AbouttheA753addWAVESeries4
The A753 addWAVE Series 4 remote telemetry unit (RTU) is a low-
power telemetry device with four digital
I/O ports, twelve analog inputs, and four counter inputs.
The A753 is a ruggedized RTU, complying with the IP65 ingress
protection class (NEMA 4). Depending on topography, it ensures a
reliable wireless connection to other A73x RTUs or an A840/A850
Telemetry Gateway over a distance of up to 20km (12 miles).
Due to its construction as well as to the software controlling it, the
power consumption is extremely low. The unit operates off an internal
6.2 Volt rechargeable battery, which is charged either by a solar panel
or an external power adapter.
ComplianceStatementandWarnings
The A73x must not be used with an antenna other than the one
supplied by Adcon (or an antenna with identical technical
specifications).
