LUTRON HOMEWORKS® QS HYBRID RF REPEATER

LUT-HQK-REP

HomeWorks® QS Hybrid Repeaters add wireless Radio Frequency (RF) communication and extend the range of RF signals that are sent between dimmers, switches, keypads, visor control receivers, shades and drapes and other devices. Repeaters ensure error free communication between system components and prevent interference from neighbouring systems.

The first repeater connects to the HomeWorks® QS processor to provide RF communication that extends up to 9m / 30ft in every direction. Up to 4 total Hybrid Repeaters can be used per link to extend the RF range for larger system applications. Each repeater has an RF range of 9m / 30ft between repeater and devices or 18m / 60ft between repeaters, covering a total area of approximately 232m² / 2500sq ft.

FEATURES

Test Button enters the RF Repeater test mode
Activate button provides repeater activation within system
RS485 port to connect to the HomeWorks® QS RF link and to other repeaters through a wired link (daisy chain)
