The Wireless Repeater receives data from any DavisTalk™-compatible trans-
mitter and re-transmits it to any DavisTalk-compatible receiver. The repeater
extends the transmission range and improves reception between the transmit-
ter and the receiver.
Each repeater has a transmitting and receiving range of up to 400' (120 m)
depending upon the terrain. The repeater can listen for up to eight 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 allows you to put together your weather system in a number of
different ways. The most common setup is to install the repeater between a
transmitter and a receiver to improve reception. You can also install a chain of
up to eight repeaters to carry the transmitter’s signal over a longer distance, or
around obstacles. Or, you can establish a network of weather stations by linking
the chain of repeaters to up to eight different wireless stations.
This manual describes 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 eight repeaters in succession to
increase the range between a single transmitter and one or more receiv-
ers.
✦ And the third section, “Network Installation (Multiple Transmitters)” on
page 12, discusses setting up a complex network of transmitters, repeat-
ers, and receivers.
These setup instructions apply whether you have a solar-powered or an
AC-powered repeater.
