in 12.5 or 25 Khz channel spacing.
Voltage : 10 -15 volts DC
Current : 0.25amps @12 volts
Option to operate through a "Sleep Mode" Power management
Card if radio power consumption critical when operated from a small
solar power source.

Designed
for direct connection to the COMMUNICATOR flasher for maximum versatility
and no communication costs.
- Available in the following frequencies:
• VHF from 125 to 180 MHz
• UHF from 390 to 490 MHz
• UHF from 868 to 870 MHz
- Certified under the following specifications
EN 300 220 and ETS 300 086
- Low Transmit and receive power drain enables unit to be easily
powered from solar and permits a licence exempt status in U.K.
- Standard 0.5 watt Module achieves over 12 miles range with
other powers available for greater ranges with licence
in 430-470 MHz.
- Radio provides "On Board" LED
indicators for easy site observation of Tx/Rx and data status.
- Low power consumption allows connection to existing power
sources without the need to upgrade if interrogation
kept to daily contact.
- Can be supplied for retro fitting in two options:
• Option No1 - Aerial and Modem in self contained unit with
COMMUNICATOR remaining in lantern.
• Option No 2 - COMMUNICATOR and Modem mounted together with
aerial (as shown) or larger 3 db or 5db gain antennas.
- Master site can either be (as shown) mounted on a mid channel
buoy or shore station to provide synchronisation
of flash characters or alternatively, the master station can
be just a radio modem connected to a PC housed in port control
providing both synchronisation and remote monitoring. (see PELANET
MONITOR leaflet for more information)
- PELANET Remote monitoring master can be added at a later date
without altering the remote sites when budget
is available thus upgrades can be added on an as required basis
in the future.
- System can be expanded to incorporate the 2 monitor and 2
control points facilities plus analogue voltage
provided for in the COMMUNICATOR .

Features
- Each site is provided with a actual site picture for recognition
by system operators.
- Blue information section lists the site's equipment and characteristics.
- Yellow panel shows monitored parameters up dated each time
the site is interrogated.
- Pull down menu lists history of last 100 interrogations to
enable review of the site's development at a glance.
- A site status box changes colour and text to indicate at a
glance if site is operating correctly. Alarm levels
can be set for optional manual acknowledgement by operator.
- A harbour chart screen shows the station status colour within
each station's name button.
- Synchronisation of multiple buoys easily achieved within system
at no extra cost.
