Specifications
Ranges are determined by performing an RF link quality test using e528
thermostats as the transmitter and the PC-502 as the receiver. The maximum
distance threshold is based on a 95% overall link quality. Outdoor ranges were
conducted in a low noise, free air environment. Indoor ranges are for
reference. Indoor ranges are affected by the ambient environmental noise floor
and building construction materials.
Network Typology
In an in-room application
(Appendix 1, Figure 4),
the PC-502.1 is providing
S5bus to RF protocol conversion, giving any INNCOM product participating in
the INNCOM Integrated Room Automation System (IRAS) an RF transceiver
for control of wireless products in the guestroom.
The PC-502 can function as a gateway in an RS485 network as well
. Figure 5
in Appendix 1
shows a typical RS485 application.
The PC-502, in participation with the e528, may also provide the in-room to
Deep Mesh RF bridge where both wireless in-room and wireless backend
networking are required. The PC-502 can also patch areas within the Deep
