About GC-ATC-863
GC-ATC-863, the mini power wireless module, is used as the
wireless data transmission in short distance. With the small
size, weight and power consumption and good stability and
reliability, it has the function of bi-directional data sign
transmission, test and control. It is used for Wireless meter
reading, such as water meter, electric meter and gas meter,
parking meter, intellective card, electronic weighing
apparatus, meter for checking on work attendance, queue
wireless meter, building control, shipping company control,
alarm system, intelligent equipment, Automatic data
collecting system; Industrial remote control and remote test
building automation, safety and security, powerhouse
equipment wireless monitor, entrance control system, etc. It
provides the USB power interface to be convenient for the
mini computer and PC users if necessary.
