RCI-SER-RF2: RS-232 / RS-485 Serial Interface                          specsheet 
for RCI-XXX-RF2 Series Remotes                         

Features: Allows Serial Controller to Communicate Directly with RCI-XXX-RF2 series Remotes Provides Access to up to 127 Remote RCI's Bi-directional Communication using License-free 900MHz Radio Band Spread-Spectrum Radio technology Provides Reliable Communication Re-Transmission & Error Correction Algorithms ensure accurate Data transmission No Calibration Required Microprocessor Controlled for high Accuracy Power: 120 VAC or 24 VDC High Noise Rejection

    The RCI-SER-RF2 is a serial-to-radio interface. It allows PC's or PLC's to communicate directly with one or more RCI-XXX-RF2's. The standard MODBUS ASCII protocol used in the RCI-XXX-RF2 series allows for easy integration with existing software packages on both PC's and PLC's.

    The host controller connected to the RCI-SER-RF2 controls the communication by sending out queries to each remote unit. The Remote unit then replies with an acknowledgment if the data was received correctly. The license-free spread-spectrum radio technology allows small systems to be set up with very little effort and at a low cost. The technology ensures high communication reliability even in RF-intensive environments.

    All units are sold with a 1/4 wave omnidirectional whip antenna. Other antennas, such as directional Yagi or Patch antennas, are sold separately.

Specifications: Media: 2.4GHz Spread-Spectrum Radio Range: Up to 1500ft indoors with omnidirectional antenna. Or up to 12 miles line-of-sight with directional antenna Protocol: MODBUS ASCII Speed: 9600 BAUD Radio Power Output: 100mW, 1000mW (selectable) Operating Temperature: -4°F to +140°F (-20°C to +60°C) Power: 120 VAC or 24 VDC Enclosure: NEMA4X
