So...there's a new club starting up in SoCal and I've been asked to help them set up their strips. They already have the gear, which includes Favero Arm-05 boxes and repeaters. I've never set up a repeater. I get that connecting the main box to the repeater is simple...Favero provides a 30 m phone cable and you just plug the ends in. But what about power for the repeater?
The repeater is active, and has it's own power source. The master sends only data on the phone line, it does not switch power on and off to control a light directly.
If the repeaters come with their own power source I suppose I don't have anything to worry about. I didn't think to check the gear out when I was there today. (and before you ask, no, I can't give any info on the club until it opens).
An update...I was finally able to see the gear they bought. They did NOT buy actual repeaters....they bought Arm-01s to serve in that role. That's good, because since they bought the table model, it has the power connections I need. On the other hand, CAN an Arm-01 be used as a repeater for an Arm-05? My manual doesn't say. I'll be emailing Favero on this, but any other ideas wold be appreciated.
