Read the complete manual before attempting installation and activating the system.
1. DESCRIPTION
This RF repeater is part of the Easywave RF system (Radio Frequency), an installation technique that does not
require any wiring between the control points (push buttons) and the consumers to be operated. The RF repeater
can be used for installations that have an insufficient transmitter range.
These products are in conformity with EU regulations and comply with the essential requirements of the R&TTE
directive 1999/5/EC. The certificate of conformity can be obtained from the Niko support service.
2. OPERATION AND USE
2.1. Range between Easywave transmitters and receivers
The range indoors depends upon the materials used in the building. In open fields, ranges of up to 100m can be
reached. You can use the diagnostic unit 05-370 to determine the RF signal strength in a given environment.

2.2. Installation instructions and recommendations
NEVER install the receivers and/or transmitters:
- in a metal distribution box, housing or netting;
- in the immediate vicinity of large metal objects;
- on or near the floor.
You can provide the receivers for DIN-rail mounting with an additional antenna. Install the receivers in the
immediate vicinity of the transmitters. The presence of metal or moisture in the walls can negatively affect the
transmitter range.
2.3. Operaton and use
Use the RF repeater in places where the range is insufficient. The RF repeater sends a received telegram with
a delay of 300ms. When receiving a telegram, the LED on the repeater briefly blinks. When sending a telegram,
the LED blinks once long.
The RF repeater has 2 operating modes:
Broadcast mode:
For as long as no transmitter is programmed on the RF repeater, it unconditionally sends every received signal.
Defined mode:
You can program a number of transmitters whose telegrams are sent with a delay of 300ms (max. 16 control
points) (see '3.2. Programming').
Note: You only have to program one push button per control point (see '2.4. Definition control point' or consult
your RF transmitter's user manual).
2.4. Definition control point
An RF control point can exist of 1, 2, 3 or 4 buttons of one and the same transmitter that are interconnected and
to which, depending on the type of receiver and the selected mode, commands can be connected.
RF wall mounted transmitters with 8 buttons are considered 2 control points with 4 buttons in 1 cover.
The RF hand-held transmitters with more than 4 buttons or with channel selection are considered groups of
different, independent control points as indicated in the table below or in the transmitter's user manual.

number of control points
type
05-310 1 control point per channel (4 control points in all)
05-312 5 control points per channel (20 control points in all)
05-313 1 control point per channel (5 control points in all)
3. PROGRAMMING
3.1. Taking into use
After installing the transmitters and receivers, the transmitters have to be programmed with the receivers. A
receiver only functions if the address of a transmitter has been programmed in the receiver (see user manual
receiver). Test the transmitter before mounting!
3.2. Programming
If no RF command has been programmed in the memory of the repeater, the repeater operates in broadcast
mode. Every received RF signal is unconditionally repeated. From the moment one or more control points have
been programmed in the repeater, the repeater operates in defined mode. Only the programmed control points
are repeated.
- Briefly (< 1,6s.) press the countersunk programming key (Prog.).
- The LED blinks.
- Control the control points whose telegram has to be sent by the repeater one by one. Press the desired push
button of the transmitter. The LED on the repeater lights long (4s.) in confirmation. One push button per control
point suffices (see '2.3. Operaton and use').
- Max. 16 control points can be programmed per repeater. If you try to program more than 16 control points,
the last control point is constantly overwritten.
- Briefly (< 1,6s.) press the countersunk key to exit programming.
- Programming is not lost in the event of a prolonged power failure.
3.3. Adding transmitters
You can always program additional control points (max. 16) on a repeater. Therefore, repeat '3.2. Programming').
3.4. Reset
- Press the countersunk key on the repeater long (> 1,6s) (LED blinks quickly).
- Press again for longer than 1,6s.
- The receiver's memory is now completely erased. The LED lights long (4s.) in confirmation.
- Briefly (< 1,6s.) press the countersunk key to exit programming.
- The RF repeater now again operates in broadcast mode and sends every received telegram with a delay of
300ms.

3.5. Erasing selectively
- Press the countersunk key on the repeater long (> 1,6s).
- The LED blinks quickly.
- Press the control key of the transmitter you wish to erase.
- This transmitter is erased from the memory. The LED lights for 4s. in confirmation.
- Briefly (< 1,6s.) press the countersunk key to exit programming.
4. TROUBLESHOOTING
4.1. The receiver does not respond to the repeater signal
- Bring the transmitter in the immediate vicinity of the receiver and check whether the commands have been
carried out correctly.
- If this is not the case: check the operation of transmitter and receiver.
- Also check the programming, using the descriptions you find in the respective user manuals.
- Bring the transmitter in the immediate vicinity of the repeater and check whether the repeater receives (briefly
blinks) and sends the RF signal (blinks once long).
- If this is not the case: check the programming of transmitter(s) on the repeater (in defined mode).
- Check whether the max. of 16 programmed control points is not exceeded (in defined mode).
- Reset the repeater (see '3.4. Reset') if the repeater has to send all RF commands unconditionally (broadcast
mode).
4.2. You cannot dim up or down
- The RF repeater cannot send 'long' RF commands and does therefore not support dim or push button
functions.
- Solution: in order to cover larger distances, the operation has to be limited to on/off commands and retrieving
preset dim settings. You can only dim up or down by means of the transmitters that are within the immediate
range of the receiver.
4.3. The system automatically switches on or off after operation.
- The receiver both receives the direct RF signal from the transmitter as the one from the repeater. In case of
using 1-button on/off functions, the first signal is regarded as 'ON', the next one as 'OFF'.
- Possible solution: using a 2-button mode (on/off).
4.4. In a Nikobus installation with shutter module, the shutter automatically stops after starting.
- The receiver both receives the direct RF signal from the transmitter as the one from the repeater. In case of
using 2-button shutter functions, the first signal is regarded as 'start (up or down)', the next one as 'stop'.
- Possible solution: using a 4-button mode (shutter).

The antenna can be live. The antenna's insulation should therefore not be damaged or cut!
The supply voltage is 12-24V DC or 230V~.
