General Description
ACI’s mesh network Series 2000 MOD9200LON network transceiver utilizes reliable Spread Spectrum Mesh
Network Radio technology. Together with other wireless sensors and controls, the system can be used to
transmit remote sensor readings, status/alarm indications, control signals and outputs wirelessly. It is compatible
with control networks or automation systems that utilize LonWorks® communication protocol or interface. Up
to 50 separate physical wireless sensor transmitters and/or wireless remote output (analog & digital) modules can
be used with one MOD9200LON Transceiver, and up to 100 data points, and 100 wireless outputs can be
monitored and controlled with one (1) MOD9200 Transceiver.
The maximum radio transmission distance is dependent on the building type. The maximum open air
transmission distance is one mile. In a typical commercial building with steel I-Beam construction, concrete
floors with reinforcing rod, and metal stud walls, it can be expected that transmissions will penetrate vertically
through floors and horizontally through 200 to 500 feet of walls, furniture and air.
Generally a wireless system will cover at least three floors – one floor above, and one floor below the receiver
location. In some buildings with favorable transmission characteristics the system may cover more floors.
Wireless sensor transmitters should be installed within 200 to 500 feet of the MOD9200 transceiver.
RR2552 signal repeaters can be installed as needed to increase transmission distance between sensors and
receivers.
