30 seconds, allowing for 10 transmissions per logger reading. If the environment sees a burst of RF interference a few times per minute, it is highly probable that one or more transmissions will be received properly. OM-CP-RF Series Operations Manual Omega Engineering, Inc. Revised 04/07/05... -

> 45 days INCREASING RANGE WITH THE RFEXTENDER The RFExtender products can extend the transmission distance of Omega’s OM-CP-RF series products for up to 1 mile (1.6 km) under ideal conditions. Typical ranges are 1000 to 2000 feet (300 to 600 m) outdoors, and up to 300 feet (100 m) indoors. An RFExtender system requires a minimum of two RFExtender transceivers, one at each node of the wireless link. -
Page 14: Complex Rfextender System
The setup in Figure 6 shows an RFExtender connected to a PC that can receive data from 8 other transceivers. Each of the remote transceivers can either communicate serially with one logger via an IFC110 or receive wireless data from multiple OM-CP-RF series transmitters through an RFC101A. For this system to function properly, each transceiver must be set up to receive data only from the proper location. -
