The GRACO 257464 is a radio frequency (RF) transceiver designed to facilitate wireless communication between the Matrix PC and other hardware components in the Matrix System. It is typically constructed from durable plastics and metals for industrial environments. Its primary function is to enable reliable data transmission for fluid inventory control and equipment monitoring within GRACO’s Matrix fluid management systems.

Key Features:

• RF Transceiver
• Matrix 3.0 (257464)
• Compatible with GRACO Matrix Basic, Pro, and Premier systems
• FCC, Industry Canada (IC), C-Tick, CE (for Matrix 3.0 systems)
• Supports up to 150 RF devices per transceiver (depending on system type)
• Centralized communication hub for Matrix components
• Easy to install and relocate for optimal RF coverage
• Reliable wireless data transmission in industrial environments
• Display shows assigned Transceiver ID for easy identification
• Multiple connection options: USB, RS422, power inlet

Applications:
Used in GRACO Matrix fluid management systems for wireless transmission and reception of meter and tank level information, enabling real-time monitoring and control of fluid dispensing and inventory in industrial, automotive, and manufacturing facilities.

Installation Notes:

• Using genuine GRACO transceivers ensures compatibility, reliability, and optimal performance within the Matrix system.
• Locate transceivers centrally within the facility for best RF coverage
• Temporarily install with double-faced tape to test optimal placement before permanent mounting
• Connect to the Matrix PC using RS422 cable or USB as required
• Ensure all meters and devices are within the specified RF range (unobstructed: 300–500 ft; obstructed: 250–300 ft)
• Perform RF tests after installation to verify communication with all devices
• Train personnel on system operation and troubleshooting
• Regularly check for RF communication issues and relocate transceivers if necessary
• Keep firmware and software up to date
• Follow GRACO’s installation and maintenance guidelines for long-term reliability
