Hardware Overview

The Long-Range Controller comes with three indicator LEDs, one reset button, and one test button

Data Outlets

The controller has 8 independent outlets that send information through RS-485 protocol. To do so, each terminal contains A, B, and SCR pins and connectors. Its signal has to be wired individually (point to point) to one Long-Range receiver.

It is recommended to use 1 pair of shielded twisted pair wire of 24 AWG to communicate the Long-Range with the receivers.

Power over Ethernet ( PoE )

The controller is powered through Standard PoE Ethernet 10/100 Mbps port. The device is 802.3af compliant, so it can work with any switch or PoE adapter that matches with the referred standard.

If more than one Long-Range controller is used, it is recommended that the link between the node and the switch that distributes the information to each Long-Range has 100/1000 Mbps (Gigabit) connection speed.

USB Port

A USB Micro port for firmware updates is also available at the rear side of the controller.
