Wireless Pulse Link

PRL-1600CS

The SSI PRL-1600CS Wireless Pulse Link is the solar-compatible variant of our 4th Generation PRL-1600C system. It is identical to the PRL-1600C in all radio, channel, and pulse transmission capabilities, but substitutes the standard AC-powered PRT-16C Transmitter Base Unit with the PRT-16CS — a low-voltage 12VDC transmitter base designed for operation with SSI’s SPS-2 or other solar power supplies. This makes the PRL-1600CS ideal for remote meter locations where 120VAC line power is unavailable at the transmitter end.

The PRL-1600CS transmits up to four Form A (2-wire) or two Form C (3-wire) KYZ pulse channels up to 5,000 feet line-of-sight using 900MHz FHSS technology across 6 selectable channels. The receiver end (PRR-1600C) remains the same as the standard PRL-1600C system and continues to accept 120–277VAC or +12VDC power input.

Product Highlights

By pairing the PRL-1600CS with SSI’s SPS-2 Solar Power Supply, utilities and energy service contractors can install a fully self-powered wireless pulse link system at virtually any meter location — eliminating the need to run AC power conduit and significantly reducing installation cost. The 12VDC PRT-16CS transmitter base draws extremely low power, making it well suited for extended battery-backed solar operation.

All system features of the PRL-1600C apply: 10-second interval accuracy mode, factory pairing, AES encryption, 6-channel FHSS, and color-coded boards for installation clarity.

Features

The SSI PRL-1600CS is the solar-ready variant of the PRL-1600C wireless pulse link, with a 12VDC transmitter base for operation with SSI solar power supplies
  • 12VDC transmitter base (PRT-16CS) — replaces standard AC base with a low-voltage DC unit designed for solar and battery-powered operation.
  • Compatible with SSI SPS-2 Solar Power Supply — enables fully self-powered installation at remote meter locations without AC wiring.
  • Up to 5,000-foot line-of-sight range — 900MHz FHSS with 6 selectable channels; same radio performance as standard PRL-1600C.
  • 4 Form A or 2 Form C pulse channels — supports four 2-wire or two 3-wire KYZ pulse channels across the wireless link.
  • 10-second interval accuracy mode — pulse count collected, transmitted, and verified every 10 seconds for high-accuracy delivery.
  • Factory-paired transmitter and receiver — system arrives pre-paired; no pairing procedure required at installation.
  • AES encryption — secure FHSS communication scheme protects pulse data integrity.
