OM-CP-RFC1000
Product Notes
The OM-CP-RFC1000 is a high powered transciever designed to provide network connectivity between
wireless data loggers and the base station computer. This design includes an external antenna, allowing
flexibility with mounting positions in both orientation and proximity to metal walls.
The OM-CP-RFC1000 may be used as a repeated or plugged directly into the PC.
Transmission Distance
The OM-CP-RFC1000 transmits to other OM-CP-RFC1000s up to 4000 feet maximum typical outdoors/line of sight, 1000 feet maximum typical indoors/urban. The OM-CP-RFC1000 transmits to data
loggers up to 2000 feet maximum typical outdoors/line of sight, 500 feet maximum typical indoors/
urban. The OM-CP-RFC1000 can connect to a maximum of 64 data loggers.
The OM-CP-RFC1000 transmits on a frequency of 2.405GHz - 2.475 GHz.
Operating Environment
The OM-CP-RFC1000 is rated for use in an environment with temperatures from -20°C to 85°C and a
humidity range of 0% to 95% RH non-condensing.The OM-CP-RFC1000 is rated IP40 and is protected
against solids that are greater than 1mm in size. This device is not water resistant.
LEDs
The red LED indicates that the device has power. The green LED will blink when communicating with
other devices.
Installing the Software
Insert the Software Flash Drive into a USB port on the PC. If the autorun does not appear, locate the
drive on the computer and double click on Autorun.exe. Follow the prompts on the screen to install the
Omega Data Logger Software.
Channel Programming for the OM-CP-RFC1000
The OM-CP-RFC1000 transmits data on the 2.5GHz band, channel 11. Each Wireless Data Logger and
OM-CP-RFC1000 has a set of dip switches with which the channel may be programmed.
For proper communication, all data loggers or OM-CP-RFC1000s on the same network are required to
use the same channel. If they are not on the same channel, the devices will not communicate with one
another.
OM-CP-RFC1000: To program the channel on an RFC1000, first unplug the RFC1000. Use a Phillips head screwdriver to unscrew the enclosure. The dip switches are located on the front of the PCB
circuit board. Change the dip switches to match the photo. Reconnect the RFC1000.
