 Roboguard 

33

 
 
 
The Repeater Station is particularly effective in commercial or 
residential/townhouse applications, where the receiver is in a Guard 
hut and the Roboguards are mounted at great distance or in obscure 
locations. 
The repeater can be used to improve the range of the Roboguard 
Remote. 
The uRx and uTx housing is not waterproof so the Repeater Station 
should be mounted under cover or in a suitable waterproof box if 
outdoors. 

 

(see uTx Manual for configuration options)
