Notice: These devices must be wired in accordance with Class I, Div. 2 wiring methods
as described in the National Electric Code, Article 501-4(b) or the authority having
jurisdiction. Transmitter unit is to be used with a purely resistive antenna when installed in
Class I, Div. 2 areas.
NSPING
1
The RAD-ISM-900-SET-UD-ANT is a Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum radio
designed for the professional installation and integration with other products.
When installed with an approved antenna and cable, the system integrator needs
to make sure that the unit’s FCC label, or a copy of the FCC label, is clearly visible
on the outside of the integrated product. The RAD-ISM-900-SET-UD-ANT is
approved within the 902 to 928 MHz ISM Band under Part 15 of the FCC Rules
and Regulations.
Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum technology was originally developed by
the U.S. military to prevent interference or interception of radio transmissions
on the battlefi eld. Frequency hopping devices concentrate their full power into
a very narrow signal and randomly hop from one frequency to another within a
designated frequency band. If they encounter interference on a particular frequency,
the devices error-check the affected data, hop to another point on the spectrum,
and resume communications on subsequent hops. Since there are always spaces
without interference somewhere in the allotted radio spectrum, a frequency
hopping device will use those spaces to complete a transmission.
WARNING: EXPLOSION HAZARD
Do not disconnect equipment unless power has been switched off or the
area is known to be non-hazardous.
FCC Rules and Compliance
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that
may cause undesired operation.
Changes or modifi cations not expressly approved by Phoenix Contact Inc. will void
the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
This product is intended for fi xed installation applications. In order to comply
with FCC/ISC-adopted RF exposure requirements, installation of this transmitter
system’s antenna must be performed in a manner that will provide at least a sixfoot (2m) clearance from the front radiating aperture to any user or member of
the public.

RAD-ISM-900-UD Transmitter
4-20mA Current Loop with 2-Wire Device
Note: Incorrect antenna placement and positioning can have a signifi cant impact
on the performance of the RAD-ISM-900-SET-UD-ANT. Keep the Omni antenna
vertical and mounted as high as possible. Extra cable may be required to achieve
Line-of-Sight (LOS) between the Transmitter and the Receiver.
For applications that require the antenna to be mounted away from the Transmitter,
please contact your distributor for cable and antenna options. Always follow the
mounting instructions and proper grounding procedures as outlined in the antenna
manuals.

RAD-ISM-900-UD Receiver Block Diagram
Receiver Indicator LEDs
RF LED - Flashes once every two seconds when transmitter is OFF or out
of range.
- Flashes rapidly when signal strength is marginal.
- Solid green when a secure link is established.
LEDs 1 & 2 - Show status of discrete inputs 1 & 2. Solid green = ON.
RF Link: Internal dry contact Form C relay. May be wired as Normally Open (NO)
or Normally Closed (NC). This relay is activated when a good Radio (RF) Link is
established between the Receiver and its matched Transmitter and Receiver. This
discrete output defaults to the normal position as shown in the Receiver Block
Diagram.
Discrete Outputs 1 & 2: Internal dry contact Form C relays. May be wired as NO
or NC. These relays are activated when voltage is applied to Discrete Inputs 1 &
2 at the Transmitter. DEFAULT STATE: When Link is lost between the Transmitter
and Receiver, these discrete outputs MAINTAIN LAST STATE.
Analog Output: The 4-20mA Current Output replicates the status of the 4-20mA
Current Input at the Transmitter. DEFAULT STATE: When Link is lost between
Transmitter and Receiver, the analog output MAINTAINS LAST STATE.

Note: The RAD-ISM-900-UD Receiver Analog Output is a 3-wire device and should be
wired to the RTU/PLC just as you would a normal 3-wire current loop device. This wiring
confi guration is for the Receiver only and must be followed regardless of the type of
current loop device on the Transmitter side of the loop (i.e., 2-wire, 3-wire, or 4-wire).
Example A
RF Link contact is wired to a warning light using the (NC) contact. As soon as the
RF Link has been established, this contact will go to Open and the warning light will
go out.
The 4-20mA Analog output has been wired directly to a meter or RTU/PLC device
and will MAINTAIN LAST STATE if the RF Link is lost.
Discrete Output 1 has been wired through the (NO) contact. When voltage is
applied to the Discrete Input 1 side of the Transmitter, this contact will go Closed,
and the pump will start.
Example B
RF Link contact is wired to a warning light using the (NC) contact. As soon as the
RF Link has been established, this contact will go to Open and the warning light will
go out.
The 4-20mA Analog output has been wired directly to a meter or RTU/PLC device
and will MAINTAIN LAST STATE if the RF Link is lost.
An interesting feature in this example is wiring of the pump. Discrete Output 1 has
been wired through the (NO) contact, and through the RF Link (NO) contact. This
immediately shuts off the pump if the RF Link is lost. By wiring through the RF Link
contact this way, the RF Link contact will go Open when the RF Link is lost, and
the pump will shut down. This overrides the default for Discrete Output 1, which
MAINTAINS LAST STATE.
Default OFF Wiring
If either one or both of the Discrete Outputs and/or the Analog (4-20mA) are
required to default OFF upon loss of the RF Link with the Transmitter, the RF Link
Output can be used to provide a Default OFF state.
Discrete Wiring
By wiring the Discrete Output(s) in series through the (NO) contact of the RF
Link, the LAST STATE of the Discrete Output(s) will be overridden and forced to
go Open.
Note: Current rating of RF Link contact is 0.5A max.
9
Analog (4-20mA) Wiring
Likewise, if the Analog signal is required to drop to zero (0 current) when RF Link
is lost, it can be wired in series to the RF Link Output in this fashion.
Note: Either the discrete Outputs or the Analog can be wired through the RF Link
contacts but not both.
Maximum OFF voltage for the discrete input is 60VAC. Use of a 2Watt 10k ohm
resistor at 110VAC in parallel across the input will help ensure minimum and
maximum ON and OFF states.
Adding an Extra or Spare Receiver to Your System
1) Remove the HopKey from the existing Receiver by the divots on either side
of the enclosure and remove the circuit board (refer to the photographs
below). Remove the HopKey and re-insert the circuit board into its
enclosure. When re-inserting, line up the terminal labels on the side of the
enclosure with the terminal labels on the top of the circuit board to prevent
it being installed backward.
2) Remove the spare Receiver from its enclosure.
3) Insert the HopKey from the original Receiver into the spare Receiver. Reinsert the circuit board into the enclosure.
Once power is applied to the spare Receiver, it will memorize the identifi cation,
hop frequencies and hop sequence of the Transmitter. This takes a few seconds
upon power up. If power is removed, it will retain this information, even if the
HopKey is removed. Now your spare Receiver, along with the original Receiver, will
respond to signals from the Transmitter. Ensure you are using an Omni-directional
antenna at the Transmitter if the Receivers are off in different directions, since Yagidirectional antennas only send radio signals in one direction.
