INTRODUCTION 

 

Easy to install, up to 22.5 km (14 mi) range. No wires, no 

cables. Zlinx™ radio modems get your data moving 

farther, easier and at less cost than running cable. Plug-

n-play, Modbus compatible, signal strength indicator, 
space saving DIN rail mounting. Heavy-duty, wide 

temperature design handles most industrial power 
configurations and tough indoor/outdoor environments.
