Frequently Asked Questions
How far will the Long Range Handheld system operate?
The system can provide wireless control at distances up to 2 miles. Actual operating range depends on terrain, obstructions, antenna installation, and site conditions.
How many outputs can the receiver control?
This Long Range Wireless Switch System Handheld uses a six-output receiver, allowing the handheld transmitter to independently control multiple equipment functions.
How does the handheld transmitter control an output?
The operator selects the desired receiver output number on the transmitter and presses ON or OFF. The corresponding receiver output changes state to operate the connected control relay.
Can this system be used to control a pump?
Yes. Pump control is a common application. The receiver interfaces with the appropriate pump control circuit rather than directly powering the pump motor.
Can it control equipment other than pumps?
Yes. Applications include valves, conveyors, grain augers, motors, lighting, gates, alarms, and other equipment that can be operated through an appropriate control circuit.
Can the receiver be installed outdoors?
Yes. The system can be configured for outdoor installations using an appropriate enclosure and installation practices for the application.
What if utility power isn’t available at the receiver location?
Optional 12 VDC solar panel kits are available for remote locations where utility power is unavailable.
What information does RCT need to help select the right system?
Tell us what equipment you need to control, the number of control functions required, the approximate operating distance, available power, and any significant terrain or obstructions between locations. RCT can help determine the appropriate configuration.
