5 Select the Mounting Place
5.1 Mounting Location
The position of the RF-310 has strong impact to the detection range. The RF-310 is intended for an installation
on top of a pole. Make sure that a suitable pole is available (diameter from1.5"(38mm)).
The detection is the precondition for the direction finding.
5.1.1 Detection Conditions
For ideal results the location should fulfill the following conditions:
`Clear view over the area
`Exposed, elevated position: 10 ft (3 m) minimum, 33 ft (10 m) recommended
Do not install the device nearby the following objects:
•Metal surfaces or coated glass
Disturbs the detection and prevents the localization.
•Walls
These shade the detection area and prevent classification of signals behind the wall.
•Base station and other strong signal sources
The detected signals are getting interfered.
•Any excessive heat sources
•Any overhead power lines, power circuits, high-voltage lines or electrical lights
Electrical discharge can damage the device.
Select a secure installation location and mounting position for the device. Ideally, this is a location where the
device cannot be interfered with, either intentionally or accidentally.

To localize a drone an intersection of the
bearings from at least two sensors is
needed.

Localization is not possible in the case
where two RF-310s are aligned.
This is the blind area of two sensors.

Both RF-310s detects a direction in
alignment to the left. The overlapping
area covers the complete bearing of
the other RF-310. The position can’t be
determined.

Both RF-310s detect a direction in
alignment to the right. The overlapping
area covers the complete bearing of
the other RF-310. The position can’t be
determind.
5.1.2 Direction Finding and Localization Conditions
For accurate localization results, follow the guidance below in addition to the Detection Conditions (see
chapter 5.1.1 Detection Conditions, page 7).
The position is determined by the intersection of at least two bearings. Therefore minimum two RF-310
sensors are
required for localization, but we recommend at least three RF-310 sensors as this significantly reduces
localization errors.
For best localization results, all RF-310 sensor should be installed at the same height.

5.2 Mounting Location
Mounting Surface
•Make sure the selected mounting surface is capable of supporting the combined weight of the RF-310
(12.4 lb (5.6 kg)) and the pole under all expected conditions of load, vibration, and temperature.
Mounting Orientation
•Important for a good result is the vertical alignment of the device. Do not tilt the device.
Distances between the RF-310s
The distance between the RF-310 usually should be 650 ft to 3,200 ft (200 m to 1,000 m).
650 ft - 3,200 ft
(200 m - 1,000 m)
Distance between the RF-310s
`For the best result, Dedrone strongly recommends a distance of 1,650 ft to 2,600 ft (500 m to 800 m).
`Choose the position depending on your monitoring focus. Increase the distance between the sensors to
increase the accuracy at further distances.
`Localization accuracy increases as the drone gets closer to the sensors.
`For large installations with sensor distances of more than 3,200 ft (1,000 m) to each other a special
sensor configuration in the DedroneTracker user interface is necessary. Please contact the Dedrone
Support.
Both RF-310s detect a direction against
each other. No exact position can be
determined.
With three RF-310s there is no blind
area. The third RF-310s can always verify
the area of intersection.

Lightning Protection Installation with RF-310s
Ensure that the location has the appropriate clearance from power and lightning conductors, in accordance
with NEC725 and NEC800 (CEC Rule 16-224 and CEC Section 60 and Section 810 of the National Electrical
Code, ANSI/NFPA No.70).
5.3 Overvoltage Protection
For safe mounting in an exposed position overvoltage protection must be observed. Ensure that the mast is
connected to the lightning conductor of the building and there is a metallic contact between the mast mount
and the mast. The lightning conductor must be installed at least 1.5 m above the RF-310.
6 Installation
6.1 Power Supply
The RF-310 does not need any additional power supply connection. The power supply is provided by the
connected switch with activated active PoE IEEE 802.3bt (60 W).
`Make sure, that your network has activated active PoE IEEE 802.3bt (60 W).
Note: Data transfer is only possible with a suitable PoE switch.
6.2 Required Tools
`Socket wrench: 7 mm ( 9/32” )
`Screwdriver Torx TX20
`Crimping tool
For an environmentally sealed connection to the RF-310, it's necessary to crimp the supplied connector
to the laid patch cable (see chapter 6.4 Cable Preparation, page 11).
`Ladder or lift truck, depending on the mounting location
`For wall mount: Drilling machine, screwdriver, suitable screws, and washer

6.4 Cable Preparation
For a weather resistant connection to the RF-310, it is necessary to crimp the supplied environmentally sealed
Ethernet connector to the patch cable.
Procedure:
6.3 Cable Requirements
1 Cut the RJ45 plug off the laid cable. Keep the cut off plug, to check the wiring standard later.
2 Screw the gland off the connector body.
3 Thread the gland nut and the connector body onto the
cable.
4 Remove the cable jacket carefully. Therefore take care not to damage the braid and foil.
5 Fold back the braid and foil over the cable jacket.
Note: 25 mm (1”) of free conductors are needed.
6
Unravel the conductors, sort the conductors in the required
wiring standard (568-A or 568-B), and push the conductors
all the way in the plug.
The required wiring standard can be checked on the
previous cut-off RJ45 plug.
7 Crimp the RJ45 plug with the crimping tool.
8 Push down the latching clip of the plug and press the connector body all the way to the stop over
the RJ45 plug.
9 Put the gland nut over the connector body and screw down the gland nut on the connector body.

6.5 Mount sensor
The RF-310 can be mounted on all poles from 1.5"(38mm) thick or on walls. Mounting differs depending on
the thickness of the mast and wall mounting.
6.5.1 Mount sensor on a thin pole (1.5" to 3")
Requirements:
`Desired mounting place fulfills the requirements (see chapter 5 Select the Mounting Place, page 7).
`Diameter of the pole: 1.5" to 3" (38mm to 75mm)
Procdure:
1 Unscrew the six lower screws (TX20) on both sides and unhook the
sensor out of the mount.
2
Lay a strap around the pole and close it to a loose ring.
Therefore put the strap in the slash under the screw and tighten it with the socket wrench
7mm(9/32”).
The strap-ring hangs loosen at the pole.
3 Hook the T-lash of the mount in the strap.
4
An accurate alignment of the sensor is a prerequisite for a good direction finding
result.
Most critical is the configuration of the GPS position and the horizontal angle of each RF-310. If the
installation and configuration are not accurate, the direction finding could be strongly divergent.
There are two ways to align the sensor accurately:
4a
Align the sensor by a landmark:
•Choose a prominent landmark in the area which is visible
(corner of a building, etc.).
•Look over the pole and RF-310 and align the sensor to the
prominent landmark.
This is necessary for the correct orientation of the
sensor in the sitemap of the DedroneTracker UI (see chapter
7.2 Connect and Configure the RF-310 to your DedroneCloud,
page 18).

4b
Align the sensor with a GPS device or compass:
•Place the GPS device or compass on the RF-310 and check the
orientation of the RF-310.
•Read the GPS position in degrees (for example, "52.516295" and
"13.377653").
•Find the horizontal angle (azimuth) in degrees (0 = north, 90 =
east, 180 = south, 270 = west).
•Note the values in the table (see chapter 11 Appendix, page
21).

Therefore put the strap in the slash under the screw and tighten it with the socket wrench 7 mm (
9/32” ) .
The strap-ring hangs loosen at the pole.
7 Hook the strap into the lower T lash and tighten the strap
accordingly.
8 Hook the sensor in the lower position of the mount and fix it with
the six screws in the lower position to the mount.
9 Make sure that the pole is grounded (see chapter 5.3 Overvoltage Protection, page 10).
10
Connect the patch cable to the RF-310 and turn the connector gland until it is locked (for a correct
cable preparation see 6.4 Cable Preparation, page 11).
If the patch cable is connected to the network, the RF-310 boots automatically and after
approximately 10 second the blue button at the RF-310 illuminates, indicating that the
hardware is ready.
The patch cable is connected to the network and the RF-310 does not boot automatically after
approximately 15 seconds?
Push the blue button and wait for it to illuminate.
