PLUS Wireless Systems Products Manual WARNINGS AND SAFETY Read these safety instructions carefully. Keep this User Manual for later reference. Disconnect this equipment from power supply before cleaning. Use a damp cloth. Do not use liquid or spray detergents for cleaning. Keep this equipment away from humidity.
The distribution of Tekon Electronics products must ensure that the radio frequency of the product is accepted in the country of destination. Please check if the country you want to send the products to, allows the use of electronic devices with radio frequency emission equal to those emitted by the acquired products.
The RS485 port allows the gateway to be integrated with other equipment to communicate with the Modbus protocol, thus playing the role of Modbus Slave. All the products in the PLUS wireless family are configurable through the free software Tekon Configurator. REFERENCES You can check all the references of PLUS product family available so far for the market.
