2.3 AIRWATCH RECEIVER
It is therefore possible to turn off up to 50 machines at once when an alarm occurs.
The optional wireless communication functions at a frequency of 2.4 GHz within a
mesh network.
The mesh network ensures that all devices also function as repeaters and share data.
The maximum line-of-sight transmission distance between devices is 300 metres. If
necessary, repeaters can be placed within this wireless network to further increase
the distances.
There is also the option of bridging larger distances using special directional
antennas. Additionally, there is the option to display all data generated by the
AirWatch centrally on a laptop or PC and to store this data. In case of an alarm, this
will also be visible on the PC.
The network functions at a frequency of 2.4 GHz which has a 300-meter transmission
distance. Distances of up to 500 meterxs can be achieved with special antennas.
2.4 AIRWATCH REPEATER
In order to avoid blocks in the connection due to obstructions (towers, bridges,
pylons etc), repeaters can be placed in the network. In this way you can substantially
increase the size of the network.
The use and number of repeaters is unlimited, and the AirWatch itself functions
as one. The blue LED on the AirWatches and repeaters shows that they are
communicating with the receiver (master) that is connected to the PC.
If AirWatches or repeaters go offline, the system activates an alarm. If they come
back online, the system resets itself.
2.5 BEACON SOUNDER
The AirWatch can optionally be equipped with an Beacon sounder. This can
be desirable in an area with a lot of ambient noise or better visibility. The
built-in sounder gives a signal of at least 107 dB, and the bar has red and
green LEDs that are visible from 360°. In normal measurement mode, the
green LED will be on. In case of an alarm, the red LED will flash and a signal
will sound. The standard AirWatch LED and display signalling will remain
normally visible in
this configuration.
