High Power Repeater Installation and
Configuration
4.1 High Power Repeater Installation
The Inovonics high power repeater intelligently amplifies transmission from
any EchoStream series end device while ignoring background noise. Virtually
any number of repeaters can be added to a system, scaling the system size as
needed.
• For installation instructions and more information: http://

Repeaters will automatically be discovered in the Radius system during the
installation process, but not yet enrolled.
4.1.1 Configure Repeaters
In a Radius system, repeaters are also used to determine the location of end
devices in alarm. The minimum signal strength can be adjusted to fine-tune
the repeater’s location capability. The higher you set the minimum signal
strength, the closer the device in alarm must be to the repeater for the location
to be determined. For example, setting a minimum signal strength of ten dB
will only report location information for alarms with a signal strength of higher
than ten dB.
To adjust the minimum signal strength:
1 Access the Radius interface and log in.
2 Click “Install Setup.”
3 Click on “Process Setup.”
