LED Operation
Three LEDs display repeater operation and activity. Refer to the table below as required.

Installing the Wireless Repeater

power supply, mount the repeater away from the metal power supply enclosure. If the repeater is powered from
theoptionalModel376plug-inpowersupply,locatetherepeaternearawalloutletnotcontrolledbyaswitch.The
1100R Wireless Repeater is typically mounted between the 1100 Series Receiver and the 1100 Series transmitter(s)
that are out of range. Locate as far from the 1100 Receiver as needed to provide the required system range. Install

Remove the cover from the plastic housing by squeezing both sides toward each other. Secure the repeater to the
wall in the desired location using the supplied screws in the mounting hole locations as shown in Figure 1. Snap the
cover back on the unit after observing LED operation.
