Product Overview
The OM-CP-RFC1000-EXT is designed with a high powered transceiver that has a substantially long
transmission range, meaning better performance in occluded environments (ovens, refrigerators, etc.). This
OM-CP-RFC1000-EXT also includes an external antenna, allowing more flexibility with mounting positions in
both orientation and proximity to metal walls. This may be used as a repeater, or directly plugged into the PC.
Transmission Distance
The OM-CP-RFC1000-EXT transmits to other OM-CP-RFC1000-EXTs up to 4000 feet maximum typical
outdoors/line of sight, 1000 feet maximum typical indoors/urban. The OM-CP-RFC1000-EXT transmits to data
loggers up to 2000 feet maximum typical outdoors/line of sight, 500 feet maximum typical indoors/urban.
The OM-CP-RFC1000-EXT can connect to a maximum of 64 data loggers. The OM-CP-RFC1000-EXT transmits
on a frequency of 2.405GHz - 2.475 GHz.
Operating Environment
The OM-CP-RFC1000-EXT is rated for use in an environment with temperatures from -20°C to 85°C and a
humidity range of 0% to 95% RH non-condensing. The OM-CP-RFC1000-EXT is rated IP40 and is protected
against solids that are greater than 1mm in size. This device is not water resistant.
LEDs
The red LED indicates that the device has power. The green LED will blink when communicating with other
Omega devices.

Deploying and Activating Devices
1. Plug the OM-CP-RFC1000-EXT into the USB port on the base station computer.
(Additional OM-CP-
RFC1000-EXTs can be used as repeaters to transmit over greater distances)
2. If using multiple OM-CP-RFC1000-EXTs plug each one into a wall outlet in the desired locations.
(If
transmitting over a distance greater than 1000 feet indoors or 4000 feet outdoors or there are walls/obstacles/
corners that need to be maneuvered around, set up additional OM-CP-RFC1000-EXTs as needed.)
3. Verify that the data loggers are in wireless transmission mode.
(See Channel Programming steps above)
On a Windows PC, launch the Omega data logger software program. All active data loggers will be listed
in the software showing that the device(s) are recognized.
4. To activate the data loggers, click on one to highlight, then click the
Claim
icon, and then click the
Start
icon. Do this for each logger in the list that needs to be activate.
