This radio modem is for PakBus networks with UHF/VHF radios. The versatile RF500M can serve as a field modem connected to a PakBus datalogger, as a standalone repeater not connected to a datalogger, or as a base-station modem connected to a computer. It works with our RF310-series radios, our RF300-series radios, or any radio and modem combination that outputs a demodulated byte stream via RS-232. The RF500M uses software (i.e., DevConfig) instead of hardware modifications to upgrade the operating system (OS) and change RF ID or other settings.
Features
Supports multiple radio configurations
Compatible with PakBus dataloggers (e.g., CR800, CR850, CR1000, CR3000, CR10X-PB, CR510-PB, CR23X-PB)
Uses software (i.e., DevConfig) instead of hardware modifications to upgrade the operating system (OS) and change RF ID or other settings
Provides an RS-232 port (DTE) for modem configuration or attachment of an RS-232 radio
Avoids all collisions within a network, thus increasing polling speeds and reducing overall current drain
