Overview
The RF400 was a 100 mW spread spectrum radio/modem for point-to-point and point-to-multipoint data logger communications. It could serve as a field radio/modem connected to a data logger or as a base station radio/modem connected to a computer. The RF400 had a 910 to 918 MHz operating frequency range, which was used in the US/Canada.
Note: In the image, the RF400 is shown with the 14204 indoor antenna.

Additional Compatibility Information
Communications
The RF400 can transmit data to another RF400 radio or a CR205 datalogger. The RF400 may also be used in a network with RF401 radios and/or CR206(X) dataloggers if all of the RF401 radios and CR206(X) dataloggers are set to the transparent mode.
Campbell Scientific does not recommend using the RF400 in networks containing FGR-115 or RF450 radios.
Enclosure Considerations
A desiccated, non-condensing environment is required. The 14162 Mounting Kit includes hardware for securing the RF400 to an enclosure backplate (see Ordering Info).
