    See also the Power Focus User guide, 9836 3123 01. Radio Frequency Exposure The Serial Port Adapter (or the IRC Focus front panel) and the Tensor STB contain a small radio transmitter and receiver. During communication all IRC products receive and transmit radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic fields in the frequency range for the ISM (Industrial, Scientific and Medical) band (2.4GHz and 5.0 GHz).

  • Page 5: System Overview

    System overview System overview Tensor STB is battery powered and communicates with the Power Focus tightening controller system through wireless digital communication built on Industrial Radio Communication (IRC) technology. Figure 1 System overview A Tensor STB system includes the following parts.
