The Wireless Repeater receives data from a Wireless Weather Station sensor
array and re-transmits it to the console. The repeater serves to extend the
transmission range and improve reception between the sensor array’s
transmit-
ter
and the console’s
receiver
.
Each repeater has a transmitting and receiving range of between 100’ to 1500’
(30 to 450 m) depending upon the terrain. The repeater can listen for up to 8
different transmitter signals and can pass those signals on to another repeater
or to any number of receivers.
Note:
The Wireless Repeater operates on a low power frequency that does not require an FCC license.
The repeater’s flexibility allows you to put together your weather system in a
number of different ways. The most common setup is to install the repeater in
between a transmitter and a receiver to improve reception. Another possibility
is to install a
chain
of up to 8 repeaters to carry the transmitter’s signal over a
longer distance, or around obstacles. And a third option is to establish a
net-
work
of weather stations by linking the chain of repeaters to up to 8 different
wireless stations.
This manual lays out the three different setup options in separate sections
based on how many repeaters and transmitters you plan to install.
✦
The first section, “Single Transmitter, Single Repeater Installation” on page 3,
discusses the most common and simplest installation—that of one transmitter,
one repeater and one or more receivers.
✦
The second section, “Daisy-Chain Installation (Multiple Repeaters)” on page 10,
discusses daisy-chaining up to 8 repeaters in succession to increase the range
between a single transmitter and one or more receivers.
✦
And the third section, “Network Installation (Multiple Transmitters)” on page 12,
discusses setting up a complex network of transmitters, repeaters, and receivers.
These setup instructions apply whether you have a solar-powered or an AC-
powered repeater.
