Deadband Wireless Pneumatic Thermostat- WPT-800-DB Series 

 

 

 

Page 1 of 20 

 

Overview 

The  Cypress  Envirosystems  Deadband  Wireless  Pneumatic  Thermostat  (WPT-DB) 
retrofits an existing pneumatic thermostat to provide Direct Digital Control (DDC) like 
zone  control  functionality  with  a  deadband  at  a  fraction  of  the  time  and  cost  without 
disturbing occupants.  

The  WPT-DB  enables  remote  monitoring  of  zone  temperature,  branch  pressure, 
remote  control  of  deadbands,  and  programmable  setback  or  setup  of  the  pneumatic 
HVAC systems. It also enables integration with utility Demand Response programs.   

The WPT-DB can function either as a standalone system or can be integrated with an 
existing Building Management System via BACnet/IP.  As a result, the WPT-DB helps 
a  building  owner  and  tenants  save  energy  by  implementing  indoor  temperature 
policies, and reduces the maintenance cost of the legacy pneumatic HVAC systems. 

1.1 

Components 

The WPT-DB- 800 Series kit includes the following components: 

 

WPT-DB 

 

Universal Wall Bracket 

 

Mounting screws, #6 x 1” self-tapping (x2) 

 

Wall Anchors 

 

CR123 batteries (x2) 

1.2 

Prerequisites for Installation 

The  WPT-DB  relies  on  a  wireless  network  for  communication  unless  operating  in  a 
standalone  mode.    When  using  the  WPT-DB  in  a  standalone  mode,  these 
prerequisites  may  be  skipped.    Before  installing  the  WPT-DB,  the  wireless  network 
must be set up.  The following tasks must be completed before proceeding to WPT-
DB installation: 

 

Installation of WPT Green Box and USB Hub (HUSB) 

 

Installation of WPT Repeaters (RWAL) 

 

Assignment of a network ID to the Green Box 

 

Assignment of a unique node ID to each WPT and/or WPT-DB in the network 

Manuals  for  the  WPT  Green  Box,  HUSB,  and  repeaters  can  be  found  at
