XW-ED-Series

Supported Applications

The XW-ED / XW-ED-PRO Long Range Wireless Transmitter by Omega provides a wireless interface for digital probes, digital I/O, and analog process signals. Designed for demanding industrial applications in both indoor and harsh outdoor environments, the series operates on the IEEE 802.15.4 standard at 2.4 GHz with a range of up to 1000 m (3280') outdoors and 100 m (328') indoors without obstruction.

The transmitter supports measurement types including:

• Smart Probes
• Analog process signals: 4-20 mA, mV
• Digital inputs: Frequency, Counter, Up/Down Counter, Pulse Width (Tpw), Pulse Delay (Tpp), Duty Cycle
• Discrete I/O for local control and alarm functions (XW-ED-PRO only)

Operating Conditions & Performance

The series is housed in a rugged, weatherproof polycarbonate enclosure rated NEMA 4 (IP65). Operating conditions vary by power source:

• Base Unit: -20 to 70°C (-4 to 158°F), 90% RH non-condensing
• CR2032 Battery (RTC back-up only): -20 to 60°C (-4 to 140°F), 90% RH
• Alkaline Battery: -18 to 55°C (-0.4 to 131°F), 90% RH non-condensing

Battery life is up to 5 years with a reading frequency of 1 reading per 10 minutes using two C-cell 1.5Vdc alkaline batteries (included). The device features direct USB configuration via SYNC software.

Configuration Options

The series offers configurable dimensions across measurement types, power options, and connectivity:

• Power Supply Options:
• Input Voltage: 5 to 36 Vdc, 24 Vac +/-10%
• Battery: Two C-cell 1.5Vdc (included) or CR2032 Lithium Back-Up** Battery (RTC back-up only)
• Optional AC Power Adaptor (UNIV-AC-100/240-5-M8): Nominal Output 5 Vdc @ 0.6 A, Input 100 to 240 Vdc
• Digital Inputs Accuracy:
• Frequency (0.01Hz to 100 Hz): ±0.5%
• Frequency (100Hz to 1000Hz): ±1 Hz averaged over 1s
• Counter: ±1 count max
• Pulse Width/Delay: ±50uS ±1% or ±50uS f
• Analog Inputs Accuracy:

• Voltage (0 to 1V): ±5.0 mV

Compatible Probes and Accessories

The series supports zSeries* and Smart Probes, including:

• Infrared: SP-001-0 (6:1 FOV), SP-002-0 (10:1 FOV)
• M12 Connectors: BT-SMP (Barometric/Temp), TH-SMP (Temp/RH), BTH-SMP (Barometric/Temp/RH)
• Pre-Calibrated Probes: zTHP-P-CAL-3-HU, zTHP2-P-CAL-3-HU, zBTP-P-CAL-3-P, zBTHP-P-CAL-3-HU-P-T
• Cables and Connectors: M12.8-S-M-FM (Rate/Process), M12-S-F-FM (Digital I/O), various DM12CAB lengths

Note: When using zSeries probes with the XW-ED-PRO, the discrete I/O will be disabled.

Key Product Differences

The series consists of two primary models:

• XW-ED: Long range wireless end device for use with Digital Probes.
• XW-ED-PRO: Long range wireless end device and Edge Controller for use with Digital Probes. Adds 2 discrete open drain digital inputs/outputs on a 4-pin M12 male connector for local control and alarm functions.
