AC POWERED REPEATER
Overview
The Model AR-5 Repeater, UL Listed 864 Accessory Device, is an addressable
bi-directional repeater which is used to form a wireless network which
receives, screens, verifies, and retransmits low power radio signals from other
CWSI wireless initiating devices, repeaters and control panels. In addition to
providing RF signaling within the installation, the AR-5 provides two supervised
addressable Notification Appliance Circuits (NACs). An optional RM-5 Plug-
in Relay Module adds 5 Form C Relays to the AR-5.
