La Crosse Technology WS-2510 manual Range, Repeater for range increase

Page 26

Rotate the weather station a little if required, and if reception is bad, locate it away from electric motors, electrical machines, televisions, computer monitors and large metal surfaces.

To facilitate commissioning you can initially locate the sensors in the vicinity of the base unit (at least 6 feet or 2 m distance). In this way you can check the correct transmission of data by the sensor.

6.Range

The free field range, i.e. the range of the line of sight contact between the sensor and the receiver is 300 feet or 100 m under optimum conditions. Walls and even reinforced concrete can be penetrated, however it will reduce the range. A reduced range can have the following causes:

-High frequency interference of all kinds

-Buildings of all types or vegetation

-The range of the wind sensor in particular can be affected by metal roofs or roof insulation made from aluminum laminated glass wool.

-The distance of the sensor or receiver from conductive surfaces or objects (even to the human body or the ground) has an effect on the transmission characteristics and therefore the range.

-Wide band interference in built up areas can reach levels that reduce the signal- noise ratio throughout the frequency band, which reduces the range.

-Devices working on adjacent frequencies can also affect the receiver.

-Badly shielded PCs can radiate into the receiver and reduce the range.

7.Repeater for range increase

Ranges that are reduced by building parameters can be compensated for by a special repeater developed for weather stations.

The battery-driven repeater equipped with sensor and receiver receives the data of all sensors and re-transmits it with a slight time delay. Housed within a watertight housing the repeater is suitable for both indoor and outdoor mounting.

8.Maintenance and servicing information

Protect the device against dust and moisture. Never clean it with chemical cleaning materials, use only a soft, dry linen cloth.
