2.16b Repeater
Communication between a GS820 and a programmed
sensor can be routed through a different programmed
sensor (repeater). This can be done either to extend
the range of the network or to assist communication
around a large radio obstacle. The battery life of the
sensor repeated (source) will be reduced by about a
year*. The battery life of the sensor repeater will be
reduced to 35 days**. This function should not be used
where it is not required.
Program a sensor repeater
1. In menu 4I), select 4I3) S
ET UP SENSOR REPEATOR.
2. Select 1) S
ELECT REPEATER, press Enter to
modify and use Up and Down to program the
radio ID number of the sensor that will be the
repeater
and press Enter to confirm.
3. Select 2) S
ELECT SOURCE, press Enter and
program the radio ID number of the sensor that
will be the source
and press Enter.
4. Press “S

5. Press Exit to return to the operation display.
Clear a sensor repeater
1. In menu 4I), select 4I2) R

IMPORTANT!
Sensors can only have one
network controller at a time. To receive
communication from a sensor without taking
control of that sensor a display must first be
programmed in “listening mode”.
Note: To regain network control of programmed
sensors adjust the GS820 to “
NETWORK CONTROLLER”,
shut the display off, and then start it again.
!
!
CAUTION!
Test all system functions after
setting up or removing a repeater. Shut off
and then restart the GS820.
