www.qtech.co.nz Tel: 03 3663713
Introduction
The QTech Multi Point Controller is a powerful controller for communicating with up
to eight WP2P (wireless point to point) modules over a range of several kilometres.
It has a sophisticated mapping grid that allows any of the inputs and outputs to be
mapped to any module in the system.
The Multi Point Controller forms the communication hub of a star topology network,
which allows WP2P modules to communicate with each other with communications
being routed via the Controller.
The flexibility of the I/O mapping technique provides a “one to one”, “one to many” or
“many to one” relationship between the I/O.
Setup and configuration of the Multi Point Controller is via “Workbench”, a user
friendly PC application for Microsoft Windows 7/XP/Vista. Setup can be performed
“offline” allowing you to pre-configure Controllers. These configurations can then be
saved and printed for future use.
Each Multi Point Controller (P/N PD8620) is supplied with the following:
Qty 1x Multi Point Controller Module
Qty 1x Aerial (stub type), 2dBi gain (P/N PD9230)
Qty 1x USB (Type A-B) Programming Cable 1m (P/N CB-USB-AB)
Qty 1x CD-ROM containing Workbench configuration software
Aerial Connection
Carefully connect the aerial. Do not operate the Controller or any WP2P modules
without an aerial connected. Optional aerials are available for external mounting and
additional range.
Approximate range of each aerial:
Supplied Stub aerial
P/N PD9230 ~350m
Optional Whip aerial P/N PD9218 ~1km
Optional Yagi aerial P/N PD9225 ~2km
Range is very dependent on the installation and local factors, these figures are
indicative only.
