Overview

The RF410 was a 100 mW spread spectrum radio/modem for point-to-point and point-to-multipoint data logger communications. It could serve as a field radio/modem connected to a data logger or as a base station radio/modem connected to a computer. The RF410 had an operating frequency range of 920 to 928 MHz, which was used in Australia/Israel.

Additional Compatibility Information

Communications

The RF410 can transmit data to another RF410 radio or a CR210 datalogger. The RF410 may also be used in a network with RF411 radios and/or CR211(X) dataloggers if all of the RF411 radios and CR211(X) dataloggers are set to the transparent mode.Campbell Scientific does not recommend using the RF411 in networks containing FGR-115 or RF450 radios.

Enclosure Considerations

A desiccated, non-condensing environment is required. The 14162 Mounting Kit includes hardware for securing the RF410 to an enclosure backplate (see Ordering Info).
