Action to resolve a problem 1.2 Intended Use The RF-100 is a passive, network-attached sensor for the detection of radio frequencies (RF). It supplements the DroneTracker System with another level of detection. The RF-100 detects targeted radio signals of different drones and remote controllers and sends the data, along with an alert, to the DroneTracker System.
Despite careful construction, electrical devices can cause fires. Do not mount the RF-100 in areas containing highly flammable materials or gases. Do not mount the RF-100 in a potentially explosive atmosphere. Do not install product near any heat sources such as radiators, heaters, exhaust air systems or other equipment (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

Verify that all the parts listed in the scope of delivery are included. If any items are missing, notify your Dedrone Partner. Do not use this product if any component appears to be damaged. Please contact Dedrone in the event of damaged goods.
5.1.1 Mounting Location The position of the RF-100 has strong impacts to the detection range. The RF-100 is designed for a mast mount. Make sure that a suitable mast is available (diameter between 1.2 in to 8.66 in (40 mm to 220 mm)).
For safe mounting in an exposed position overvoltage protection must be observed. Ensure that the mast is connected to the lightning conductor of the building. The RF-100 itself must not be grounded directly. The lightning conductor must be installed at least 5 ft (1.5 m) above the RF-100.
Holes for the Mast Mount 5.2 Power Supply and Required Tools Power Supply The RF-100 does not need any additional power supply connection. The power supply is provided by the connected switch with activated active PoE+ (802.3at). • Make sure, that your network has activated active PoE+ (802.3at).
3.5 mm – 7.5 mm Cable Preparation For a weather resistant connection to the RF-100, it is necessary to crimp the supplied environmentally sealed Ethernet connector to the patch cable. Cut the RJ45 plug off the laid cable. Keep the cut off plug to check the wiring standard later.
Diameter of the pole: between 1.2 in to 8.66 in (40 mm to 220 mm) Procedure: Loosen the knurled head screws on both sides of the RF-100 and unhook the RF-100 from the RF Mounting Plate. Screw the RF Mounting Plate onto the Pole Mount.

Make sure that the mast is grounded (see Requirements Overvoltage Protection, page 9). Connect the patch cable to the RF-100 and turn the connector gland until it is locked (for a correct cable preparation see 5.3 Cable Requirements and Preparation (Crimp), page 11).
Dedrone 6 Integrate RF-100 in your DroneTracker To connect to the RF-100, it is necessary to know the IP address of the RF-100. When the RF- 100 is connected to your network, the router or DHCP-Server automatically assigns an IP address to the RF-100.
7 Cleaning 7 Cleaning Some cleaners damages the housing Some cleaners can damage the housing or antenna of the RF-100. Never use glass cleaner or other solvent cleaner to clean the RF-100. • Use solvent-free cleaner to clean the RF-100.
9 Technical Data Dedrone 9 Technical Data 7.7” x 3.7” x 17.3” (195 mm x 95 mm x 440 mm) L x W x H Height without antenna: 9.8” (250 mm) Operating Temperature -4 °F to +122 °F (-20 °C to +50 °C) Weight 6.8 lb (3.1 kg)
