Product overview
The VRP5000W1000W wireless repeater has been specifically designed to be
used within a Viconics wireless ZigBee network for Viconics wireless controllers.
The repeater is intended to be a low cost additional communication component
used when some remote controllers are too far from the main mesh of Viconics
device cluster and cannot communicate with either:
A VWG ( Viconics Wireless Gateway )
OR
A JACE wireless communication card and related WirelessStatNetwork driver file that have been
specifically designed to be used by the Niagara AX® powered JACE controllers.
The repeater(s) will enable the remote controller(s) to re-establish communication and act as bridge(s) to the
main mesh.
The repeater(s) can be installed where most convenient such as a wall or in a suspended ceiling space if
required.
