Wireless Repeater for
TB7200/7600 Series
Wireless Thermostats
APPLICATION
The TB-RP5000W ZigBee®wireless repeater is designed for use
with Honeywelll TB7200 and TB7600 Series wireless thermostats.
The repeater is a low cost communication component for use when
some remote thermostats are too far from the main mesh of a
Honeywell device cluster and cannot communication with a
WEBs AX controller with a wireless communication card
(TB-VWG-APP-1014).
The additional repeater(s) will enable the remote thermostat(s) to
establish communication and will act as bridge(s) to the main mesh.
The repeater(s) can typically be installed where most convenient.
Either on a wall or even in a suspended ceiling space if required.
More Information
We recommend downloading the integration reference document and if installing thermostats with occupancy sensor
covers, then also downloading the PIR Application Guide before you begin installation. All documentation is available
on http://customer.honeywell.com.

BASIC INITIAL DESIGN AND DEPLOYMENT
CONSIDERATIONS
Proper design considerations need to be addressed prior to any installation of a WEBs-AX controller with a the wireless
communication card (TB-VWG-APP-1014) and related wireless thermostats.
1. To properly avoid network interference with 802.11 Wi-Fi devices in the 2.4GHz spectrum range, Honeywell
recommends the use of 802.15.4 channels 15 or 25 only. 802.11 Wi-Fi transmissions overlap and may interfere
with other channel selection allowed by 802.15.4 (Channels 11 to 26).
2. Maximum distance between each node (thermostat or repeater) should be:
•Clear line of sight distance between 2 nodes should be under 100 feet (30M)
•Non-line of sight distance for typical drywall partitions made with metal stud frame should be under 30 feet
(10M)
3. Ensure that the minimum distance between any Honeywell ZigBee node and any Wi-Fi devices (wireless routers,
wireless adapters, lap-tops using wireless networks, etc.) is at least 3 feet (1 M) and preferably 10 feet (3 M) or
more.
4. Ensure that at least one thermostat is within 30 feet of the WEBs-AX controller with wireless communication card
for every cluster of 10 thermostats installed.
5. Always try to locate the WEBs-AX controller near the center of all associated wireless thermostats, if possible.
6. Always try to locate the WEBs-AX controller near or in line of sight to as many wireless thermostats as possible.
7. Try to avoid metal, brick walls or concrete obstructions between wireless devices as much as possible.
8. Make sure the antenna on the WEBs-AX controller is always perpendicular to the floor.
9. Avoid placing the WEBs-AX controller and thermostats near metal or enclosed in metal boxes. If the WEBs-AX
controller needs to be installed inside a metal cabinet, use the remote antenna accessory (TB-RA-1014).

TB-RP5000W Deployment Considerations
When Honeywell wireless thermostat cannot be discovered or added to a WEBs-AX controller database due to
distance, the use of repeaters to bridge communication back to the WEBs-AX controller is necessary.
The number of repeater(s) necessary depends on how many devices are not able to join the WEBs-AX controller and
how they are organized and distanced from each other.
• Clear line of sight distance between 2 nodes should be under 100 feet (30 M)
• Non line of sight distance for typical wall gypsum partitions made with metal stud frame should be under 30 feet
(10M)
If a single thermostat is too far away and cannot join the main network a single repeater may be used (Fig. 5).
Fig. 5. Single remote thermostat
If a single thermostat is too far away and cannot join the main network with a single repeater, multiple repeaters can be
used to increase the covered communication distance to the required coverage expected (Fig. 6).
Fig. 6. Single remote thermostat with multiple repeaters
If two or more thermostats are too far away and cannot join the main network a single repeater may be used as long as
the cluster of devices are at recommended distances for the main network deployment (Fig. 7).

REPEATER STATUS LED
IMPORTANT
Be sure all thermostats/repeaters connected to a WEBs-AX controller have the same PAN ID and Channel as
the WEBs-AX wireless communication card (TB-VWG-APP-1014).
Table 1. Repeater Wireless Adapter LED Status Indicators
Table 2. System Troubleshooting Recommendations
STATUS DISPLAY INSTRUCTIONS
The repeater features a two-line, eight-character display.
When left unattended after configuration, the repeater will display its currently assigned
communication address.
1 x 200ms short blink Power on
2 x 200ms short blinks Power on and adapter communicating with repeater base
3 x 200ms short blinks Power on, adapter communicating with repeater base and there is connectivity to wireless
network
4 x 200ms short blinks Power on, adapter communicating with repeater base, connectivity to wireless network
and WEBs-AX controller is communicating with wireless repeater
4 x 200ms short blinks and
1 x 1500ms long blink
Power on, adapter communicating with repeater base, connectivity to wireless network
and WEBs-AX controller is communicating with wireless repeater
1. If a repeater is not detected by the WEBs-AX controller, verify that the LED is blinking at least 4 times. If it is only
blinking twice, ensure that the PAN ID and Channel of the thermostat and repeater are the same as the
WEBs-AX controller it must communicate with.
2. When commissioning a network, use channels 15 or 25. Alternate these channels between floors.
3. If a particular repeater or thermostat refuses to join the network and cannot be seen by the WEBs-AX controller,
move the device closer to the WEBs-AX controller until it has joined the network and it is added to the database.
It can then be re-located to its original position.
