Overview
The ADIO Wireless Bridge is configurable Analog or Digital input and output wireless transmission
device. It is designed measure and replicate Analog or Digital I/O signals and wirelessly transmit those
signals to a second ADIO Wireless Bridge device. Alternatively, it can be used in conjunction with the RS232, RS-485 or USB Wireless Bridges to measure and transmit data back to a serial host device. In this
mode it can act as a medium to be a wireless data logger.
The ADIO Wireless Bridge has a five pin screw terminal block for the four channels and a micro USB port
for radio and device configuration specific to the ADIO Wireless Bridge. Data is also available on the
micro USB port. By default, the ADIO Wireless Bridge is configured to measure up to four 0-10V Analog
inputs. Inputs can also be configured for Digital inputs (3.3V and 5V tolerant) or for 4-20mA inputs. The
four channels can also be configured as 0-10V Analog outputs or as Digital signal outputs.

Operation
Standard Operation
The ADIO Wireless Bridge is intended to measure Analog or Digital Input data lines and wirelessly
transmit those signal levels to a second ADIO Wireless Bridge to output the measured signal levels. By
default, any data sent into one device is broadcast and received by all other Wireless Bridge devices
within range. The ADIO uses channel tokens to control which devices respond to the data. Additional
addressing can be used to isolate communication between specific devices or to create unique
networks.
The Wireless Bridge device is equipped with a micro USB connector. When the micro USB connector is
plugged into a USB host device such as a computer, the Wireless Bridge enumerates as two standard
serial COM ports. One port is a data port and can send and receive data. The second COM port is the
device’s information port.
The Wireless Bridge uses standard composite device drivers are preinstalled in Windows 10 and MAC
computers. Drivers will need to be installed for Windows 7 machines. While not every machine will
