The SRR Transmitter has been designed to
transmit the maximum power allowed by the FCC.
Furthermore, it has special circuitry to assure that
this maximum output power is maintained until just
before the battery goes dead. Other transmitters
emit less and less power as the battery wears down.
And our special SmartPort
®
wiring harness is
designed to keep interfering signals at a minimum,
especially with the addition of Hunter shielded
cable. The Receiver employs a reception method far
superior to that used in a typical garage door opener
or car alarm.
The SRR has been designed to give you simple,
reliable operation for many years.
There are many claims being made about the range
of various remote control systems, whether they be
for auto alarms, garage doors, or irrigation systems
for that matter. The published range for the SRR
System is up to 450 feet. Most users will achieve this
range or more, but a few may not. It is the attempt of
this section to educate the user about those factors
that influence operating range. We believe that we
have achieved the maximum performance available
on this frequency. Here’s why…
The range of any remote control system is dependent
on many factors. These include the terrain at a
particular site, obstructions such as buildings
and walls, the strength of the various interfering
signals, the sensitivity of the Receiver, the ability of
the Receiver to reject “unwanted” signals, and the
strength of the Transmitter. Since it is impossible
to control the obstructions, terrain at a site, and the
strength of interfering signals, it is impossible to
guarantee an operating range under all conditions.
However, we have done everything under our control
to maximize the operating range of this system.
