WiEPOut™ T1
WiEPOut™ T1 wirelessly mirrors switch states and DC signals between two locations — replacing up to 5 wired signal paths with a single encrypted link. It operates without any facility infrastructure and has no dependency on Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. By operating in the 915 MHz band, it reaches farther and resists interference better than higher frequency 2.4 GHz solutions.
Each link consists of two identical units — what you wire into one side appears on the other.
Key Features
- No configuration required. Attach cables, power on, linking is automatic
- 915 MHz signal for superior range and reliability vs Wi-Fi and Bluetooth
- Secure AES-256 encrypted communication
- 2 dry-contact switch input/outputs (1-way)
- 3 PinSync™ DC-level input/outputs — relay a high/low state in either direction (2-way)
- Solid-state switching — no mechanical relays or moving parts
- USB interface for monitoring and automation
Compliance
- Pending FCC Part 15, Subpart B compliant — tested per ANSI C63.4
- Contains transmitter module FCC ID: Z4T-LORA-E5
Use Cases
WiEPOut T1 is designed to switch DC loads up to 48V directly. For AC loads, use it to control the relay or control path that switches the load.

Frequently Asked Questions
Wireless relays, contact closure, remote switches, and how WiEPOut T1 fits.
Is WiEPOut a wireless relay / contact-closure pair? +
Yes. Wire a signal into one unit and it shows up on the other—same job as an industrial wireless relay or contact-closure kit. No Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or plant network; just an encrypted 915 MHz link between two identical boxes.
Can it control a pump, gate, or motor remotely? +
Yes. Put a switch, pushbutton, or PLC output on one side; the far side follows into that equipment’s control circuit. It drives DC loads up to 48 V. For AC, use it to pull in a contactor or control relay—not the line voltage itself.
Can I skip trenching cable between two buildings or across a yard? +
That’s what it’s built for. Power each end with 12 V DC and let the radio carry the signals. One pair replaces up to five wired paths: two dry-contact channels plus three PinSync DC lines.
Will it work as a wireless e-stop or machine interlock? +
It can carry an interlock or e-stop signal when you can’t run conduit. It is not a certified functional-safety e-stop (no SIL/PLd rating). Use it only where your risk assessment allows a non-rated wireless path—not as a stand-in for a safety-rated chain.
Can a panel switch or pushbutton start something at a distance? +
Yes. Wire the switch as a dry contact on one unit; the other closes into the starter, coil, or control input. Momentary or maintained—the far side simply follows the near side.
Does it need Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or a network? +
No. The two units talk directly over 915 MHz. No cloud, no SSID, no pairing. Desktop software (REST, WebSocket, VISA/SCPI) is optional if you want automation or monitoring—basic mirroring doesn’t need it.
Why 915 MHz instead of 2.4 GHz? +
Lower frequency usually means better range and wall penetration than crowded 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Radio profiles let you favor faster response or a tougher link, depending on the site.
How many channels are there? +
Two opto-isolated dry-contact channels and three PinSync DC lines (3.3–48 V). That’s up to five mirrored paths per link, with solid-state switching.
Can a PLC or LabVIEW control it? +
Yes. A PLC can drive the dry-contact inputs like any other contact-closure bridge. For test systems, the companion service adds REST, WebSocket, and VISA/SCPI (TCP 5025) for LabVIEW, NI-MAX, and similar tools—or talk UART at 115200 8N1.
What’s the difference between a link kit and a single unit? +
A kit is two matched units—everything you need for one link. A single unit is a spare, a replacement, or an add-on. Every working link needs two powered ends.
