Introduction
This instructional leaflet contains general installation
information for the RLY-800 Radio Frequency Relay.
The RLY-800 is a component of the Cooper Power
Systems™ RF mesh network that is used to enhance
two-way communications coverage.
Use the RLY-800 to:
Build out the RF mesh network infrastructure in
areas where end-points are too spread out to
effectively form a mesh network
Extend RF communications into rural areas
Build out a communications network for demand
response, C&I metering or water metering before
residential AMI meters are installed
WARNING Dangerous voltages are present. Equipment damage, personal injury, and death can result if
safety precautions are not followed. Use authorized utility procedures to install, test, and service the RLY-800.
RLY-800 Radio Frequency Relay
The device can be powered from a street light,
transformer or other power source.
Three configurations are available for the RLY-800:
No special test equipment or programming is
required to install the RLY-800 in the field. Once
powered up, the RLY-800 automatically connects to
the Cooper Power Systems RF mesh network.
