus connectors.  
2. Hook the fixed mounting lips, see Figure 4, on the DIN rail.  
3. Press the assembly onto the DIN rail. The spring-loaded mounting lips will snap onto the rail. Do not use  
excessive force.  
4. A transceiver is supplied with a bus connector cover, shown at right. Place the cover over the  
exposed male bus connectors at one end of a group of modules.  
To add a module to a row:  
1. Note the gender of the installed module’s bus connector.  
2. Orient the module and hook the module’s fixed mounting lip on the DIN rail.  
3. Press the module against the DIN rail until the spring-loaded mounting lip snaps onto the rail.  
4. Slide the module to one side until the bus connector mates with the adjacent module. A module will easily slide  
on the DIN rail if the spring-loaded lip is levered away from the rail.  
5. As required, place a bus connector cover (supplied with a transceiver) over the exposed male bus connectors at  
one end of a group of modules.  
To remove a module from the DIN rail:  
1. Separate the module to be removed from adjacent modules. To move a module, use a small straight-slot  
screwdriver to lever the spring loaded mounting lip slightly away from the rail and slide the module along the  
DIN rail until the bus connectors separate. Be sure the bus connectors on both sides of the module to be  
removed are fully disengaged from adjacent modules.  
2. On the module to be removed, lever the moveable, spring-loaded mounting lip away from the DIN rail. Then  
pull the module from the DIN rail.

MOUNTING THE 1/4-WAVE WHIP ANTENNA  
Mount the 3-1/6" (80.4 mm) high, omnidirectional whip antenna5, shown at right, within 5' (1.5m) of the  
transceiver to allow the supplied 6' (2m) cable to easily reach between the antenna and transceiver. A  
mounting bracket and three screws are supplied. Antenna spacing (transmitter to receiver) should not  
exceed 600' to 1000' (183m to 305m). Line of sight is not a requirement.  
Incorrect antenna placement and positioning can have a significant impact on the performance of the  
system. Keep the omnidirectional antenna vertical and mounted as high as possible.  
1. Fasten the supplied right-angle bracket to a rigid, vibration-free surface such that the antenna is oriented  
vertically.  
2. Unscrew the black disk from the antenna cable end. Insert the antenna cable stud into the large center hole in  
the bracket and thread the disk onto the stud. The shallow shoulder on the disk should be toward the bracket  
surface. Refer to the cover of this publication.  
3. Center the disk in the hole using the shallow shoulder on the disk to assist centering and then tighten the disk.  
The supplied hex wrench can be inserted in a hole in the disk perimeter to help tighten the disk. Do not over  
tighten. The threaded stud must not be in contact with the grounded bracket.  
4. Thread the antenna onto the stud and tighten.  
5. Once the transceiver is installed, plug the MCX male connector on the end of the antenna cable into the MCX  
female connector on the transceiver faceplate.  
WIRING  
This section provides wiring guidelines for the transceiver and I/O Expansion modules.  
A wireless network contains a master transceiver and up to eight matched remote transceivers. These transceivers  
will communicate only with each other. Refer to Installation, Matched Transceivers for additional information.  
Before wiring transceivers, confirm that the ID numbers match and that the installed locations are correct. This is  
particularly important when installing several wireless networks.  
These devices must be wired in accordance with Class 1, Div. 2 wiring methods as described in the National  
Electrical Code, Article 501-4(b) or the authority having jurisdiction.  
DANGER  
Electrical shock hazard  
Explosion hazard  
Will cause death or injury.  
Remove power from all wires and terminals before working on  
equipment.  
In a potentially hazardous atmosphere, remove power from equipment  
before connecting or disconnecting power, signal, or other circuit.  
Observe all pertinent regulations regarding installation in a hazardous  
area.  
5 For other antenna models, refer to the appropriate antenna Data Sheet for specifications and mounting dimensions. Additional  
installation information may be provided with the antenna.

IGWiPS200-1  
Electrical Connections – Power and I/O connections are completed through screw actuated compression terminals.  
Connector blocks can be removed from a module for wiring, as shown in the two figures below. Insert a small  
straight-slot screwdriver between a connector block and the faceplate and use a gentle prying motion to separate the  
connector block from the module. Each connector in a module is uniquely keyed. When installing a connector block,  
be sure to fully insert the block in the module.

Wire Stripping Recommendations:  
Screw terminal wiring - 1/4" (6 mm) to 5/16" (8 mm)  
Be careful not to nick the conductor or cut away strands.  
Wire Selection - Stranded wire is recommended for most connections. Carefully select wire size, conductor  
material, and insulation. Some selection considerations are:  
current and voltage to be carried  
total length of each wire run  
whether wire will be bundled or run singly  
indoor or outdoor installation  
temperature extremes (Use supply wires suitable for 5°C (10°F) above ambient temperature.)  
exposure to sunlight  
vibration  
types of contaminates  
Wire Routing and Conduit - DC wiring should be separated from AC wiring and away from AC powered  
pushbuttons, alarms, annunciators, motors, solenoids, and similar devices. Conduit and raceways are commonly  
used for routing wiring. Wiring not installed in conduit or raceway should be clamped or supported approximately  
every 12 inches (300 mm).  
Power Input Circuit Protection  
A circuit protection device must be installed in the power input circuit between the power source and the WiPS  
transceiver or I/O module. Locate the protective device in a non-hazardous area unless suitable for use in a  
hazardous area. Circuit protection can be provided by a circuit breaker, fuse or on-off switch accessible to the  
operator, except where otherwise stated in this guide or by a certifying agency.  
AC to DC (converter) power supply – Typically, this power supply includes a fuse or circuit breaker in its  
output circuit and often includes current limiting. An additional protective device at the module enclosure is  
recommended. Check power supply specifications carefully.  
Battery power supply – This power system, because of the large amount of energy stored in a battery, must  
include circuit protection.

Transceiver Wiring Examples  
Five transceiver wiring examples are provided below. Figures 6, 7, and 8 show typical transceiver wiring for 2-wire,  
3-wire, and 4-wire current loops. Figures 9 and 10 show two variations on the wiring for a loop powered external  
analog device. Also shown in Figures 9 and 10 is the wiring for an RF Link annunciator, which can be an input to a  
PLC or controller or a separate light or siren. A digital output wiring example is provided in Figure 9.  
The transceiver is DC-powered, typically by a DIN rail mount power supply, as shown below. The power supply for  
the transceiver also powers the connected I/O modules. Power is supplied through the transceiver and across the  
common current bus as shown in Figure 2 on page 10.

Transceiver RF Link and Output State Wiring Options  
This section describes the transceiver RF link status relay and the analog output and digital output wiring options. A  
block diagram of the transceiver is shown in Figure 11.  
Figure 11 Transceiver Block Diagram  
Transceiver RF Link  
The RF Link relay has Form A, Normally Open (NO) contacts that close when the transceiver establishes an RF link  
with another transceiver. The contacts are often used to turn on a STATUS light, provide a digital status signal to a  
controller or PLC, or mechanically disconnect an analog or digital signal, as described below, when an RF link is  
lost. Refer to the Specifications section for relay contact rating.  
For additional information about RF Link response, refer to Transceiver and I/O Expansion Module Status LEDs on  
page 30.  
Transceiver Analog and Digital Output Last State Selection  
The default state upon loss of RF link for the analog and digital outputs is MAINTAIN LAST STATE. Either an  
analog output or a digital output may be wired in series with the RF Link contact to provide a FAULT OFF status  
when an RF link is lost. Refer to the Specifications section for relay contact rating.

ASSIGNING AND SETTING I/O MODULE ADDRESSES  
Module addresses are 1 through 8, as shown on the module faceplates in Figure 19. The top row in the figure shows  
three I/O modules at a location (for example, at a remote location). The lower row shows the complementary I/O  
modules at another location (for example, at the control room); transceivers are not shown. Note that the modules in  
each complementary pair are set to the same address. For example, the Analog Output Module at the remote location  
(yellow faceplate) and the complementary Analog Input Module at the control room (green faceplate) are set to  
address 1. The small triangle symbol points to the selected module address.  
When assigning I/O module addresses:  
Assign a module address to each complementary pair of I/O modules on a wireless network.  
An address may be used for only ONE complementary pair on each wireless network.  
If module addresses conflict or are improperly set within a complimentary pair, the STATUS LED will light; see the  
Transceiver and I/O Expansion Module Status LED Indications section on page 30.

HAZARD LABEL  
A label, similar to that shown here, is included in a WiPS shipment. The installer or  
user should post this label in an appropriate, highly visible location near the WiPS  
modules. Possible label mounting locations include: on the outside of an enclosure  
housing WiPS modules or inside that enclosure adjacent to the modules.  
ADDING A REMOTE OR SPARE TRANSCEIVER TO YOUR NETWORK  
When WiPS transceivers are ordered, two or more transceivers are supplied as  
matched devices, meaning that they share the same electronic identifier and  
frequency hopping pattern. This data is stored in a Hop Key. The Hop Key in a  
transceiver can be removed and physically transferred to another transceiver  
producing a second matched transceiver. The original matched transceiver will  
retain its Hop Key data and operate normally even though the Key has been  
removed.  
The following procedure describes transferring the Hop Key from a matched transceiver to an unmatched  
transceiver (e.g. spare transceiver part number TGX:16347-320) thereby producing another matched transceiver.  
The newly matched transceiver can then be used as a remote transceiver in a multipoint-to-point system, a spare  
transceiver, or a replacement (master or remote) transceiver. Once the Hop Key is installed in the transceiver and  
power is applied, the transceiver will memorize the identification, hop frequencies, and hop sequence of the matched  
transceiver. When power is removed, it will retain this information, even if the Hop Key is removed. The newly  
matched transceiver and the original matched transceiver will communicate with the other matched transceiver(s).  
IMPORTANT  
When replacing or adding a transceiver to a wireless network, remember that a network  
node can have one (1) master transceiver and up to eight (8) remote transceivers.  
To Transfer a Hop Key  
1. Place an anti-static wrist strap on your wrist and connect the strap’s ground lead to a good ground.  
2. If the transceiver is installed, remove power from the transceiver and all I/O connections.  
Remove the wired connector blocks from the transceiver; see Figure 5 on page 17 for photographs  
(alternatively, label each wire to facilitate reconnection and then disconnect the wires). Physically separate any  
connected I/O modules and remove the transceiver from the DIN rail.  
3. Remove the faceplate/circuit board assembly locating a rectangular recess near the numbered terminals on the  
top of the transceiver cover (see Figure 4 on page 17 and Figure 20 below). With a small flat blade screwdriver,  
press the tab in the recess inward and pull that corner of the faceplate outward slightly. Repeat this process at  
the bottom of the transceiver. Carefully pull the faceplate/circuit board assembly from the cover.

IGWiPS200-1  
4. Locate the Hop Key (a small circuit board) at the rear edge of the top circuit board, see the figure below.  
Unplug the Hop Key and set it aside.  
Hop Key  
Location  
5. Carefully insert the faceplate/circuit board assembly in its cover until it snaps into place. When inserting the  
assembly into its cover, be sure the circuit board enters the card guides in the cover and the circuit board card  
edge connector mates with the connector in the cover.  
6. Remove the spare transceiver’s cover as described above in step 3.  
7. Insert the Hop Key from the original transceiver into the spare transceiver - carefully align the Hop Key  
connector with the main circuit board pins. Carefully insert the faceplate/circuit board assembly in the enclosure  
– review step 5 as needed to ensure correct orientation.  
8. Label the spare transceiver with the Hop Key 5-digit ID number and suffix (M for master, S for remote).  
9. If replacing the original transceiver, mount the spare transceiver on the DIN rail and complete all needed  
connections. Otherwise install the original transceiver and complete all needed connections.  
10. Remove the anti-static wrist strap from your wrist.  
When power is applied to the “spare” transceiver, it will memorize Hop Key data - allow a few seconds after power  
up for the data to transfer to transceiver memory.  
POST INSTALLATION SIGNAL STRENGTH AND LED INDICATIONS  
This section describes a method for determining whether received signal strength is adequate. It also provides status  
LED indications that will help to assess whether the wireless network is operating properly.  
There are no user serviceable parts within a transmitter or receiver. Should service be needed, see the Product  
Support section to contact Siemens.  
TRANSCEIVER RSSI  
RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator) is measured using a DC voltmeter between the provided test point and  
power supply ground. The test point is accessed by inserting a positive meter probe into the RSSI receptacle on the  
face of the transceiver module and connecting the negative meter probe to the module’s Ground terminal.  
The RSSI graph in Figure 21 can be used to test the received signal strength. Ideally, the meter reading should be 2.5  
Vdc or more. This represents a 90 dB signal loss and typically indicates that the transceiver has 20 dB fade margin  
left until loss of link. It is recommended that a transceiver be set up with no less than a 20 dB margin.

TRANSCEIVER AND I/O EXPANSION MODULE STATUS LED INDICATIONS  
Power LED  
Indicates the presence of power to the module. It is ON when power is present and OFF when  
there is no power.  
Status LED  
When flashing rapidly, it indicates an internal error or a module type mismatch. A module type  
mismatch occurs when the module address selection for two different modules (i.e. one digital  
modules and one analog module are set to the same address or two pairs of modules are sharing  
the same address).  
RF Link LED  
Flashes once every two seconds when there is no RF link.  
Note: At the Master transceiver, an RF Link failure will not be indicated by the master  
transceiver or the connected I/O Expansion Modules until the master has lost RF Link with  
all Remote transceivers. A Remote transceiver will indicate a loss of RF Link when it  
cannot communicate with the master transceiver.  
Flashes rapidly when signal strength is marginal (see the RSSI graph in the Servicing section of  
this guide.  
ON steady indicates an exceptionally strong RF link.  
Most systems will flash occasionally indicating the presence of intermittent interference in the  
area.  
Digital  
OFF means that the digital input or output circuit is Open.  
Input/Output  
ON means that the digital input or output circuit is Closed.  
PULSE INPUT MODULE DIAGNOSTIC LED’S  
There are 4 diagnostic LED’s on the pulse input module:  
Status LED: On solid when I/O is functional and flashing if there is a conflict with another module.  
Backup Power LED: On solid when the backup power supply is powering the module. Off when primary  
power is powering the module.
