Operation
Once installed and enrolled, the Alula RE620 Sensor Repeater automatically extends the wireless communication range for all Connect+ compatible sensors within its operational area. It receives signals from distant sensors and re-transmits them to the Connect+ panel, ensuring reliable communication. The integrated rechargeable battery provides backup power during outages, maintaining system integrity.
The indicator lights on the device provide status information (e.g., power, signal transmission, battery status). Consult the full product documentation for a detailed explanation of indicator light patterns.

Battery Care:
- The rechargeable battery is designed for long-term use. No regular user intervention is typically required for charging.
- If the Connect+ panel indicates a low battery for the repeater, ensure the repeater is receiving consistent power from its primary source.
- Replace the battery only with an Alula-approved replacement battery if necessary.
Cleaning:
- Wipe the device with a soft, dry cloth.
- Do not use liquid cleaners or abrasive materials.
