OVERVIEW
The INT-XB is a Powerline communication Rx/Tx (Transmit/Receive) daughter-board module that couples to the generic INT-MIO base-board or to the INT-3PA 3-phase coupler/amplifier, and enables simple coupling of powerline communication between different types of voltages, or even different power systems on both sides of a transformer, by using data transmission over a low-power RF signal at a 2.4GHz radio frequency.
By using 2 INT-XB modules, it becomes easy, economical and simple to:
- Build an "aerial data bridge", enabling communication between 2 sides of a transformer,
- or between 2 systems of a different voltage, without having to build a physical electronic passive bridge which would be more costly to install (Ex: Powerline communication signal repeated between 347-1 and 120VAC)
Note: The Powerline signal does not travel through a transformer, and difficultly through Bus-bars usually with high loads and very low impedance
With these powerline communication modules, complex automation environments can be developed simply and commissioned quickly and economically.
These RF Repeaters are available at the following voltages: 120-1, 208-1, 240-1, 347-1 VAC (Specify when ordering)
FEATURES
-
- Designed to create flexible, smart automation systems for institutional, commercial and industrial buildings.
- Greatly simplifies coupling of powerline signals between different voltages and different power systems on both sides of a transformer, enabling remote control of DimOnOff® Powerline modules via already existing electrical wiring, or via Internet (Specify Powerline-Ethernet Modem MOD-ETH, or Powerline-USB Modem MOD-USB)
- Reliable powerline communication in high attenuation (0.5Ω min.) and noisy electrical environments

CAUTIONS & NOTES
-
- The INT-XB must be installed into an electrical box with proper size. Typically, an electrical metallic enclosure 8" x 8" x 4"
- Only used for junction boxes where min. 90°C wiring is used.
- These devices are intended for installation in accordance with your local electric code and regulations. It is recommended that a qualified electrician perform this installation.
- A transmitter is required to communicate with the module and is sold separately. (Specify MOD-USB or MOD-Eth to be used with DimOnOff® Configuration, Control & Monitoring software)
