For example, an SG900-6 antenna with a CC20/900 cable has a net gain of 2dB (i.e. +8 dB – 6 dB) at 900 MHz. The 105U-L-R module has no limitation on antenna gain, as this module does not incorporate a radio transmitter.
1. ELPRO recommends using the 105-G module as a repeater unit between 105U- L-T and 105U-L-R modules. 2. To use a repeater unit, the 105U-L modules and the repeater module must be configured using the supplied configuration software. The factory default configuration described in the Quick Start Guide cannot use a repeater unit.
You must connect an antenna to each 105 module using the SMA connector at the top of the enclosure. ELPRO recommends carefully taping the connections between the antenna and coaxial cable to prevent moisture ingress. Moisture ingress in the coaxial cable is a common cause of radio system problem as it greatly increases the radio losses.
105U-L Wireless I/O Installation Manual Dipole and collinear antennas This section contains important information for using dipole and collinear antennas. For more information, see the next sections. Dipole antennas Unity gain dipole antennas are commonly used on unlicensed channels. The dipole antenna does not provide any gain, so the power transmitted from the antenna is the same as the power out of the module.

105U-L Wireless I/O Installation Manual Installing the power supply The unit works with a 9-30 VDC 0.6 Amp CSA certified Class 2 power supply. For use in Class 1 Div 2 explosive areas, the power supply must be approved for Class 1 Div 2 use.
105U-L Wireless I/O Installation Manual Inputs and outputs The units have the following inputs and outputs: Input/output 105U-L-T 105U-L-R Description For more information, see … Digital inputs Suitable for Voltage free Digital inputs on contact, NPN transistor, page 21. 0-5V signal.
105U-L Wireless I/O Installation Manual Digital inputs The 105U-L-T module provides two digital inputs suitable for: Voltage free contacts – e.g. mechanical switches; or NPN transistor devices – e.g. electronic proximity switches; or 0-5V signals - 2V – 4V Minimum range.
105U-L Wireless I/O Installation Manual Relay outputs The 105U-L-R module provides three normally open voltage-free relay contacts rated at 250VAC / 30VDC 1A. You can use these outputs to directly control low-powered equipment or power larger relays for higher-powered equipment.
105U-L Wireless I/O Installation Manual Status outputs The unit contains the following status outputs: System OK; Setpoint Output; and Communications Failure. Status outputs are FET output to common rated at 30VDC 500 mA. Connect the output circuit to the appropriate Status Output terminal. Each status output circuit is associated with an LED indicator that lights lit when the digital output is active.
You should only connect one end of the cable shield to Earth To connect an analog signal from a PLC or DCS output to an analog input on the 105U-L- T, you must carefully check the internal circuit of the output as different devices use different ways to create an analog signal.
