Kar-Tech’s DUET Radio Receiver puts maximum capability into a single rugged box, combining exceptional processing power with industry-leading I/O density for demanding wireless control applications. The DUET combines advanced wireless communication, extensive output capacity and rugged durability into a high-performance control platform for complex mobile hydraulic and industrial equipment.
The radio receiver runs on dual ARM processors with tons of horsepower. The DUET supports up to 48 configurable I/O. Its urethane-potted, low-profile enclosure protects against vibration, moisture and harsh environmental conditions.
Of the 48 digital outputs, two are available as current-regulated PWM, while 34 can be straight PWM without feedback. Analog and digital inputs can be configured as well. RS-232 capabilities allow for a variety of programming interfaces. CANbus communications and an optional display at the receiver are also available.
The DUET Radio Receiver delivers maximum I/O capacity and processing power in a compact, rugged package. Its flexible architecture, advanced communications and durable construction make it an ideal solution for complex equipment requiring precise wireless control.
