IMPORTANT NOTE if a module automatically reconnects to a different
receiver, the module’s alert handling, which depends on the sensor group
with which the module is associated, may be different than the initial
configuration.
This table presents our recommendations for adding modules for an initial
installation:
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 could be optimized by adding a repeater. In this case, with

recommended
The number of modules per receiver is 15 or fewer (here we are not counting
the total number of modules in the network, but only those that are connected
to a given receiver)
Yes Yes
The number of modules per receiver is over 15 Strongly not advised Yes

as repeaters
Solution
All modules of the same level are repeaters for 3 other
modules (refer Figure 60)
You may leave
auto-connect active
(in Smart-Vue Cli-
ent), but it will not be
used by modules.
In Smart-Vue Client, manually change
the wireless path for these 3 sensors,
replacing the module used as a repeater
by a dedicated repeater (refer Figure 61)
Over 50% of the modules are attached to the receiver via
2 or 3 modules (Level 2 or 3, as in Figure 63).
Auto-connect may be
activated and it will
be operational. Mod-
ule battery life will
be affected.
To protect battery life in Level 1 mod-
ules, revisit receiver position in order to
reduce the number of modules acting as
repeaters, or add a TCP/IP receiver
(Figure 64) or add a TCP/IP receiver
and connect some of the modules to this
new receiver (Figure 65)
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
