ViaLiteHD
and
ViaLite
Classic
compatibility
1.1
The RF interfaces of most
ViaLiteHD
and
ViaLite
Classic
are compatible. However the physical size, mounting systems and control of the
modules are different, so it will not be possible to fit
ViaLiteHD
module in a
ViaLite
Classic
chassis or housing and vice versa. However it is
possible for chassis of different types to interwork and be used to expand existing systems. Listed below is a brief summary of inter family
compatibility.

It would be possible under some configurations, to extend the RF switches open collector input control interface to another chassis.
This would require the construction of a custom wire loom. Contact
