FULLY TESTED & REFURBISHED - Campbell Scientific RF401 - W/ Warranty

910-918MHZ ANTENNA INCLUDED!!

The refurbishing and certification process for data collection equipment is critical for accurate measurements, and credible, reliable data. These Campbell Scientific RF401 radios have been tested, are completely refurbished and include a warranty (30 days from date of sale). Each radio has been updated with the latest available Operating System or firmware (RF401_series_04). The radios are certified to be working within the original factory specifications of ±0.1% of the full scale range.

Detailed Description:

These RF401 radios are ready to be deployed. I have Campbell Dataloggers, power supplies and other related equipment listed in separate auctions. Additionally, I have a wide variety of related items that have not been listed. If you need sensors, power supplies, communications equipment or anything else to complete your data collection system, please ask, we may be able to assist. You will receive a shipping discount when multiple items can be combined. The RF401 is a high-speed 900 MHz serial radio designed for unlicensed operation in several countries, including the United States and Canada. The RF401 functions in the 910 to 918 MHz band range and is a power-sipping, yet speedy. The RF401 is known as one of the most cost-effective and reliable ways to network data loggers.


Overview

The RF401 is a high-speed 900 MHz serial radio designed for unlicensed operation in several countries, including the United States and Canada. The RF401 functions in the 910 to 918 MHz band range and is a power-sipping, yet speedy device. The RF401 is known as one of the most cost-effective and reliable ways to network data loggers.

The RF401 has a 910 to 918 MHz operating frequency range, which is used in the US and Canada. This 100 mW spread-spectrum radio can transmit data to most Campbell Dataloggers (see attached compatibility list) another RF401 radio, an RF430 radio, a CR206(X) datalogger, or an AVW206 vibrating-wire interface.

The RF401 supports point-to-point and point-to-multipoint communications. It can serve as a field modem/radio while connected to the data logger or as a base station modem/radio while connected to a computer. The radio can also serve as a stand-alone RF router/repeater.

The RF401 reduces susceptibility to RF interference from other spread spectrum devices by providing user-selectable frequency hopping patterns. Spread spectrum radios spread the normally narrowband information signal over a relatively wide band of frequencies. This process allows communications to be virtually immune to noise and interference from RF sources such as pagers and cellular phones, and is what has made the 401 the radio of choice for so long.


Benefits and Features

  • Does not require individual operational license in the United States or Canada
  • Rugged, low-cost transceivers
  • Can be used in the field as a transceiver or in the office as the base station
  • Transmits up to one mile with omnidirectional antenna; up to 10 miles with higher gain directional antennas at ideal conditions
  • Settings stored in non-volatile memory
  • Frequency-hops over 25 channels avoids interference from other spread spectrum radios
  • Optional extended temperature testing
  • Faster communication due to elimination of some small "link state packets"
  • Ability to have stand-alone RF router/repeaters (up to 8 repeaters)
  • Immunity to interference and RF collisions
  • Reduced power consumption by the data logger, as the radios perform "packet address filtering"
  • Designed for use in PakBus networks
  • Built-in setup menus allow access to advanced functionality
