RFTX-1 BASE STATION
Introduction
The RFTX-1 is a Narrow Band transmitter for IP or Z Band base stations. It’s
purpose is to transmit standard narrow band RF to URC Lighting controls.
1. The MX-880Z sends Z Band radio
waves in every direction, so you
don’t have to point the remote anymore!
2. The MRZ-260 receives the Z Band
signals of the MX-880Z and outputs the
code patterns to the RFTX-1.
3. The RFTX-1 transmits the code patterns
sent by the MRZ-260 which operates the
lights via 418MHz (required for all URC
lighting with an MRFA designation) or
433MHz Narrow Band (required for all
URC lighting with an MRFB designation).
