Radio-Links overcome the problem of connecting switches with cables.Wireless Switch Radio Link

  • No Tangling in fingers or wheels
  • Easier to mount on wheelchairs
  • The user can be further away from the device

With these new switch Radio-Links, you can now make wireless connections to computers, communication aids, toys, environmental controls, and many other devices.

Who would want to use them?
Everyone who uses
switches! Radio-Links remove the need for wires, so the switches can be operated from anywhere within 12 feet (4m), even through obstacles such as people and furniture. Unlike infrared switches, there is no need for direct line of sight.

Will it work with my software and switches?
Yes. The radio system only replaces the cables of a switch setup. This means that any standard switch can be used, and the switches work with all PC switch software that use a standard switch interface, including Writing with Symbols, Clicker and of course the
Sensory Software Programs.

It is not possible for use to test every available hardware and software configuration, so if you have a setup we haven't seen before, the Radio-Link may be returned for a refund within 30 days.

What do I get?
Two transmitters, 1-1/2" x 1-1/2" x 1/2" (38 x 38 x 12 mm), which may be secured close to the switch—for example, under a table, in a cushion, or on a wheelchair. Velcro is ideal for this!

One receiver, 5-3/16" x 2-1/2" x 5/8" (132 x 64 x 16 mm), which is connected to the computer.

How do they work?
Each of the transmitters has a 3.5 mm jack, allowing any
standard switch to be connected. They run from "button cell" batteries, which should last for about one year and can be obtained locally.

The receiver is connected either to the RS232 serial port of the computer or the sockets of an existing switch adapter. The receiver requires no battery or external power supply.

Each set of Radio-Links has a unique code, (printed on the receiver), so you can have many people using Radio-Links in the same room without interference. They are also resistant to interference from other radio emitters such as mobile phones and computers.

Universal Version
The Universal Version of the Switch Radio Link uses an internal rechargeable battery. It is ideal for communicating aids, environmental controls, toys, etc. Connections to the devices are made by 2 cables with 3.5 mm plugs. For computer applications, use the USB or Serial versions.
