Features

  • Designed for compliance with EN 300 220-3 and EN 301 489-3
  • Each transmitter module is pre-programmed and unique
  • No additional circuitry required to use the module
  • 32-bit encryption - more than 4 billion combinations
  • Usable range up to 300m
  • Available at 433.92MHz
  • Fully screened module
  • Suitable for use with a Radiometrix KRX receiver-decoder
The module combines full screening with extensive internal filtering for EMC - minimising spurious radiations and susceptibilities. The KTX2 module will suit wireless control links in applications including car and building security and secure unidirectional remote process control. Because of the small size and low power requirement the module is ideal for use in portable, battery-powered devices such as hand-held remote controls requiring data integrity and high security.
