Long Range Repeater
Installation Manual
For AC-Powered and Solar-Powered Repeaters
Models 7653 and 7654
FCC Part 15 Class B Registration Warning
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15
of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed
and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does
cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment on
and off, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
•
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
•
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
•
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
•
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Changes or modification not expressly approved in writing by Davis Instruments may void the warranty and void
the user's authority to operate this equipment.
FCC ID: IRDWW765Y
IC: 3788A-765Y
EC EMC Compliance
This product complies with the essential protection requirements of the EC EMC Directive 89/336/EC, as tested to
the following directives:
•
ETSI EN 300 220
•
ETSI EN 301 489
This device has been designed to operate with an antenna having a maximum gain of 11 dBi. Antennas having a
higher gain are strictly prohibited per regulations of Industry Canada. The required antenna impedance is 50 ohms.
To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP) is not more than that required for successful communication.

Welcome!
The Vantage Pro2™ Long Range Repeater can be used with any Vantage Pro2 wireless
transmitter station and re-transmits the information to a Vantage Pro2 compatible receiver
(Vantage Pro2 console or Envoy®). The Long Range Repeater works in much the same
way as the Vantage Pro2 wireless repeaters, but extends the range and distance between a
repeater and a receiver by up to 10 times that of the Vantage Pro2 wireless repeater.
Long Repeater Manual Overview
This manual provides additions information specific to the installation and use of the
Long Range Repeaters and is intended to be used in conujunction with the Wireless
Repeater Installation Manual.

Mounting the Wireless Repeater
The antenna configuration and wireless repeater can be mounted on a pole at designated
location. Use the brovided U-bolts for the wireless repeater and the U-bolts provided for
each antenna type to install them all to a pole. .
Installing a Repeater\Antenna(s) on a Pole
Refer to the following illustrations to install the repeater and antennas on a pole:
1. Place the repeater enclosure at a low
place on the pole to provide enough
room on the top of the pole to mount the
necessary antennas.
2. While holding the shelter against the
pole close to the bottom, place a U-bolt
around the pole and through the two
holes on at the top of the shelter.
3. Place a flat washer, a lock washer and a
hex nut on each of the bolt ends.
4. Using an adjustable wrench or 7/16"
wrench, tighten the nuts.
5. Place the second U-bolt around the pole
and through the two holes at the bottom
of the shelter.
6. Put a flat washer, a lock washer, and a
hex nut on each bolt end, and tighten the
hex nuts.
