The WW591/592 Dual Discrete Input Field Transmitter is part of the XYR 5000 family of wireless products. It is used to transmit the status of contact switches.
Each contact is sampled 11 times a second, and the contact state and transition data are broadcast to the base radio at user defined intervals. The Smart Response Manager allows the transmitter to adapt to changing process conditions, allowing greater visibility to process variation. Smart Response Manager allows the user to set thresholds which, when exceeded, cause the transmitter to adjust sampling and data transmission rates.
The transmitter combines two discrete inputs with a Radio Frequency (RF) transceiver that communicates in a digital protocol, using Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS). FHSS ensures data integrity by continually switching the carrier wave over a wide range of frequencies. Power is supplied by a C size 3.6 V lithium battery, with an expected lifetime of up to five years.
