RF Smart Repeater
Model SR731
INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The RF Smart Repeater is designed to increase the range of X10 wireless
remote controls, motion sensors, and security products that operate at 310
MHz. It does this by boosting and retransmitting RF signals it receives from
those products. You should locate the RF Smart Repeater somewhere centrally
between the product you are transmitting from and the product you want to
receive the repeated commands. In some instances you might need to
experiment with the location so that the receiver doesn’t see the repeated
commands as well as the original commands, although in most instances this is
not likely to be a problem.
