HCS-4100MT Series Wireless Voting System Operation Instructions
HCS-4100MTB is the control main unit of the fully digital wireless
voting system, each main unit can control as many as 32 RF
transceivers HCS-4391. The system can be expanded to support up
to 10000 wireless voting units.
HCS-4391 RF transceiver communicates with wireless voting unit
HCS-4390/4395 for wireless data transmission within the radiation
coverage.
Not only can this system work alone as a wireless voting system,
it can also carry out more functions in combination with the PC.
The system is widely used in government offices, hotels, convention
centres, especially suitable for those conference venues where it is
hard to route clusters of cables here and there.

System Features
High security, confidentiality and accuracy: in the process of data
transmission, multilevel error correction and encrypted coding are
performed to prevent the clandestine interception.. An exclusive
and unique ID number is assigned to each voting unit before they
go out of the factory. Before the meeting, the voting unit should be
authenticated, or it is invalid for the meeting. This ensures the
accuracy of the voting results, in the meanwhile, intentional cheating
and mis operation by unauthorized personnel will be stopped
effectively.
Excellent immunity to interference the status of frequency points
in the available frequency band can be checked online, whether they
are occupied or interfered, even whether a certain area is a signal
blind area can be detected. Depending on the status, the working
frequency points of HCS-4391, its optimum installing location and the
number of it can be set. At most there are 24 frequency points
available. Frequency range: 430.0MHz-434.6MHz
