RFC1000
Product Overview
The RFC1000 is a high powered transceiver that has a substantially long transmission
range, providing enhanced performance in occluded environments (ovens, refrigerators,
etc.). The RFC1000 also features an external antenna, allowing more flexibility with
mounting positions in both orientation and proximity to metal walls. The device may be
used as a repeater, or directly plugged into the Windows PC.
Transmission Distance
The RFC1000 transmits to other RFC1000s up to 4000 feet maximum typical outdoors/
line of sight, 1000 feet maximum typical indoors/urban. The RFC1000 transmits to data
loggers up to 2000 feet maximum typical outdoors/line of sight, 500 feet maximum typical
indoors/urban. The RFC1000 can connect to a maximum of 64 data loggers. The RFC1000
transmits on a frequency of 2.405 GHz - 2.475 GHz.
Operating Environment
The RFC1000 is rated for use in an environment with temperatures from -20 °C to 85 °C
and a humidity range of 0 %RH to 95 %RH non-condensing. The RFC1000 is rated IP40
and is protected against solids that are greater than 1mm in size. This device is not water
resistant.
