R-TEC Smart Controls - ARC™ USB Signal Repeater
ARC™ USB Signal Repeaters extend the wireless range of the R-TEC Hub
or Remotes up to 60'. Maximum of 2 repeaters per system or network.
Simply plug into USB Wall Charger for easy install.
In some instances, the remote signal may not reach all motors; simply
plug in the ARC™ repeater near the suspected out of range motors. If you
have an instance whereby not all motors are responding or responding
intermittently, the ARC™ repeater will double the range you currently get.
FEATURES
FACTORS THAT AFFECT YOUR RANGE
Simple Test
Function
2-Way RF
Communication
• Metal is the biggest factor that affects your range; even if there is a metal roof, the remote signal bounces around the house
and a metal roof absorbs the signal.
• Solid Brick walls will heavily affect the range and absorb and reduce the signal.
• Wall tiles and glass.
• Other metal frames' electrical cables.
• Microwave signal; even a residential microwave will shorten the range (while its running).
