AGRI-ALERT WIRELESS MODULE

Typical Installation
Master Building & Master Wireless Module:
A site must have one master building that gathers information from other buildings.
The master building is the place where the Master Wireless module can be found; this
type of module has a radio transmitter that is specially configured to achieve this
function. The Master Wireless module is normally used in combination with an Agri-
Alert 9600 and uses the SBI 28V of the AA9600 system as power source. Hooking up
these two devices allows optimizing the overall wireless communication between
buildings.
Auxiliary Buildings & Auxiliary Wireless Modules:
An auxiliary building is a place where an Auxiliary Wireless module can be found; this
type of module has a radio transmitter configured to transmit information to the
Master Wireless module. In all, up to 8 modules (1 master & 7 auxiliary modules) can
be installed on a site. Auxiliary modules are self supplied using a transformer and
battery box; they are also used to power the alarm system’s sub-modules: TP-800,
KBP-400, KP-400, LB-9600 and Relay boxes.
House:
No distinction is made between barns and houses. In most cases the house is an
auxiliary building that has a keypad and an Auxiliary Wireless module. However, it
becomes the master building if the AA9600 alarm system and the Wireless module are
directly located in the house.
