COMMPAK I/O8

The COMMPAK I/O8 is a digital input/output device specifically for wireless On/Off control and detection applications. Its 900 MHz frequency hopping spread spectrum (FHSS) radio provides reliable bi-directional long-range communications of up to 20 miles (line-of-sight), and the ability to confirm remote switch closure.

Each of the 8 digital outputs can be programmed to run either on schedule or on demand. This eliminates the need for timer relays and considerably reduces installation complexity and cost. Our configuration and management software also provides support for Point-to-Point or Point-to-Multipoint deployment, giving the I/O8 infinite routing possibilities.
