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 sup- plements 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.
Modifications: Any modifications made to this device that are not approved by Dedrone GmbH may void the authority granted to the user by the FCC to operate this equipment.
Dedrone 2 The RF-100 The RF-100 is a passive, network-attached sensor for the detection of radio frequencies (RF). 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.
5.1.1 Mounting Location The position of the RF-100 has strong impact to the detection range. The RF-100 is designed for a pole mounting. Make sure that a suitable pole is available (diameter between 1.6 in to 3.5 in (40 mm to 90 mm)).

For safe mounting in an exposed position overvoltage protection must be observed. Ensure that the pole 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.
5.1.2 Mounting Surface Make sure the selected mounting surface is capable of supporting the combined weight of the RF-100 (8 lb (3.6 kg)) and pole under all expected conditions of load, vibration, and temperature. 5.1.3 Mounting Orientation The orientation of the device itself does not have any effect for the performance. Important for a good result is the orientation of the antenna.
Installation Dedrone Cable Preparation For a weather resistant connection to the RF-100, it is necessary to crimp the supplied environmen- tally sealed Ethernet connector to the patch cable. Procdure: Cut the RJ45 plug off the laid cable. Keep the cut off plug, to check the wiring standard later.

Tighten the screws carefully. The RF pole mount should not be bent. If a GPS device is available, place it on top of the RF-100 and note the longitude and latitude in the table (see 5.1.1 Moun- ting Location, page 7).
To connect to the RF-100 DHCP-Services are required that automatically assign an IP address to the RF-100. If the RF-100 and the DroneTracker Server are in the same Layer2 network they can be connected directly. If the RF-100 and the DroneTracker Server are in different networks refer to the Dedrone Planning Manual or consult your network administrator.
The window Discovered Sensors appears. Select the desired RF-100 and choose [OK]. The RF-100 appears in the Site Explorer. To sort the RF-100 in the Site Explorer, drag and drop the element to the desired position. Choose [Save changes]. The window Site Configuration disappears.
Enter the registration key of your sensor and choose [OK]. The RF-100 appears in the Site Explorer. To sort the RF-100 in the Site Explorer, drag and drop the element to the desired position. Choose [Save changes]. The window Site Configuration disappears.
By disconnecting the cable without shut down the RF-100, the RF-100 could break. • Always shut down the RF-100 before disconnecting the cable. You have the option to shut down the RF-100 via the DroneTracker user interface or directly on the sensor. Shut down via DroneTracker user interface: Log in to the DroneTracker UI.
