PCD7.T4850-RF (RF modem, RS-485)
The PCD7.T4850-RF RF modem transparently transfers the connected RS-485 interface (Modbus and S-Bus) via
radio. The frequency range of 869 MHz can be used in Europe. The devices can therefore be operated using the
self-declaration with no additional approval required. The modules have an integrated antenna that enables data
to be transferred with no additional hardware required. If an external antenna is required, it can be connected via a
connector on the front plate. The classic hat-shape enables the 35 mm wide housing to fit into an electrical control
cabinet. The device has rotary switches for parameter configuration that allows the speed of RF-data transmission
and radio channel to be selected.
