2.0 Principles of Operation
PowerCom Mini uses the latest in 2.4 GHz
wireless technology to turn any meeting into a
dynamic interactive experience for each
participant without having to deal with a
nightmare of cables and connectors
All PowerCom® hardware uses Fleetwood’s
patented technology, which is unique in
marketplace to provide two-way communication
with the keypads. This design ensures that no
responses are missed by requiring a keypad to
retransmit the user’s response until it is
properly received by the Base Station. The
design also allows the system to refuse to
acknowledge any invalid entries. This is clearly
superior to other technologies using one –way
radio or infrared, which do not provide
acknowledgement to the keypad when its entry
is received and do not have any way of rejecting
invalid entries.
Figure 1. System Diagram
The Base Station is the control center for the
system and operates according to commands
issued by the application software. The Base
Station can be set to any of the 75 available
channels through the software. Each Base
Station can process responses from up to 500
keypads.
A radio frequency packet is continuously sent
out by the base station when the unit is
powered on. Each base station’s packet can only
be heard by keypads that have been set to the
same channel
3.0 System Description and
Setup
3.1 Room Layout
Figure 2. Typical Room Layout
3.2 Placement of the PowerCom Mini
System
The Base Station can be located anywhere in the
area where the keypads are to be used.
PowerCom Mini keypads can operate in a room
up to 650’ x 650’feet (WRS970-DSIH or
WRS970DSI) in size. Despite a robust
communication system, walls and some other
2.4 GHz devices can moderately to severely
limit the system’s overall performance. If
coverage of a larger area necessary, elevation
of the Base Station or centering in room can
usually improve the reception of the keypad
signals.
