These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. Use of radio frequency energy This device generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. Preventing interference If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: • Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna • Increase the distance between the equipment and the receiver • Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. • Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. 3/6 RF Description This module enables the RTU+ ® V6 to communicate with multiple EpIO’s via radio frequency; The network between the data concentrator and the EpIO’s is self-forming and self-healing, with the data concentrator acting as central master and the EpIO’s acting as slaves. It is self-forming because after installation, each EpIO auto-configures itself and detects if any other possible EpIO’s are in the vicinity, thereby creating a network capable of expanding itself without any manual intervention. Each EpIO sends its consumption data via RF directly or indirectly to the data concentrator. Indirect communication is possible thanks to the dual role of the EpIO: It and can send its own data to the data concentrator but can also act as a repeater for the data of another EpIO simultaneously. Moreover, the network is self-healing due to automatic repair when one device fails (due to disconnection, fire, etc...): a remote EpIO simply detects another EpIO in its vicinity to send its data to. This network communication is very similar to the one used by routers on the Internet, which communicate amongst each other and update their internal routing tables, in order to recalculate a new routing path should a router fail. But contrary to this mesh-networking by routers, EpIO’s can never serve as master, only as slave or as submaster; in which case a single EpIO collects the data from multiple EpIO’s before sending it to the RTU+ ® V6 (the master data concentrator). 4/6 Technical Specifications For the USA (915 MHz): Feature Implementation FREQUENCY RANGE 902 – 928 MHz OUTPUT POWER 50 Ω antenna: -7 to +9 dBm RECEIVER SENSITIVITY -104 to -111 dBm CHANNELS 25 channels (Frequency Hopping) MODULATION FSK DATA RATE < 20 kbs RANGE Outdoor: up to 300 meters (line of sight) Indoor: up to 100 meters For Europe (868 MHz): Feature Implementation FREQUENCY RANGE 868 – 870 MHz OUTPUT POWER 50 Ω antenna : -6 to 8,5dBm RECEIVER SENSITIVITY -105 to -111 dBm CHANNELS 1 channel MODULATION FSK DATA RATE < 15 kbs RANGE Outdoor: up to 300 meters (line of sight) Indoor: up to 100 meters 5/6 Antenna RF modem Antenna Copper Fitting RF Modem Location The RTU+ ® V6 RF modem needs to be installed in the upper left corner of the main board using the pin connector shown below.
