2.4GHz Radio Transceiver Product Specications

CRT-2400 / CRT-2400CE*

Overview

The Radio Transceiver (RT) houses a radio (2.4GHz) with corresponding antennas and serves as an access point, enabling RF communications with CrewCom Radio Packs. Using
CrewNet as a backbone, RTs can be positioned throughout a wide coverage area by being connected to a Control Unit either directly or through a Hub(s), or connected in a daisy-chain
conguration.

Key Features

• Supports up to 6 Radio Packs

• CrewNet connections (etherCon or duplex LC Single Mode Fiber) with network
status indicators

• Status indicators for data RX/TX, operation mode, and error

• Easy expandability from one RT to up to seven additional RTs in a daisy chain
via the RT Loop connection (total of eight)

• Micro USB connection for rmware updates

• Integrated Ping function, which uses an LED to physically identify a target
device

• Dual powering options

» Network power (Power over CrewNet)
» External power (48VDC) (sold separately)
