REPEATER
For use with LaCrosse Technology's WS2010,
WS2210 & WS7015
Despite
the initially high transmission range of the Remote Controlled Weather Sensors
of up to 328 feet (100 m), in some cases, limitations of these transmission
ranges may occur due to external interference such as steel/concrete
constructions, radio waves, computer monitors, electronic household products,
etc. The use of the Weather Sensors within large areas such as
horticulture facilities may also show ineffective transmission ranges.
In such a case, the Repeater provides the solution. It multiplies the
Remote Controlled Weather Sensor's transmission range by storing and
re-transmitting the data transmitted by the Weather Sensor(s) to the
Professional Wireless Weather Station (base receiver). In doing so,
transmission ranges (also by use of several Repeaters) of several hundred
feet/meters can easily be achieved and interference from electrical devices
operating on the 433MHz signal frequency or interference from surrounding
environment can thus be minimized.
When using several Repeaters (cascaded
operation), there is a transmission time delay caused by re-transmission of the
same frequency signal to the next Repeater and so on. If multiple
Repeaters are in use, the time delay of re-transmission will be longer. In
addition, the time delay transmission must be extended to avoid signal cross
over transmission from the Weather Sensor(s). If only one Repeater is
used, there will be no time delay.
Transmission Distances and Interferences:
 | The Repeater operates in the 433 MHz range
which is also used by other radio transmission services. Units
operating at identical or close by frequencies may therefore cause
limitations in operation and transmission range.
|  | The given transmission range of up to 328 feet
(100 m) pertains to the distance over open field, i.e. the transmission
distance at sight contact between Repeater and the base receiver unit.
During practical use, however, walls, ceilings, etc. between the Repeater
and the base receiver will reduce the transmission ranges. |
Further causes for reduced transmission
distances:
 | High frequency interference of any kind.
|  | Construction and vegetation of any kind.
|  | Conducting matter leading to field distortions
or field attenuation may be in the near vicinity of the units and/or within
or close to the path of transmission.
|  | The distance between the Repeater or base
receiver unit and conducting surfaces or matters (also the ground or the
human body) will influence the radiation characteristics of antennas and
thus their transmitting ranges.
|  | Wide band interference in urban areas may
reach levels reducing signal to noise ratios and thus limiting transmission
ranges.
|  | Insufficient shielding of personal computers
may influence receivers and thus reduce transmission distances. |
