SiXRPTRA

Wireless Repeater

Installation and Setup Guide

The SiXRPTRA is an RF receiver and a

transmitter and is intended to extend the

indoor range of SiX series devices. The

SiXRPTRA receives alarm, status, and

control messages from SiX series devices,

and forwards these messages to control

panel. The control then responds

accordingly (arm/disarm the system, initiate

an alarm, etc.).

FEATURES

•

Transmits its own status, including

wall and case tamper, AC loss, low

battery and RF Jam.

•

Indicates RF Jam, AC/Battery Status,

and RSSI (Received Signal Strength

Indicator) using LED’s.

•

RSSI indicates the signal condition

between the repeater and the

controller.

•

Provides a 24-hour backup

rechargeable battery.

•ETL listed to meet UL standards.

GENERAL GUIDELINES

•The SiXRPTRA module uses a 5VDC power supply to charge the battery.

•If the battery voltage drops to 3.6VDC a low battery occurs.

NOTE: It is incapable of charging the battery if the voltage is lower than 2.6VDC (it must be replaced.)

•Conduct the SiX Auto System Check (see controller’s instructions) to verify adequate signal strength, relocate if necessary.

•SiXRPTRA is designed to operate 200 feet through three walls of wood, aluminum and dry wall construction.

When a single repeater installation is required.

•Range of the controller and sensor is more than 200 ft. line of sight.

•Signal Strength of sensors at using the programming app is worse than -75dBm for one or more sensors.

•Walk Test Failure of any Sensor/Keypad.

•If installation requires more than two floor communication.

•If more obstacles are interfering (more than three walls, high density metal doors, wood doors, multiple concrete walls, etc.) with

communication between sensor and controller.

•No response from signal strength query from programming app or controller.

When a second repeater installation is required.

Same as Single Repeater installation except:

•Range of the panel and sensor is more than 500 ft line of site, then install the controller in the middle with repeaters on either

direction of the panel.

•If Installation requires more than 3 floor Communication. Install Controller on the middle Floor; then install Repeater based on the

steady Amber RSSI (Signal Strength) LED indication as described in LED table below.

NOTE: Maximum number of the repeater allowed in a system is two. The path of transmission is as follows: transmitter repeater

controller. NOT transmitter repeater repeater receiver.

COMPATIBILITY (REPEATER READY SYSTEM)

•All sensors (including keyfobs) connected to the controller should have revision Firmware Release #4 or greater. Sensors that are

“Repeater Ready” will have a sticker that says, “Firmware Release #4.”

•The controller should have a sticker that says, “Firmware Release #4.”

NOTES:

•If controller’s firmware is less than that described above, then the controller will have to be upgraded. Either by firmware update or

full controller replacement.

•If the revision of the sensors is less than 4 (i.e. pre-existing sensors), then the controller must be upgraded to update the firmware

in the sensors.

MOUNTING

NOTE: for best results mount the SiXRPTRA as high as possible, keeping it away from metal objects.

1. Select a mounting position for the module.

IMPORTANT!

•DO NOT mount on or inside a metal

enclosure/object.

•DO NOT install near to WI-FI Routers, Microwave

Oven and other interfering devices. Maintain at least

10 feet distance.

2. Attach to the wall using the supplied screws.

3. Install the center screw to secure the back tamper to the wall.

4. Ensure the wiring is complete. Use cable ties or staples as

necessary to secure wiring.

5. Plug the power supply into an un-switched outlet and secure

with screw.

6. Attach the backup battery wires.

AC POWER

The repeater is powered by a 5VDC, 1 Amp Plug-in Power

Supply (Part #: 300-10342). Refer to the wiring table below for

wire gauge and length:

Wire Gauge

Wire Length

#22

Up to 20 feet (6m)

#20

Up to 33 feet (10m)

#18

Up to 50 feet (15m)

Use only the 300-10259 Power Supply. Plug the

battery prior to providing power from AC Outlet.

NOTE: For Indoor Use Only.

ENROLLING

You must enroll the device in the controller. SiXRPTRA will attempt to auto enroll upon power up, if it times out you can press and

release the tamper to reinitiate the enrollment process or remove and reconnect AC power.

1. Set the Controller in Programming Mode and when prompted:

2. Power up the SiXRPTRA and refer to the LED Status Table.

NOTES:

•Once enrolled in a system, the SiXRPTRA cannot be used with another controller until it is removed from the current controller.

See the Controller’s instructions for details.

•Enrollment time varies depending on the signal strength between the device and the controller. When done, Power LED is ON for 3

seconds and the controller beeps to confirm enrollment.

•The SiXRPTRA should be installed before any other sensors.

NOTE: Must be installed in accordance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70

3. RED LED should be slow blinking (ON for 0.5 seconds; OFF for 3 seconds)

4. With the cover installed, the RSSI and RF Jamming LED’s will be off after 15 seconds.

INSTALLING A NEW SiXRPTRA WITH AN EXISTING CONTROLLER AND SENSORS

1. Using the “Compatibility Section” above confirm the controller and sensors are at the correct revision level to support the SiXRPTRA.

2. Enroll the SiXRPTRA by keeping near the controller until all three LED’s are solid Green. The SiXRPTRA should be enrolled as a peripheral from

MobileTech.

3. Walk the SiXRPTRA away from the controller in the direction in which the sensor(s) are not communicating with the controller. NOTE: Perform

this step without the front cover installed to monitor the RSSI.

4. The SiXRPTRA verifies the signal strength between the controller and SiXRPTRA. The RSSI LED will change from Red to Amber (Green means

you are within range) at least 30 seconds. Amber LED tells you this is the furthest from the controller you can mount the SiXRPTRA.

5. Perform “SiX Auto System Check” from MobileTech so the controller requests signal strength from all sensors. Once a sensor has joined the

SiXRPTRA the signal strength should be greater than -75dBm. When a sensor is associated with a repeater, the displayed signal strength

represents the connection quality between the sensor and the SiXRPTRA.

6. MobileTech or the Controller can tell you which the sensor is connected. On the controller go to zones to determine which it is connected to.

Example: P800 represents the controller and R820 to R821 zones represents the SiXRPTRA. If sensors are not connected to the SiXRPTRA and

connected to the controller and the signal strength is less than -75dBm, then the sensor has not connected to the repeater or it is still too far away

from the controller/SiXRPTRA. If sensor signal strength is too weak then the controller can send a “SiX Network Resync” only to those sensors

using MobileTech. This creates the best path between sensor and repeater.

7. Perform a Sensor Walk Test to verify sensors are communicating through the SiXRPTRA or directly to the controller.NOTE: Make sure all

doors/windows are closed before entering Walk Test.

INSTALLING A NEW SiXRPTRA WITH A NEW CONTROLLER AND SENSORS INSTALLATION

1. Using the “Compatibility Section” above confirm the controller and sensors are at the correct revision level to support the SiXRPTRA.

2. Enroll the SiXRPTRA by keeping near the controller until all three LED’s are solid Green. The SiXRPTRA should be enrolled as a peripheral from

MobileTech.

3. Walk the SiXRPTRA away from the controller in the direction in which the sensor(s) are not communicating with the controller. NOTE: Perform

this step without the front cover installed to monitor the RSSI.

4. The SiXRPTRA verifies the signal strength between the controller and SiXRPTRA every five seconds. The RSSI LED will change from Red to

Amber (Green means you are within range) after 30 seconds. Amber LED tells you this is the furthest from the controller you can mount the

SiXRPTRA.

5. Move the sensors to their predetermined mounting location.

6. Successfully enroll all sensors.

7. Perform “SiX Auto System Check” from MobileTech so the controller requests signal strength from all sensors. Once a sensor has joined the

SiXRPTRA the signal strength should be greater than -75dBm. When a sensor is associated with a repeater, the displayed signal strength

represents the connection quality between the sensor and the SiXRPTRA.

8. MobileTech or the Controller can tell you which the sensor is connected. On the controller go to zones to determine which it is connected to.

Example: P800 represents the controller and R820 to R821 zones represents the SiXRPTRA. If sensors are not connected to the SiXRPTRA and

connected to the controller and the signal strength is less than -75dBm, then the sensor has not connected to the repeater or it is still too far away

from the controller/SiXRPTRA. If sensor signal strength is too weak then the controller can send a “Sync Network Resync” only to those sensors

using MobileTech. This creates the best path between sensor and repeater.

9. Perform a Sensor Walk Test to verify sensors are communicating through the SiXRPTRA or directly to the controller. NOTE: Make sure all

doors/windows are closed before entering Walk Test.

24-HOUR ENROLLMENT DELETION AND DEFAULT

If the device is enrolled in a controller different than the intended controller, and you are unable to delete it from the unintended

controller, default the device to factory default setting:

1. Open the cover and verify device is powered on.

2. Press the tamper for ½ second, release for ½ second and repeat four more times. (for a total of five).

3. All three LED’s rapidly flash and the SiXRPTRA defaults, leaving only the Power LED on.

This procedure is available for 24 hours after enrollment with a panel and the device remains powered (battery installed).

NOTE: if all LED’s light solid red for 5-seconds, then you are passed the 24-hour window.

TAMPER/LOW BATTERY REPORTING

The SiXRPTRA reports this condition to the Controller. If a low battery or tamper condition exists, a peripheral trouble shows a trouble

on the Controller.

NOTE: If an actual low battery condition is reported, it takes up to 12 hours after AC power is restored for the low battery restore

message to be sent (requires 12 hours for fully recharged battery).

IMPORTANT!

The first battery test occurs one hour after power up. To quickly verify a good backup battery, unplug and then plug back in the

power supply; the system will perform a battery test within one minute. Also, the controller does not annunciate low battery trouble for

the first 24 hours to all the battery to charge.

SUPERVISION

The SiXRPTRA reports AC loss and RF jam conditions, which displays a trouble on the Controller’s keypad(s). This prevents either

condition from causing an alarm when the Controller is armed.
