505U-2 Wireless I/O
One-way, low-power transmitter
Description
The ELPRO 505U-2 Wireless I/O is a small I/O transmitter that
extends long-range, license-free communications to sensors in
local, remote, or difficult-to-reach locations. Designed for low power
consumption and easy attachment of ELPRO BU-5 battery packs, the
ELPRO 505U-2 provides reliable continuity for industrial applications
with power constraints.
Capable of transferring analog, pulse, or discrete inputs, and
powering a loop-powered analog device (12 Vdc, 50 mA), the
transmitter is highly reliable and simple to deploy.
Features
•
405–490 MHz frequency, up to 500 mW RF Power
•
Link process inputs to single or multiple outputs (peer-to-peer)
•
Multiple power supply options including battery-only
supply with ultra-low power consumption (reverts to sleep mode)
•
Input-only transmitter unit (2 DI/PI, 1 AI), connects to multi I/O
and/or gateway units
•
Peer-to-peer communications with exception reporting and
reliable self-checking via update time
•
External inputs plus internally calculated values, including analog
set point status, pulse rate and pulse total, power/battery supply
voltage, and power supply alarm
•
Configurable repeat transmissions to five times for message
reliability
Applications
•
High-level alarms
•
Security gate control
•
Emergency shower notification
•
Flow meter monitoring
•
Storage tank monitoring
•
Pipeline cathodic protection
•
Pump stop-start
•
Lighting bank control
•
