The OMEGA®HPWS Series long
range wireless system allows users
to remotely monitor the status of up
to four discrete switches such as
level, flow, or other contact
switches up to 8 miles away.

Ideal applications for the HPWS
include supervising the fluid level in
a tank, operation of a distant pump
from a control station, or monitoring
the status of a pipeline. The HPWS
Series is also useful for controlling
switches in hard to access locations.

One HPWS-REC receiver can
monitor a total of 4 switch
transmissions from 1 to 4 unique
HPWS-TX transmitters.

The included 0.9 m (3') antenna
provides an 8 mile, outdoor
line-of-sight range. In addition, the
elevated barrier strip allows for
easy wiring to user’s switches.

The transmitter’s included backup
battery ensures transmissions will
continue even when there’s a short
power loss at the monitoring
location. The HPWS-REC also
allows for an optional battery
backup, which can provide up to
24 hours of normal use during a
power loss. The 12V SLA battery
is designed to recharge once AC
power is restored.

The HPWS Series transmitters and
receivers employ watertight cable
glands allowing the fiberglass
enclosure to be rated to NEMA 4X
(IP66), ensuring continued
performance when mounted outdoors.
