Page 3: Introduction / Overview
Introduction / Overview The SW-SB is an active repeater which will allow the T24 range of modules to span around obstacles or increase range or coverage. The connectivity module provides a battery holder for a pair of alkaline ‘D’ cells and has regulator circuitry for an external power supply. -
Page 4: Combined Solutions
Many Providers Power Options The SW-SB can operate permanently powered or can operate from on-board batteries. Permanently Powered This is the simplest way to operate the repeater. With a permanent supply you do not need to worry about the repeater sleeping or waking. You can optionally choose whether the repeater always wakes sleeping modules and then you could utilise the powering up of the repeater to wakeup those modules outside the normal radio range. -

But some modules only wake specific single target modules such as the T24-HS handheld module and the T24-AO1 analog output module. For these modules to wake the repeater they must be fitted with at least v2.1 version radio modules. This only affects repeaters with a SleepDelay set. Straightpoint SW-SB U ANUAL... -

Page 11: Channel And Encryption
NOTE: Channel 16 is used to negotiate pairing so avoid this channel if possible. Encryption Key Only devices with identical encryption keys can communicate. You can isolate groups of devices on the same channel or just use the key to ensure the data cannot be read by somebody else. Straightpoint SW-SB U ANUAL... -

The battery level applies to the voltage seen after 3V regulation. The default is 2.2V and can be left at this when the repeater is powered externally. If the repeater is battery powered and you wish to disable this feature select 2.0V Straightpoint SW-SB U ANUAL... -

Usually using batteries, the SW-SB would be utilising the SleepDelay to return to sleep. Therefore the actual daily usage would allow for far greater than the stated battery life. For example: If the SW-SB was used for 1 hour per day then the battery life would be 6840 hours or 288 days or nearly 10 months.
