Important Notes
Codes: Install in accordance with all local and
national electrical codes.
Power: The Hybrid Repeater can be powered from
EITHER of two sources:
1. Adapter power. Use only the adapter
provided with the Hybrid Repeater (Lutron
model # T120-9DC-3-WH).
Caution - Using an adapter not rated at the
following specifications could damage the
repeater and possibly overheat the adapter.
• Input: 120 V 60 Hz
• Output: 9 V 300 mA
NEC
® Class 2; IEC PELV
2. Link power. Use only power supplied via a
HomeWorks Processor Hybrid Repeater
Link (8 Series
TM or 4 SeriesTM Processors
only) or a HomeWorks auxiliary power
supply. (See section about the HWI-PS in
the HomeWorks Technical Reference
Guide or Application Note HW-104.) Each
Hybrid Repeater counts as 15 LEDs.
Note: An RF Processor does not supply
power on the Hybrid Repeater Link.
Environment: Ambient operating temperature:
32-104 °F (0-40 °C), 0-90% humidity, non-condensing.
Indoor use only.
Hybrid Repeater Wiring: 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 1000 feet (305 m). The Hybrid
Repeater Link (all wire runs) may contain up to five (5)
Hybrid Repeaters total. Refer to Hybrid Repeater Link
(Wired) Communications (page 3).
Please Read Before Installing
Installation Instructions
Overview
HomeWorks Hybrid Repeaters add RF capability to
HomeWorks P5 processors configured with a Hybrid
Repeater Link and provide an additional coverage
area for radio frequency (RF) signals sent between
HomeWorks RF Dimmers/Switches, RF Shades, RF
Keypads, and RF Processors. Each repeater covers a
sphere of approximately 2500 square feet (232 m
2
) of
living space. Up to five (5) repeating devices may be
placed in a HomeWorks RF system (a HomeWorks
RF Processor counts as one of the repeating devices).

Compatibility Considerations
* Hybrid Repeater Link is available on models H4P5-HRL-120 and
H4P5-H48-HRL-120 only.
Cleaning: To clean, wipe with a clean damp cloth. DO
NOT use any chemical cleaning solutions.
Device Placement: HomeWorks Hybrid Repeaters
must be located within 30 feet (9 m) of the RF
Dimmers, Switches, Shades, and Keypads they are
covering. Hybrid Repeaters must also be within 60
feet (18 m) of an RF Processor or another repeater
when using the RF Link for repeater-to-repeater or
repeater-to-processor communication. When using the
Wired Link for repeater-to-repeater or repeater-toprocessor communication, a total wire length of 1000
feet (305 m) may be used.

supplied wall bracket.
1. Attach wall bracket to wall using the supplied
screws and wall anchors.
2. Place power cord into notches at top and bottom of
wall bracket. Wrap excess power cord around the
cord holder. Route Hybrid Repeater Link wiring
through hole in wall bracket and out through side
cutout. Align repeater and snap onto wall bracket.

Wiring
1. Find a suitable location for the Hybrid Repeater.
Place the repeater in a convenient and accessible
location. Note: Hybrid Repeaters must be within 60
feet (18 m) of an RF Processor or another repeater
when using the RF Link for repeater-to-repeater or
repeater-to-processor communication.
2. Connect Hybrid Repeater Link (if applicable).
Connect the Hybrid Repeater Link communication
wires from the HomeWorks®
Processor (or previous
Hybrid Repeater in the daisy chain) to the terminal
block on the Hybrid Repeater (see Wiring
Diagram). Each terminal will accept up to three
22-18 AWG (0.5-1.0 mm
2
) wires.
Note: If using the plug-in adapter to power the
repeater, DO NOT connect the +15 V terminal
(terminal 2).
3. Apply power to the Hybrid Repeater. If the
Hybrid Repeater is to be powered by the Hybrid
Repeater Link, apply power by turning on the
HomeWorks Processor. If the Hybrid Repeater is to
be powered by the plug-in adapter, insert the
adapter cord plug into the jack on the Hybrid
Repeater, then plug the adpater into a standard
wall receptacle.
