  • Page 3: Introduction / Overview

    Introduction / Overview The T24-AR 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.

    Many Providers Power Options The T24-AR 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.
