An FS II communication system

An FS II system consists of three main elements:

• The wireless beltpacks.

• An Eclipse HX matrix (Omega, Median or Delta) with an E-IPA-HX card or E-Que card.

• The transceiver network that provides custom coverage zones in which beltpacks can operate. Beltpacks can roam freely between coverage zones.

FS II also includes a drop-in battery charger for the beltpack Li-Ion batteries. You can conveniently charge the battery by placing the whole beltpack into the charger, or by placing individual batteries into the charger.

FS II operates using a cellular network of transceivers located around a working environment. The transceivers connect to the matrix via an E-IPA-HX or E-Que card installed on the matrix. Each transceiver provides an area or cell in which up to ten full-duplex beltpacks can operate.

Beltpacks can roam among and between cells without disconnecting because each beltpack continually detects which transceiver has the strongest available signal. When the signal from a transceiver starts to diminish due to the distance from a beltpack, the beltpack automatically “hands off” its signal to the nearest transceiver, ensuring smooth transfer.

Note:

The E-IPA-HX card with IP Transceiver offers twice the beltpack density compared to the E-Que card .
