More information on Qtech system

 
Here is a copy of a slide out of our powerpoint with a more detailed breakdown on the QTech.
Find more products and information at the link in the slide.
 
 

Installing of a QTech system

This is a QTech. A QTech is a wireless control system for operating controls remotely. Plan of attack was to install one in our classroom to operate our inverter and the heaters at this time. The other one is to be installed in the SSB building so we can operate the inverter remotely.
