DESCRIPTION
The RSD-E1 is a handheld, wireless transmitter. Together with the RSD-E-BOX, they are designed to add remote shut-down
capabilities to a stationary anhydrous ammonia (NH
3
) storage tank. In the event of an unintentional product release, the operator
may remotely shut-down the electromagnet or pneumatically actuated valves using the RSD-E1 transmitter.
When the “Emergency Shut-down” button is pressed on the RSD-E1, it sends an encoded 32-bit ID number and commands to
the receiver. Only the receivers that have that transmitter’s ID in its programmed list of transmitters will respond. One RSD-E-
BOX receiver can be easily programmed to respond to up to 15 different RSD-E1 transmitters.
