The "Typically Ships Within" value is an estimate of the number of calendar days within which this product is ready to ship from Campbell Scientific. Orders with more than 10 built-to-order products will likely increase the time needed to prepare the order for shipping.

To estimate how long it will take to receive an order that contains multiple products, combine the longest Ships Within value with the transit time of the shipping method you select.

Some specialized products have long Ships Within values. Because of this, you might consider submitting a separate order for these products so your other products won't be delayed.

15966 Wall Charger 12Vdc 800mA Output, 100-240Vac 50-60Hz w/Barrel Plug, 6ft Cable
 
A 15966 wall charger is required for ac power to serve as the power source for the RF416. This ac/dc transformer accepts inputs from 90 to 260 Vac @ 47 to 63 Hz, then outputs 12 Vdc @ 880 mA for use by the RF416. The 15966 is fitted with a cable and barrel plug to connect the transformer to the RF416; cable length is 6 ft.
14291
14291 Field Power Cable 12Vdc Plug to Pigtail, 2ft
 
The 14291 power cable allows the RF416 to be powered from a suitable 12 Vdc power supply.
14162
14162 RF401, RF411, or RF416 Mounting Kit
 
The 14162 kit attaches the radio to the backplate of an environmental enclosure.
16755
16755 2.4GHz 13dBd Yagi Enclosed Antenna w/Type N-F & Mounting Hardware
 
The 16755 is a high-gain (13 dBd), directional (Yagi) antenna that has a narrow beam width, so precise aiming is mandatory. It is useful for longer distances, and when only communicating with one other station (due to narrow beam width). This antenna requires an antenna cable to connect it to the RF416. The antenna is suitable for outdoor use.
16005
16005 2.4GHz 0dBd Omni 1/2 Wave Whip Antenna w/RPSMA Articulating
 
The 16005 is a unity gain (0 dBd), 1/2 wave whip, omnidirectional antenna. Its articulating knuckle joint can be oriented vertically or at right angles. This antenna attaches directly to the radio; a cable is not required. The 16005 must reside inside a building or enclosure.
17480
17480 900MHz or 2.4GHz 1dBd Dipole Antenna w/Adhesive Mount & RPSMA Male, 10ft
 
The 17480 is an omnidirectional antenna with a 1 dBd gain. It has adhesive backing that adheres to a wall, rear-view mirror, window, or another suitable flat, non-conductive surface. This antenna includes a 10-ft cable that attaches to the RF416.
30411
30411 2.4GHz 5.8dBd Omni Fiberglass Type N-F Antenna w/o Mounting Hardware
 
The 30411 is a higher gain (5.8 dBd) omnidirectional antenna. It is suitable for base station use where you need to communicate with multiple stations located in different directions. The antenna has a Type N Female connector and requires an antenna cable to connect it to the radio. It does not include mounting hardware, and is typically mounted with the 13906 (see below).
13906
13906 Antenna Mount for Antenex Fiberglass OMNIs FM2
 
The 13906 provides hardware for mounting the 30411 antenna (see above).
COAXRPSMA-L
COAXRPSMA-L
 
COAXRPSMA-L Antenna Cable LMR195 w/Reverse Polarity SMA & Type N Male Connector
 
Either this cable or the COAXNTN-L (see below) is required when using the 16755 or 30411 antenna. The COAXRPSMA-L is an LMR195 cable that terminates in a Type N Male connector on the "antenna end" and a Reverse Polarity SMA (RPSMA) connector on the "transceiver end." This cable is recommended for applications where the cable length is less than 10 feet.
Cable Length - show details
-L ft per antenna cable

Allowed values: 1-1000 ft, increments of 1 ft

Recommended length is 5 ft (1.5 m). Maximum length is 10 ft (3 m).
COAXNTN-L
COAXNTN-L
 
COAXNTN-L Antenna Cable RG8 w/2 Type N Male Connectors
 
Either this cable or the COAXRPSMA-L (see above) is required when using the 16755 or 30411 antenna. The COAXNTN-L is a low-loss RG8 coaxial cable that requires the 31314 surge protection kit to connect it to the RF416. The COAXNTN-L/31314 combination is recommended over the COAXRPSMA-L when the antenna cable will be longer than 10 ft (as measured between the RF416 and the antenna) or when the RF416 will be used in an environment susceptible to lightning or electrostatic buildup.
Cable Length - show details
-L ft per antenna cable

Allowed values: 1-500 ft, increments of 1 ft

Recommended length is 15, 25, or 35 ft (4.6, 7.7, or 10.8 m).
31314
31314 Surge Protection Kit, Type N to RPSMA, 700- 2700MHz, 18 inches
 
The 31314 is an RF surge protection kit with flange mounting bracket. It may be flange-mounted to an enclosure backplate or bulkhead-mounted through an enclosure wall. One side of the surge protector connects to a radio with an RPSMA antenna connection. The other side connects to an antenna/antenna coaxial cable with Type N connector.
21212
21212 Black Cold Shrink Tape, 10ft long Roll, 1in wide
 
This 10 ft (3.1 m) roll of 1"-wide black self-vulcanizing tape can help protect the connection of outdoor antennas. After connecting the coaxial cable to the antenna, wrap the tape around the connectors that are exposed to the environment.
18663
18663 Null Modem Cable 9-Pin Male to Male, 1ft
 
The 18663 is a null modem cable used to connect the RF416 radio to a datalogger's RS-232 port.

Other Accessories

31312

Services

18206 Minor Upgrade Fee to convert RF400 or CR205 series to RF401/CR206 series
 
The 18206 service specifies a minor upgrade of an RF415 spread spectrum radio to an RF416 radio; an RMA is required. The critical factor in determining whether a major versus minor upgrade is required depends on the version of Maxstream code within the radio. For radios with version 4.28D or later, a minor upgrade will suffice. Radios of this version were shipped intermittently in 2003, consistently by 2004.
18207 Major Upgrade Fee to convert RF400 or CR205 series to RF401/CR206 series
 
The 18207 service specifies a major upgrade of an RF415 spread spectrum radio to an RF416 radio; an RMA is required. The critical factor in determining whether a major versus minor upgrade is required depends on the version of Maxstream code within the radio. For radios with version 4.28D or later, a minor upgrade will suffice. Radios of this version were shipped intermittently in 2003, consistently by 2004.
