Company History
Development of ProSoft Technology’s first product began in 1988 under contract to Allen-Bradley. This initial firmware
solution provided Modbus Slave communications for the PLC platform.
Formally incorporated in 1990, by 1993 ProSoft Technology had developed an extensive protocol library which helped
them evolve from a single product company to a multiple product provider. Since then, ProSoft Technology has become a
major supplier of communication products for the industrial automation industry. Facilitated by our extremely active
product development program and customer recognition of our product quality, ProSoft Technology now has four product
families including:

In-chassis interface modules for Allen-Bradley control platforms PLC-5, SLC 500,
ControlLogix, Flex I/O, CompactLogix, and SCANport/Drives.

ProLinx stand-alone industrial gateways offer communication solutions between

automation platforms, controllers, field instrumentation, Ethernet, and serial networks.

In-chassis interface modules for Schneider Electric's Quantum platform.

ƒ Excellent for voice to telemetry applications
ƒ Permanent mounting. Permanent mount models
are available for high-risk applications such as

and achieve economical mounting
ƒ The patented whipless design allows car washes
without removing the antenna. Whipless means
they don't look like antennas, attract less attention,
less vandalism, and have lower wind resistance.
The A2403NBH-OC is also less susceptible to
damage by trees, garages, or other obstructions
ƒ Field diversity means that the antenna is
simultaneously sensitive to both electric and
magnetic fields of signal, like having two antennas.
Field diversity makes the antenna resistant to the

Important Note:
The kit items shown in the table are only included when you order the entire RLX-500 kit. The kit will have a part number
of RLX-500-XXX. If you only order part number RLX-500, you only receive items 1 through 7.

Installation Guidelines
Each RLX-500 amplifier is equipped with internal ¼ wave technology lightning protection. However, for additional
protection, the RLX-500 kit provides additional lightning arrestors between the antenna and the RLX-500 amplifier and
between the radio and the RLX-500 DC injector. This arrestor should be grounded properly with a heavy gauge ground
12AWG wire.

1 The RLX-500 amplification device is a RadioLinx subassembly and its use has been FCC approved for use in an RF
system. The RLX-500 kit has been pre-designed to meet FCC approval and use under the following guidelines:

2 The bi-directional amplifier has been designed to operate with a cable loss between the radio and amplifier of 6.5 dB
to 20 dB. Within this range, the output of the amplifier will always be ½ W regardless of the input level.

3 The amplifier may not be used with less than 6.5 dB cable loss.

4 Use of the amplifier outside of these guidelines will result in violation of 47 CFR Part 15 FCC Rules, under which the
equipment has been authorized.

5 With more than 20 dB of coaxial cable loss, the amplifier will not turn on.

6 Maximum antenna transmit gain allowed for use with the RLX-500 amplifier is 15 dBi for point-to-point paths and 9
dBi for point-to-multipoint paths.
