Figure 1 One receiver (RCW...) and two repeaters (A and B)
To pair
Repeater A
with
Repeater B
:
1. In
Normal mode
, slide DIP switch 1 to the ON position on
Repeater
B
to put it into
Pairing mode
.
Repeater B
will emit 1 long beep and
the yellow LED will flash slowly (1 flash every 2 seconds).
2. Press the
function button
on
Repeater A
, it will emit 1 long beep and
the blue LED will light up for 1 second to indicate successful pairing.
If
Repeater B
receives the pairing signal from
Repeater A
, it will emit
1 long beep and the blue LED will light up for 1 second to indicate
successful pairing.
If
Repeater B
receives the pairing signal from
Repeater A
and
Repeater A
was already paired,
Repeater B
will emit 2 beeps and the
blue LED will light up for 1 second.
3. When the pairing is complete, slide DIP switch 1 of
Repeater B
to
the OFF position.
Repeater B
will emit 1 long beep, the yellow LED
will turn off as
Repeater B
returns to
normal mode
.
4. Pair the repeaters with the receiver RCW-M32.

No
ottee!! Do not cross-pair the repeaters, i.e. do not pair R

A with
R
Reeppeeaatteerr BB as well as R

Figure 2 Example 1: Receiver RCW-M32, repeaters A, B and C, with signal ranges,
and sensor D
In some circumstances, multiple repeaters must be used to get the
desired signal range. The repeaters must be paired with each other first,
and then paired with the receiver.
Always start pairing the repeaters from the furthest repeater from the
receiver to the one closest to the receiver, see example 1 below.
Example 1:
1. Start with the repeater that is furthest away from the receiver. Pair it
with the repeater that is one step closer to the receiver.
–
Repeater C
must be paired with
repeater B
. Do
not
pair
repeater B
with
repeater C
.
2. Continue in this way - pair the repeater further away from the
receiver with the one that is one step closer to the receiver until you
are at the repeater that is closest to the receiver.
–
Repeater B
must be paired with
repeater A
. Do not pair
repeater A
with
repeater B
.
–
Repeater A
must be paired with the receiver.
3. Pair
all
repeaters with the receiver individually
4. Pair sensors with the repeater(s) closest to the sensor:
–
Sensor D
is paired with
repeater C
since it is closest to
repeater
C
–
Sensor D
is
not
paired with
repeater A
and
B
5. Pair all sensors, that are paired to a repeater, with the receiver:
N
Noottee!! It is strongly suggested to keep a distance between each repeater
and/or receiver to avoid cross signalling.
N
Noottee!! It is strongly recommended to pair a sensor directly to the receiver
if it is within an acceptable signal range for the receiver, and not go
through a repeater.

Figure 3 Example 2: Receiver RCW-M32, repeaters A, B and C, with signal ranges,
and sensor D
In this example the sensor is located within the signal ranges of
repeater
B
and
C
. Users can choose to pair it with
repeater B
only, pair it with
repeater C
only, or pair it with both
repeater B
and
C
. It is
recommended to pair the sensor with the repeater with the best signal
strength for the sensor.
N
No
ottee!! In this example, rreeppeeaatteerr C
C is also paired with rreeppeeaatteerr A
A or BB or
both so the signals from rreeppeeaatteerr C
C can be transmitted to the receiver
through rreeppeeaatteerr A
A or BB, or either.
