Power Supply

Repeaters are powered by mains power supply.

Backup Battery

Repeaters contain a rechargeable backup battery.

If a Repeater is disconnected from the mains power supply, for example, accidentally or during a power outage, it will automatically switch to its backup battery. The Repeater battery lasts approximately 1 hour, depending on the amount of data being sent.

If the battery runs out, the Repeater will power off. Data will be stored on sensors until the Repeater is powered on again. If the Repeater is powered off for over 1 hour, Administrators and Safety Managers (see User Roles for details) will be notified via a service alert so they can take appropriate action. The Alert LED on the Hub will also flash blue. See Repeater Troubleshooting for instructions on how to resolve the issue.

If you would like to be notified earlier, you can reduce this delay. See Edit Offline Alert Period for details.
