ēKo Pro Series User's Manual
Using a Repeater Node:
If the
Ko base radio is located remotely from the nearest
Ko node, it may be necessary to use
ë
ë
some of the
Ko nodes as repeaters. Any unit can be used as a repeater with or without sensors.
ë
An example is shown in the picture below where there is another facility between the network
and the
Ko base radio.

5.1.2 UPS
For high reliability consider a UPS (battery backup) to keep the gateway powered during power
outages. The
Ko gateway is a low power device that only consumes about 4 watts of power. A
ë
low cost UPS such as the APC 325VA
(http://www.apc.com/)
can supply battery back-up power
for approximately 4 days. When choosing a UPS device it is highly recommended to pick one
that provides Status notification via USB. The
Ko gateway has a preinstalled driver that is
ë
compatible with respective APC UPS devices. See section 7.6 for details on such a setup.
