Reply® Solo Handheld Base Stations from OptionFinder®
Technical Specifications for Reply® Solo (Model WRS960X)
Did you ever want to conduct a survey fast without a PC?
Are you sometimes in a location that's inconvenient to set up a video display?
Or are there places that just don't have electricity available?
If so, consider this new Reply® product. It's ideal for impromptu meetings on the production
floor, a school field trip, a community meeting, a church study group, a youth sports team, or
any other gathering at which you'd like to capture more useful feedback than the typical raised
hands or loud voices usually provide.
Description for Reply® Solo Handheld Wireless Base Station (Model WRS960X)
The Reply® Solo Model WRS960X is a compact, handheld base station that processes
multiple choice responses from a Reply® cordless response system’s keypads using the
Reply® (Worldwide) communications format. Reply® Solo is a unique product because a
separate PC and polling software are not required to conduct an audience polling session.
Reply® Solo allows audience response activities to be conducted in virtually any location –
indoors or outdoors – without the need for electricity, computers, and special projection
equipment. However, if those additional devices are available, Reply® Solo’s capabilities and
value increase. A Reply® Solo solution is intended as a supplement to, not a replacement for,
traditional group audience response methods that commonly employ a PC, polling software,
and large format display devices during large group and/or complex polling activities. Each
audience response method serves its purpose…and the purpose of the Reply® Solo system is
to take interaction anywhere.
Technical Specifications for Reply® Solo (Model WRS960X)
Enclosure
Compact enclosure constructed of rugged ABS plastic.
Dimensions: 6"L x 2.5"W x 1"H.
Weight: 5 ounces (with batteries installed).
Operator Interface
Keyboard:
Consists of 23 keys placed in operating zones. Keys are also shaped and colored to further
distinguish their purposes.
“Major function” keys (Main, Query, Graph, Grid) are shaped and colored differently than the
other input keys
“Soft” keys directly below the LCD are used to select menu navigation functions displayed on
the LCD.
“Numeric” input keys plus Power On/Off and Help keys.
“Polling” keys (Start and Stop) for voting activity control.
Display:
Large 132 x 64 graphics LCD displays a variety of information.
Shows impromptu question type options.
Displays predefined questionnaire text.
Graphs bar chart results of group’s response to questions.
Identifies right/wrong/abstain responses of each participant.
Additional displays include help menu, system configuration, and system diagnostics.
[Optional] TV Output using NTSC and PAL/SECAM formats.
Permits connection to television, monitor, or projector.
Presents a mirrored image of the handheld Base Station’s display to the audience.
Video cable included.
Questionnaire Capabilities
Supports up to 99 multiple choice questions per session.
Impromptu questions require no preparation.
Select from multiple choice formats including A-E, 1-5, Yes/No, Yes/No/Abstain, Yes/No, Don’t
Know, Agree/Disagree (various scales), True/False, and “soft key”.
Predefined questions require a PC software utility program* (purchased separately) to format
questions.
Up to 12 lines of text, 20 characters per line.
Predefined questions are loaded onto the Base Station via a USB flash drive (“USB stick”)**.
USB stick is not included. See Reply® Solo operators manual for a list of supported drives.
Questionnaire results may be viewed as:
A graph of group response.
Each bar graphed can show number of respondents and percentage of the total group.
A grid of individual responses.
Grid shows whether individual keypads responded, and if so, each one’s response selection
and its correct/incorrect status.
Questionnaire results are stored in the Handheld Base Station’s memory. They may also be
saved to a USB stick**.
Saved results may be transferred to a PC for further analysis and reporting functions by
available software utility programs*.
RF Technology
Two-way radio design uses eligible license-free/license-exempt frequencies to:
Process user inputs from Wireless Keypads.
Send control information to Wireless Keypads.
Transmit acknowledgments of entries to each keypad.
Employs a Fleetwood-engineered 2.4 GHz frequency hopping spread spectrum (FHSS)
transceiver.
FHSS offers excellent range, immunity to interference, and security.
Communicates using a patented and proprietary radio protocol.
Creates a secure communications network between the Base Station and its associated
Wireless Keypads.
Wireless Keypad user entries are acknowledged when received by the Base Station. This
message acknowledgment is just one of the many patented features of Reply® systems.
Permits Reply® systems to operate reliably in the presence of other RF devices (WLANs,
PDAs, phones, etc.).
Integrated error checking discriminates system signals from all other RF traffic to ensure data
accuracy and enhance security.
15 channel identities are available to provide installation flexibility.
High performance internal antenna is protected by the enclosure.
Range
System is designed for 300 foot range during open air operation.
Room geometry and RF propagation characteristics will influence actual range experienced.
Speed
50 keypads can be polled in ½ second.
Power Supply
Powered by 3 x AAA replaceable alkaline batteries (not included).
Up to 40 hours of continuous operation.
Battery level is indicated on display.
Communications Security
A proprietary response verification protocol integral to the radio design provides a high degree
of signal security.
Frequency hopping and proprietary data communications are additional deterrents to
clandestine interception.
Scalability
Firmware resides in high performance microprocessor chips that can be reprogrammed to
facilitate easy upgrade during the life of the product.
Adding keypads to an existing system requires them to be set to unused addresses. No
change is required on the Base Station when adding keypads of the same channel.
Compliance and Patents
FCC, IC, CE certified. Call for details regarding these and other regulatory certifications.
U.S. Patent Nos. Re. 35,449 and 5,724,357. European Patent No. EP 0 697 773. Other US
and foreign patents and patents pending.
Warranty
2 YEAR (limited warranty, factory parts and labor). Call for details.
