Product Notes

MadgeTech has designed an RFC1000-CE with a high powered transceiver that
has a substantially long transmission range, meaning better performance in
occluded environments (ovens, refrigerators, etc.). This RFC1000-CE also includes
an external antenna, allowing more flexibility with mounting positions in both
orientation and proximity to metal walls. This may be used as a repeater, or
directly plugged into the PC.

Transmission Distance

The RFC1000-CE transmits to other RFC1000-CEs up to 2500 feet maximum
typical outdoors/line of sight, 700 feet maximum typical indoors/urban.
The RFC1000-CE transmits to data loggers up to 2000 feet maximum
typical outdoors/line of sight, 500 feet maximum typical indoors/urban. The
RFC1000-CE can connect to a maximum of 64 data loggers. The RFC1000-CE
transmits on a frequency of 2.405 GHz - 2.475GHz.

Operating Environment

The RFC1000-CE is rated for use in an environment with temperatures from

-20 °C to 85 °C and a humidity range of 0 %RH to 95 %RH non-condensing.
The RFC1000-CE is rated IP40 and is protected against solids that are greater
than 1 mm in size. This device is not water resistant.

LEDs

The red LED indicates that the device has power. The green LED will blink when
communicating with other MadgeTech devices.
