The 2635A-RF900USB 900 MHz RF USB Modem (referred to as “the Modem”) is a radio-frequency transceiver that, used together with the 2635A-RF900 Serial RS-232 Modem, creates a wireless link between Fluke Hydra Series Data Loggers and a computer (PC) running Hydra application software.

Note

The modem operates in the 900 MHz frequency range and is approved by the FCC for use in the United States. Operation in other countries may violate local regulations. When operating outside the United States, check with the appropriate governing agency in the host country prior to Modem operation.

Figure 1. 2635A-RF900USB 900 MHz RF USB Modem

Each wireless system requires two modems – one base station connected to a PC, and one remote station connected to a Hydra Data Logger. This USB Modem is used as a base station connected to the PC; the remote station connected to the Hydra is a 2635A- RF900 Serial RS-232 Modem.

To ease system setup, the Modem’s factory default settings are correct for proper PC-to-Hydra operation without further adjustments. There are no setup differences between the base and remote stations.
