GEONET MULTI-CHANNEL NODES

The GeoNet Multi-Channel Node (MCN) increases the number of sensors a node
can read, as indicated in the following table.
Model 5: Maximum Number of Sensors
04C Four
08C Eight

TABLE 5: Multi-Channel Node Sensor/Load Limits

Channel switching is controlled by the node and is accomplished by solid-state
(non-mechanical) circuitry.
Each MCN uses as much data as four or eight single nodes, depending on the
node model. The MCN is protected from environmental contaminants by a
rugged IP66 die cast aluminum enclosure. An earth ground terminal is provided
on the exterior of the enclosure to protect against lightning and other large,
transient voltages.
MCNs ship with the following accessories:
■
One omnidirectional antenna (2.1 dBi). For other antenna options, please
contact GEOKON technical support.
■
Two D cell alkaline batteries
■
Four desiccant packs
