Key Features:
  • Configurable RF power (0.5 to 5 Watts) and frequency over licensed radio bands.
  • Digital radio communications readiness.
  • Store and forward repeater functionality with multiple hop capability.
  • Hot redundant standby for repeaters, pre-processors, and RTUs.
  • Data logging with time and date stamps.
  • User programmable control logic and software-configured quiet base (CTCSS).
  • Remote monitoring of radio signal strength, antenna SWR status, and internal temperature.
  • Versatile I/O expansion options and compatibility with Modbus controllers and I/O devices.
  • Compact design for easy DIN rail mounting.
Specifications:
  • General: Operates on 10 to 30 VDC with an internal battery charger for a 12V sealed lead acid battery. It includes power supply over-voltage and short circuit protection, and operates in temperatures from -30° to 70°C with up to 99% non-condensing humidity.
  • Radio Transceiver: Frequency range of 380 to 512 MHz, receiver sensitivity of -118 dB @ 12 dB SINAD, and RF power output adjustable from 0.5 to 5 Watts. Includes internal gas discharge suppressor for lightning protection.
  • Compliance: Meets standards in Australia (C-Tick, AS4768.1, AS4295), USA (FCC Part 15, Part 90), Canada (RSS-119), and Europe (CE, EN300-113-2, EN300-086-2).
  • Housing: Made of ABS plastic (UL 94V-0), dimensions are W 42mm, H 145mm, D 130mm, and weighs 400 grams. Designed for DIN rail mounting.
  • Interface: RS232 configuration port at 9600 baud, host devices configurable from 1200 to 115200 baud, and RS485 for I/O expansion.
  • Connectors: Includes removable screw connectors for power, SMA Female for radio port, RJ45 for configuration port, DB9 for host port, and 2-wire screw terminal RS485 for expansion.
  • Digital I/O: Output of 500mA / 30 VDC max open collector transistor and voltage-free contact closure input.
  • Data Logging: 128k Byte logging memory for I/O module data and user-configurable alarm messages.
  • Local Control: Programmable logic with C programming and access to logging functions.
  • I/O Expansion: Supports up to 32 I/O modules via RS485, compatible with third-party Modbus devices or ELPRO I/O.
  • Solar Power Input: Features an onboard solar regulator, recommended solar panel up to 40W, 15-30V (3A max).
