Overview
The BAPI Wireless Temperature Transmitter measures the outdoor temperature and transmits the data through 418MHz
RF to a receiver. The transmitter is mounted in a BAPI-Box™ style enclosure and has a usable range of 100 feet.
The transmit rate is approximately once every 10 seconds with an estimated battery life of 5 to 8 years using two high-
capacity 3.6V lithium batteries. Each transmitter has a unique address with built in error detection. Each variable sent by
the transmitter is picked up by the receiver and converted by a BAPI Analog Output Module to a voltage, current or
resistance signal which is sent to the controller. A point manager may be used to collect the temperature data for large
systems.

Tools and Materials
Screwdriver, Drill
Mounting
First train the modules as shown on the next page.
Mount the unit to its mounting surface with four #10
screws through the holes in the mounting feet. #10
sheet metal screws require 5/32" (4mm) pilot holes.
For
concrete or cinder block, drill four 5/32" (4mm)
holes, 1-3/4 inch (45mm) deep
. Make sure that all
screws are started in their holes before tightening.
Tighten evenly. Only squeeze the foam gasket to
about 1/2 of its original thickness.
BAPI recommends
BA/Screw-Pan-1.5x10-SS-100
and
BA/Anchor-10-100
for drywall and
BA/Screw-Hex-Concrete-1.5x10-SS-100
for
concrete.
