3. Place the WCI at the desired location.
4. Place or hold the WCS at the desired location.
5. Press the WCS center keypad button and observe the test symbols on the WCS display. (See
“Testing WCS Signal Quality and Battery Life,” p. 74. )
Battery Information
Sensor battery type, length of life, and installation are addressed in this section.
Sensor Battery Type
NOTICE
Battery Damage!
Failure to follow instructions below could result in battery leakage and, in some cases, cause
the safety release vent to open.
Do NOT attempt to recharge the batteries. The batteries are manufactured in a ready-to-use
state and are NOT designed for recharging.
NOTICE
Sensor Damage!
Do not hook up the sensor to a power supply as it could result in sensor damage.
It is unlikely that you will have to replace the battery. If replacement becomes necessary, use only an
Energizer L91 Ultimate Lithium AA battery or equivalent.
Sensor Battery Life
Battery life for WCS-SD, -SB, -SB/R is 15 years under normal conditions. Battery life for WCS-SO and
WCS-SCO
2
is 10 years under normal conditions. If the sensor is not used for an extended period of
time, do one of the following:
• Set the group and net addresses to 0,0 to place the sensor into a low-power hibernation mode.
• Remove the batteries or place an insulator between the batteries.
Notes:
• If lithium batteries are temporarily unavailable, alkaline batteries can be used. However,
alkaline battery life is very short by comparison.
• The battery life for a model WDS may decrease with extended LCD display activity.
Battery Installation
WARNING
Risk of Injury with Batteries!
Failure to follow handling instructions below could result in severe injury.
• Do NOT install batteries backwards.
• Do NOT disassemble, charge, or expose batteries to water, fire, or high temperature.
• Keep batteries away from children. If swallowed, contact your local poison control center
immediately.
1. Observe the polarity indicators that are molded into the cover.
2. Install two batteries (of the type specified in “Sensor Battery Type,” p. 75) in the battery-holding slot
that is molded into the sensor cover.
The sensor has been designed to prevent damage if the batteries are installed backwards, to reduce
the potential for injury.
