X10DR Elite Series Roof Top Gateway; (GEN2)

SKU: XRTG-EX2
To provide even greater range and into building coverage, now available is a unique external mount version of the Elite Gateway. Operating in the 2.4GHz band means coax cable losses can be significant....up to 3dB loss is typical on a 5.5 meter cable run. That’s the equivalent of halving the RF output! By simply repackaging the existing Elite Gateway electronics into an IP55 rated weatherproof housing and mounting the gateway externally, unobstructed, on a roof, light rack or similar, we are now able to achieve range in access of 700 meters down a highway. Naturally, that also means greater into building”penetration than with a standard internally mounted gateway device.
Simple Installation Connection to the XRTG is via a 5.2m long shielded cat 6 cable. This control cable has an outer diameter of 6.0mm which is similar in diameter to LMR200 coax cable which would be normally ran out of the cabin to a roof rack mounted antenna. To simplify installation, both ends of the gateway connect cable (XRTC-5.2) is terminated but should you need to shorten the cable or remove the shielded RJ45 plug to allow passing thru a cabin wall etc, a replacement can be found at any computer network supply store. Should your application require, a number of vendors (Digikey etc) supply IP65 rated bulkhead RJ45 connectors for providing a watertight entry for the cable into the passenger cabin. X10DRMC Mobile Charger The X10DR Secure Microphone now recharges in a X10DRMC mobile charger which is mechanically similar to a standard Elite gateway charging cradle. Charging times are identical. Alternatively Desktop Chargers can be used when desired. Handset Gateway Pairing The pairing procedure which would normally only ever occur at time of installation, is very similar except that the 3 pairing pins are now located inside the XRTG. Simply remove the gateway top cover, put the handset into pairing mode and touch it on the three internal pairing pins. Lifetime pairing is complete in seconds. Naturally a second or third handset can also be paired for multi mic operation, if required. Alternatively, a XRPC pairing cradle can be used to alleviate the need to open the XRTG housing.
