Using a FIREFLY as a Repeater
You will need a repeater in situations where there is excess distance between installed units. Repeaters
help ‘lighten the load’ in passing data to the MOSAIC Gateway in dense installation areas and areas
with excessive RF obstructions.
• Wire red & blue together and swipe with the magnet to activate the MOSAIC FIREFLY as a
repeater.
Repeaters are ideally placed above ground with the antenna in a vertical position. When using
FIREFLYs as repeaters, they can be placed in pits, but a resulting loss of RF performance should be
anticipated. For best results and maximum coverage mount the repeater similar to the picture above.
