Placement of a Repeater
The optimal location of a repeater is half-way
between the base station and the hard-to-see
sensor (Sensor 2) at least 5 feet above the ground.
The repeater may be placed inside the building if a
suitable location can be found. It is OK to locate it
within a closet provided AC power is available.
(Option 1)
Alternatively, the repeater may be positioned outside
in a location with few obstructions between it and
the sensor and base station. (Option 2) Up to 300
ft of low voltage buriable wire may be spliced onto
the transformer wire to extend placement if the AC
outlet is not conveniently located at this position.
Should Option 1 or 2 not be available, a location on
the outside of the building near an AC outlet may be
used. (Option 3)
Placement may require some trial and error until
a reliable signal is established between the sensor
and the base station.
