AC4490-1000M

Compact AC4490 900MHz transceivers can replace miles of cable in harsh industrial environments. Using field-proven FHSS technology that needs no additional site licensing*, AC4490s reject interference, enable co-located system operation, increase output power and maintain data integrity. AC4490s feature drop-in installation and a number of on-the-fly control commands, providing OEMs with a versatile interface for any application. They can be used as direct wire replacements, requiring no special host software for communication. All frequency hopping, synchronization and RF system data transmission/reception is performed by the transceiver. • Lowest cost one-watt module available. AC4490 modules are socket-compatible with AeroComm’s 2.4GHz AC4424 transceivers, enabling OEMs to design once and subsequently interchange radios to accommodate new markets, regulations and environments. Developer tools and integration support back every transceiver line. Let AeroComm help you find the best fit for your application. • “Long range” mode enables 40 miles. • High 900MHz data rate: 115.2 Kbps. • Small form factor: 1.65 x 1.9 inches. • Operates in –40ºC to +80ºC temperatures. • Variable output power: 5mW to 1000mW.

Power consumption assumes 50% transmitter on-time. Flexible RF Protocol AeroComm’s embedded transparent protocol simplifies the OEM’s integration process by allowing for drop-in installation. As each transceiver receives raw data, it manages over-theair protocol to assure successful communication. Headers, data packet length, and CRCs are not needed. RF232 supports simple cable-replacement to complex peerto-peer configurations. Broadcast communication to all transceivers or address packets to a specific destination using unique MAC addresses embedded in each transceiver. AC4490, Actual Size Protocol Features RF PROTOCOL MODES a) Communication Unicast (one-to-one addressing) Broadcast (one-to-many addressing) b) Acknowledgement mode (ACK) API with hardware and/or software ACK indication c) One-beacon mode d) Dynamic radio data table Retains data from up to 12 transceivers RF Architectures Placing Orders Select features from the list bel ow to identify the approp riate part number.
