All of Adam Wireless Inc. products are designed for ease of installation. Only basic electrical skills, common to electricians and maintenance personnel are required.

What range or distance can I expect from my RC7 or RC8?
Individual units are spec-ed at conservative distance. The UHF has a range of typically seven miles. The VHF has a range of typically ten miles. The spread spectrum (900 Megahertz) has a range of typically ½ mile. Range is determined by location of the antennae, how near line of site the two units are, the type and amount of obstacles between the two units and the level of radio frequency interference (RFI) around a unit. Adam Wireless Inc. strives to set range expectation based on real world application or installation characteristics. Individual ranges are based on each site location. For information on distances beyond the typical range please contact Adam Wireless Inc. technical support for assistance. Options are available to enhance distance.

How large an electrical motor can the RC7 and RC8 start?
Adam Wireless Inc.'s output relays are DPDT 10 AMP relays capable of directly driving up to a 1/3 HP motor. However, the relays are capable of activating any size motor drive contactors.

How would I know if the units fail?
The RC7 and the RC8 continuously verify operation via a "hand shake" acknowledgment between the units approximately every 30 seconds. If no connection is made, the units go into an alarm state until connection is reestablished. An output alarm relay allows an alarm hookup to be utilized. (This can be a bell, an auto dial phone, a light or other manner of alarm.) Units provide a test button, an alarm light and a green ready light to verify status.
