System Architecture & RF Compatibility Overview
The SOLT SB6-6PBK (also referenced as SB66PBKWH / KT Automation SKU KTI040120SLT6PBK) operates on the standard 433 MHz / 434 MHz industrial radio frequency band utilizing Frequency Shift Keying (FSK) and Gaussian Frequency Shift Keying (GFSK) digital modulation. With an internal omnidirectional PCB antenna delivering 360-degree transmission at an RF output power rating of up to 10 mW, the transmitter reliably communicates with downstream SOLT receiving equipment across nominal operating distances of 100 to 150 meters in line of sight (up to 200 meters in open unobstructed conditions).
Because the unit employs SOLT digital signaling protocols, each of its 6 configurable push buttons can be independently mapped to broadcast designated digital alerts across simultaneous endpoints. This multi-channel coordination enables seamless integration into commercial restaurant kitchen expediting stations, hospital nurse call networks, warehouse dispatching hubs, and industrial service coordination workflows.
Compatible Mobile Wearables: SOLT Wrist Pagers
The SB6-6PBK transmitter is fully compatible with SOLT wearable staff alert units, providing discrete, mobile notification directly to roaming personnel. Supported receiver hardware includes:
- SOLT SP7 Series Wrist Watch Pagers: Alphanumeric and numeric display wrist pagers receive individual button calls configured for designated personnel (e.g., individual waiter dispatch or assigned attendant paging).
- SOLT SP9 Series Wrist Watch Pagers: Advanced multi-line wearable pagers capable of receiving multi-character caller IDs and service alerts triggered by individual keys on the 6-button panel.
Central Display Integration: SOLT LED Panels
For collective workflow monitoring and visibility across common work areas, the transmitter integrates natively with centralized display receivers:
- SOLT SM3 Series LED Multi-Digit Display Receiver Panels: The SB6-6PBK registers seamlessly with single-panel and multi-panel SM3 installations. Calls initiated from any of the 6 push buttons instantly populate assigned numeric or alphanumeric station IDs on the receiver screen.
- Multi-Display Cascading: Facilities utilizing multiple supervisor stations can pair a single SB6-6PBK unit to trigger several SM3 display panels situated across separate preparation, dispatch, or supervisory zones simultaneously.
Environmental Signaling & Corridor Light Integration
In clinical, healthcare, or hospitality settings requiring visual over-door alerts, the transmitter interfaces directly with external light indicator systems:
- SOLT SL5 Series Corridor Lamps: Wireless signaling integration allows specific button actuations to illuminate corresponding indicator lights outside patient rooms or private dining suites.
- SOLT SL6 Series Door Lights: Multi-color and multi-status over-door visual beacons can be configured to switch status upon signal broadcast from the SB6-6PBK call panel.
Hand Unit and Cord Extension Compatibility
For installations where operators or patients require remote actuation without pressing the faceplate directly, the transmitter accommodates external pendant hand controls via designated sub-assembly connection ports:
- Compatible Handsets: Fully compatible with SOLT 1 PSR, 2 PSR, and 3 PSR remote calling handsets.
- Interconnection Cables: Operates with optional straight cables as well as flexible spiral extension cords to support bedside or workstation reach.
Coverage Extension & PC Logging Modules
Large-scale industrial plants, multi-story hospitality venues, or environments with heavy RF-attenuating metal infrastructure can expand transmission range using complementary hardware:
- SOLT SR5-BPR RF Signal Repeaters: In facilities where structural walls or heavy commercial stainless steel barriers diminish signal propagation, the SR5-BPR repeater module receives, amplifies, and retransmits 433 MHz / 434 MHz FSK/GFSK packets to bridge extended architectural distances.
- SOLT SR5-MPR Wireless PC Interface Module: Enables direct connection between the wireless transmitter network and centralized facility management computers for digital call logging, timestamped service monitoring, and operational analytics.
