Powerit Solutions’ Wireless Radio Technology

Konnekt™ Wireless Radios   
Konnekt’s versatile and cost effective data communication technology is specifically designed for industrial and commercial applications.  These radios provide ultimate design flexibility and lowers I/O and data network installation costs by using robust, industrial strength wireless nodes to transmit and receive signals.  In conjunction with the Energy Director™ and Predikt™ software, you can monitor and direct plant or facility loads without the prohibitive implementation costs associated with cumbersome electrical wires and pipes.

This wireless technology allows you to capture and transmit both digital and analog data in a wireless sensor network. It accepts all digital inputs plus analog process values including temperature, energy, level, pressure, flow and distance. Whether the application is energy management, building management or process control, wireless I/O can be the perfect solution for reliable and cost-effective interfacing to field devices and equipment. It is the best way to ensure your investment in control infrastructure can adapt easily to your changing needs.

Bi-directional communications:
Full receive and transmit RX/TX communications between Konnekt Gateway and Remote Nodes allows radio link validation and error checking, with both sensing and actuation on the same network.

Powerful, rugged and reliable:
System operates on a proven, Frequency-Hopping, Spread-Spectrum wireless protocol with radio output up to 150mW. Gateways and Nodes are available with internal, external or remote antennas. Enclosures are rated NEMA 6P, IP67 for challenging environments and outdoor applications.

Load connection-ready
Optional relay and power panels provide the necessary system power and field-interfaces needed for field implementation. Panels are designed and built to UL508 and include the necessary circuit protection, surg suppression, field-voltage relays and terminal blocks. All panels include detailed drawings and are clearly labeled for easy installation and support.
