Option 2: Use a static IPv4 network

a.  Enter “D” at the prompt and then enter “0” to use a static network.

b.  Enter “I” at the prompt to set the IP address of the sensor.

c.  Enter “N” to set the netmask.

d. 

Enter “G” to set the network gateway.

Option 3: Use a static IPv6 network

a.  Enter “M” at the prompt to edit the IP mode.

b. 

Enter “1” to select IPv6 - Static.

c. 

Enter “I” to set the global IPv6 address of the sensor, if applicable.

5. 

Enter “B” to set the IP address of the BMS system or WiNG-MGR.

6. 

Enter “X” to transmit a test packet.

Sensor LED

There are several alarm and alert patterns and colors programmed for the LED.  

The LED is almost always off during standard operation and is primarily active 

during sensor configuration and reset sequences.

Color

Status Description

Blue Solid

Ready

Quick Blue/

Green Flash

Once every transmission interval.

Sensor is successfully connected to wireless network

Quick Red/

Blue Flash

Failed wireless connection

Purple Blink

Factory reset in progress

Sensor Push Button

The sensor’s push button is located next to the LED and is used to reset the sensor 

to its original factory settings. 

If you’d like to reset the sensor, it 

must

 be connected to a computer via the USB 

cable. Push and hold the button for 10 seconds. A countdown will be displayed in 

the terminal emulation software, and the LED will flash purple to indicate the sensor 

is being reset.  Once the reset is complete, the sensor LED will glow blue.

You can also press the button once to send a single packet once the sensor is 

configured on your network and the USB cable is unplugged from the sensor.

Computer with a terminal interface (CLI)

Mount the Transmitter

1. 

Remove the lid from the sensor enclosure. The lid has one large tab at the top 

and two small tabs at the bottom that secure it to the sensor base. Squeeze the 

top of the lid to release the large tab. Pivot the top of lid out from the base and 

gently separate the two bottom tabs from the base. 

NOTE:

 The serial number is printed on a white label on the outside of the 

sensor lid. The serial number on this label is unique to each sensor and you 

will need to refer to this number throughout the life span of the device. 

2. 

Remove the circuit board from the base to expose the mounting holes. Before 

you take it apart examine how the board fits into the base. You’ll have to put it 

back into the base so make sure you have a clear understanding of how it was 

assembled before you remove it.  

3. 

To remove the board pull the circuit board clip out to relieve the tension that 

holds the board in place. Angle the board up and then pull it to the right to 

remove it from the base. Move the board slowly and gently to get it out of the 

base without damaging any circuitry.

4. 

Do not mount the transmitter behind metal objects. Use the provided hardware 

to secure the base in the desired location.

5.  Put the circuit board back into the enclosure. There are two “L” shaped brackets 

along the left side of the enclosure. Angle the board in under the lip of these 

L brackets and as far down as it will go against the plastic pegs at the bottom 

of the enclosure. Guide the board so it is parallel with the base. Pull the circuit 

board clip out and push the board down until the circuit board clip snaps into 

place and secures the board. The board is a very tight fit in the enclosure. Work 

slowly and gently so the board is secured by the enclosure and doesn’t get 

damaged in the process.  

Connect the 1-WIRE Sensor

Connect the 1-wire cable to the transmitter. A leader cable is used to connect the 

1-wire sensor to the WIFI-1WIRE, since the sensor cannot connect directly to the 

transmitter.  

1. 

Insert the four stripped wires of the 1-wire leader 

cable into the appropriate slots in the 4-pin cable 

input terminal block connector - from left to right: 

black, red, green, and yellow.  Tighten the screws 

on the terminal block connector to secure the leader 

cable. 

2. 

Attach the RJ11 coupler to the opposite end of the 

leader cable. 

3. 

Plug the 1-Wire probe into the other side of coupler.

Activate the Sensor

Each sensor is equipped with two 

3.6V lithium batteries which should 

be replaced as needed. Once the 

protective battery tab has been 

removed, the average battery 

life is up to 5 years at the default 

transmission interval. Battery 

life varies based on WiFi signal 

strength, transmission interval, 

and access point performance. 

Sensors will not operate with 

alkaline batteries - make sure the 

batteries are replaced with two 

3.6V lithium cells. Safely dispose 

of old batteries.

The sensor is shipped with a 

battery pull tab in place which 

turns the device off. To activate 

the sensor, remove the protective 

tab to engage the batteries. Turn 

off the sensor by re-inserting the 

tab or removing the batteries. 

Any time the sensor is shipped, 

it should either be turned off or 

placed in a shielded container to 

prevent interference that might 

cause shipping problems.

Once the sensor is activated, put the lid back onto the sensor enclosure.

Configure the WIFI-1WIRE to Communicate on Your Network

Each WIFI-1WIRE sensor needs to be configured to communicate on your wireless 

network. Use a USB-A to Micro B cable and a computer with a terminal interface 

(CLI) to configure the sensors.

1. 

Use the USB-A to Micro B cable to plug the sensor into a computer.
