INNCOMȱPCȬ502.2ȱDatasheetȱ

0-40℃,0-95%RH

Overviewȱ

The INNCOM PC-502.2 wall mounted module can be used to expand the
range of a Layer-2 RF network or provide the protocol gateway from
INNCOM S5-bus to Layer-2 RF protocol.

In the Layer-2.2 802.15.4 Zigbee 2006 mesh network, the PC-502.2 is
designed to patch areas within the network where signal strength is lost
due to distance limitations or interference. It also serves to create multiple
pathways, increasing the redundancy of the mesh communications to
ensure maximum network reliability.

x 2.4Ghz IEEE 802.15.4 compliant RF transceiver (CC2430 radio

core)

x Medium and long range variants available
x Industrial temperature ratings 0-65 degrees C

Ranges are determined by performing an RF link quality test using e528.3G thermostats as the
transmitter and the PC-502.2 as the receiver. The maximum distance threshold is based on a 95%
overall link quality. Outdoor ranges were conducted in a low noise, free air environment. Indoor
ranges are for reference. Indoor ranges are affected by the ambient environmental noise floor and
building construction materials.

NetworkȱTopologyȱ

Figure 2 PC-502 Layer-2 Topology

In this application, the PC-502.2 in participation with the e529.RF provides the Layer-1 to Layer-2
RF Bridge where both wireless in-room and wireless back-end networking are required. The PC-

502.2 can also patch areas within the Layer-2 network where signal strength is lost due to distance
limitations or interference.
