Testing Battery Status
Initiate a battery status test as follows:
•
On the WZS, push the Test button on the sensor (see
location on
Figure 102
). LED5 on the sensor responds
by indicating the level of battery strength, as shown in
Table 68
.
•
On the WDS, push the Test button on the sensor (see
location on
Figure 103
). In response, a battery test
symbol appears on the display. The symbol shown
indicates battery life expectancy (see
Table 69
).
24 V Power Status Indicator
LED5 on the receiver of all models (see
Figure 101 ,
page 130
) lights and stays constantly On when 24 V power
is normal.
Check Signal Strength on a Site
Use the wireless sensor system to check the signal
strength on a site.
1.
Power up a receiver with a 24 V transformer (user
supplied).
2. Associate the sensor to a receiver of the same model
intended for the job.
3. Place the receiver at the desired location.
4. Place or hold the sensor at the desired location.
5. Press the Test button (S5) on the sensor and observe
the signal strength as indicated by LED1, LED2, and
LED3 on model WZS (see
Figure 102
), and on the
display on model WDS (see
Figure 103 , page 131
).
For more information on interpreting the LEDs and the
display symbols that indicate signal strength, see
“Testing
Signal Strength,” page 132
.
Replacing Sensor Batteries
Sensor battery type, length of life, and installation are
addressed in this section.
Battery Type
Use two non-rechargeable 1.5 V lithium AA batteries in the
sensor. To maintain UL rating, use only UL-listed lithium
batteries. The sensor ships with Energizer
®
L91 batteries
already installed. Replacement batteries are available at
Trane Service Parts Centers (p/n X13770035010) or other
local suppliers.
Battery Life
Battery life is five years under normal conditions. If the
sensor is not used for an extended period of time, do one
of the following:
•
Set the sensor address to 000 to place the sensor into
a low-power hibernation mode.
•
Remove the batteries

NOTICE:
Equipment Damage!
The batteries are manufactured in a ready-to-use state.
They are not designed for recharging. Recharging can
cause battery leakage or, in some cases, can cause the
safety release vent to open.
NOTICE:
Equipment Damage!
Do not attempt to hook up the sensor to a power
supply. Equipment damage may result.
