Single Repeater Configuration; Advanced Repeater Configurations - DAVIS Envoy8X User Manual

Single Repeater Configuration

Use a single repeater as part of a single station/single receiver setup when the distance is
so great that a station alone can not successfully communicate with a receiver. The
distance is greater than one radio-link but less than three.
The diagram below shows the typical single repeater configuration, with each arrow
representing a radio-link.

Transmitting Station
This configuration permits greater distances between a station and a receiver.
Note: If the distance between a station and a receiver is more than two radio-links, see "Multiple Repeater
(Daisy-Chain) Configuration" below. If more than one station exists, see "Multiple Stations/One Repeater
Configuration" on page 8.

Advanced Repeater Configurations

Multiple Repeater (Daisy-Chain) Configuration
If the distance between a station and receiver is greater than the single repeater
configuration distance can provide range for, or if the station, repeater and receiver are
not in line of sight of each other, more than one repeater should be used to transmit
weather data. A multiple repeater daisy-chain configuration has the capability to transmit
up to nine radio-links between the station and a receiver, but should be limited to four
repeaters (five radio-links).
Note: Although the maximum of eight repeaters is based on the number of unique repeater IDs (A-H) available
in a network, the limit of four repeaters in a daisy chain is based on communication/timing issues.
