Finally, set your repeater to listen for that transmitter signal by flipping the
appropriate SensorLink Tx dip switch on your repeater. For example, if your
Transmitter ID code is 3, then, use a pencil or some other pointed object to flip Sen-
sorLink Tx dip switch #3 on your repeater to ON (see the illustration below).
CAUTION: Use the larger white numbers (1-8) printed on the green board to indicate which dip switch
belongs to which Transmitter ID code. Smaller numbers printed by default on the switch
itself may not agree.

Choosing a Location
The range of the radio transmission depends on several factors. Position the
repeater as close to the transmitter and receiver as possible for best results.
Note: Given the maximum ranges below, the repeater may need to be somewhat closer
to the receiver than to the transmitter.
Typical maximum ranges between the transmitter and the repeater:
✦
Line of Sight: 1500 feet (450 m)
✦
Through Walls and Ceilings: 700 feet (225 m)
✦
Through Trees and Foliage: 700 feet (225 m)
Typical maximum ranges between the repeater and the receiver:
✦ Line of Sight: 400 feet (120 m)
✦
Through Walls and Ceilings: 100 to 200 feet (30 to 60 m)
✦
Through Trees and Foliage: 100 to 200 feet (30 to 60 m)
