Benefits and Features

USB port for connecting to a computer; RS-232 port for connecting to a data logger

Rugged, low-cost transceivers

Can be used in the field as a transceiveror in the office as the base station

Transmits up to one mile with omnidirectional antenna; up to 10 miles with higher gain directional antennas at ideal conditions

Settings stored in non-volatile memory

Designed for use in PakBus networks

Frequency-hops over 25 channels avoids interference from other spread spectrum radios

Optional extended temperature testing

Faster communication due to elimination of some small link state packets

Ability to have stand-alone RF router/repeaters (up to 8 repeaters)

Greater immunity to interference and RF collisions by using RF retries

Reduced power consumption by the data logger, as the radios perform packet address filtering

Built-in setup menus allow access to advanced functionality

Technical Description

The RF432 reduces susceptibilityto RF interference from other spread spectrum devices by providing user-selectable frequency hopping patterns. Spread spectrum radios spread the normally narrowband information signal over a relatively wide band of frequencies. This process allows communicationst o be more immune to noise and interference from RF sources such as pagers and cellular phones.
