The Tensator Wireless ECF provides both wireless data connection to PDUs and to a new generation of
Tensator RF Button.
The Wireless PDU provides mains connected LED PDUs with a wireless data link back to a Tensator
Hub. The Tensator hub requires a CTRX (transceiver) unit to be connected. A maximum of 24 units can
be connected to any one system. There are 254 different zones that can be used and these zones are
used to allow multiple systems to be installed within a shared area.
Wireless RF buttons share the same CTRX as the PDUs. Again, there is a maximum of 24 buttons per
zone (1 zone per CTRX).
The estimated operational distance is 100 meters line-of-site. Every site has slightly different RF
characteristics and therefore during the installation the CTRX (transceiver) unit should be tried in
different locates until the optimum position is found.
