Keri’s KWX Wireless Transceivers allow you to easily create a wireless communication network
between PXL controllers in an RS-485 network. Just as in wired controller networks, the KWX works
on systems as simple as two or three doors, all the way up to 256 door systems, and in distances of up
to a mile between controllers when using long-range antennas.
KWX Wireless Transceivers operate in
a frequency hopping mode in the 915
MHz ISM band. Standard units have a
nominal range of 300 feet. Three
antenna options are available,
extending the range of the wireless
units.
Controller networks can use a
combination of KWX units and RS-
485 2-conductor, shielded, twisted-pair
cabling, allowing you to mix and
match wired and wireless connections
to create the fastest and most
economical Keri Access Control
installation. The KWX connection to
the controller uses the same type of
cabling as in standard wired
connections.
Keri’s KWX Wireless Transceivers are
compatible with PXL-500/510, PXL-
250, and Entraguard controllers,
allowing these transceivers to be added
to existing networks as well as be used
in new installations.
