Rako WRB100 Signal Repeater

The WRB100 is a versatile signal repeater designed to enhance the performance of Rako lighting control systems. It operates in two distinct modes: wireless and wired spine.

Wireless Mode

In wireless mode, the WRB100 extends the range of Rako's wireless commands by receiving and retransmitting signals. This ensures reliable communication between transmitters and receivers across larger spaces. This functionality is particularly beneficial in expansive properties or areas with obstacles that may impede signal transmission.

Wired Spine Mode

In wired spine mode, the WRB100 units connect via CAT5 or CAT6 cabling, creating a backbone that links different sections of a property. This setup is ideal for environments where wireless signals alone may not suffice, providing a robust and dependable means of communication across the system.

Compact Design for Easy Installation

A notable feature of the WRB100 is its compact design, allowing it to be installed within the ceiling and accessed through a standard downlight hole. This form factor simplifies installation and maintenance, making it a practical choice for integrators and installers.

Related Products

For installations requiring a power supply, the RAPSU is a suitable accessory. The RAPSU is a mains power supply unit designed for battery-less wireless wall controllers and interface units, ensuring consistent power delivery to devices like the WRB100. This accessory is essential when the WRB100 is used in wired spine mode, as it requires an external power source.

Another related product is the RAMVR, a wireless interface module that integrates third-party presence sensors into a Rako wireless system. The RAMVR is mains powered and allows direct connection to sensors that switch mains power. This module is particularly useful for incorporating external presence sensors or those using detection methods like break-beam or microwave technologies.

Conclusion

The WRB100 enhances the flexibility and range of Rako lighting control systems through its dual-mode operation and compact design. When combined with accessories like the RAPSU and RAMVR, it offers a comprehensive solution for complex lighting control requirements, ensuring seamless integration and reliable performance across various installation scenarios.
