Technical Description

Note: The RF95A has been replaced by the RF500M modem. The RF95A remains available for customers with application-specific custom PROMS.

The RF95A is used with our RF300-series radios. It provides an RF communication interface between the data logger and a RF300-series radio. Each RF95A contains dip switches that allow the user to address the modem with a number between 0 and 255.

The RF95A and the primary transceivers it supported, the RF300-series radios, were replaced on our standard price lists by the RF310-series radios and RF310M modem in June 2002.

Additional Compatibility Information

Radios, Radio Modems, and Radio Base Stations

The RF95A had earlier replaced the RF95 in all applications [the RF95A retained the RF95's item number]. The RF95A is backward compatible with existing Campbell Scientific RF systems but not compatible with RF310-series radios.

If RF95A modems are used in a network containing RF500M modems or RF500B base stations then the RF95A modems must use the -TD PROM; the data loggers must also be Table Data (-TD) or PakBus (-PB) versions.

Power Source

The RF95A requires a 5 V power supply from the data logger's CS I/O port or from a PS100/A100 (non-data-logger repeater site).
