[RE-wrenches] Wireless relays

[Kirk Herander]

Jason, I just successfully hooked up a a remote 915mhz RF circuit to
accomplish GTI disconnect in a AC coupled system when the backup generator
starts.
I think this is the discussion you are referring to. I’m on the road right
now but will post details including the source of the send/receive units
when I get back to a computer. It’s been working for over two weeks now
with no problems whatsoever.
