Controls and displays
Basic function method
The repeater RP-1 serves to increase the transmission range and also to sup- ply one exception channel group with the transmission of a different exception channel group. The device features two control- and display units A and B. These are assigned to a different channel-group respectively, the transmission between the two units is internal.
How to use
Power ON / OFF
Connect the device with the USB power supply and cable, by using either one of the two USB sockets on the rear of the device. Use the ON/OFF switch to switch the device on. The LC displays will illuminate and the default volume setting „VOL 03“ is indicated respectively. Use the ON/OFF switch again to switch the device off.
Group selection
The two control units A and B must be set to different channel groups. Switch the device on and press and hold one of the MODE buttons for 3 seconds. The symbol »GRP« in the display above the pressed MODE button will blink. Select a group number of your choice between »00« and »39« by pressing the and -buttons. After the selection, wait for 3 seconds for the selected group number to be set. Please note: For both units, choose a group number with a large difference (e.g. A:00 / B:20), as this will enhance the performance. Press and hold the other MODE button for 3 seconds. The selection of the group number is as described above but choose a different channel number. Transmitters and receivers must be set to the same group number if they are to communicate with each other.
ID selection
For full two-way applications between units A and B, both units must be set as MASTER. Units are defined as MASTER by setting their ID to »00«. If further xepton TRX-1 transceivers are to be included within the according to group, each TRX-1 needs to have its ID set to any number but »00«, as there only can be one master unit within a channel group. To transmit voice from the microphone, the TALK button of additional TRX-1 units needs to be pressed for one second in order to enable the TALK function. When using the transmitters T-1 and/or TX-1, the unit of the repeater assigned to their channel group must not be set to MASTER. To set a unit as MASTER, continue as follows: On the powered-up device, press and hold the MODE button for 3 seconds. The symbol »GRP« on the display will blink. Press the MODE button again. The symbol »ID« will start to blink. By using the and -buttons, select the ID from 00 to 99. Setting the ID to 00« will define the unit as MASTER. After the selection, wait for 3 seconds to set the selected ID number.
Please note:
- Within a channel group, one device must be set as MASTER.
- Within a channel group, there must only be one device set as MASTER.
Volume up / down
The volume of the according unit can be adjusted through 9 levels. On the powered-up device, press the between 01 (low) and 09 (high) as desired.
Monitoring function On / Off
The monitoring function enables you to hear your own voice over the system. Proceed as follows if you wish to activate the monitoring function: On the powered-up device, press and hold the MODE button of the according to unit for 3 seconds. The symbol »GRP« in the display will blink. Press the MODE button two times. The »SO« symbol in the display will blink.

Application examples
Expanding transmission range, two-way communication
The repeater is located at the ends of the transmission ranges of both channel groups A and B. By unifying the communication traffic between both channel groups, the transmission range is expanded over both groups. Settings: A and B of the repeater are set as MASTER. The TRX-1 units are set to a different ID (not-MASTER).
Two-way communication between transmitter T-1 and two TRX-1 transceivers
The repeater is located between channel group A (transmitter T-1 and an unlimited amount of RX-1 receivers) and channel group B (Two TRX-1 transceivers and an unlimited amount of RX-1 receivers). Both channel groups can communicate with each other.
Settings:
- Channel group A: The transmitter T-1 is set as MASTER. Unit A of the repeater is set as not-MASTER (ID ≠ 00).
- Channel group B: Unit B of the repeater is set as MASTER. The transceivers TRX-1 are set to a different ID (not-MASTER).
One-sided communication between transmitter TX-1 and two TRX-1 transceivers
The repeater is located between channel group A (transmitter TX-1 and an unlimited amount of RX-1 receivers) and channel group B (Two TRX-1 transceivers and an unlimited amount of RX-1 receivers). Channel group A can only hear the transmission of the TX-1 transmitter. Channel group B hears the transmission of a channel group A and the transmission of channel group B.
Settings:
- Channel group A: The transmitter T-X1 is a MASTER unit by default. Unit A of the repeater is set as not-MASTER (ID ≠ 00).
- Channel group B: Unit B of the repeater is set as MASTER. The transceivers TRX-1 are set to a different ID (not-MASTER).
