Having a clear line of sight between all your PROTOS Wireless Load Cell shackles and your base station is wishful thinking. The lay-out of truss structures, scenery, LED screens and the operator position are not dictated by the system but a result of a creative process. Repeating the signals at grid level allows more flexibility in the choice of the operator positions The Protos Active Repeater can be positioned anywhere in the area where your transmitters are. You do not need to configure any settings. It simply repeats all the signals received from the transmitters within range. The PLCS-WL-RM-800 is an active repeater which will allow the Protos range of transmitter modules to span around obstacles or increase range or coverage. The module provides a battery holder for a pair of alkaline ‘D’ cells and has the possibility to connect an external power supply. The batteries can also be used to provide power in case of external supply failure. The case is environmentally sealed to IP67. The repeater will allow messages to be repeated once which could double the radio range under ideal conditions. Adding more repeaters will not increase range but can increase coverage. The Active Repeater module is mounted in large weatherproof enclosure with battery holder for two D-cell alkaline batteries. It also has the ability to be powered from an external supply voltage.
