Increasing the wireless range of the loggers with repeaters when patrolling (in Professional mode only)

Step Description

5 Apply the Start button.

The logger and repeater are connected.

The vertical blue line in the bar indicator shows the strength currently of the

wireless connection between the logger and repeater.

• Green area

• Yellow area

…

good connection

poor connection

Look for a suitable place around the installed logger for fitting the repeater.

When doing so, keep an eye on the signal strength indicator on the

Commander, or watch the status LED on the repeater:

• Lights up green

• Lights up yellow

• Flashes blue

…

good connection

poor connection

no connection to the logger

7 When you have found a suitable position for the repeater, apply the Accept

button on the Commander.

Result: The logger and repeater are now “paired” with each other.

Any communication with the logger now automatically takes place via the

repeater.

This is the case until the repeater is switched back off.

When installing the repeater, you should observe the following:

• The wireless signal between the logger and repeater should be as strong as

possible (green); if the connection is poor (yellow) interference can easily occur,

causing the read-out to fail.

• The place of installation should be somewhat elevated, e.g. at a height of 2 m

on a lamp post, or similar.

• The repeater should not be too easily accessible, to prevent theft or vandalism.

• The repeater must not be a nuisance to anyone or infringe any property laws.

• While measurement takes place, no impairment of the wireless connection

should be expected due to external influences.

You can, for example, attach the repeater to a street lamp, house wall or, if necessary,

to a tree. To do so, use the supplied cable ties, for example, or any other form of

fastening that does not cause damage.
