Repeater Applications
The following procedures describe how to:
• Install a WCI as a repeater.
• Change a WCI from device association to repeater.
For more information about the use of repeaters with Air-Fi Wireless, see Air-Fi® Network Design
Installation, Operation, and Maintenance manual (BAS-SVX55*-EN).
Installation Procedure
Note: Consult the figures shown in the previous “Controller Applications,” p. 26 subsection as you
perform the steps in the following procedure.
1. Remove the WCI cover by firmly pressing the thumb tab at the bottom of the cover and pulling the
cover away from the back plate.
Note: If present, remove the security screw before removing the cover.
2. Secure the backplate to the mounting surface using appropriate hardware. (M3.5 x 20 mm self-
drilling screws are provided.)
3. Address the unit.
4. Attach the 4-connector screw terminal block on the wiring harness to the receptacle on the WCI.
5. Remove the blue (IMC+) and gray (IMC-) wires from the wiring harness.
6. Connect the red (24 Vdc/Vac) wire and black (ground) wire through the opening in the backplate (a)
or the bottom exit port (b) to a 24 V power source (AC or DC). See Figure 8, p. 27.
7. Apply power to the WCI.

8. You are now ready to add the repeater to an existing network (refer to “Adding WCIs to an Existing
Network Using Tracer TU,” p. 68 or “Adding WCIs to an Existing Network Using a WCI,” p. 68. To
proceed with establishing a new network refer to “Establishing an Air-Fi® Network,” p. 60 .
Note: When the repeater is added, its DIAG LED blinks constantly. This behavior is normal.
Changing a WCI from Device Association to Repeater
If the WCI communication wire was previously connected to a controller, return the WCI to its default
configuration as follows:
1. Set its rotary address switch to 0,0 (the WCI must be powered).
2. Observe its LEDs blink On briefly (<1 second). (It takes about 10 seconds for the blink to occur.)
You are now ready to add the repeater to an existing network (refer to “Adding WCIs to an Existing
Network Using Tracer TU,” p. 68 or “Adding WCIs to an Existing Network Using a WCI,” p. 68. To
proceed with establishing a new network (refer to )“Establishing an Air-Fi® Network,” p. 60 .
Note: When the repeater is added, its DIAG LED blinks constantly. This behavior is normal.
