FCC Part 15 Class B Registration Warning
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15
of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed
and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does
cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment on
and off, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Changes or modification not expressly approved in writing by Davis Instruments may void the warranty and void
the user's authority to operate this equipment.
FCC ID: IRDWW765Y
IC: 3788A-765Y
EC EMC Compliance:This product (model 7654OV) complies with the essential protection
requirements of the Radio Equipment Directive 2014/53/EU. The complete Declaration of Conformity
is one our website at https://www.davisnet.com/legal. RoHS Compliant.
This device has been designed to operate with an antenna having a maximum gain of 11 dBi. Antennas having a
higher gain are strictly prohibited per regulations of Industry Canada. The required antenna impedance is 50 ohms.
To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be chosen that the
equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP) is not more than that required for successful communication.
Welcome!
The Long Range Repeater can be used with any wireless Vantage Pro2™ or Vantage Vue
transmitting station to re-transmit to a Vantage Pro2 compatible receiver (Vantage Pro2 or
Vantage Vue console; Vantage Connect, Weather Envoy or Envoy8X, or a standard
Wireless Repeater). The Long Range Repeater works in much the same way as the
Vantage Pro2 wireless repeater, but extends the distance between a repeater and a
receiver by up to 10 times that of the standard Vantage Pro2 wireless repeater (# 7627).
