Installation Instructions Please Read Before Installing Overview HomeWorks Hybrid Repeaters add RF capability to HomeWorks processors configured with a Hybrid Repeater Link and provide an additional coverage area for radio frequency (RF) signals sent between HomeWorks RF Dimmers/Switches, RF Keypads, and RF Processors. Each repeater covers a sphere of approximately 2500 square feet (232m2) of living space. Up to five (5) repeating devices may be placed in a HomeWorks RF system (a HomeWorks RF Processor counts as one of the repeating devices). Important Notes Codes: Install in accordance with all local and nation-
al electrical codes. Power: The Hybrid Repeater can be powered from EITHER of two sources:
1. Adapter power. Use only the adapter pro-
vided with the Hybrid Repeater (Lutron model # T120-9DC-3-WH). Caution - Using an adapter not rated at the following specifications could damage the repeater and possibly overheat the adapter. Input: 120 V 60 Hz Output: 9 V 300 mA NEC Class 2; IEC PELV 2. Link power. Use only power supplied via a HomeWorks Processor Hybrid Repeater Link or a HomeWorks auxiliary power sup-
ply. (See section about the HWI-PS in the HomeWorks Technical Reference Guide or Application Note HW-104.) Each hybrid repeater counts as 30 LEDs. Note: An RF Processor does not supply power on the Hybrid Repeater Link. Environment: Ambient operating temperature:
32-104F (0-40C), 0-90% humidity, non-condensing. Indoor use only.

The total length of wire on the Hybrid Repeater Link may be up to 1000 feet (305 m), and may contain up to five (5) Hybrid Repeaters. Cleaning: To clean, wipe with a clean damp cloth. DO NOT use any chemical cleaning solutions. Device Placement: HomeWorks Hybrid Repeaters must be located within 30 feet (9 m) of the RF Dimmers, Switches, and Keypads they are covering. Hybrid Repeaters must also be within 60 feet (18 m) of an RF Processor or another repeater when using the RF Link for repeater-to-repeater or repeater-to-
processor communication. When using the Wired Link for repeater-to-repeater or repeater-to-processor com-
munication, a total wire length of 1000 feet (305 m) may be used. FCC Information NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, persuant to part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. 1 Installation 1. Find a suitable location for the Hybrid Repeater. Place the repeater in a convenient and accessible location. Note: Hybrid Repeaters must be within 60 feet (18 m) of an RF Processor or another repeater when using the RF Link for repeater-to-repeater or repeater-to-processor communication. 2. Connect Hybrid Repeater Link (if applicable). Connect the Hybrid Repeater Link communication wires from the HomeWorks Processor (or previous Hybrid Repeater in the daisy chain) to the terminal block on the Hybrid Repeater (see Wiring Diagram). Each terminal will accept up to three 22-18 AWG (0.5-1.0 mm2) wires. Note: If using the plug-in adapter to power the repeater, DO NOT connect the +15 V terminal
(terminal 2). 3. Apply power to the Hybrid Repeater. If the Hybrid Repeater is to be powered by the Hybrid Repeater Link, apply power by turning on the HomeWorks Processor. If the Hybrid Repeater is to be powered by the plug-in adapter, insert the adapter cord plug into the jack on the Hybrid Repeater, then plug the adpater into a standard wall receptacle. STATUS and TEST LEDs will be dimly lit when first powered Wall Mounting Hybrid Repeaters may be wall mounted using the supplied wall bracket. 1. Attach wall bracket to wall using the supplied screws and wall anchors. UP 2. Place power cord into notches at top and bottom of wall bracket. Wrap excess power cord around the cord holder. Route Hybrid Repeater Link wiring through hole in wall bracket and out through side cutout. Align repeater and snap onto wall bracket.

To activate the tests, press and hold the TEST Button until the TEST LED begins to flash. Note: For communication tests, the Hybrid Repeater, HomeWorks Processor, and other RF devices must first be configured and addressed using the HomeWorks Illumination Software. TEST LED A slow flash indicates RF communications tests are in progress STATUS LED Indicates the status of the HomeWorks system. Note: When the Hybrid Repeater is powered, but has not yet been assigned an address from the HomeWorks Illumination Software, the STATUS and TEST LEDs will be dimly illuminated.
