XSC Long Range Wireless Controller with A/D
Take all the Power of the ProXR Series Relay Controllers
...add a Digi XSC Long Range Wireless Interface
Long Range Wireless Control is Effortless!
2-Mile Wireless Relay
XSC is not one of the most widely known wireless technologies but it is easy to setup and capable of transmitting up to 2-miles very reliably. An XSC modem plugs into your USB port of your computer (available at checkout) and will transmit to the XSC relay with a standard range of 2-mile and up to 15 miles. We have tested the 2-mile range and it's very reliable, anything over this will require a rooftop antenna to extend the range to 15 miles (untested). You can choose module installed in the modem and board at checkout.
XSC Wireless Modules
This board is equipped with an XSC Module. The XSC communications module adds long range wireless communications to the board. The module is powered from the board. The board itself will require 12 volts of power and can be hard wired or you can purchase a "wall wart" type transformer at checkout.
Line-Of-Site Operation
As with any wireless technologies, for optimal performance it needs to be line-of-sight. In other words the antennas of the board and
modem must "see" each other to get the optimal range or even be able to communicate at all. Mounting slots on the modem make it easy to attach to a wall to allow for line-of-site operation.
Standard Range Antenna
The XSC900SR Standard Range Antenna (distance of 2 miles) is included with the price of the controller. The antenna has a short pig tail that connects to a button on the XSC module.
Long Range Antenna
An outside antenna will need to be installed in order to reach the 15 mile limit of these devices. When you choose this optional antenna we will include everything you will need to install this except for the pole. Included will be the Cushcraft PC9013 antenna, 20 feet of cable (longer cables are not recommended) and the connector to connect the board to the cable. Purchase a pole to mount the antenna from your local home improvement store and install the antenna. Connect the board to the antenna via the provided cable and start sending commands.
XSC Wireless Modem
Plug the UXSCMSR_ZIGMO standard range modem (2-miles) or UXSCMLR_ZIGMO long range modem into the USB Port of your computer. The modem will mount as a COM port on your PC. Open the COM port and start sending data to the modem. The modem will forward your data to all Wireless XSC compliant devices within range (it is also possible to speak to a specific device when other controllers are in range). Look for the modem option at checkout.
Sending Commands
Base Station Software is available at no charge to get you up and running fast (more on Base Station below). Once powered up, the controller waits for a ProXR command. A command consists of a few bytes of data in numerical format (see full command set) usually between 2 and 6 bytes. Once the command has been received, the controller processes the command, and sends you back ASCII character code 85 to signal the completion of your command. If a command was sent to read the status of the relay the status is sent back.Induction Suppression
Add years to the lifespan of the relay by adding an Induction Capacitor to the line. Perhaps the most overlooked aspect of relay control is proper handling of inductive loads. Inductive loads can best be defined as anything with a magnetic coil, such as a motor, solenoid, or a transformer. Controlling a inductive load using this relay controller requires the use of induction suppression capacitors. The purpose of this capacitor is to absorb the high voltages generated by inductive loads, blocking them from the contacts of the relay. Without this capacitor, the lifespan of the relay will be greatly reduced. Induction can be so severe that it electrically interferes with the microprocessor logic of our controllers, causing relay banks to shut themselves down unexpectedly. In the case of Ethernet devices, customers may experience loss of communications until the device is reconnected. Capacitors that we offer are available at checkout, for more information view our Induction Suppression Video.
About ProXR:
With all the control and backward/forward compatibility you have come to expect from the ProXR series command set, this controller allow you to send simple commands to activate relays, read the status of relays, activate up to 16 relay timers, and control up to 256 total relays using the XR Expansion Port. All relays are electronically latched, simply send a command to turn the relay on, send a different command to turn the relay off.
You can send commands to activate relays, deactivate relays, control all the relays at one time, plus you can send commands that tell a relay to turn on for a few seconds, minutes, or hours. You can assign 16 timers to any of the 256 relays, and set the timers to go off after the duration has expired. That's just the beginning, find out more about our ProXR Command Set.

About Universal Expansion Ports
If you need to add capabilities beyond basic relay control to your application, then you may want to consider using one of our controllers equipped with a UXP Expansion Port. UXP is a standardized data port, specifically for the purpose of speaking to various expansion modules. This Relay Controller is equipped with a UXP port, allowing you to take advantage of extended commands to speak to our growing line of I/O expansion modules.
