HCS-4100MT Series Wireless Voting System Operation Instructions

HCS-4100MTB is the control main unit of the fully digital wireless voting system, each main unit can control as many as 32 RF transceivers HCS-4391. The system can be expanded to support up to 10000 wireless voting units. HCS-4391 RF transceiver communicates with wireless voting unit HCS-4390/4395 for wireless data transmission within the radiation coverage. Not only can this system work alone as a wireless voting system, it can also carry out more functions in combination with the PC. The system is widely used in government offices, hotels, convention centres, especially suitable for those conference venues where it is hard to route clusters of cables here and there.

System Features

Excellent immunity to interference the status of frequency points in the available frequency band can be checked online, whether they are occupied or interfered, even whether a certain area is a signal blind area can be detected. Depending on the status, the working frequency points of HCS-4391, its optimum installing location and the number of it can be set. At most there are 24 frequency points available. Frequency range: 430.0MHz-434.6MHz

High security, confidentiality and accuracy: in the process of data transmission, multilevel error correction and encrypted coding are performed to prevent the clandestine interception.. An exclusive and unique ID number is assigned to each voting unit before they go out of the factory. Before the meeting, the voting unit should be authenticated, or it is invalid for the meeting. This ensures the accuracy of the voting results, in the meanwhile, intentional cheating and mis operation by unauthorized personnel will be stopped effectively.
