How far can I run my digital display?

If your data loggers/Master Control Unit (MCU) was manufactured in 1996 or later, the display can go at least 600 to 700 feet.

AWS data loggers manufactured from 1993-95 tend to lose power over distance. These models can go up to 50 feet from the logger to the display by itself. If you wish to extend the distence, you would need additional equipment. From 50 feet to 100 feet, a "Serial Power Booster" is needed and if going more than 100 feet from logger to display, a "Serial Line Driver" is needed.
