2. Installation 2.1 Parallel Decode Dataradio's proprietary patent-pending Parallel Decode(tm) technology combines Spatial Diversity and Smart Combining to provide increased sensitivity plus immunity to multipath fading. Even in the ab-sence of motion, the changing wavelengths inherent in frequency-hopping systems makes it possible for stationary sites to experience frequency-selective interference. Parallel Decode technology receives and continuously combines signals from two antennas a short distance apart, ensuring a more reliable link. The dual antenna connections also permit the use of a higher-gain antenna for the receiver. Full 1W transmit power can be used with up to 6 dBi antenna gain. Dual antenna ports also permit listening to a far distant site with a high- gain antenna while using an omni to serve local stations. The Parallel Decode receiver algorithm automatically and continually decodes sig-nals from both antennas. In special applications such as rotating machinery, dual antenna ports allow the use of cross-polarized antennas, automatically selecting the best signal regardless of the orientation of the machine. 2.2 Antennae Installation 2.2.1 Professional Installation & RF Exposure Compliance Requirements The HiPR-900 radiomodem is intended for use in the SCADA market. The HiPR-900 must be profession-ally installed and must ensure a minimum separation distance of more than 9.06 in. (23 cm) between the radiating structure and any person. An antenna mounted on a pole or tower is the typical installation and in rare instances, a 1/2-wave whip antenna is used. The HiPR-900 radiomodem uses low power radio frequency transmitter. The concentrated energy from an antenna may pose a health hazard. People should not be in front of the an-tenna when the transmitter is operating. RF Exposure The installer of this equipment must ensure the antenna is located or pointed such that it does not emit an RF field in excess of Health Canada limits for the general population. Recommended safety guidelines for the human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic energy are contained in the Canadian Safety Code 6 (available from Health Canada) and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Bulletin 65. Proper installation of the transceiver antenna of HiPR-900 products, as summarized in section 2.2.2 be-low, will result in user exposure substantially below the recommended limits for the general public. The HiPR-900 complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules and must be professionally installed. Operation must conform to the following two conditions: • This device may not cause harmful interference. • This device must accept any interference received including interference that may cause unde-sired operation of the device. Notes: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for com-pliance (in the country where used) could void the user's authority to operate the equip-ment. 120 40515-100a HiPR900 User Manual 13
2.2.2 Antenna Connection This equipment has been tested and approved with antennae having a maximum gain of 8.5 dB. Antenna with a higher gain are strictly prohibited (regulations of Industry Canada). The required antenna imped-ance is 50 ohms. To reduce potential radio interference, the antenna type and its gain should be chosen to ensure the effective isotropic radiated power (EIRP) is not more than required for successful communica-tion. FCC/IC Rule: The output power is not to exceed 1.0 watt (30 dBm) and the EIRP not to exceed 6 dBi gain (36dBm). A sample calculation is provided below. Referring to Figure 2: Sample Calculation: Yagi Antenna: 8.5 dBi, which exceeds 6 dBi gain by 2.5 dB Cable Loss: 1.5 dB HiPR-900 output initially set to 30 dBm (1 watt). (Initial output level) dBm - (excess antenna gain) dB + (cable loss) dB = (new power setting) dBm Therefore, the sample calculation becomes: 30dBm – 2.5 dB + 1.5dB = 29 dBm The HiPR-900 output must be reduced by 1 dB to 29 dBm. 29 dBm “T” = TX/RX “R” = RX 27.5 8.5 Figure 2 - Sample equation 2.2.3 Spacing and Constraints Referring to Figure 3, HiPR-900 radiomodems commonly use two separate antennae: • “T” - Main transceiver - Constraints are the limit of 9.06 in/23 cm (see 2.2.1 above) and omni-directional factors • “R” - Auxiliary receiver – Constraints are the receiver spacing of at least 5/8 λ (wavelength) from transceiver antenna and omni-directional requirements (8in. / 21cm) For the optimum antenna spacing at the frequency you are using, consult Dataradio System Engineering. 120 40515-100a HiPR900 User Manual 14
For installation of ground-plane dependent antennas, the center of the surface used for mounting is pref-erable for best omni-directional pattern. For ground-plane independent antennas, installation may be close to the edges of the mounting surface. RT37cm 14.58in. ≥5/8λ 900MHz: 8”/21cm) Figure 3 - Antenna spacing 2.2.4 Acceptable Antennae The antennae listed in Table 2 were tested and typed for maximum gain. These antennae are FCC ap-proved for use with the HiPR-900. Similar antenna types from other manufacturers are also acceptable.

Its primary design goal was to satisfy the needs of SCADA systems using RTUs or PLCs in either point-to-point or point-to-multipoint service. This sec-tion gives an overview of some common configurations. 2.3.1 Modes 2.3.1.1 Bridge mode Bridge mode provides for fast set-up. IP bridging for quick deployment of basic point-to-point and point-multipoint networks with minimal configuration. Bridge mode carries ARP and is transparent to any IP-based or IP-encapsulated protocols. 2.3.1.2 Router mode Used in advanced networks, router mode enables OIP optimization for reduced overhead and improved throughput, and supports more complex network topologies such as store-and- forward and multihop links. There is only one model to buy or stock because any HiPR900 unit can be configured for bridge or router mode, router gateway (access point), remote station, or even as a combined store-and-forward re-mote with a local drop. 120 40515-100a HiPR900 User Manual 15
Selection of “master” or “remote” as well as data delivery conditions is done using the web browser. 2.3.2 RF Path and communications range The reliable communication range of the HiPR-900 is dependent on terrain, RF (radio frequency) path obstacles, and antenna system. To assure reliable communications, a competent professional who can de-termine what antennae are required and whether or not a repeater is needed should study the RF path be-tween stations. 2.3.3 COMMON CHARACTERISTICS The networks described in this section share common characteristics: 1. The network speed (256 and 512 Kbps) varies in a network as the Master announces the speed to use to the remote stations. 2. Transmission of online diagnostics may be enabled or disabled at any station or stations without af-fecting their ability to communicate with other stations. 2.3.4 Basic connections The connections required are shown in Figure 4. While an RTU or PLC is shown in the diagram, master stations often use a PC running an application de-signed to communicate with remote RTUs or PLCs. The Setup PC is used for both configuration and local and remote diagnostics. It may be left connected at all times but is not required for normal operation once the unit has been configured.

Figure 5 - Point-to-Point IP Network System HiPR-900 HiPR-900 DTE DTE Bridge Mode (Ethernet) connections possible Network Network A simple point-to-point connection is shown above. In this system, the user's equipment (DTE) is set up in a master-remote configuration. Ethernet network connection is also possible using bridge mode. 2.3.6 POINT-MULTIPOINT SYSTEM Figure 6 - Point-to-Multipoint System HiPR-900HiPR-900Remote Remote Remote HiPR-900HiPR-900 Master Network Bridge Mode (Ethernet) connections possible A basic Point-Multipoint system for polling application is shown above. Using a web browser, one HiPR-900 unit must be set to “Master”. The remaining units in the network must be set to “Remote”. All units are set to “selective” data delivery to prevent remote stations from hearing each other's responses. Ethernet network connection is also possible using bridge mode. 120 40515-100a HiPR900 User Manual 17
2.4 Selectable Data Rates Switchable data rates of 256 and 512 Kbps allow optimizing installations for highest throughput or maximum range. The sophisticated DSP modem gives optimal performance in either mode, whether a short-range LAN extension or long-range point-to-point link. 2.5 Combined Access Point and Remote Any unit can be configured as a Master station, and as an Access Point or Remote. This flexibility allows the backbone network to be connected wherever it is most convenient, and completely independently of where the Master station is located. Deployment and keeping spares is simplified with only a single model required. 2.6 Online & Offline Diagnostics HiPR-900 units continually monitor and report on their environmental and operating conditions. Each transmission carries online diagnostic information that can be monitored remotely or even sent to a desig-nated host for logging and later analysis. Additional information, statistics, and offline test facilities are available via the browser. RF paths can be monitored and checked from either end of a link, without travelling to the other station. 2.7 Built-in Spectrum Analyzer Dataradio's innovative built-in Spectrum Analyzer continually monitors signal strength at each unit dur-ing normal operation. The spectrum analyzer can also scan the band on command to establish the noise floor and check for foreign signals or other sources of interference. Noisy or occupied sub-bands can be locked-out. 120 40515-100a HiPR900 User Manual 18
3. Physical Description 3.1 Front Panel PWR SYNCLNK ACT + - RX / TXRX TX/RXDATA SETUP POE LAN Figure 7 - HiPR-900 Front Panel The front panel includes: • One standard RJ-45 autosensing 10/100 UTP Ethernet connection with Auto-MDIX. Supports di-rect connection to both Terminal Devices and Ethernet hubs or switches without resorting to crossover cables. LED indicators make it simple to verify that Ethernet cables and connections are good. • Two DE-9F RS232 ports. Serial baud rates from 1200 to 115,200 are supported. The HiPR-900 radiomodem is factory set (default) for 19200 b/s, 8 bits, no parity, and 1 stop bit. • The antenna connector for the transceiver is a female 50-ohm TNC type. The HiPR-900 is de-signed to operate with an antenna having a maximum gain of 10 dBi. Antennae with higher gain are strictly prohibited (FCC and Industry Canada). Required antenna impedance is 50 ohms. • One TNC-type female antenna connector for the auxiliary receiver • One right-angle power connector. The 10 to 30 VDC wide-range switching power supply permits powering from 12 volt as well as 24 volt systems, and the high-efficiency switching design runs cooler with less loss. The HiPR-900 automatically senses and switches between its DC input and PoE, using the DC input if both are present. This minimizes the load on PoE Ethernet switches while allowing them to act as a backup to the local power supply. • HiPR-900 has five dual-color LED indicators. Their functions are shown in Table 3.
