3. Address the unit.
4. Attach the 4-connector screw terminal block on the wiring harness to the receptacle on the WCI.
5. Remove the blue (IMC+) and gray (IMC-) wires from the wiring harness.
6. Connect the red (24 Vdc/Vac) wire and black (ground) wire through the opening in the backplate (a)
7. Apply power to the WCI.

Note: When the repeater is added, its DIAG LED blinks constantly. This behavior is normal.

Changing a WCI from Device Association to Repeater

If the WCI communication wire was previously connected to a controller, return the WCI to its default
configuration as follows:
1. Set its rotary address switch to 0,0 (the WCI must be powered).
2. Observe its LEDs blink On briefly (<1 second). (It takes about 10 seconds for the blink to occur.)
Note: When the repeater is added, its DIAG LED blinks constantly. This behavior is normal.
