Limitless™ Wireless Pressure Sensor
WPS Series
Honeywell Wireless Pressure Sensors, WPS Series is WPAN 802.15.4 compliant wireless point-to-point (P2P) device
that will easily integrate into new or pre-existing instrumentation systems. It has a variety of remote or built-in antenna
options.
It features a rugged plastic enclosure, corrosion-resistant construction, and is suitable for outdoor applications in
harsh environments due to its IP67 sealed enclosure. Its 316L stainless steel pressure port has a Hastelloy® C-276
pressure diaphragm, making it resilient to the harshest of process media. The direct- or remote-mount antenna
options add exibility for adaptation to different applications.
The WPS Series is benecial for remote pressure monitoring applications where wiring or wire maintenance is not
physically possible or economically feasible. Combining this greater exibility with proven harsh-duty packaging can
result in increased efciencies and ease in establishing remote, cost-effective process sensing.

Features
and Benefits
WIRELESS DESIGN
Radio (license-free and global): WPAN 802.15.4, 2.4 GHz, point-to-point (P2P)
provides increased reliability, flexibility, and security in wireless
transmission. Up to 305 m [1000 ft] line-of-sight communication range when
used with Honeywell’s Wireless Multi-Protocol Receiver (WMPR) module, sold
separately.
CONFIGURABLE PLATFORM
Designed for global availability, a wide variety of inputs with simple and
universal PLC connections are available. The WPS Series provides a Total Error
Band (TEB) of ±2.0 % within the operating temperature range. It can measure
gage or absolute* pressures from 0 psi to 50 psi through 0 psi to 10,000 psi.
WELL-SUITED FOR TOUGH ENVIRONMENTS
IP67 sealed polycarbonate plastic enclosure ** with 316L Port and Hastelloy®
C-276 diaphragm and direct- or remote-mount antenna options. The sensor’s
body can be rotated/swiveled 350 degrees about the port axis so that the
LCD can be oriented in the desired reading position after installation.
REMOTE CONTROL AND MONITORING
License-free RF wireless protocol standards allow for remote control and
monitoring of processes and equipment.
RECONFIGURABLE
Ability to reconfigure multiple WPS Series’ inputs allows users to easily add,
subtract, or relocate the WPS Series sensor. Reduces issues with wire
connection integrity on moving equipment.
REDUCES COSTS
Minimizes installation/maintenance costs because there are no wires,
conduit, strain relief, clips, connectors, connection boxes, etc.
OFF-THE-SHELF BATTERIES
Batteries Readily available batteries can be obtained from electrical supply
houses and distributors.
* Absolute pressure devices require longer lead times.
**Suitability of the device for the operating environment needs to be assessed by the end user.

Limitless™ Point-to-Point Wireless Pressure Sensor
PRESSURE SENSOR GLOSSARY OF TERMS
Absolute Pressure (a) – Pressure measured relative to a perfect
vacuum (zero pressure) reference.
Absolute Pressure Sensor – Product whose output is proportion-
al to the difference between applied pressure and a built-in fixed ref-
erence to vacuum (zero pressure). Typically the Minimum Operating
Pressure (Pmin.) is set to absolute zero pressure (perfect vacuum).
Accuracy – The maximum deviation in output from a Best Fit
Straight Line (BFSL) fitted to output measured over the Compen-
sated Pressure Range at Reference Temperature. Includes all errors
due to: Pressure Non-Linearity, Pressure Hysteresis and Non-Re-
peatability.
Best Fit Straight Line (BFSL) – The straight line fitted through a
set of points which minimizes the sum of the square of the devia-
tions of each of the points from the straight line (‘least-squares’
method). See also Pressure Non-Linearity.
Burst Pressure – The maximum pressure that may be applied to
any port of the product without causing escape of pressure media.
The product should not be expected to function after exposure to
any pressure beyond the burst pressure. See also Overpressure.
Full Scale Span (FSS) – The algebraic difference between output
signal measured at the upper and lower limits of the Operating Pres-
sure Range. Also known as ‘Span’ or ambiguously as ‘Full Scale
Output’. (See Figure 2.)

Gage Pressure (g) – Pressure measured relative to the local ambi-
ent (atmospheric/barometric) pressure. Also known as ‘Gauge’.
Gage Pressure Sensor – Product whose output is proportional to
difference between applied pressure and local ambient (atmospher-
ic) pressure. Typically the Minimum Operating Pressure (Pmin.) is set
to atmospheric pressure.
Maximum Operating Pressure (Pmax.) – The upper limit of the
Operating Pressure Range. (See Figure 1.)
Minimum Operating Pressure (Pmin.) – The lower limit of the
Operating Pressure Range. (See Figure 1.)
Offset – The output signal obtained when the Reference Pressure is
applied to all available pressure ports. Also known as ‘null’ or ‘zero’.
(See Figure 1.)
Offset Error – The maximum deviation in measured Offset at Refer-
ence Temperature relative to the ideal (or target) Offset as deter-
mined from the Ideal Transfer Function. See also Thermal Effect on
Offset.
Operating Pressure Range – The pressure range (or ranges) over
which the product will produce an output proportional to pressure
within the specified performance limits. (See Figure 1.)
Operating Temperature Range – The temperature range over
which the product will produce an output proportional to pressure
but may not remain within the specified performance limits.
Output Resolution – The smallest difference between output signal
readings which can be meaningfully distinguished or resolved.
Overpressure – The Absolute Maximum Rating for pressure which
may safely be applied to the product for it to remain in specifica-
tion once pressure is returned to the Operating Pressure Range.
Exposure to higher pressures may cause permanent damage to
the product. Unless otherwise specified, this applies to all available
pressure ports at any temperature within the Operating Temperature
Range. Also known as ‘Proof Pressure’.
Pressure Hysteresis – The maximum difference between output
readings when the same pressure is applied consecutively, under
the same operating conditions, with pressure approaching from op-
posite directions within the specified Operating Pressure Range.
Pressure Non-Linearity – The maximum deviation of product
output from a straight line fitted to the output measured over the
specified Operating Pressure Range. Standard methods of straight
line fit specified for this calculation are either BFSL or TSL.
Span Error – The maximum deviation in measured Full Scale Span
at Reference Temperature relative to the ideal (or target) Full Scale
Span as determined from the Ideal Transfer Function. See also
Thermal Effect on Span.
Thermal Effect on Offset – The maximum deviation in Offset due
to changes in temperature over the Compensated Temperature
Range, relative to Offset measured at Reference Temperature.
Thermal Effect on Span – The maximum deviation in Full Scale
Span due to changes in temperature over the Compensated Tem-
perature Range, relative to Full Scale Span measured at Reference
Temperature.

WPS Series
Thermal Hysteresis – The maximum difference between output
readings when the same temperature is reached consecutively,
under the same operating conditions, with temperature approaching
from opposite directions within the specified temperature range.
Total Error Band (TEB) – The maximum deviation in output from
the Ideal Transfer Function over the entire Compensated Tempera-
ture and Pressure Range. Includes all errors due to: Offset, Full
Scale Span, Pressure Non-Linearity, Pressure Hysteresis, Non-
Repeatability, Thermal Effect on Offset, Thermal Effect on Span and
Thermal Hysteresis. (See Figure 3.)

Working Pressure – The maximum pressure that may be applied
to the product in continuous use. This pressure may be outside the
Operating Pressure Range in which case the product may not pro-
vide a valid output until pressure is returned to within the Operating
Pressure Range. Unless otherwise specified this applies to all avail-
able pressure ports at any temperature with the Operating Tempera-
ture Range. Note that the product may be operated continuously at
pressures up to the Working Pressure, as compared with Overpres-
sure which is an Absolute Maximum Rating.
