Description

The RXA15101E is an analog and digital 151 MHz receiver. The analog signal, normally 4-20mA is received from the transmitters (TXA15101E) analog input. Also, the normally open digital contact can be simultaneously received with the analog signal.  This eliminates the high cost of wiring and has the flexibility of wireless data collection.

Using 151MHz has superior penetration in congested industrial environments with steel construction. Higher frequencies such as 433MHz or 915MHz tend to reflect of metal and make wireless data collection difficult.

The on board 12-way dip switch sets the ID for the receiver.  This has to be matched to the 12-way dip switch on the transmitter for a secure transmission.

No case version is also available - RXA15101

The RXA15101 receiver is the PCB assembly only, while the RAX15101E receiver is enclosed in a UBB plastic case with an external supply connection and SO239 antenna socket.
