System Communications
Note: Multiple repeaters may be necessary to provide adequate coverage. Up to five (5) Hybrid Repeaters (RF and
Wired combined) may be used with each 8 Series
Repeater Link).

RF Communications Notes
• Hybrid Repeaters must be located within 9 m (30 ft.)* of the system devices they are covering.
• Hybrid Repeaters must also be within 18 m (60 ft.)* of another repeater (when using more than 1).
Wired Communications Notes
• Hybrid Repeater Link wiring must be in a daisy chain configuration.
• The total length of any single wire run on the Hybrid Repeater Link may be up to 305 m (1000 ft.). If the wire run is
broken with an RF hop (see Example 2), a subsequent wire run can be started that can be an additional 305 m
(1000 ft.).
