MCX-610
Wireless Repeater for PowerCode Communications
Installation Instructions
1.
INTRODUCTION
The MCX-610 is a range extender designed to relay digital data
between wireless devices and a control panel. Repeater links are
required when the control panel is beyond the range of at least
some of the devices and is therefore incapable of receiving
transmissions directly (see Figure 1).
Devices whose message transmissions need to be repeated by
the repeater must be enrolled to the repeater and to the control
panel.
