Overview and
General Concepts

The INNCOM PC-502 wall mounted module can be used to expand the range
of an RF network or to provide the protocol gateway from INNCOM S5bus to RF
protocol.

The PC-502 can be combined with the B485 (01-9489) to provide RS485 to
Deep Mesh RF protocol conversion. This application is ideal for INNCOM
Central Electronic Lock System (CELS) integrations and for applications where
signal conversion between an RS485 and RF networks are required for
backhauling guestroom data towards the network backbone.

In an in-room RF network, the PC502 provides S5bus to RF protocol
conversion, giving any INNCOM product participating in the INNCOM Integrated
Room Automation System (IRAS) an RF transceiver for control of wireless
products in the guestroom.

In the Deep Mesh 802.15.4 network, the PC-502 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.

Ranges are determined by performing an RF link quality test using e528
thermostats as the transmitter and the PC-502 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.

In an in-room application (Appendix 1, Figure 4), the PC-502.1 is providing

S5bus to RF protocol conversion, giving any INNCOM product participating in
the INNCOM Integrated Room Automation System (IRAS) an RF transceiver
for control of wireless products in the guestroom.

The PC-502 can function as a gateway in an RS485 network as well. Figure 5

in Appendix 1 shows a typical RS485 application.

The PC-502, in participation with the e528, may also provide the in-room to

Deep Mesh RF bridge where both wireless in-room and wireless backend
networking are required. The PC-502 can also patch areas within the Deep
