3. Introduction
The RCD-1 family of paging data receivers are high performance receiver modules which are ideal for
remote control, one-way telemetry, and wide-area wireless messaging. They feature:
•
1 relay output port, configurable as automatically or command code controlled
•
Uses POCSAG or FLEX digital paging formats, depending upon factory configuration
•
Receives 512, 1200, or 2400 baud POCSAG (applies only to POCSAG Model)
•
Synthesized receiver - No crystals required
•
RS-232 port for data output
•
Compact size
•
Activity and Power LED
•
Receives alpha or numeric messages
•
External antenna
•
Timed or static digital output when relay output is used
•
Positive lock connectors
•
Wall mountable case
•
Directly compatible with Adaptive™ LED message boards
•
Responds to industry standard “7xxx” output control commands when configured for relay
control mode
WaveWare’s RCD-1 paging data receivers allow a user to remotely control electrical devices over very
wide areas, even nation-wide! Because they use industry standard paging protocols, an RCD-1
communication system may be as small or as large as one wishes. A user may utilize their own on-site
transmitter or they may utilize a paging carrier’s wide-area network.
The RCD-1 receivers decode paging signals, and provide an RS-232 output of the received message. If the
RCD-1 is configured for remote control, and a message is formatted in the common “7xxx” output control
format, the digital output relay will respond appropriately. The digital output may be used to control relays,
external loads, or a host of other electro-mechanical devices. A built-in timer allows the outputs to be
turned on for specific amounts of time, after which they are automatically turned off. This is particularly
useful for lighting and pump control.
