  • Page 4: Safety

    The RF-300 is a passive, network-attached sensor for the detection and direction finding of radio frequencies (RF) and Wi-Fi signals. In combination with two or more RF-300 it is able to determine the position of a drone by the RF signals. The RF sensor detects targeted radio signals, identifies their direction and sends the data, along with an alert to the DroneTracker System.

  • Page 5: Safety Information

    Despite careful construction, electrical devices can cause fires. Do not mount the RF-300  in areas containing highly flammable materials or gases. Do not mount the RF-300 in a potentially explosive atmosphere. Do not install product near any heat sources such as radiators, heaters, exhaust air sys- tems or other equipment (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

    5 Select the Mounting Place 5.1 Mounting Location The position of the RF-300 has strong impact to the detection and direction finding range and ac- curancy. The RF-300 is intended for pole mounting. Make sure that a suitable pole is available (dia- meter between 1.2 in to 3.5 in (40 mm to 90 mm)) and the Antenna Cover extend beyond the pole.

  • Page 8: Direction Finding And Localization Conditions

    (see 5.1.1 Detection Conditions, page 7). The position is determined by the intersection of at least two bearings. Therefore minimum two RF-300 sensors are required for localization, but we recommend at least three RF-300 sensors as this significantly reduces localization errors.
  • Page 9 Both RF-300s detects a direction in alignment to the left. The over-  lapping area covers the complete bearing of the other RF-300. The position can’t be determind. Both RF-300s detect a direction in alignment to the right. The over- ...

    Select the Mounting Place Dedrone Distances between the RF-300s The distance between the RF-300 usually should be 330 ft to 1,300 ft (100 m to 400 m). 330 ft to 1,300 ft (100 m to 400 m) 330 ft to 1,300 ft...

  • Page 11: Mounting Surface

    Select the Mounting Place 5.3 Mounting Surface Make sure the selected mounting surface is capable of supporting the combined weight of the RF-300 (6.8 lb (3.1 kg)) and mounting hardware under all expected conditions of load, vibration, and temperature. 5.4 Mounting Orientation Important for a good result is the vertical alignment of the device and that the Antenna Cover ex- tend beyond the pole.

  • Page 12: Installation

    Dedrone 6 Installation 6.1 Power Supply The RF-300 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).

    Diameter of the pole: between 1.2 in to 3.5 in (40 mm to 90 mm) Procdure: Loosen the knurled head screws with the sealing washers on both sides of the RF-300 and unhook the RF-300 from the RF Mounting Plate. Screw the RF Mounting Plate onto the Pole Mount.
  • Page 14 • Tighten the screws carefully. The RF Mounting Plate should not be bent. Screw the antenna on the screw thread at the bottom of the RF-300. Do not bend the antenna - it should be aligned to the ground. ...

    To connect to the RF-300 DHCP-Services are required that automatically assign an IP address to the RF-300. If the RF-300 and the DroneTracker Server are in the same Layer2 network they can be connected directly. If the RF-300 and the DroneTracker Server are in different networks refer to the Dedrone Planning Manual or consult your network administrator.

    Enter the registration key of your sensor and choose [OK].  The RF-300 appears in the Site Explorer. To sort the RF-300 in the Site Explorer, drag and drop the element to the desired position. Choose [Save changes].  The window Site Configuration disappears.

  • Page 18: Cleaning

    By disconnecting the cable without shut down the RF-300, the RF-300 could break. • Always shut down the RF-300 before disconnecting the cable. You have the possibility to shut down the RF-300 via the DroneTracker user interface or directly on the sensor. Shut down via DroneTracker user interface: Log in to the DroneTracker UI.
