Introduction
The 2635A-RF900USB 900 MHz RF USB Modem
(referred to as “the Modem”) is a radio-frequency
transceiver that, used together with the 2635A-RF900
Serial RS-232 Modem, creates a wireless link
between Fluke Hydra Series Data Loggers and a
computer (PC) running Hydra application software.
Note
The modem operates in the 900 MHz
frequency range and is approved by the FCC
for use in the United States. Operation in
other countries may violate local regulations.
When operating outside the United States,
check with the appropriate governing agency
in the host country prior to Modem operation.
This instruction sheet assumes familiarity with the
Hydra software and Hydra Series Data Logger
