RF RepeaterBasics

• RF repeaters are used where transmitter and
  receiver
• are too far apart, or where construction
  materials or
• appliances inside the house lead to radio signal
• attenuations.General planning rule
• If the radio path exceeds 30 meters or covers
• more than 2 concrete ceilings or floors,
• an RF repeater should be included right from
• the start
• In all other types of plant, RF repeaters are
  not
• normally required. Nevertheless, should
• radio control range problems occur, a repeater
• can also be fitted at a later stage
• In case of critical radio links, repeaters should
  physically be installed between the transmitter
  and the receiver wherever possible.

Device list For runtime operation, the RF
repeaters are to be configured in a way that they
only repeat the telegrams from selected devices.
For that purpose, each repeater receives its
device list from the central apartment unit.
During commissioning, the RF repeaters repeat
all telegrams.

RF RepeaterBasics
Topology An RF repeater repeats the following
telegrams sent by the central apartment unit

• Individual telegrams sent to a device on the
  repeaters device list e.g. room setpoint
  readjustment on room unit (applies only to
  this device)
• Group telegrams from groups in which at least
  one device is contained on its device list
  e.g. room temperature setpoint (applies to
  all in a room group)
• System broadcast telegrams Central unit to all
  e.g. manual overriding of valves (applies to
  all in the apartment system)

The ERF910 repeater is suited for repeating the
telegrams from both Synco 900 and GAMMA wave
devices. Hager products require their own Hager
repeaters.

RF RepeaterBasic Configuration
The ERF910 repeater can also be used for
repeating the telegrams from devices that require
no functional connection to the central apartment
unit. These devices must be connected to the
central apartment unit, enabling the RF repeater
to obtain its respective device list from the
central apartment unit. Main menu gt
