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 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
network of weather stations by linking the chain of repeaters to up to 8 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 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.
