Handheld Wireless Control FAQs
How far can RCT handheld wireless control systems operate?
Range depends on the system selected and site conditions. RCT offers handheld systems for both short-range and longer-range applications, with actual performance affected by terrain, buildings, obstructions, and antenna placement.
What types of equipment can RCT handheld systems control?
RCT handheld systems can be used to control pumps, motors, lights, gates, alarms, and many other types of equipment. The receiver typically interfaces with the appropriate control circuit rather than directly switching the equipment load.
How many functions can I control from one handheld transmitter?
Depending on the system, RCT handheld transmitters are available in single-function and multi-switch configurations (up to 16 buttons). This allows the system to be matched to simple control applications or more complex equipment with multiple functions.
Do handheld systems require line of sight?
Not always. RCT handheld systems can often operate without perfect line of sight, but buildings, terrain, trees, and other obstructions can affect range and reliability.
Can more than one handheld transmitter be used with a system?
Yes, depending on the application and system configuration. Multiple handheld transmitters can be used in certain applications where more than one operator needs control access.
