TLV iT5-ZB-RUN Wireless Repeater for iTrapSensor

TLV iT5-ZB-RUN battery-powered wireless repeater for iTrapSensor monitoring systems. Features IEEE 802.15.4 protocol, 600m range, and intrinsic safety.

TLV iT5-ZB-RUN Wireless Repeater for iTrapSensor

The TLV iT5-ZB-RUN is a battery-powered repeater designed for iTrapSensor wireless monitoring sensors. It relays data between monitoring sensors and access points, extending the communication distance via TLV's original IEEE 802.15.4-based protocol.

Features

  • Utilizes the TLV original, IEEE 802.15.4-based communication network.
  • Suitable for monitoring of many devices: up to 250 sensors can be connected to one repeater.
  • Line-of-sight communication distance of 600 m between repeater and data station or other repeaters.
  • Powered by a long-life battery pack (replaceable in hazardous locations).
  • Intrinsically safe construction for use in hazardous and non-hazardous locations.
  • Optional extended antenna type for remote antenna mounting.

WARNING

Wireless module power output is set to conform to the applicable regulations per country. As a result, the communication distance may be shorter than expected. Contact TLV for further information.
