Teledyne Detcon 976-000320-00E Model RXT-320 Wireless Transceiver

Description

What is the Teledyne Detcon 976-000320-00E?

The Teledyne Detcon 976-000320-00E is: Model RXT-320 Wireless Transceiver. The Model RXT-320 SmartWireless transceiver transmits signal data from 4-20 mA DC or serial Modbus field devices over a 2.4 GHz wireless network, eliminating point-to-point wiring in industrial detection and alarm systems. Installations range from a single field device talking to a controller up to 32 field device nodes forming a network with a controller, remote display, and audio/visual alarm stations. Network integrity is achieved with direct sequence spread spectrum mesh technology: every device can function as a router and repeater, so signals hop through neighboring devices and route around congestion and line-of-sight obstacles.
