The WIB2000 can be configured to act as a Coordinator or Router in the network. A Coordinator is always required because this device functions a base station. If the distance between the CWS and Coordinator becomes too large, extra Routers can be added an installed nearby the location of the sensors. 2 Safety warnings Install the WIB2000 according to the installation instructions in this manual. The WIB2000 is meant to be used for communication with the CWS or other WIB2000s. Use CowManager supplied parts only. Do not modify or alter the WIB2000 in any way. Alteration or modification may affect the safety, performance and/or accuracy. Do not crush or disassemble the WIB2000. To prevent damage, do not soak or immerse the WIB2000 in any liquid solution. For cleaning of the WIB2000 follow the instructions described in chapter 7 Maintenance information. Do not expose the WIB2000 to excessive heat (above 80C or 176F) or cold (below -40C or -40F). 3 Installation instructions Place the supplied antenna on the WIB2000 and connect the USB cable according to Figure 1. USB Cable In case the WIB2000 will be mounted in vertical position the cable tie must be placed. This ensures that the antenna is always in a vertical up position. Antenna Figure 1 Draft 230417 Page 2 of 10 Remark:
The length of the supplied USB cable is 4.5 meter (15 feet) for a Coordinator and 3 meter (10 feet) for a Router. The use of USB extension cords and secondary USB hubs is not allowed!
Important installation notes:
For both the antenna and blue ring of the USB connector it is important to securely tighten them. Dont use pliers but tighten them firmly by hand. To be able to use the WIB2000, it must be activated in your CowManager system first. Details regarding activation of the WIB2000 can be found in the CowManager Instruction Guide. A Coordinator always needs to stay attached to the computer! This device makes sure that the data received by the Sensors and Router(s) in the network will be collected and processed. Also, power for the coordinator is supplied via the USB port of the computer. Make sure that the computer is always switched on, connected with the internet and that the sleep mode is disabled in Windows!
The WIB2000 must be installed indoors. In order to have the best signal coverage the device must be placed around 3.5 meters or 11ft above the ground. At all times we strive for a free line of sight to other devices with the antenna pointing and secured up. Make sure there is a distance of at least 1 meter between the roof and the antenna. The supplied screws or cable ties can be used for mounting the WIB2000. Screws and cable ties supplied with the WIB2000. Example of using cable ties to mount the WIB2000 on a pole. In case of a Router installation, the supplied power adapter must be used as power supply. Make sure that the antenna is always in a vertical up position. In case the WIB2000 is placed in a horizontal position, the cable tie should not be placed. Continued on the next page..

Avoid sharp bending of the USB cable. 4 Serial number and certification marks Serial number Certification marks Figure 2 Every WIB2000 does have a unique serial number. See Figure 2 for the location of it. Remark: The real serial number is longer then the six digits that are present on device. The number starts with 0000F00000 but since that part is generic for all devices this is omitted. Draft 230417 Page 4 of 10 5 Indicator lights on the WIB2000 On the WIB2000, five indicator lights are present to check the status of the device. Depending on the function of the WIB2000 (Coordinator or Router) some indicators have a different function. 5.1 Function of the indicator lights on a Coordinator Lights on the Router Red Blue Green Function On -> Power is present. On -> Registering of Sensors. On -> Active connection with a Router. Orange White On -> Active connection with a PC. Blinking -> Connection is lost. On -> Coordinator activated, but no active connection. Blinking -> Sending data. 5.2 Function of the indicator lights on a Router Lights on the Router Red Blue Function On -> Power is present. Blinking -> Trying to connect to another Router or Coordinator. Fast Blinking -> To much data received, possible data loss. Green Orange White On -> Another Router is connected to this one. On -> Active connection with a Coordinator or other Router. Blinking -> Connected to another Router but not to a Coordinator yet (via that Router). On -> No active connection. Blinking -> Sending data. 6 Troubleshooting Communication can be disturbed because of the following reasons:
1. If the distance between Routers or the Coordinator is too large. The operating distance between the WIB2000 devices could go up to 800 meter or 2600ft, when having a free line of sight. Anything in the free line of sight has impact: walls, roofs, foliage, topography, or bad weather conditions. Metal objects and concrete walls are major obstacles. 2. A strong transmitter that operates in the same frequency band as the WIB2000. For example, Wi-
Fi equipment like Routers, Access Point and Repeaters, but also P2P devices. The WIB2000 communicates using Zigbee channel 11 in the 2,4GHz frequency band and this overlaps with channel 1 of a Wi-Fi network. In case of communication problems check the configuration of Wi-Fi and other network equipment to make sure that this equipment does not use Wi-Fi channel 1. 3. The antenna is not in the vertical up position. See Installation instructions. The WIB2000 has an operating temperature range from -20C (-4F) up to 40C (104F). When the environmental temperature is outside this range the operating distance of the device will decrease, and irreversible damage could occur. In case of malfunction check the indicator lights, power supply and wiring of the device. Draft 230417 Page 5 of 10 7 Maintenance information The WIB2000 is moulded with a waterproof material, as is the blue USB connector on the cable. The device can be placed outside and is rain-proof when the USB cable and antenna are connected correctly. In case cleaning is required:
Always use water without additives, with a maximum temperature of 40C (104F), and a soft brush. The device may not be submerged. Leave the antenna and USB cable connected to avoid water entering the connectors.
- Do not dry the WIB2000 in an oven or microwave, always use a cloth.
Always handle the device with care. 8 Information on disposal of the WIB2000 The WIB2000 is marked with this symbol. It means that electrical and electronic products should not be mixed with general household waste. There is a separate collection system for these products.
