When is it recommended to add a repeater?
In the example below, each of the Level 1 modules (those closest and
directly connected to the receiver) are repeaters for several Level 2
modules. Here, the system is optimized by adding a repeater. In this case,
with Autoconnect activated in Smart-Vue Client, battery life in the Level
1 modules is protected, yet the modules can serve as repeaters if there is a
problem with the dedicated repeater.
The number of modules per
receiver is over 15

Situations after installation using

Module
operation
as repeaters
Solution
All modules of the same level
are repeaters for 3 other modules
(see Figure 10)
You may leave
auto-connect
active (in
Smart-Vue
Client), but it
will not be used
by modules.
Revisit the
configuration
manually and
add a standard
repeater (see
Figure 11)
Over 50% of the end-point
modules are attached to the
receiver via 2 or 3 modules
(Level 2 or 3, as in Figure 13).
Auto-connect
may be
activated and it
will be
operational.
Module battery
life will be
affected.
To protect
battery life in
Level 1
modules, revisit
receiver
position in order
to reduce the
number of
modules acting
as repeaters, or
add a TCP/IP
receiver (Figure
14 and Figure
15)
A majority of the modules (over
50%) are directly attached to the
receiver, or via one other
module.
Auto-connect
may be
activated.
Battery life is
optimized
