(RF) and Wi-Fi signals. The RF-310 detects targeted radio signals, classifies them, and identifies their direction. Combined with two or more Dedrone RF sensors, it can determine the position of a drone and remote controls by the RF signals. The RF-310 sends the data and an alert via LAN connection to the DedroneTracker System.
Modifications: Any modifications made to this device that are not approved by Dedrone Holdings Inc. may void the authority granted to the user by the FCC to operate this equipment.
In combination with two or more Dedrone RF sensors it is able to determine the position of a drone and remote controls by the RF signals. the RF-310 sends the data, along with an alert via LAN connection to the DedroneTracker System.
5 Select the Mounting Place 5.1 Mounting Location The position of the RF-310 has strong impact to the detection range. The RF-310 is intended for an installation on top of a pole. Make sure that a suitable pole is available (diameter from 1.5" (38 mm)).
For accurate localization results, follow the guidance below in addition to the Detection Conditions (see chapter 5.1.1 Detection Conditions, page 7). The position is determined by the intersection of at least two bearings. Therefore minimum two RF-310 sensors are required for localization, but we recommend at least three RF-310 sensors as this significantly reduces localization errors.
(200 m - 1,000 m) Distance between the RF-310s For the best result, Dedrone strongly recommends a distance of 1,650 ft to 2,600 ft (500 m to 800 m). Choose the position depending on your monitoring focus. Increase the distance between the sensors to increase the accuracy at further distances.
6 Installation 6.1 Power Supply The RF-310 does not need any additional power supply connection. The power supply is provided by the connected switch with activated active PoE IEEE 802.3bt (60 W). Make sure, that your network has activated active PoE IEEE 802.3bt (60 W).
External Diameter 3.5 mm – 7.5 mm 6.4 Cable Preparation For a weather resistant connection to the RF-310, it is necessary to crimp the supplied environmentally sealed Ethernet connector to the patch cable. Procedure: Cut the RJ45 plug off the laid cable. Keep the cut off plug, to check the wiring standard later.
Dedrone 6.5 Mount sensor The RF-310 can be mounted on all poles from 1.5" (38 mm) thick or on walls. Mounting differs depending on the thickness of the mast and wall mounting. 6.5.1 Mount sensor on a thin pole (1.5" to 3") Requirements: Desired mounting place fulfills the requirements (see chapter 5 Select the Mounting Place, page 7).

Make sure that the pole is grounded (see chapter 5.3 Overvoltage Protection, page 10). Connect the patch cable to the RF-310 and turn the connector gland until it is locked (for a correct cable preparation see 6.4 Cable Preparation, page 11).
An accurate alignment of the sensor is a prerequisite for a good direction finding result. Most critical is the configuration of the GPS position and the horizontal angle of each RF-310. If the installation and configuration are not accurate, the direction finding could be strongly divergent.
Make sure that the pole is grounded (see chapter 5.3 Overvoltage Protection, page 10). Connect the patch cable to the RF-310 and turn the connector gland until it is locked (for a correct cable preparation see 6.4 Cable Preparation, page 11).
Note the values in the table (see chapter 11 Appendix, page 21). Connect the patch cable to the RF-310 and turn the connector gland until it is locked (for a correct cable preparation see 6.4 Cable Preparation, page 11). If the patch cable is connected to the network, the RF-310 boots automatically and after ...
7.1 Integrate the RF-310 in your on prem DedroneTracker Server To connect to the RF-310 DHCP services are required that automatically assign an IP address to the RF-310. If the RF-310 and the DedroneTracker Server are in the same Layer2 network they can be connected directly. If the RF-310 and the DedroneTracker 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-310 appears in the Site Explorer. The RF-310 is getting placed automatically on the map via GPS, but needs to be aligned (see following steps). To sort the RF-310 in the Site Explorer, drag and drop the element to the desired position.
Dedrone Cleaning 9 Cleaning Wrong cleaner damages the housing The wrong cleaner can damage the housing or antenna of the RF-310. Never use glass cleaner or other solvent cleaners to clean the RF-310. • Use solvent-free cleaner to clean the RF-310.
