The Range Extender lets you extend the range of 
your home security system to accommodate 
longer distances and broaden your security 

coverage. As a result, select a location that has 
average signal strength and resides between the 

TouchScreen and the furthest sensor, such as a 

gameroom or bedroom, to boost the wireless 
signal strength for sensors located furthest from 
the TouchScreen. 
The number, thickness, and location of walls, 
ceilings and other objects that the signals must 

pass through may limit the range of the Range 
Extender. Typical ranges vary, depending on the 
types of materials and background radio 
frequency (RF) noises in your home or business. 
 

 

To maximize your range: 

¾ 

Keep the number of walls and ceilings 
between the TouchScreen and the Range 
Extender to a minimum. 

¾ 

Position a direct line between the key pad 
and the Range Extender, so the signal will 
travel straight through a wall or ceiling.  

¾ 

Consider angles when placing the Range 
Extender, For example, a wall that is 1.5 

feet thick (.5 meters) at a 45°angle appears 

to be almost 3 feet (1 meter) thick; however, 
at a 2°angle, it looks over 42 feet (14 
meters) thick. 

¾ 

Position the Range Extender to receive the 

wireless signal through drywall or open 
doorways and not other materials. Building 
materials such as a solid metal door or metal 
studs can impede the wireless signal and may 
have a negative effect on the wireless range. 
When it is necessary to work with these 
limitations, more SMC Wireless Siren Zigbee 
Range Extenders can be used to improve 
signal strength for the whole premise. 

¾ 

Keep the Range Extender at least 3-to-6 feet 
(1-to-2 meters) away from electrical devices 
or appliances that generate extreme RF 
noise. 

¾ 

Keep the Range Extender at least 3-to-6 feet 
(1-to-2 meters) away from devices that emit 

their own radio signals, such as wireless 
routers and access points. 

Other locations where the Range Extender can 
be placed include: 

•  Centrally Located Areas 
•  Family Rooms 
•  Living Rooms 
•  Game Rooms 
•  Bedrooms of children that are hard to 

wake in the event of fire 

Use a Phillips #1 (PH1) screwdriver to remove 
the screw securing the battery cover and 
remove the cover and set the cover and 
screw aside. The device battery is inside.
