InstallingtheRTU
In general, the typical “line-of sight” distance the RTU can
communicate is 10km (6 miles). This is valid if both the RTU and its
partner device are mounted on a 3 m mast (9ft.); the results may
vary under different conditions, and you can sometimes achieve
greater distances.
As with all wireless communication devices, the higher the transmitter
is installed, the bette
r the communication will be.
All A75x devices accept the standard Adcon sensors (A751 excluded).
FieldInstallation
Installing a preset A753 in the field is a fairly simple process. By
performing a connectivity check using an LED tool (not included in the
delivery of a A753, but available from Adcon), you will be able to
prove connectivity to your current radio network.
