RCON System is constructed not only with the Gateway Unit (RCON-GW/GWG) and Terminal Unit (RCON-
GW-TR) that are explained in this manual, but also with Driver Unit (RCON-PC/PCF/AC/DC/SC), Power
Supply Unit (RCON-PS2), Simple Absolute Unit (RCON-ABU), Fan Unit (RCON-FU), Extension Unit
(RCON-EXT) and SCON Controller (SCON-CB-*-RC) to connect to the extension unit. Please refer to First
Step Guide and Instruction Manual (DVD) of each device for additional instruction related to that device.
Gateway Unit is a communication unit to be connected to the field network and must be located on the left
end of the RCON System.
The terminal unit is a terminal resistor that should be allocated at the right end of RCON System.
This product is comprised of the following parts if it is of standard configuration.
If you find any fault in the contained model or any missing parts, contact us or our distributor.
