Description
The wireless remote control FRQ-0801 is a 429MHz band specific low-power wireless telecontrol unit that enables wireless remote control of various industrial equipment .
This wireless telecontrol unit allows for ON/OFF operation of up to 8 contacts , whereas our previous models, the FRN-0601 and FRP-0601 , only had a maximum of 6 contacts. Furthermore, unlike previous models, the receiver is waterproof , allowing it to be installed outdoors. The receiver antenna is built into the receiver, eliminating the need for complicated antenna installation work. The transmitter case employs a new design that prioritizes ease of use, providing a comfortable fit in the hand and excellent operability. It is also lightweight and employs two-material molding with elastomer , significantly improving drop resistance. The design also prioritizes operability, with embossed operation labels used on the operation switches .
In addition, the new model inherits various functions and specifications that have been well received in previous products, such as the correlation decoding method (our unique communication method that applies the spread spectrum method to achieve high communication quality ), the auto power off function ( to prevent forgetting to turn off the transmitter), the power on fail-safe function (to prevent malfunctions when the transmitter is turned on) , and a transmitter with a waterproof structure that allows you to work safely in the rain.
