Advanced Repeater Installation

Installing more than one repeater, or getting a repeater to receive signals from multiple
stations/repeaters, follows the same basic processes used to install the a single repeater
into a single transmitter/single console network.
See the desired advanced repeater installation for complete instructions.

Multiple Repeater (Daisy-Chain) Installation

A daisy-chain installation is very similar to a single repeater installation with the excep-
tion of the number of repeaters involved. See "Single Repeater Installation" on page 8 for
detailed instructions on configuring the transmitter and console for wireless repeater use.
This section covers the additional steps necessary to get a chain of repeaters set up and
communicating.
Verifying/Changing Repeater IDs
In a daisy-chain installation, a unique repeater ID is required for every repeater that is
part of the chain.The first repeater, the repeater closest to the transmitter must have the
default repeater ID of A. The next repeater in the chain must be programmed with the
repeater ID of B. The repeater that is set to the default of A is set up to only look for and
acquire signals from the transmitter. The repeater with repeater ID of B looks for a
repeater with the ID A automatically, and so on down the line.
Note:
Each repeater will only look for and acquire signals from the previous repeater in the chain.
To set the repeater IDs for all of the repeaters in the chain:
1. Identify the repeater that will be positioned closest to the transmitter and open it.
2. Verify that the repeater DIP switch in this repeater unit is set to the default ID of A (all
DIP switches on the OFF position).
3. Identify the next repeater in the chain and open it.
4. Change the Repeater ID to B using the table below:
