Section 2. Assembling the
Radiotelemetry Network
This section provides a logical order for RF network assembly and deployment. Details of
specific components in the system are described in Section 3 “Radiotelemetry Network
Components.” Section 3 is cross-referenced throughout this assembly section.
2.1 Final Layout
The initial locations of the base, field, and repeater stations have likely been
determined already. Locate RF stations on an area map, preferably a
topographic map. Draw a line along every communication path. Each field
station must have a path connecting it back to the base station. No path can be
going through a mountain or large obstacle; this would negate the line-of-sight
requirement. A station may need to be moved or a repeater station may need to
be added if this requirement is not met.
At each station there is an RF modem. Each modem requires a unique ID
number (Station ID). The number may range from 0 to 255. On the map, label
the base station as 254. Label the remaining stations with different ID numbers.
Later, each modem will be set with the corresponding ID number. The Station
ID, similar to a phone number, allows the base station to call many different
field stations.
2.2 Install Base Station
2.2.1 Base Station Hardware
The major component of the base station is the RF310B Base Station. Refer to
Section 3.5 for location drawings and a description of the RF310B Base
Station.
1. Remove the top of the RF310B by unscrewing the four screws on the sides.
2. Remove the radio and its cable from its mounting bracket. Mount the radio
directly onto the bottom of the RF310B. Secure the BNC connector from
the radio's cable to its hole on the back of the RF310B. See Figure 3-7 for
assistance.
3. Connect the radio to 12 V, ground, and the RF Modem (RF310M). The
RF modem is located behind the front panel above the "POWER ON"
light. See Figure 3-8 for assistance.
Radio transmission without an antenna connected can
damage radio.
4. Mount the base station antenna in a location that is higher than any
surrounding buildings or obstacles. Refer to Section 3.3 for more
information on mounting the antenna.
