Simple Power Connections
Theadapterispowereddirectlyfromthe3.3Vpowerfeedsofthecontroller’sserviceport.
Power kits are available to run the adapter as a repeater to bridge controllers that are far apart.
Adding the Wireless Adapter is a snap. A maximum of 32 wireless nodes are supported per
controller.
Amplified Output
TheWirelessAdapters/Repeatershaveanamplifiedoutputtotheironboardantenna,witha
maximumof+6dBmpowertotheantennaandamaximumradiatedpoweroutputof+10dBm.
The TAC Wireless Adapters/Repeaters are capable of delivering the strongest output permitted
by FCC and CE regulations. The power output levels generated by each node may be attenuated
through software to either meet the maximum power requirements of the local site or to balance
the wireless network.

Wireless Maintenance Tool for Mesh Optimisation
Visualise your wireless mesh with the Wireless Maintenance Tool. The maintenance tool
automatically discovers all wireless adapters and repeaters while showing the signal strength of
eachnode,itsneighbouringtableandthelinequalityofeachconnection.Thegraphicdisplay
