NXR-ZRP-PRO NetLinx ZigBee Pro Repeater
Overview
The NXR-ZRP-PRO NetLinx ZigBee® Pro Repeater (FG5791-03) is a ZigBee
wireless repeater, designed to expand the range of a ZigBee Pro network. The
NXR-ZRP-PRO features one megabit of external memory and a ZigBee Pro
module. Through an NXR-ZGW-PRO gateway, it can be controlled via a web
server interface.

Things To Consider Before Starting
Several factors will help decide the best place to install NXR-ZRP-PRO devices.
Before installing, consider the following:
Location and Antenna Direction
The best location for NXR-ZRP-PRO devices are usually in the center of your
wireless network, with line of sight to all of your mobile devices. Try to place the
antenna in a position that can best cover your wireless network. Normally, the
higher you place the antenna, the better performance you receive.
Note: For minimal interference, try to keep any installed NXR-ZRP-PRO at least
10’ (3.048m) from any WiFi access points.
NOTE (Mio R-3 or R-4 Users): Due to the wireless nature of the ZigBee
network, temporary interference (such as leaving a room or large objects
passing between the controller and its gateway device) may prevent a command
from reaching the NetLinx master. If this happens while increasing volume,
the master may receive the command to increase the volume but not the
command to stop increasing it. Therefore, programmers should consider
setting safeguards for volume control, either established volume limits or
timeouts with the NetLinx master or more interactive adjustment from the remote
(i.e., direct volume control), to prevent issues with lost commands.
NOTE: The NXR-ZRP-PRO NetLinx ZigBee Pro Repeater is optimized for the
ZigBee Pro 2007 protocol, and may not be connected to a ZigBee 2004 or 2006
network. For older ZigBee networks, the NXR-ZRP (FG5791-02) should be used
instead.
Connecting Power to the NXR-ZRP-PRO
The NXR-ZRP-PRO utilizes a 2-pin 3.5 mm mini-captive wire connection. In
order to power the NXR-ZRP-PRO, the following steps are necessary:
Preparing captive wires for the 2-pin 3.5 mm captive wire
connector
You will need a wire stripper and flat-blade screwdriver to prepare and connect
the captive wires.
1. Strip 0.25 inch (6.35 mm) of wire insulation off all wires.
2. The PWR and GND cable from the 12 VDC power supply must be 
connected to the corresponding location on the 2-pin 3.5 mm 
mini-captive wire connector (FIG. 2).
3. Tighten the clamp to secure the two wires. Do not over-torque the screws;
doing so may strip the threads and damage the connector.
4. Verify the connection of the 2-pin 3.5mm mini-captive wire to the power 
supply.
Connecting The NXR-ZRP-PRO To A Network
The NXR-ZRP-PRO itself has no connection to a network other than through its
ZigBee Pro gateway. To set up a ZigBee Pro gateway so it will accept a NXR-
ZRP-PRO into its ZigBee network, please refer to the NXR-ZGW-PRO/-ZRP -
PRO Operation/Reference Guide, available at www.amx.com.
