UNIT DESCRIPTION
Use the Miro™ MRR2 Wireless Repeater in large
installations, where the standard range (approximately
25m/80’) is insufficient, or in buildings with difficult
wireless reception conditions.
The wireless repeater effectively doubles the
transmit/receive range of Miro wireless devices. In
large applications or where radio reception is difficult,
you may use two repeaters, strategically located.
For extremely large or difficult applications requiring more than two repeaters,
please contact Technical Support for assistance.
The wireless repeater also offers a security feature — real life occupancy
emulation. It continuously records a one-week loop of actual Miro wireless
network traffic, and can play it back when you’re away from home — it will look
like the house is occupied.
While we recommend the repeater for either or both of these functions, you
should use only the number required for effective wireless communication
throughout the home. Using too many repeaters will not provide any additional
benefit and may slow down network communication. For in-depth system design
guidance, see Application Assistance, below.
Miro Wireless
Miro wireless devices use radio signals to communicate with each other to
control lighting and other types of electric loads in selected areas. Miro wireless
devices use the 900MHz band for high-speed control communication. Using
The Watt Stopper’s own “frequency-agile” Top Dog™ technology, Miro wireless
devices avoid interference with other 900MHz devices, such as cordless phones
and baby monitors.
Application Assistance
The Miro Installation Guide provides more information about configuring
the Miro wireless control system, including setting up scenes and presets.
Instructions for installation and use are included with the relevant Miro wireless
devices. Application support information, the Specification Guide and the Miro
Installation Guide is available online.
SET HOUSE ID
All Miro wireless devices installed in the same home must acquire the same
unique House ID before use. This process is known as house binding. Each Miro
wireless device is bound to all other Miro wireless devices in the house.
IMPORTANT: Because the repeater increases the range of the Miro wireless
system, it is very important to make sure the repeater is installed and powered
before setting the House ID using any other Miro wireless device. The repeater
automatically checks for House IDs that are installed in the neighborhood.
New Installation
1. With all devices installed and
energized, make sure that every
Miro wireless device LED is
yellow. If any LED is off, be sure
the circuit breaker is on and the
device is correctly installed.
2. Press on any device until the
LED flashes yellow (about 2
seconds). This indicates that it
has acquired a unique House ID.
3. Make sure that all other Miro wireless device LEDs are flashing green,
indicating that they have acquired the same House ID.
4. Return to the device used in step 2, which is still flashing yellow. Press
until the LED changes to solid green (about 2 seconds). All device LEDs in the
House change to solid green, indicating house binding is complete.
Adding a Device to an Existing Installation
If you’re adding or replacing a device in a Miro wireless installation that is
already operating, the new device must acquire the same House ID as the other
Miro wireless devices in the house. After the new device is powered up, the LED
should be solid yellow. This indicates that it has not yet acquired a House ID. To
acquire the House ID for the existing system:
1. Press on any previously bound device until the LED flashes yellow (about 2
seconds).
2. Verify that the newly added device LED is flashing green, indicating that it has
acquired the House ID.
3. Return to the same previously bound device used in step 1 and press until
the LED changes to solid green (about 2 seconds). All device LEDs should now
be solid green.
INSTALLATION
1. Locate the repeater in a central location, taking into consideration both the
horizontal and vertical space in the home. In a 2-story plus basement home, a
good position may be on the first floor atop a bookcase.
2. Plug the external power supply into a convenient 120 volt outlet, and connect
the power cord to the repeater’s power socket.
3. The status LED will light yellow, indicating that the unit is ready for
configuration.
Do not locate the MRR2 Wireless Repeater close to
any device that may cause interference or behind
large metal objects that can block radio reception.
Avoid fluorescent light fixtures, TV sets, computers,
refrigerators, microwave ovens, range hoods, safes, etc.
OPERATION
Wireless Range Boost
Once the repeater is bound to the House, it automatically receives and
retransmits all wireless Miro network traffic in the House, effectively doubling
the range of all devices sharing the same House ID.
Occupancy Emulation
The repeater stores a 7-day record of actual network traffic. It constantly keeps it
up to date to account for seasonal variations in lighting use.
1. Press the Away button. One minute
later the repeater starts playing back
a seven-day loop of wireless Miro
commands. It will be just like the last
week you spent at home.
2. When you come back, press Home,
or any button on any wireless
Miro device in the home to cancel
occupancy emulation.
Power Fail Memory
After a power failure, all Miro devices
automatically return to the state that
they were in immediately prior to loss
of power. All configuration and scene
control information is preserved.
When you see
in the instructions,
firmly press and
hold both buttons
on the MRR2 until
the LED changes
(about 2 seconds).
