The RF430, RF431, and RF432 radio modems are functionally the same as the RF401, RF411, and RF416 models, except for a change to their ports. The RF430-series radios have a USB port instead of the CS I/O port that the RF401-series radios have. The USB port makes it easier to connect to newer computers, and the RS-232 port still allows them to be connected to our current dataloggers. Networks can include a mix of the RF430-series and RF401-series radios.
The RF432 spread-spectrum transceiver has an operating frequency range of 2.45 to 2.46 GHz, which is used in many countries worldwide. The RF432 is a compact, rugged, low-cost transceiver intended for use in a variety of applications.
The transceiver transmits at a power level of 60 mW and frequency-hops among 25 channels to avoid interference with other devices. This improves performance in environments where RF noise, pagers, and cellular phones could potentially reduce communication between devices. The RF432 may be used without an individual FCC license.
