GATEWAY

THE GATEWAY, THE CORE OF THE SYSTEM

Not a simple data conveyor but an intelligent machine that constantly communicates with cells or repeaters.

3 WAYS OF POWER SUPPLY

The active cells must constantly communicate with the Gateway which must always be on, even in the absence of a PC. When connected to the PC it is powered via USB. Without the USB cable, the internal backup battery takes over. For long periods without connection to the PC, the AC 220 / 125V input with PowerCON TRUE1 connector is available.

THE MAIN INFORMATION DIRECTLY ON THE PANEL

Four RGB LEDs constantly show the system status.

  • L1: Tx LED is blue when transmitting
  • L2: Rx LED is green when receiving

  • L3: Yellow only when AC supply or USB supply is connected: Blinking Yellow = Charging
    Solid Yellow= Fully Charged
    Red = no external power supply is connected (AC Power Supply or USB Power Supply) and battery is Low

  • L4: Cyan LED blinking when AC supply connected, Red blinking in all the other cases (it means USB supply or Battery Supply) (it is like an ON/OFF indication)

DOWNLOAD DATA SHEET

FROM CELLS TO SCREEN

The Gateway collects data from cells or repeaters. The Gateway must be connected to the PC with a USB-A cable for power and data management via the Flexa Control software.

SHORT AND LONG DISTANCES
In most common uses, the Gateway connects directly to active cells. In critical conditions of radio signal transmission, it may be necessary to use repeaters. In this case the Gateway connects exclusively to the Repeaters (up to a maximum of 5 unit).

SIGNAL QUALITY AND TRANSMISSION RANGE
Every radio transmission is affected by environmental conditions. The distances calculated in line of sight on an open field are different from the real ones in presence of different obstacles. The graphs below show different ranges based on the environment in which the system operates.
