Hunter Control System Design Guide - Hunter Industries

Radio CommunicationsRadio Field Controllers are standalone Field Controllers, with the addition of the radio communicationsboard, a radio module, and the radio antenna on the lid of the pedestal.It is critical that each proposed radio Field Controller location be tested before installation. This ispart of the site survey that is required for every Genesis radio installation.All communications in Hunter radio systems are via UHF radio signal (450 – 470 MHz).Maintenance Radio capability is automatic in radio systems. Any TRNR handheld Two-Wayradio, on the same frequency, can access the radio Field Controllers directly with theStraight Talk feature. Maintenance Radio commands do not go through the central and do notrequire any additional hardware at the central.Radio communications may be added to standalone Field Controllers at any time. Remember thatthe lid on steel Field Controllers must be changed at the same time, to add the Stealth Antenna lid.Plastic controllers may be drilled for routing of the antenna cable.Important: Radio Notes• Radio Systems (including Maintenance Radio) must be licensed.• All Radio Systems must have a site survey performed and documented.• The frequency is no longer included in the model number, but must be specified at thetime of order.Simple Radio installation10
