Application

An ILLUMRA customer had a boat house and dock a distance away from his home. He needed to control two floodlights down at the dock and a circuit of yard lights from switches at two locations: the boat house and his home.

Scenario

The distance down to the boat house just exceeds the range limit for ILLUMRA transmitters and receivers. The switches at the boat house effectively control ILLUMRA receivers wired behind the flood lights at the boat house. The wireless signals from switches inside the home do not reach ILLUMRA receivers down at the boat house. The yard lights line a path down to the boat house where they are connected in circuit with one floodlight and one ILLUMRA relay receiver.

Solution

The ILLUMRA relay receiver connected to the yard lights was removed from its location at the boathouse and the circuit was reconnected without the receiver inline. An ILLUMRA Relay Receiver + Repeater was connected to the yard light circuit midway between the home and the boathouse. The Relay Receiver + Repeater is programmed to respond to an ILLUMRA remote light switch in the home to control the electrical load connected to the device. The Relay Receiver + Repeater also acts as a repeater for all transmitting switches in the home. The unit receives signals and rebroadcasts them down to receivers at the boat house.
