Short Range Wireless Control FAQs
How far can the Short Range 154 MHz system communicate?
The Short Range 154 MHz system provides wireless communication up to approximately ½ mile. Actual range can vary depending on terrain, buildings, antenna placement, and other site conditions.
Does the Short Range system require line of sight?
No. The 154 MHz system does not require perfect line of sight between the transmitter and receiver. However, terrain, buildings, trees, and other obstructions can affect wireless performance and range.
What types of equipment can the Short Range system control?
The system can be used with pumps, motors, lights, valves, conveyors, grain augers, alarms, and many other types of equipment. The receiver relay output typically interfaces with the appropriate equipment control circuit.
Can the Short Range system replace damaged underground control wire?
Yes. This is one of its common applications. Wireless control can eliminate the need to locate, repair, or replace damaged underground control wire when installing new wire or conduit would be difficult or costly.
What activates the wireless transmitter?
The transmitter is activated by applying 12 VDC to its input. It then sends a coded wireless signal to the receiver, which activates the receiver relay output.
What if I’m not sure whether the Short Range system will work for my application?
Contact RCT with the equipment you need to control, the approximate distance between locations, and any significant terrain or obstructions. We can help determine whether the Short Range 154 MHz system is appropriate or whether another RCT system would be a better fit.
