3 General Information
The RAELink3 is a compact, portable radio-frequency modem that
provides long-range wireless communication between remote
portable gas monitors (PGMs) such as RAE Systems’ ppbRAE 3000,
MultiRAE Plus, etc., and a base station/computer for comprehensive
monitoring. Up to 64 monitors equipped with RAELink3 units can be
networked with a single Host. In addition, for applications requiring
long-distance monitoring or monitoring in locations with obstructions
to clear line-of-sight communication, RAELink3s configured as
Repeaters extend the effective reach of the system.
3.1 Configuration Options
The RAELink3 can be configured to act in one of the following three
modes:
1. Remote. The RAELink3 Remote functions as a slave modem and
communicates to a host modem with the same network ID.
2. Remote G. The RAELink3 Z1 Remote G functions as a slave
modem to communicate readings from a GammaRAEII R personal
radiation detector to a host modem with the same network ID.
