  • Page 10: Product Overview

    General Description Dataradio’s HiPR-900 with Parallel Decode™ is a Frequency-Hopping Spread-Spectrum wireless radio- modem that operates in the license free 902-928 MHz band using IP/Ethernet connectivity. HiPR-900 is designed for SCADA, telemetry, control, and industrial applications in Point-to-Point and Point-to- Multipoint configurations.
  • Page 11: Characteristics

    The HiPR-900 wireless modem consists of a logic PCB (which includes modem circuitry) and a radio module. Each logic PCB and radio module is constructed in the factory to optimize performance as a wireless modem. The two boards are installed in a cast aluminum case.

  • Page 14: 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.
  • Page 15: Antenna Connection

    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...
  • Page 16: Acceptable Antennae

    MEXR-902-BN Network application HiPR-900 is suited to a variety of network applications. 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.

    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.
