Tip: To regain network control of programmed sensors adjust the GS550 to “network controller”
(menu 4I1, see the procedure above), shut the display off, and then start it again.
Repeater
Communication between a GS550 and a programmed sensor can be routed through a different
programmed sensor (repeater). This can be done either to extend the range of the network or to
assist communication around a large radio obstacle. The battery life of the sensor repeated
(source) will be reduced by about a year
*
. The battery life of the sensor repeater will be reduced to
35 days
†
. This function should not be used where it is not required.
