How to space wireless repeaters
We really do not have limitations on the size of the area to be covered. What is important to know is the size of the area to be covered as you would place repeaters to extend the range as needed. A single repeater will give an approximate coverage area of 80 feet (radius). You should space the repeaters so that no transmitters, button stations, or pendants are further than 80 from the closest repeater.
How to install wireless repeaters
Installation of wireless repeaters - these repeaters do communicate wirelessly but they come with a plug-in style transformer as they do need to be powered by a 102volt outlet. Some installers prefer to run a low voltage wire from the repeater back to a convenient 120V outlet location or communication room.
This calculator is designed to provide an estimate of the number of wireless repeaters needed based on standard building construction and layout. Actual coverage may vary due to structural materials, interference, and building design. Thorough on-site testing is strongly recommended to ensure proper placement and complete coverage.
