RF401-series and RF430-series Spread Spectrum Radio/Modems
1.1 RF401-series Radios
The RF401-series radios have a CS I/O port and an RS-232 port (see FIGURE
1-1). These radios can serve as a field modem/radio while connected to the
datalogger or as a base station modem/radio when connected to a PC’s RS-232
port. The following models are available:
• RF401 915 MHz Spread Spectrum Radio—transmits data to another
RF401 radio, an RF430 radio, a CR206(X) datalogger, or an AVW206
interface. The 915 MHz frequency is used in the US/Canada.
• RF411 922 MHz Spread Spectrum Radio—transmits data to another
RF411 radio, an RF431 radio, a CR211(X) datalogger, or an AVW211
interface. The 922 MHz frequency is used in Australia/Israel.
• RF416 2.4 GHz Spread Spectrum Radio—transmits data to another RF416
radio, an RF432 radio, a CR216(X) datalogger, or an AVW216 interface.
The RF416 is intended mainly for certain European and Asian markets.
FIGURE 1-1. The RF401 is one of the models available of our RF401-
series radios.
Unless specified otherwise, throughout this manual RF401 refers
to the RF401, RF411, and RF416 radios.
1.2 RF430-series Radios
The RF430-series radios have a USB port and an RS-232 port (see FIGURE
1-2). The RF430 can only be configured through the USB port. Usually, these
radios connect to a PC’s USB port to serve as base station modems/radios. The
RF430-series radios may also connect to the datalogger’s RS-232 port to serve
as a field modem (requires a null modem cable and a field power cable). The
following models are available:
