Repeater Location
Repeaters (RC5040-20T) provide the backbone of the SmartAlert Wireless System. To ensure adequate coverage,
Repeaters may need to be placed strategically throughout the facility. When mounting Repeaters, it is important to
mount them away from any immediate obstacles, large metal objects, and as high as possible so they can receive
messages easily. It is recommended that Repeaters are arranged in triangle patterns, to promote signal strength,
as shown below. If mounting Repeaters in a building with more than one floor, use offset triangles from floor
to floor to maximize signal strength efficiency.
