5854/A2 Packaged Rain Station
58545854/A2
All the effectiveness of the standard ALERT rain station, built on the bi-directional 50388 Data Transmitter. Besides the ALERT/ALERT2 radio port, two standard serial ports open multiple communication pathways — GOES on timed and random channels, bi-directional over ScadaLynx radios, and leased-line, dial-up, microwave or radio modems. Commands over the return path are protected by the ALERT2 protocol's encryption and authentication — how bi-directional networks stay secure →
