ROC800-Series Instruction Manual

Revised Jul-14

Communications

5-15

The NRM provides a wireless solution of transferring data from RTU to

another RTU within the Distributed RTU Network (DRN). The data can

be any type of information that the RTU has in its database, such as I/O,

soft points, or other information.

The NRM includes a FreeWave radio to handle the wireless data

transmission. The radio utilizes TDMA technology, and allows for

multiple networks (with unique Network IDs and Frequency hop Keys)

to be located in close proximity to each other without experiencing

signal degradation.

The NRM is designed to be plug-and-play and requires no wiring. The

NRM can be installed in slot 1, 2, or 3 in the ROC800-Series 2 RTU.

Depending on the enclosure you choose to surround the node and

protect it from the environment, you may need additional cabling

between the antenna and the connection on the module itself. For

additional details on antenna, cabling, and enclosure installation

instructions, refer to the
