| SATLINK2 -
40 WATTS SATELLITE TRANSMITTER FOR DATA BUOY APPLICATIONS |
 |
|
 |
- Ideal for Buoy Applications
- Pocket PC Communications
- 4 Analog & 10
SDI-12 Interfaces
The SL2-B40W-1 has
been certified at 40 Watts on GOES
100/300/1200 bps and International
DC (GOES/METEOSAT/GMS)
The 40 Watt power level
is highly suited for operation on
a moving platform or station, such
as a buoy, that requires a low gain
omnidirectional antenna. |

|
SatLink2 40
Watts may be used with an optional, nonmounted
display with the following features:
- Adds dual communication capability
to SatLink2
- Dimensions: 5 1/2” x 6 1/2” x
1”
- Optional internal modem
- Can force a transmission
- Communications: 3 RS232 ports (one
to connect to SatLink 2, one to a PC
or PDA, & one to an external modem)

The System requires another payload
to control DC power to the amplifier
to minimize quiescent current consumption.
If no controller is present, order Kit
#6661-1261-1 that allows SatLink automatic
control of the DC power to the amplifier.
