Power Supply

Signal repeaters run on AC power supply.

A green LED on the signal repeater indicates that it is doing so

If a Signal Repeater Loses AC Power Supply

Signal repeaters contain a rechargeable standby battery.

If a signal repeater loses AC power supply, for example, if the power cable is disconnected or there is a power outage:

• It will automatically switch to its standby battery

• The LED on the signal repeater will turn amber

• Relevant contacts will receive an AC power failure alarm (see Signal Repeater Troubleshooting for instructions on how to resolve the alarm)

If the Signal Repeater Standby Battery Is Low

The battery lasts for 7-20 hours.

If the battery is:

• Low, relevant contacts will receive a standby battery low alert (see Signal Repeater Troubleshooting for instructions on how to resolve the alarm)

• Critically low, relevant contacts will receive a standby battery low alarm (see Signal Repeater Troubleshooting for instructions on how to resolve the alarm)

If the Signal Repeater Standby Battery Runs Out

If the signal repeater is not reconnected to the AC power supply and the backup battery runs out, the device will power off.

If the issue persists, relevant contacts will receive a signal repeater offline alarm (see Signal Repeater Troubleshooting for instructions on how to resolve the alarm).

While the signal repeater is powered off, sensors that were previously routing through it will attempt to connect directly to the WARP or another signal repeater within range. If they cannot, they will continue to record data and temporarily store them in their internal memory until the signal repeater is powered on again.

Sensors can store data for up to 7 days if a signal repeater is powered off. After this point, data will be overwritten.

We strongly recommend that you respond to alarms as soon as possible to avoid potential data loss.

When the Signal Repeater is Powered On Again

When the signal repeater is powered on again, any backlog of data will be sent to the WARP and cloud automatically within 48 hours.

Please contact us if you need the data urgently.

If this backlog of data contains out-of-range readings, for example, indicating that a sensor exceeded its high temperature threshold, the WARP will not trigger an alarm/alert.

The WARP only triggers alarms/alerts from live data to ensure that alarms accurately reflect a sensor’s most recent status.
