WST-302 Wireless Shock + Contact

Specifications

Frequency: 345MHz Operating Temperature: 32°-120°F (0°-49°C)

Battery: 3V lithium CR123A Operating Humidity: 5-95% RH non condensing

Battery life: 5 years Compatible with Honeywell receivers

Magnet gap: 1 inch max Supervisory signal interval: 70 min (approx.)

Electro Mechanical Shock Sensor Normally closed contact input terminals. Wiring

may be up to 8 inches in length.

Enrolling

To enroll the sensor, set your panel into program mode, refer to your specific alarm panel manual

for details on these menus. There are three triggers on this device and each uses a unique loop

number. The shock sensor is assigned to loop 1, the built-in contact is loop 2 and for the external

input use loop 3.

When prompted by the panel:

• To enroll the shock sensor, you must trigger the electro mechanical sensor by

tapping on the device.

• To enroll the built-in door window, trigger the sensor by moving the included

magnet in and out of the range of the reed switch.

• To enroll the external contact input, trigger the sensor by closing the circuit

between the two terminal inputs. This can be done with a piece of wire, or if using

a hardwired contact, by applying the magnet to that contact.

This device will send a supervisory transmission every hour for each input and if the case is

opened, it will send a case tamper signal to each zone programmed.

Shock Sensitivity

The shock sensor sensitivity can be adjusted to set how much force is required at impact to trigger

the alarm. To increase the sensitivity, turn the white potentiometer clockwise, to decrease the

sensitivity adjust counter clockwise.

Mounting

Included with this device is double sided tape for the contact and the magnet. For reliable

bonding ensure the surface is clean and dry. Apply the tape to the sensor and then to the desired

location. Apply firm pressure for several seconds. It is not recommended to mount the tape at

temperatures below 50°F, although after 24 hours the bond will hold at low temperatures.

One side of the sensor is marked with 2 lines; this indicates the location of the reed switch. When

using the built in contact, the magnet should be mounted facing this side of the sensor, and it

must be no further than one inch from the sensor.

The external contact terminals can be used to connect the sensor to an external reed switch on

loop 3. The wires connecting to the external reed switch should not exceed 8 inches.

Replacing the Battery

When the battery is low a signal will be sent to the control panel for all the zones programmed

with this device. To replace the battery:

1. Remove the top cover to reveal the battery.

Do you have a question about the Ecolink WST-302 and is the answer not in the manual?

The WST-302 Wireless Shock + Contact device is a versatile security sensor designed for use with Honeywell receivers, offering multiple detection capabilities to enhance home or business security systems. It operates on a 345MHz frequency and is powered by a 3V lithium CR123A battery, which boasts an impressive 5-year battery life, minimizing the need for frequent replacements. The device is built to withstand a range of environmental conditions, with an operating temperature range of 32°F to 120°F (0°C to 49°C) and an operating humidity of 5-95% RH non-condensing.

Function Description:

The WST-302 integrates three distinct sensing functions: a shock sensor, a built-in magnetic contact, and an external contact input. Each function is assigned a unique loop number for enrollment with the alarm panel: loop 1 for the shock sensor, loop 2 for the built-in contact, and loop 3 for the external input. This multi-functionality allows for comprehensive monitoring of various entry points or vulnerable areas.

The shock sensor detects impacts and vibrations, triggering an alarm if a certain force threshold is met. This is particularly useful for monitoring windows, doors, or walls against forced entry attempts. The built-in contact sensor works in conjunction with an included magnet to detect the opening and closing of doors or windows. The magnet must be mounted facing the side of the sensor marked with two lines, indicating the reed switch location, and should be no further than one inch from the sensor for reliable operation. The external contact input provides flexibility, allowing users to connect the WST-302 to an external reed switch, extending its monitoring capabilities to other hardwired contacts. The wires connecting to the external reed switch should not exceed 8 inches in length.

The device sends a supervisory transmission approximately every 70 minutes for each programmed input, ensuring continuous communication with the control panel. Additionally, if the device's case is opened, it will send a case tamper signal to all programmed zones, providing an extra layer of security against unauthorized tampering.

Important Technical Specifications:

Frequency: 345MHz
Battery: 3V lithium CR123A
Battery Life: 5 years
Magnet Gap: 1 inch max (for built-in contact)
Operating Temperature: 32°-120°F (0°-49°C)
Operating Humidity: 5-95% RH non-condensing
Compatibility: Honeywell receivers
Supervisory Signal Interval: 70 minutes (approx.)
Contact Input: Normally closed terminals, wiring up to 8 inches in length for external contact.

Usage Features:

Enrollment: The enrollment process involves setting the alarm panel into program mode and then triggering each sensor function individually. Tapping the device enrolls the shock sensor (loop 1), moving the magnet in and out of range enrolls the built-in contact (loop 2), and closing the circuit between the terminal inputs (e.g., with a wire or by applying a magnet to a hardwired contact) enrolls the external contact (loop 3).
Shock Sensitivity Adjustment: The shock sensor's sensitivity can be fine-tuned to match specific environmental needs. A white potentiometer on the device allows users to increase sensitivity by turning it clockwise (requiring less force to trigger) or decrease sensitivity by turning it counter-clockwise (requiring more force).
Mounting: The device comes with double-sided tape for both the contact and the magnet. For optimal adhesion, the mounting surface should be clean and dry. Firm pressure should be applied for several seconds during installation. While the bond will hold at low temperatures after 24 hours, it is not recommended to mount the tape at temperatures below 50°F initially. The side of the sensor with two lines indicates the reed switch location, crucial for correct magnet placement when using the built-in contact.

Maintenance Features:

Battery Replacement: The device is designed to alert the control panel when its battery is low, sending a signal for all programmed zones. To replace the battery, the top cover must be removed to access the battery compartment. It is essential to ensure the new CR123A battery is inserted with the positive (+) side facing as indicated on the device. After replacement, re-attaching the cover should result in an audible click, confirming proper engagement.
Regular Equipment Checks: Ecolink Intelligent Technology Inc. recommends that customers check their equipment on a regular basis for proper operation, ensuring the continued effectiveness of their security system.

The WST-302 is a reliable and adaptable wireless sensor that provides comprehensive monitoring capabilities, making it an excellent addition to any compatible security system. Its long battery life, adjustable sensitivity, and multiple sensing options contribute to a robust and user-friendly security solution.
