The SPR Split-Phase Repeater is a small electronic device that is designed to enhance the communication reliability between devices that use the Universal Power Line Bus (UPB) method of communication (such as PulseWorx devices). It is designed to be used in a typical residential 120/240VAC split-phase electrical environment. The SPR comes in both plug-in and wire-in models. The main purpose of the SPR is to increase power line communication reliability by taking UPB messages transmitted on one phase (leg) of the electrical system and strongly repeating them on to the other phase (leg).
Wire-in and Plug-in Models
The SPR comes in both plug-in and wire-in models. The SPR-1 is designed to install in a suitable junction box and wire to two phases (circuits) and neutral of the circuit breaker panel. The SPR-3 is designed to plug into any 3-socket 240V electrical outlet. The SPR-4 is designed to plug into any 4-socket 240V electrical outlet.
