Two-Way RF Transceiver Module:
CWD1016
Introduction
Functions and Features
The CWD1016 (hereafter referred to as “module”) is a two-way radio frequency
(RF) module that utilizes the 2.4 GHz frequency band to communicate with other
devices.
The module operates according to the IEEE 802.15.4 specification and can be
configured to minimize the possibility of interference with other devices.
The module receives RF signals from one or more Crestron INET devices and can
transmit these signals over the air or over a cable run for further processing
(depending on the application).
Functional Summary
The transceiver produces a 100 milliwatt signal that can travel up to approximately
150 feet indoors. The range is dependent on the construction of the building,
obstructions, and RF interference from other devices. Adding more modules will
increase the range of transmission. The location of the module and the orientation of
its antenna are also important factors in determining RF performance.
