This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital devices, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If
this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be
determined by turning the equipment o and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one of more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit dierent from that to which
the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
WARNING: Changes or modications not expressly approved by Monnit could void the user’s
authority to operate the equipment.
RF EXPOSURE WARNING: To satisfy FCC RF exposure requirements for mobile transmitting
devices, a separation distance of 20 cm or more should be maintained between the antenna
of this device and persons during device operation. To ensure compliance, operations at
closer than this distance are not recommended. The antenna used for this transmitter must
not be co-located in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
The primary function of the Range Extender is to act as a range extender in places
where wireless sensors are out of range of a Monnit wireless gateway.

Monnit Wireless Range Extender Principle of Operation
On power up, the range extender will locate a gateway that has the
“best” wireless signal available. The device then auto-congures itself
to communicate and link with this gateway. After linking with the parent
gateway, it then establishes itself as a sub-network with it’s own dedicated
channel to the gateway, relieving congestion from multi-sensor networks.
Delays Associated with Using Wireless Range Extenders
Data coming from a sensor is delivered to a range extender and forwarded
onto the gateway. In all implementations where network trac is kept
below 6 messages per minute, the worst-case lag through a range
extender to the network is 20 seconds. If more than 6 messages are generated by wireless sensors talking through a range extender, it is possible
to experience data lag beyond 20 seconds.
Monnit Wireless Range Extender Features
• Extends the coverage area of your wireless sensor network.
• Supports 6 messages / minute.
• Built in memory can queue up to 30,000 messages for delivery to
the gateway.
• AC powered, so no batteries needed.
* Important - If the range extender is unplugged or loses power, all
sensor messages stored on the device will be lost!

Using the Wireless Range Extender
1. Adding a Wireless Range Extender to a Sensor Network
Monnit wireless range extenders can be added to any Monnit sensor
network through the iMonnit online sensor monitoring software.
Steps to add Wireless Range Extenders to your Sensor Network.
• Choose “Manage” from the main navigation.
• Select the network you would like to add the range extenders to.
• Find the bottom of the section “Sensor List / Assign Sensor”.
• Enter the ID and Security Code from the back label of the
range extender.
• Press the “Assign Sensor” button.
• Repeat this process to add more range extenders to the network.
Once the range extender has been added to your network, you will need
to update and push the sensor device list to your range extender so it
knows what sensors to allow communication with. For a USB gateway,
go to the Monnit gateway application/service and click “Download
Sensor Updates”. For an Ethernet gateway, power cycle the device by
unplugging it, waiting 10 seconds then plugging it back in. For a
Cellular gateway, use the power button to turn it o, wait 10 seconds
then turn it back on.
After resetting the gateway, plug the range extender into an AC wall
outlet. The range extender will have a green light when it has found the
network. If the light is steady red, check the network, unplug it and try
again.
