Adapter

Pag. 3/12

Radio

Adapter provides a cost-effective, reliable way of building cable-free communication networks between monitoring systems 

and controllers or of extending existing networks.

Radio

Adapter features IEEE 802.15.4 standard functions and runs on ISM frequency band at 2.4GHz.

Thanks to MESH networking technology and associated dynamic routing combined with 

Radio

Adapter capabilities to act as a 

repeater for adjacent nodes, large surface areas can be covered, getting around blocked paths to send or receive messages and 
continuous function guaranteed even when one or more nodes breaks down.

1.1 - REGULATIONS

Radio and telecommunications equipment: Directive 95/05/EC.
The use is permitted in the countries belonging to the European Economic Area (EEA) and where the FCC is recognized (see box).

FCC notes (only for model with internal antenna)

• This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this  
  device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including  
  interference that may cause undesired operation.
• Unauthorized repairs, changes or modifications could result in permanent damage to the equipment and void  
  your warranty and your authority to operate this device under Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
• 

NOTE

: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant  

  to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful  

 

  interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and  
  can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may  
  cause harmful interference to radio communications.
  Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will  
  be required to correct the interference at his own expense.

IC note (only for model with internal antenna)

• This device is compliant to RSS 102
• Cet instrument répond aux normes RSS 102
