Product overview 

 

 

 

The  VRP5000W1000W  wireless  repeater  has  been  specifically  designed  to  be 
used within a Viconics wireless ZigBee network for Viconics wireless controllers.  
 
The  repeater  is  intended  to  be  a  low  cost  additional  communication  component 
used  when  some  remote  controllers  are  too  far  from  the  main  mesh  of  Viconics 
device cluster and cannot communicate with either: 
 

  A VWG ( Viconics Wireless Gateway ) 

 

OR  

 

  A  JACE  wireless  communication  card  and  related  WirelessStatNetwork  driver  file  that  have  been 

specifically designed to be used by the Niagara AX® powered JACE controllers. 

 
The repeater(s) will enable the remote controller(s) to re-establish communication and act as bridge(s) to the 
main mesh. 
 
The  repeater(s)  can  be  installed  where  most  convenient  such  as  a  wall  or  in  a  suspended  ceiling  space  if 
required.
