  Installation Guide

A. Transmission time is extremely fast as each transmission is consisted of one frame (contrary to 

transmission of 10 frames by customer’s transmitter), thus saving air time. When confirmation is not 
received, the Repeater continues to transmit the event until it is acknowledged. While retransmitting an 
event, new incoming events are stored in the buffer. 

B. Continuous bi-directional monitoring identifies failures in communication and events to the 

monitoring station.
