WVRC-4 Installation and Operation Manual Connecting your WVRC-4 to other equipment Analog (metering) inputs CAUTION! Analog input (metering) samples may be elevated several hundred volts above ground on some external equipment. Permanent damage may occur to the WVRC-4 and/or external equipment if a high voltage metering source is connected to the WVRC-4! Failure to observe this warning may also cause injury to the installer or other personnel.
WVRC-4 Installation and Operation Manual Status Inputs Each of the four optically isolated status inputs can be configured to accept either a contact closure (dry = default) or a (floating, wet). Attach your dry contacts to the desired status channels StxA and STxB (where x is the status input) terminals. Each input is equipped with a four-position header. Each input is labeled IN-x (where x is the status input) and the header pins are labeled 1,2,3,4.
WVRC-4 Installation and Operation Manual TEMP Sensor Probe Input Insert the temperature probes (25 foot cable) mini (3.5mm) plug in to the rear panel jack labeled “TEMP” (-40°F to +190°F (-40°C to +85°C). NOTE: Please limit the total length of cable to 50 feet. Please contact the factory for the proper extension cable. The temperature probe should only be installed or removed with the power supply disconnected from the WVRC-4.
WVRC-4 Installation and Operation Manual Dial-Up Programming Connect the supplied 12VAC power supply cord in to the WVRC-4’s power jack labeled “12VAC 1 AMP”, then plug the transformer in to a source of 120 vac 60Hz. Verify that the green “PWR” led is illuminated. Follow the steps below to configure the WVRC-4 for dial-up operation: Installing factory (Dial-up only) defaults. Remove power from the unit. Hold down the “PGM” button down while reinstalling the power plug.
WVRC-4 Installation and Operation Manual 3 - Press the front panel “PGM” button. The front panel “PGM” LED will illuminate, while the program menu on the next page will be displayed: Program Menu: Menu navigation: Press escape (ESC) to jump back to the previous menu selection, and if pressed from the PGM Menu, program mode will be exited. Dial Out Numbers These are the numbers that will be dialed when alarms are generated.
WVRC-4 Installation and Operation Manual Dial-Out List When (2) is selected from the PGM Menu, the Dial-Out List is displayed. This is where you determine what number is dialed for a selected input alarm. 1 - 4 is used for status inputs, A-D are used for Analog (metering) inputs, S for Silence Sensor, P for Power Fail and T for Temperature. The numbers after the Analog letter selection show which analog channel is being selected.
WVRC-4 Installation and Operation Manual When item (3) is selected from the PGM Menu, the Access Code, Lap, Ring Count, Repeat Count, Silence Sensor Delay Time, Power Fail Time, Hang up time, Monitor access code and Analog Debounce Time can be programmed. The “Access Code” may be changed from the default code of 123, allowing a user all control functions.
WVRC-4 Installation and Operation Manual Pager Numbers and Data Strings When item 4 is selected from the PGM Menu, the pager number and pager data can be entered. To force the WVRC-4 to dial a pager number, enter a “9” in the dial-list.
WVRC-4 Installation and Operation Manual NOTE: The decimal point may be added and is not considered part of the four digits Example: To calibrate analog (metering) channel 1, enter 1, then the desired fourdigit reading. Example: 75.00 would be seventy-five; 750.0, seven hundred and fifty while 7500 would be seventy five hundred. NOTE: The correct value on the analog (metering) input MUST be present for several seconds prior to entering OP/PGM mode.
WVRC-4 Installation and Operation Manual Temperature alarm set points are set up in the analog (metering) “Alarms” menu section. Item “9” sets the low and high set points. The entry is a four-digit number with the first digit being the F or C designator. If the first digit is a “0” then the number is assumed to be Fahrenheit. If the first digit is a “1” then Celsius is assumed. Example: To enter low and high alarm set points of 30F and 95F, enter 0030/0095.
WVRC-4 Installation and Operation Manual When “2” is selected from the menu, the following is displayed: Make changes or press ESC to accept current values. If changes are made, all four values must be entered. Valid settings are 0 through 9. A “0” will turn off the status input so that it will not generate an alarm. A 1-9 will set the “DEBounce” period from 10 to 90 seconds. That means that the input must be in the alarm state continuously for that amount of time for an alarm to be generated.

WVRC-4 Installation and Operation Manual When the WVRC-4 is called, it will answer on the number of rings programmed. When it answers, enter the default security code 123 for this example. The access LED will illuminate once a valid security code is entered, and the “Access Accepted” Message will play. After a valid access code is received, the addressed unit will generate a DTMF “AB” which will cause any other units in parallel to hang up.
WVRC-4 Installation and Operation Manual DTMF Control of Alarm Enable Registers All of the Alarm call-outs can be enabled disabled or polled remotely using DTMF control. First enter the access code. Once the unit is un-locked, the status alarms can be controlled by entering 77 followed by the status number 1 through 4 and 1 for enable, 0 of disable or 9 for poll. The analog alarms can be controlled by entering 78 followed by the analog number 1 through 4, and 1 for enable, 0 for disable or 9 for poll.
