New repeater will appear under Repeaters tab. “OK” saves and exits screen. “Cancel” exits screen
without saving.
Operation
Power supply
: A 14VAC transformer is provided with the FA5570.
Backup battery
: An optional 1.2AH 12VDC battery (not included) can be mounted outside the FA5570 hous-
ing. This is typically not used in submetering applications.
Low voltage detection
: The repeater will report low voltage if the supply voltage (either primary or backup)
drops into a preset range.
• AC power failure will not be reported directly—the TapWatch system will detect inactivity if repeater
power is off for the duration of the supervision period.
Supervision
: Once every 5 minutes, the repeater sends a check-in transmission to the receiver. The repeater
will be declared inactive if no check-ins are received before the expiration of the supervision period.
Test mode
: Pressing the Test button will cause the repeater to transmit its current status until the button is
released.
Note: Repeaters do not show a "Test" state. Status will be displayed as "OK", "Low Battery" or "Inactive".
