Current Applications 
The RC01 is currently used in the Henderson area of Power New Zealand to montor pilot hot water heating relays. Power NZ are also using these RTUs for capacitor bank switching for voltage compensation and line fault indications at Te Aroha. Further units are being installed at Te Aroha and Bay of Plenty to control Cooper KFE style reclosers. TransAlta NZ Ltd are using an RC01 to control a line recloser and several others for general data acquisition. 

Features and Development 
The RC01 software is constantly being enhanced with new features. 

RC01 options include: 

Access control interface

Accumulator Input

Remote Status word support

Scan-in communications

MCD Inputs

Configurable logic functions

Daughter boards for expanded control outputs and temperature measurement are available

Please refer to current price list for pricing options. Prices can be significantly reduced for volume orders. The Maxon range of synthesised data radios are compatible, and can be fitted prior to delivery. Most other data radios can be interfaced. Maxon manufacture a 25 watt unit that is easily interfaced. Linear amplifiers for VHF (25 W) and UHF (15 W) are very economically priced to boost the standard Maxon data radio power output.
