Model 345WT wireless Modbus/
pulse transceiver is designed to allow systems integrators the
ability to communicate with remote locations while avoiding
the costs associated with running low voltage wiring to multiple
locations in a single or between multiple buildings. To meet these
requirements, the Model 345WT provides the installer with all
the tools necessary to install and configure the hardware and
software with a minimum of time and investment.
Installation Checklist
A Model 345WT system installation has the following compo-
nents:
Required hardware
• TwoormoreModel345WTtransceivers.
