RP0 Signal Booster

The RP0 extends mesh network coverage in challenging environments where wireless signals may not reach all fixtures reliably.

When to Use

  • Large spaces with distant fixtures
  • Areas with signal-blocking obstacles
  • Installations with weak mesh connectivity
  • Spaces with concrete or metal barriers

Adding the RP0

  1. Plug the RP0 into a USB port.
  2. Navigate to More → Device Info.
  3. Tap Select to Add.
  4. Select and add to your zone.

Critical: Zone Association

Important: The RP0 must be added to the zone being commissioned.

When moving to commission a different zone: 1. Delete the RP0 from the current zone 2. Add it to the next zone

The RP0 extends coverage only for the zone it's associated with.

Placement

Position the RP0 strategically between: - The main mesh network (well-connected fixtures) - Distant or poorly-connected fixtures
