RF‐PS‐500 SSK routers are used in conjunction with the Sontay® RF‐RXSS receiver, RF‐TS‐900 nodes and RF‐
HHT hand heldmonitor,and are used toroute signalsfrombatterypowered nodesand  other routers to the
receivermodule,wherethesignalstrengthofadirectpath
isnotsufficientforreliablecommunications.

NB Each router can support a maximum of 16 “children”, which can consist of a maximum of 8 battery
powered nodes and 8 routers, or up to 16 routers if there are no battery powered end devices (EDs).
