Step 2: Verify Bridge location and connection

Verify the Bridge, designated to support the clock or repeater install area, has established a network connection to OneVue and an NTP Server. If a Bridge is set to no network mode due to a network is not available, this step is not required.

Step 3: Verify mounting location meets guidelines

Where the repeater is mounted impacts its use and operation. The guidelines below should be taken into consideration to ensure the installation location provides optimal performance.

If a Site Survey was completed, install devices at each designated location. Start by installing devices that are located closest to the Bridge and then work outward. A device should always be first powered on at its designated install location.

  • 100 ft. (30 m) when in clear-line-of sight to another Sync Bluetooth device

  • 50 ft. (15.2 m) when there is 1 internal wall between Sync Bluetooth devices

  • 30 ft. (9.1 m) when there are 2 internal walls between Sync Bluetooth devices

Step 4: Mount repeater to wall or ceiling

The repeater's mounting base has four key-shaped screw holes and two standard screw holes for a wall or ceiling mount.

  1. Separate the unit from its mounting base: From the side of the unit, insert the top of a standard screwdriver into an insert opening and gently push up to remove the cover.

  2. Remove the pull-off tab (12-character Device ID) and affix to a floorplan to identify its installation location.

  3. Use the mounting base to mark the hole locations on the ceiling or wall.

  4. Drill holes where marked and tap plastic screw anchors provided into the drilled holes.

  5. For mounting with the key-shaped screw holes, drive the supplied screws partially into the ceiling or wall and line up the mounting base. Place and twist the mounting base into position under the screws, tighten screws to secure base to the mounting surface.

  6. For mounting with the two standard screw holes, align base to holes and drive the supplied screws into the ceiling or wall, tighten screws to secure base to the mounting surface.

  7. Insert 2 D-cell batteries into the battery compartment.

  8. Insert its cover onto the mounting base.

  9. Apply AC power (optional accessory). AC power adapter 5V DC USB Mini B (5 pin) connector interface, 5ft (1.5 m) cable, Input: 100-240 VAC, 50/60 Hz, 0.4A, Output: 5V, 1.0A max

  10. Located on its cover, press and release the Status button. The LED blink sequence indicates its current status.

    • One blink: device is powered on.

    • Two blinks: successful connection to a Sync Bluetooth mesh network; received UTC time.

    • Four blinks: low battery level status; battery replacement required.

  11. Once the device has been added to OneVue, update its Name from its 12-character Device to its named install location.
