WARNING

Dangerous voltages are present. Equipment damage, personal injury, and death can result if 

safety precautions are not followed. Use authorized utility procedures to install, test, and service the RLY-800. 

Introduction

This instructional leaflet contains general installation 
information for the RLY-800 Radio Frequency Relay.

The RLY-800 is a component of the Cooper Power 
Systems™ RF mesh network that is used to enhance 
two-way communications coverage. 

Use the RLY-800 to: 

Build out the RF mesh network infrastructure in 
areas where end-points are too spread out to 
effectively form a mesh network

Extend RF communications into rural areas

Build out a communications network for demand 
response, C&I metering or water metering before 
residential AMI meters are installed

The device can be powered from a street light, 
transformer or other power source.

Three configurations are available for the RLY-800:

Internal antenna

External attached antenna

External remote antenna

No special test equipment or programming is 
required to install the RLY-800 in the field. Once 
powered up, the RLY-800 automatically connects to 
the Cooper Power Systems RF mesh network.
