The DR9011R Repeater is used to provide a path from a DR9011 Transmitter to a DR9021 Receiver, when the path between the transmitter and receiver is obstructed or too far in distance.
The DR9011R Repeater receives the signal transmitted by the DR9011 and retransmits it on a different Hop sequence for reception by the DR9021.
A different Hop value is used for reception and retransmission so there can be no partial reception of direct signals from the DR9011 to the DR9021.
Three radio modules are available for the DR9011 and DR9021, two 915MHz band versions with 7 Hop sequences each and a 2.4GHz band version with 7 Hop sequences. They use spread spectrum, frequency hopping technology. These choices provide 21 different Hop sequences that allow 21 systems to work in the same locale without interfering with each other. The DR9011R Repeater uses the same radio modules.
With proper antenna and cable selection and a 915MHz band version radio, the DR9011 Transmitter can transmit up to 20 miles to the DR9011R Repeater. The DR9011R Repeater can transmit up to 20 miles to the DR9021 Receiver. The 2.4GHz band version can transmit up to 10 miles from unit to unit.
A DIP Switch on the PC board is used to set the Hop sequence for reception and retransmitting. Screw terminal blocks that plug into the case allow easy wiring and removal of products. All of the DR Series products provide transient protection to help eliminate damage from lightning and from other transients created on the power and signal leads.
Long coaxial cable runs to external antennas require a surge suppressor Type N bulkhead connector in the coaxial cable system.
