ResponseTimeNote: Response time refers to the time it takes from when a signal is inputted into the input terminal until a signal is outputted from the output terminal of the paired unit.
Response time and communication distance may vary depending on the usage conditions.

Possible to use simultaneously up to 15 pairs of theunit within the same communication area

By incorporating in-house developed small LoRa wireless module (920 MHz
band wireless communication), we have achieved simultaneous usage ofup to 15 pairs of the unit.

Note: If communication errors occur despite having a good communication environment, please try thefollowing: "Change the channel," "Increase the distance between WCP-LR16U units," and "Set
non-adjacent channels to each WCP-LR16U installed in close proximity".
Note: The number of available pairs of the unit remains the same for both standard mode and long-range mode.
Note: The number of available pairs of the unit remains the same even if the pairs set in standard mode and thepairs set in long-range mode are mixed within the same communication area.

WCP-LR16U conducts communication
with the paired unit at intervals of theset time (10 s / 60 s) and performs
LED lighting and error output whencommunication errors occur.

Excellent

By conducting continuous communication with the pairedunit, the communication environment is displayed using
LEDs in 5 levels (excellent, good, fair, poor, very poor).
You can use the check result of the communication
environment as a reference to determine the installation
location of WCP-LR16U.

Channel
15・By setting a unique channel for each pair of the unit from the available 15 channels, it
becomes possible to have simultaneous usage of 15 pairs of the unit within the samecommunication area.
・By conducting communication with the paired unit only during "input signal change" and"communication status monitoring", we minimize communication errors caused by radio
interference as much as possible.
・If a communication error occurs, the unit will automatically resend the signal duringcommunication status monitoring to ensure reliable delivery to the paired unit.
