Tamper switch
Tamper switch consists of two buttons (front and back of the
device) connected in series. If any of them is released the
tamper message is sent. To remove the tamper condition both
buttons need to be pressed in.
Power options
The repeater must be connected to the electrical system of the
premises. Have a qualified person to connect 100–230 VAC
(50–60 Hz) power cable to the power input connector.
An all-pole mains switch should be incorporated in the
electrical installation of the building.
A 3.6 V 3200 mAh lithium ion backup battery is included.
Connect the battery to the circuit with the + pole located as
shown in Figure above.
To fully charge the battery the device must be connected to the
main power source for 48 hours.
If the device is planned to be without main power source for
more than 72 hours (e. g. during transport or before
installation), the battery should be disconnected.
WARNING: Lithium-ion battery!
Risk of burned skin, blindness, or death.
Risk of explosion or disabled safeguard if the battery
is replaced by an incorrect type or subjected to
extremely low air pressure.
Disposal of the battery into fire, hot oven or leaving it in an
extremely high temperature surrounding environment, or
mechanically crushing or cutting of the battery, can result in
an explosion.

Sensitivity reduction
To minimize possible effects of passive environment changes
after installation, the sensitivity of the receiver is automatically
reduced by minimum 8 dB when the repeater is in service
mode (walk test or sensor learn-in mode).
Walk test mode
The repeater supports a “walk test” special operation mode,
which allows you to verify the proper operation of the repeater
and learned sensors.

To enable the walk test mode, set DIP switch 1 to On. The
walk test mode is indicated on LEDs by intermittent switching
of four upper and four lower LEDs.
Once the walk test mode is enabled on the repeater, perform
the standard walk test procedure on sensors as specified in
documentation of relevant intrusion panel.
Additionally, the repeater may be tested by pressing and
holding the tamper button for at least 2 seconds.
Note: This functionality is supported on XGen/XGenConnect
panels only.
The walk test mode can be disabled by setting the DIP
switch 1 to Off.
Note: Walk test mode switches off automatically after
10 minutes if the repeater cover is closed (tamper switch is not
activated). In such a case, in order to trigger the walk test
mode again, you should set DIP switch 1 to Off, and then back
to On.
Sensor learning
An installation may include up to 16 repeaters.
The total number of all devices, sensors and repeaters, may
not exceed the maximum number of wireless sensors
supported by the intrusion panel.
For example, if the panel supports up to 64 wireless sensors,
and the setup requires 5 repeaters, then the system may
support up to 64−5 = 59 sensors.
Repeaters can form different networks, for example:
•Chain –a network of repeaters with sensors
•Star –a network of repeaters with sensors
•A mixed network of repeaters with sensors
General rules for device learning
•All sensors and all repeaters must be learned into the
panel. See sections 1 and 2 below for learning
procedures.
•Sensor X should be learned into repeater Y only if the
sensor X data is received directly by repeater Y. For
example, in the mixed network in figure above:
- Sensor ID 9 should be learned into repeater ID 2 (direct
connection).
- Sensors IDs 10, 11, and 12 should NOT be learned into
repeater ID 2 (indirect connections).
See “Learning sensors in repeaters” on page 4 for learning
procedure.

•Repeater X should be learned into the repeater Y only if
repeater Y is retransmitting signals from repeater X, and
connection between them is direct.
For example, in the mixed network in figure above:
- Repeaters ID 3 and ID 4 should be learned into repeater
ID 2.
- Repeater ID 1 should NOT be learned into repeater ID 2
(no retransmition occurs between these two devices).
See “Learning repeaters in repeaters” below for learning
procedure.
Learning sensors in the panel
1. Start the Learn-in procedure on the panel.
2. Perform the learn-in procedure for each sensor that must
be added to the installation. For details, refer to the sensor
manual.
3. Confirm each sensor in the panel.
Learning repeaters in the panel
1. Start the Learn-in procedure in the panel.
2. For safety reasons, disconnect AC from the repeater.
3. Activate tamper (if operating in 63bit mode),
—or —
press the diagnostic button for at least 3 seconds (if
operating in 80+ LoNa mode).
Do it for each repeater in the system.
4. Confirm each repeater in the panel.
Learning sensors in repeaters
1. On the first repeater, change the DIP Switch 8 state to On
(configuration switch) to enable learning of sensors into
the repeater.
2. Perform a learn-in procedure on each sensor that must be
added to the first repeater’s database.
3. Disable the learn-in mode on the first repeater –change
DIP switch 8 back to Off.
4. Put the next repeater in the learn-in mode.
5. Perform a learn-in procedure on each sensor that must be
added to the next repeater’s database.
6. Disable the learn-in mode on the repeater.
7. Repeat steps 4 to 5 for other repeaters.
Learning repeaters in repeaters
If one repeater is supposed to retransmit signals from another
one (in a chain or mixed configuration) an additional learning
procedure for each such pair of repeaters needs to be
performed:
1. Put the repeater which should retransmit signals from
another repeater in the learn-in mode –DIP Switch 8 to
On.
2. Activate the tamper switch on the repeater to which you
want the signals to be retransmitted. The retransmitting
repeater should signalize the learn-in with LEDs D1 to D8.
3. Disable the learn-in mode on the retransmitting repeater.
Repeater configuration limits
Maximum number of repeaters in a repeater’s database: 4.
Maximum number of sensors in a repeater’s database: 64.
Note: The maximum number of sensors should not exceed the
maximum number of sensors supported by the panel. For more
information, see panel specifications.
Maximum number of repeaters in daisy chain: 4.
Maximum number of repeaters in one system: 16.
Removing a single sensor/repeater from the
repeater
1. On the repeater, set the DIP switch 7 to the ON position.
2. Perform a learn-in procedure on the sensor you want to
delete.
3. The LEDs on the repeater will start blinking in a
characteristic pattern - from D4 and D5 outwards.
4. When finished, set the DIP switch 7 to the Off position.
5. Now remove the sensor also from the panel/receiver
database using the panel’s menu.
Installation tips for the repeater
If during installation it is not possible to achieve an optimal
signal because of a high noise floor (when LEDs show:
minimum level –problem):
1. Perform an additional test, checking if Minimum Level /
Range Limit is achieved.
2. If there are any objects that are covering the repeater, try
to move them so the repeater has free space around it.
3. Try to move the repeater 10 to 20 cm along the wall to
lower any kind of RF noise.
4. Find another spot in the room where a power socket is
available.
If during installation it is not possible to achieve an optimal
signal because of the signal quality level of packets (when
LEDs show: minimum level / range limit):
1. Perform an additional test, checking the High Noise Level
(Diagnostic button option).
2. If there are any objects that are covering the repeater, try
to move them so the repeater has free space around it.
3. Try to move the repeater 10 to 20 cm around the wall to
lower any kind of RF noise.
4. Find another spot in the room where a power socket is
available.

P/N R466-5569-EN • REV B • DRAFT A03 5 / 7
See the figure below for additional information.
Deleting the repeater’s entire database
1. On the repeater, set the DIP switches 7 and 8 to the On
position. Diodes D1 to D8 will start to show a characteristic
pattern.
2. Wait at least 5 seconds. During this timeout the database
is not being deleted. There is the possibility to stop the
process by switching DIP switch 7 and/or 8 to Off.
3. After the timeout the LEDs on the repeater will show a
different pattern –from D4 and D5 outwards. The
database is being deleted.
4. Set the DIP switches 7 and 8 to the Off position.
5. Remove the sensors from the panel/receiver database
using the panel’s menu, if necessary.
LED indication and the Diagnostic button
Note: For the LED indication and the Diagnostic button to
work, DIP switches 7 and 8 must be both in the Off position.
When the repeater cover is opened, the diagnostic LEDs start
to show one of the following values.
Signal Quality Level
When any of the tamper buttons (there is a front tamper on the
top of the repeater, and a back tamper on the bottom) is
released, the LEDs D2 to D8 (from LED D2 upwards) start to
show the quality level of packets received from known sensors.
LED D1 flashes once every second.
