Wireless Benefits

Since 1982, Remote Control Technology has helped industrial, municipal, and agricultural customers control equipment without the cost and difficulty of running control wire.

Wireless control can simplify installation, reduce maintenance, and provide a practical solution when trenching, conduit, or long control-wire runs are difficult or expensive. RCT systems are designed for dependable operation in real-world applications ranging from pumps and motors to tanks, valves, alarms, and other remotely located equipment.

Key benefits of RCT wireless control include:

Higher Profits

Reduce installation time and labor by eliminating costly trenching, conduit, and long control-wire runs. Wireless control can help contractors complete installations more efficiently while reducing overall project costs.

Cost Savings

Wire, conduit, trenching, and installation labor can add significant cost to a project. Wireless control provides a practical alternative, especially when equipment is separated by roads, buildings, landscaping, or difficult terrain.

Less Theft/Loss

Eliminating long copper control-wire runs can reduce exposure to wire theft and the associated cost and downtime of replacing stolen or damaged wiring.

Fewer Servicing Issues

Wireless control eliminates many of the problems associated with buried or exposed control wiring, including damaged conduit, broken wires, corrosion, and difficult-to-locate wiring faults.

Reliability & Compatibility

RCT wireless control systems are designed for dependable operation in industrial, municipal, agricultural, and commercial applications. Systems can interface with common control equipment including switches, relays, sensors, PLCs, pumps, motors, and other devices.

Extended Range

RCT offers wireless control solutions for applications ranging from nearby equipment to remote locations several miles apart. System range varies by product, antenna configuration, terrain, and site conditions.

No FCC Licensing Required

RCT systems operate in unlicensed radio frequency bands, eliminating the need for the user to obtain an individual FCC radio license for normal operation.

Fewer Installation Restrictions

Wireless control can provide a practical alternative where trenching or running conduit is difficult due to roads, waterways, buildings, property conditions, or other physical obstacles.

Frequently Asked Questions

 

Do I need an FCC license to use RCT wireless equipment?
No. RCT wireless control systems operate in unlicensed radio frequency bands and do not require the user to obtain an individual FCC radio license for normal operation.

How much can wireless control save compared to wired systems?
Savings vary by application, but wireless control can eliminate significant costs associated with trenching, conduit, control wire, installation labor, and future wire maintenance. The savings can be especially substantial when equipment is separated by roads, buildings, waterways, or difficult terrain.

Is wireless remote control equipment as reliable as wired systems?
RCT wireless systems are designed for dependable operation in industrial, municipal, agricultural, and commercial applications. Proper system selection, antenna placement, operating distance, and site conditions are important factors in achieving reliable wireless communication.

Can wireless control reduce the risk of wire theft?
Yes. Eliminating long copper control-wire runs can reduce exposure to wire theft as well as the cost and downtime associated with replacing stolen or damaged wiring.
