BANDIT III Hardware Description

1

st

of 3 QuickStart Guides for the BANDIT III

his chapter provides information on the hardware for the BANDIT III™. The BANDIT III 
is a high-end model in the BANDIT™ products, optimized for utility applications and 
protocols. 

The BANDIT III complies with the European Union's directive on restriction of hazardous 
substances (ROHS). This directive places strict controls on pollutants, including the elimination 
of lead in the manufacturing process. 

The BANDIT III is available in a commercial chassis, with a standard hard plastic cover, or an 
environmentally hardened chassis, with a metal cover. Hardened construction allows the 
BANDIT III to operate over wide temperature ranges at remote sites that do not use 
environmental control. 

The BANDIT III, like all products in the BANDIT family, uses the ELIOS™ operating system. 

In addition to its support of virtual private networks (VPNs) and its support of legacy protocols, 
the BANDIT III can handle all variants of the Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) 
protocol, both bit- and byte-oriented, with strong encryption of all traffic and complete remote 
management capabilities after a simple plug-and-play installation.
