1.0 GENERAL INFORMATION
This document describes applications for the AutoWAVE hand-held
radio when used with Thermo Scientific AutoPILOT, AutoMATE
or SuperFlo II Flow Computers.
The AutoWAVE hand-held radio uses spread spectrum technology
which allows a high bit rate (1200 baud to 115.2 kilobaud) while
maintaining low bit error rates. The radios operate in the 902-928
MHZ frequency band which does not require Federal Communications
Commission (USA) licensing.
Features of the AutoWAVE hand-held radios include:
*
1,005 frequencies over 902-928 MHZ, with 15
selectable hop patterns.
*
Compact size (4” wide x 1.75” deep x 6.3” high
without antenna) and low weight. Compact enclosure
contains radio/ modem and power supply (including
batteries).
*
Standard RS-232 asynchronous interface operates at up
to 115.2 Kbps.
*
All configuration options by programming radio using a personal computer or ASCII
terminal.
*
Same radio hardware used for master or remote radio.
*
Low power consumption:
650 ma at 12V for 1W.
600 ma at 8.5V for 400 mW.
5 mA sleep mode current.
*
Operates on standard AA batteries (4) or external 5-15 Vdc..
