RT423 User’s Guide & Operating Manual
1. General
The RT423 rugged RF transceivers are intended for use in short
range wireless data transmission for control & monitoring
applications. The RF output power is approx. 250mW.
The RT423 works as a pair. It is a Wireless UHF Data Transceiver
that will transport RS485 (or RS232C with an external adaptor) data
in either direction. The wireless link is Half-Duplex, meaning it can
only transmit or receive at a given time. The default data rate is 9600
Baud, although the user may specifically request other baud rates.
The Transceivers offer the following features:
• A bi-directional data channel with short delay.
• Two Alarms and three Telemetry data inputs – optional (if
ordered).
