This duplication of functionality means the unit will continue to transmit
data even if a failure occurs in one of the transceivers or power supplies.
This capability is important in many applications where uninterrupted
service is required.
In addition to transmitting error codes to a main station, the Redundant
Transceiver Chassis is equipped with alarm connections on the rear
panel which activate when one of the transceivers reports an alarm con-
dition. These are “dry” alarm contacts that allow the connection of cus-
tomer-supplied alarm equipment such as a lamp or sounding device.
The following WDS transceivers can be used with the Redundant Trans-
ceiver Chassis:
• WDS 4710
• WDS 9710
• WDS 9810
• WDS 24810
When these transceivers are ordered installed in a P20 chassis, the last
two digits of the model number change to 20. For example, when the
WDS 4710 is installed in a P20 chassis, the combination is referred to
as an WDS 4720.
Other WDS transceivers may be compatible with the Redundant Trans-
ceiver Chassis. Contact WDS if you are unsure.
