This repeater is powered by a solar-rechargeable battery pack, and communicates through a 1/4-wave internal fixed antenna. Antenna Solar panel Aluminum rod stand Vent Mounting bracket Page 7 Wireless Repeater Applications ION Wireless Repeater Installation Wireless Repeater Applications Use the ION Wireless Repeater as a communications bridge between two ION 6300 meters if the physical distance between them is greater than the recommended operating range for wireless communications. Operating frequency License-free 900 MHz ISM radio band Operating range Typical 30 meter (100 ft) maximum distance between radios Install the ION Wireless Repeater on the roof (or similar location that is exposed to plenty of sunlight) to ensure proper operation of the solar panel recharging circuitry. Environmental Conditions Mounting location Page 8 Outdoor, exposed to sunlight Operating temperature 14ºF to 158ºF (-10ºC to 70ºC) Relative humidity up to 90%, non-condensing Gasket rating NEMA ION Wireless Repeater Installation Required Tools and Materials Required Tools and Materials Phillips screwdriver Fast-curing roof adhesive compound [insert recommended brand or specification here] Before You Begin 1. Read this document in its entirety. 2. Prepare drawings or sketches to indicate locations where the wireless repeaters need to be installed. 3. Plan ahead to install the repeaters on two consecutive sunny days. 4. Coordinate the installation of the wireless repeater with the installation of the wireless gateway and the ION 6300 meters. The gateway and ION meters should be installed first so that the meter can provide communications diagnostics immediately after installation. Getting More Information Additional material related to the wireless repeater and other Power Measurement products are available online at www.pwrm.com. This document is also available in PDF format and can be downloaded from our website. Mechanical Dimensions The four corner screws on the ION Wireless Repeater secure the lid to the unit, and to the aluminum rod stand. Four square aluminum mounting brackets secure the base of the stand to the roof surface. Page 9 Installation ION Wireless Repeater Installation Installation The ION Wireless Repeater is intended to be mounted on a flat roof surface. Installation of the solar repeater must be done under dry climate conditions. Make sure your wireless network (wireless gateway and devices) is operating properly before permanently securing the repeater assembly. Step 1: Assemble the Repeater Perform the following procedure near the ION Gateway in order to configure the A/D (analog-to-digital) circuitry that monitors the battery voltage. 1. Place the ION Wireless Repeater on a clean working surface. Apply liberal amounts of Dow Corning #4 electrical insulating compound to the threaded end of the antenna and to the threaded connector in the top of the repeater case. Screw the antenna into the connector until snug, but do not overtighten. 2. Remove the four screws from the front of the unit. 3. Page 10 Lift the solar panel (lid), taking care not to damage the wiring. Disconnect the wire connectors that secure the wiring between the solar panel (lid) and the charging circuit board (in the chassis). Rest the lid on the ground. ION Wireless Repeater Installation Step 1: Assemble the Repeater 4. Locate the battery power connectors (the mating connectors with three wires) inside the unit and connect them. 5. Observe the LEDs light up to verify the unit is receiving power from the battery pack. 6. Place the lid back on the unit. Thread in the four screws halfway (about 1/2” of the screw remaining). 7. While holding the lid securely to the unit, flip the unit over and rest it on a clean working surface. 8. Insert one leg (aluminum rod stand) into back of unit, making sure it is oriented correctly, i.e. with the vent closest to the base of leg. NOTE The vent (hole) indicates the bottom of the unit. Page 11 Step 2: Position the Repeater ION Wireless Repeater Installation 9. Insert the other leg into the back of unit. 10. Holding the top (lid) securely to the unit, lift and move the entire assembly to the intended mounting location. Stand the unit up on its legs. Step 2: Position the Repeater Position the repeater on the roof so the solar panel faces south ( i.e. towards the sun at noon). Page 12 ION Wireless Repeater Installation Step 3: Verify Operation and Communications Step 3: Verify Operation and Communications 1. Carefully remove the lid, then verify wireless communications by observing the LED behavior. LED Activity Description Steady Red (continuously ON) Radio is properly identified in the wireless network Blinking Red (once per second) Radio is not identified in the wireless network Flashing Green Radio is transmitting/receiving information (the Green LED flashes once per packet received) 2. Replace the lid. Attach one of the screws to the unit, pushing the end of the legs towards the base while screwing down to secure it (do not over-tighten). Repeat with the 3 remaining screws. 3. Temporarily secure the base of the legs to the roof. Leave the unit for a day, so it is exposed to a cycle of sunlight and darkness. Step 4: Verify Wireless Repeater Properties NOTE Verification of the solar charging circuitry is performed at the factory before the repeater is shipped out. 1. The following day, use ION Enterprise to verify that the wireless repeater is still properly detected in the network. Note the repeater’s location ID and radio ID on the floor plan. 2. After verifying that the unit is charging properly, replace the lid and secure with the screws. Page 13 Step 5: Install Mounting Brackets ION Wireless Repeater Installation Step 5: Install Mounting Brackets Page 14 1. Make sure the roof surface is clean of debris. 2. Apply roof adhesive compound to the underside of the square bracket. 3. Position the bracket so its flange is aligned over the base of the leg. Press down and hold for the recommended time, according to the directions on the adhesive container. MRP: 70000-0267-00 Revision Date: Feb. 14, 2005
