DD1000
DDAA1000

Discrete/Analog Wireless Multiplexer
for the 900 MHz ISM Band

Features Easy to implement Field configurable Automatic restart No special software required Point-to-point or point-to-multipoint Inexpensive to install—no wires to route or ditches to dig

The Data-Linc Group DD1000 and DDAA1000 wireless multiplexers offer applications the ability to transmit 4-20 mA and/or discrete signals without the cost or inconvenience of adding wires or additional devices.

The DDAA1000 combines an analog/ discrete signal digitizer with Data-Linc Group’s SRM industrial grade license free wireless modems. The result is a simple to implement solution for I/O signal transmission.

Each DDAA multiplexer has eight discrete inputs and eight outputs, as well as eight analog (4-20 mA) inputs and outputs.

The DD1000 is as described above but offers only the discrete function.

The radio section of the multiplexers incorporate the license-free 902-928 MHz spread spectrum ISM (industrial/scientific/medical) band technology used by the Data-Linc Group SRM Family of radio modems. These units are capable of wireless transmission up to 25 miles (40 km) with line-of-sight and an omni directional antenna. (Also available for the 2.4 GHz band.)

In the event of a communications link failure, discrete outputs will default to open, while analog outputs will default to 4 mA.
