These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a res- idential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment on and off, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: •Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. •Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. •Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. •Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. Changes or modification not expressly approved in writing by Davis Instruments may void the warranty and void the user's authority to operate this equipment. FCC ID: IRDWW765Y IC: 3788A-765Y EC EMC Compliance This product complies with the essential protection requirements of the EC EMC Directive 89/336/EC, as tested to the following directives: •ETSI EN 300 220 •ETSI EN 301 489 This device has been designed to operate with an antenna having a maximum gain of 11 dBi. Antennas having a higher gain are strictly prohibited per regulations of Industry Canada. The required antenna impedance is 50 ohms. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be chosen that the equiv- alent isotropically radiated power (EIRP) is not more than that required for successful communication. 1 Welcome! The Vantage Pro2 ™ Long Range Repeater can be used with any Vantage Pro2 wireless transmitter station and re-transmits the information to a Vantage Pro2 compatible receiver (Vantage Pro2 console or Envoy ® ). The Long Range Repeater works in much the same way as the Vantage Pro2 wireless repeaters, but extends the range and distance between a repeater and a receiver by up to 10 times that of the Vantage Pro2 wireless repeater. Long Repeater Manual Overview This manual provides additions information specific to the installation and use of the Long Range Repeaters and is intended to be used in conujunction with the Wireless Repeater Installation Manual. The table below shos the location of the information required to install and maintain your Long Range Repeaters: Section/ProcedureIn This Manual In the Wireless Repeater Manual Components and HardwareX Additional Antenna Components and HardwareX Repeater Board ContentsXX Tools for SetupX Wireless Repeater IntroductionX Repeater Configurations/ArchitectureX Applying PowerX Single Repeater InstallationX Advanced Repeater InstallationX Mounting the Long Range Wireless Repeater and Antennas X Connecting External Antennas to the RepeaterX Console and WeatherLink ConfigurationX Long Range Repeater TroubleshootingX Long Range Repeater SpecificationX 2 Long Range Repeater Components and Hardware In addition to the wireless repeater enclosure and hardware, the long range repeater comes equipped with custom-selected external antennas that can be used separately on in comibination of one another.

Mounting the Wireless Repeater The antenna configuration and wireless repeater can be mounted on a pole at designated location. Use the brovided U-bolts for the wireless repeater and the U-bolts provided for each antenna type to install them all to a pole. . Installing a Repeater\Antenna(s) on a Pole Refer to the following illustrations to install the repeater and antennas on a pole: 1. Place the repeater enclosure at a low place on the pole to provide enough room on the top of the pole to mount the necessary antennas. 2. While holding the shelter against the pole close to the bottom, place a U-bolt around the pole and through the two holes on at the top of the shelter. 3. Place a flat washer, a lock washer and a hex nut on each of the bolt ends. 4. Using an adjustable wrench or 7/16" wrench, tighten the nuts. 5. Place the second U-bolt around the pole and through the two holes at the bottom of the shelter. 6. Put a flat washer, a lock washer, and a hex nut on each bolt end, and tighten the hex nuts. Depending on the types of antennas selected, use the illustrations on the follow- ing pages to assemble and mount your selected antennas: Flat Washer Lock Washer Hex Nut U-Bolt 5 Omni and Yagi Antenna Combination Assembly Omni Antenna Yagi Antenna 5/16" U-Bolts Flat W…
