via a repeater, the repeater station must also be installed. Make sure the correct
RF ID has been configured in the RF500M that is being deployed in the remote
field station or repeater location.
Following is the order in which a general RF field station should be installed.
A repeater station is installed in the same order.
1. Tripod or tower
2. Enclosure and datalogger
3. Antenna - Orient correctly; remember direction and polarization
4. Solar Panel
5. Power Supply
6. Sensors
7. RF Modem - Configure the RF ID according to the site map
8. Radio - Make sure to connect to RF Modem, to power supply, and turn on
power supply
3.3.6 MD485 Multidrop Interface
Campbell Scientific’s MD485 is an intelligent RS-485 interface that permits a
PC to address and communicate with one or more dataloggers over a distance
of 4000 ft. The distance between the datalogger and computer can be increased
by combining it with a phone modem, Ethernet link, or spread spectrum radio.
