Page 6: Installation
INSTALLATION CHOOSING THE RIGHT LOCATION Your choice of installation locations for your Aria transmitter(s) and receiver(s), particularly their antennas, can have a significant effect on their range and speed of communication. Where possible: Keep the antenna away from conduit or metal objects. -
Page 7: Objective 1: Extending Range
• When obstructed: 300’ (91m) Ensure that the transmitter, receiver and range extender are all set to the same radio channel. The Aria Range Extender will receive the original signal, amplify it and re-transmit it. Aria Transmitter See page 8 Up to 2600’... -
Page 8: Objective 2: Boosting Signals In Hard To Reach Areas
Position the Aria Range Extender between the Aria Transmitter and the Aria Receiver such that it is visible to both. If necessary, use more than one Aria Range Extender (see page 7) to form a reliable chain between the start and end points:... -
Page 9: Using Multiple Aria Range Extenders
USING MULTIPLE ARIA RANGE EXTENDERS Up to five Aria Range Extenders can be used together, with each passing the signal on to the next. This allows larger distances to be covered and the reliable delivery of the signal to a wide span of receivers (and/or Aria-equipped fixtures) at every stage. -
Page 10: Transmitter Must Have Later Firmware
If an Aria module has a manufacture date earlier than December 2019 you will need to either swap it for a later model or return it to Acclaim Lighting for a firmware upgrade before it can be successfully used to transmit to an Aria Range Extender. -
Page 11: Mounting
MOUNTING IMPORTANT: When installing outdoors, the Aria Range Extender must be wall mounted with its connectors facing downwards to ensure that full ingress protection is achieved.

Page 12: Connections
CONNECTIONS On the underside face of the Aria Range Extender unit, there is a fixed power cord via a sealed gland as well as a moisture-proof air vent and the antenna port. ANTENNA CONNECTION Wherever possible, ensure the antenna has a clear path to that of the paired Aria unit(s). - Page 13 POWER WIRING The power cord enters the casing via a water-tight gland on the underside of the Aria Range Extender unit. The power cord is supplied with bare tails and is roughly 4.5 feet (1.4m) in length. The power requirements are as follows: •...

WiFi. Aria units use the ISM band in a different manner than WiFi and the two can coexist. However, where distances between Aria units are great and WiFi access points are reasonably close, then interference can become an issue. -

TROUBLESHOOTING Aria Range Extender does not re-transmit the incoming signal. • Check the Aria Transmitter that is supplying the signal. It must have a manufacture date (shown on the rear label) of December 2019 or later. See page 8.
