INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS
Product Summary
The purpose of the Quik Bridge Learn Mode Repeater
is to receive and retransmit signals from Learn Mode
sensors, wireless touchpads, and other repeaters. The
repeater is ideal for the following applications:
nInstallations where sensors are beyond panel
reception or fail sensor test.
nAs a substitute for preamps in installations where
panel antennas are shielded by metal.
The repeater may be used in one of the following
modes:
Intelligent mode: In this mode, the repeater retrans-
mits signals received from sensors, wireless touch-
pads, and intelligent mode repeaters that have been
“learned” into the repeater memory. An intelligent
mode repeater may “learn” a maximum of 16 sensors/
touchpads and 2 intelligent mode repeaters.
Sensor mode: In this mode, the repeater will retrans-
mit all signals received from sensors and wireless
touchpads but will not retransmit signals received
from other repeaters.
Repeater Features
Repeater features include the following:
nTransmittal of hourly supervisory reports to the
panel.
nA tamper switch that causes an alarm transmis-
sion if the repeater cover is removed.
nSupport for a rechargeable backup battery.
nA dual-antenna receiver, which improves recep-
tion through spatial diversity.
nTransmittal of a low battery trouble report when
the backup battery is low (optional).
nTransmittal of an AC power failure alarm when
AC power has failed for more than 15 minutes
(optional).
nLearn Mode technology, making installation
easy.

Overview of Repeater Operation
DIP Switches
There are 8 DIP switches (numbered 1–8 from left to
right) on the repeater circuit board that are used to do
the following:
nSet the repeater mode for sensor or intelligent
mode.
nConfigure the repeater for “learning” and delet-
ing sensors (intelligent mode only).
nEnable or disable low battery reporting.
nEnable or disable AC power failure reporting.
A DIP switch is “ON” when flipped up towards the
antennas or “OFF” when flipped down. The repeater
will only “read” the DIP switches when the tamper
switch is activated or upon power-up.
Certain DIP switch settings are not valid. For exam-
ple, setting the DIP switches for “learning” or deleting
sensors while in sensor repeat mode will make the
DIP settings invalid. The LED blinks continuously
while DIP switch settings are not valid until the
repeater is powered down and powered up with a
valid setting.
LED Indications
The purpose of the LED is to indicate certain actions
of the repeater. Table 1 describes all possible LED
indications:
Table 1. LED Indications
LED Means this...
ON Repeater is powered up and
passed self-test.
Modes of Operation
The repeater may be used in one of two modes: intel-
ligent mode and sensor mode.
Intelligent Mode
The intelligent mode is the recommended mode of
operation. In this mode, the repeater only retransmits
signals received from sensors, touchpads, and intelli-
gent mode repeaters that are “learned” into memory.
A maximum of 16 sensors/touchpads and 2 intelligent
mode repeaters may be learned into an intelligent
mode repeater.
Intelligent mode repeaters provide special features for
“learning” and deleting transmitters.
The advantages to using repeaters in intelligent mode
include the following:
nThe range of the system can be increased by add-
ing additional intelligent mode repeaters. A max-
imum of 31 intelligent mode repeaters may be
cascaded within a system.
nIntelligent mode repeaters retransmit signals
from “learned” transmitters, which reduce RF
traffic.
Sensor Mode
In sensor mode the repeater retransmits signals
received from all sensors and touchpads but does not
retransmit signals from other repeaters. Avoid install-
ing more than one sensor mode repeater per system.
Sensor mode repeaters must be installed within panel
reception because their signals cannot be repeated.
OFF Repeater is not powered or failed
to power up.
Single Blink Repeater received a signal from a
Learn Mode transmitter, or an
intelligent mode repeater
“learned”/deleted a sensor or
touchpad.
Double blink Intelligent mode repeater “learns”/
deletes another intelligent mode
repeater.

The only advantage of using a repeater in sensor mode
rather than in intelligent mode is that sensors and
touchpads are not “learned,” which reduces installa-
tion time.
Testing the Transmitter and Receiver
Two tests must be performed during the installation to
insure that each transmitter (sensor, touchpad, or
repeater) is received by the intended receiver (control
panel or repeater).
Note: It takes two people to perform the following tests
because of the distances between devices.
Dealer Sensor Test
This test checks the communication link between the
control panel and the transmitters (sensors, touchpads,
and repeaters). The transmitters have to be “learned”
into the panel before this test is performed.
Transmitters do not have to pass this test if their sig-
nals are received and retransmitted by a repeater.
Refer to the particular panel installation manual for
the Dealer Sensor Test procedure.
Repeater Reception Test
This test checks the communication link between a
repeater and other transmitters. The repeater LED
blinks for each transmission (packet) received from a
sensor, touchpad, or repeater.
Note: One person must activate (trip) the transmitter
while another person counts the number of LED
blinks at the
receiving repeater.
For intelligent mode repeaters, the transmitters should
not be “learned” into the repeater before this test is
performed.
All transmitters that fail the Dealer Sensor Test must
pass this test for the receiving repeater.
To perform a repeater reception test:
1) Take the cover off of the receiving repeater.
2) For sensors with a tamper switch, remove the
cover from the sensor. This causes an alarm trans-
mission and the repeater should receive 7–8 pack-
ets (indicated by 7–8 LED flashes) in order to
pass this test.
or-- For sensors without a tamper switch, activate an
alarm. The repeater should receive 7–8 packets
(indicated by 7–8 LED flashes) in order to pass
this test.
or-- For panic buttons, hold down the button for 5 sec-
onds and release it. The repeater should receive
14–16 packets (indicated by 14–16 LED flashes)
in order to pass this test.
or-- For touchpads, hold down an emergency button
for 5 seconds and release it. The repeater should
receive 7–8 packets (indicated by 7–8 LED
flashes) in order to pass this test.
or-- For intelligent mode repeaters, hold down the
tamper switch for 5 seconds and release it. The
receiving repeater should receive 14–16 packets
(indicated by 14–16 LED flashes) in order to pass
this test.

Installing Repeaters
Determine Which Transmitters Need a
Repeater
The first step of the installation is to determine which
sensors and touchpads need their signals repeated.
To determine which sensors and touchpads need a
repeater:
1) “Learn” all of the system sensors and touchpads
into the control panel.
2) Mount the sensors and touchpads in the desired
locations.
3) Remove power from all repeaters.
4) Perform a Dealer Sensor Test on all of the system
sensors and touchpads.
If all of the system sensors and touchpads pass
this test, a repeater is not necessary with the sys-
tem. Sensors and touchpads that fail this test will
need their signals retransmitted by one or more
repeaters. Keep track of which transmitters are
distant because only the distant transmitters have
to be tested with the repeater receiver.
Connecting Antennas to the Repeater
To connect antennas to the repeater:
1) Remove the cover by pressing down on the top
center of the cover, and pull it away from the base
(see Figure 5).
2) Loosen the inside terminals of the left and right
antenna terminal blocks.
3) Insert an antenna into each inside terminal.
4) Tighten down the terminal screws (see Figure 1).
5) Set all of the DIP switches to the OFF position
for now.
Figure 1. Connecting Repeater Antennas
Connecting Power
The three methods for providing power to the repeater
are:
nA 9–16.5 VAC Class II Transformer with a mini-
mum 2 VA rating, when not using a backup bat-
tery (see Figure 2).
For example, 9 VAC Class II Transformer, 15 VA
UL (60-515) or 9 VAC Class II Transformer, 15
VA CSA (60-516).
Figure 2. Connecting Class II without Battery
nA 15–16.5 VAC Class II Transformer with a min-
imum 2 VA rating and a 12V lead acid battery
with a minimum 1.3 Ah rating for 24-hour
backup (see Figure 3).

.
Figure 4. Connecting 12 VDC Power Supply
To connect a transformer:
1) Run a 2-conductor, stranded, 12–22 gauge wire to
make the connections.
2) Connect the wires to repeater terminals 3 and 4
(see Figure 2 or 3).
3) Connect the other end to the two terminals on the
AC transformer.
4) Plug the transformer into a non-switched outlet.
5) Check the status of the green LED on the
repeater.
To connect the battery or DC power supply:
1) Run a 2-conductor, stranded, 12–22 gauge wire to
make the connections.
2) Connect the wires to repeater terminals 1 and 2
(see Figure 3 or 4).
3) Connect the other end to the battery or DC power
supply.
4) Check the status of the green LED on the
repeater.
Programming the Repeater into the
Panel
Before the panel can supervise the repeater, the
repeater must be programmed into panel memory.
To program the repeater into the panel:
1) Refer to the panel installation instructions for the
sensor programming procedure.
2) When the panel prompts you for a group number,
we recommend that you use group number 4.
Group number 4 supervises the repeater and
causes an instant alarm if the tamper is tripped.
3) Trip the repeater tamper when the procedure
prompts for the sensor activation.
Installing an Intelligent Mode Repeater
This section describes how to install a single intelli-
gent mode repeater. By performing the tests described
in this section, you can determine if additional repeat-
ers are necessary. Repeat the installation procedure for
each intelligent mode repeater you add to the system.
If you are installing a sensor mode repeater, skip to
“Installing a Sensor Mode Repeater.”
Setting the Repeater Number for Intelli-
gent Repeat Mode
1) Set DIP switches 4-8 to a unique, non-zero repeater
number (see Table 3).
Note: When “learning” repeaters into other repeaters,
the repeater number at the destination repeater
must be less than the repeater number of the
source repeater. For example, you can “learn”
repeater 2 into repeater 1, because 2 is greater
than 1. Refer to the installation example at the
end of this document (see Figure 8) and note that
intelligent mode repeaters “cascade” toward the
panel in descending order.
Note: If fewer than 16 intelligent mode repeaters are
needed for the system, plan to assign only even
numbers to the repeaters. This method allows for
an additional repeater to be retro-fitted between
two cascaded repeaters, if necessary.
2) Set DIP switches 1–3 to the OFF position (see
Table 2).

“Learning” an Intelligent Mode Repeater
into another Intelligent Mode Repeater
If this intelligent mode repeater transmits directly to
the panel, skip to “Choosing a Location for an Intelli-
gent Mode Repeater.”
If the signals from this repeater need to be repeated by
another (destination) repeater, then “learn” this
repeater into the destination repeater.
To “learn” a source intelligent mode repeater into
a destination intelligent mode repeater:
1) Set the DIP switches on the destination repeater
for “learn” transmitters (see Table 4).
2) Activate the tamper switch on the destination
repeater that is about to “learn” transmitters to
configure the repeater for “learning.”
3) Activate the tamper switch on the source
repeater.
4) After “learning” the repeater(s), set DIP switches
1–3 back to the OFF position.
5) Activate the tamper switch on the destination
repeater. This causes the repeater to stop “learn-
ing” transmitters.

Choosing a Location for an Intelligent
Mode Repeater
To select a mounting location for an intelligent
mode repeater, use the following guidelines.
nBefore permanently mounting, test the repeater
transmitter and receiver in several locations.
nSelect a location that has access to an AC outlet
or DC power supply.
nIf this repeater transmits directly to the panel,
locate it between the panel and distant transmit-
ters but within panel reception.
nIf this repeater is being repeated by other repeat-
ers, locate it between the destination repeater and
distant transmitters but within repeater reception.
Note: After a location has been selected, temporarily
mount the repeater using a piece of double-sided
tape or a single mounting screw (refer to “Mount-
ing the Repeater”). This allows you to test the
repeater transmitter and receiver at the location
before permanently mounting.
Testing an Intelligent Mode Repeater
Transmitter
After the repeater is temporarily mounted, perform the
appropriate test to determine if the signals transmitted
by the repeater are received by the intended receiver
(control panel or another intelligent mode repeater).
To test signals sent directly to the control panel:
nPerform a Dealer Sensor Test to determine
whether or not the signals are received by the
control panel.
If the repeater passes this test, skip to “Testing the
Intelligent Mode Repeater Receiver.”
If the repeater fails this test, it is located too far
from the control panel and must be relocated

To test signals sent to another intelligent mode
repeater:
nPerform a Repeater Reception Test to determine
whether or not these signals are received by the
destination repeater.
If the repeater passes this test, skip to “Testing the
Intelligent Mode Repeater Receiver.”
If the repeater fails this test, it is located too far
from the destination repeater and must be relo-
cated closer. Repeat until the repeater passesthis test.
Testing an Intelligent Mode Repeater
Receiver
To test an intelligent mode repeater receiver:
1) Test the repeater receiver by performing a
Repeater Reception Test on the distant sensors
and touchpads. This test indicates which sensors
and touchpads may be “learned” into this
repeater. Only sensors and touchpads that pass
this test should be “learned” into this repeater. If
any one of the distant sensors or touchpads fail
this test, do one of the following:
nRelocate the intelligent mode repeater and repeat
the procedure for testing the repeater transmitter
and receiver.
n“Learn” the sensors and touchpads that passed
this test and use additional intelligent mode
repeaters.
“Learning”TransmittersintoanIntelligent
Mode Repeater
Sensors and touchpads that passed the repeater recep-
tion test should be “learned” into the repeater.
To “learn” sensors and touchpads into an intelli-
gent mode repeater:
1) Set the DIP switches on the repeater to “learn”
transmitter (see Table 4).
2) Activate the tamper switch on the repeater that is
about to “learn” transmitters to configure the
repeater for “learning.”
3) Trip the transmitters that are to be “learned” into
the repeater in the same way you would with the
control panel.
4) After “learning” the transmitters, set DIP
switches 1–3 back to the OFF position.

Page 8
Quik Bridge Learn Mode Repeater
5) Activate the tamper switch on the repeater. This
causes the repeater to stop “learning” transmit-
ter.
Note: The repeater LED blinks once when it “learns” a
sensor or touchpad.
Deleting Transmitters from an Intelligent
Mode Repeater
To delete a sensor, touchpad, or intelligent mode
repeater from the memory of an intelligent mode
repeater:
1) Set the DIP switches on the repeater to delete
transmitter (see Table 5).
2) To configure the repeater for deleting, press and
release the tamper switch on the repeater which is
about to delete transmitters.
3) Trip the transmitters that are to be deleted from
the repeater in the same way they were tripped
for “learning.”
4) After deleting the transmitters, set DIP switches
1–3 back to the OFF position.
5) Press and release the tamper switch. This causes
the repeater to stop deleting transmitters.
6) Wait for LED to stop blinking. Remove power
from repeater for five seconds; then reactivate
power.
The repeater LED blinks once when it deletes a
sensor or touchpad. It blinks twice after deleting
a repeater.
To delete all of the sensors, touchpads, and intelli-
gent mode repeaters at once, do the following:
1) Set the DIP switches on the repeater to clear
memory (see Table 6).
2) Press and release the tamper switch. The LED
begins to blink.
3) Set DIP switches 1–3 to the OFF position after
the LED on the repeater starts blinking.
4) Press and release the tamper switch again.
5) Wait for LED to stop blinking. Remove power
from the repeater for five seconds; then reactivate
power.
Note: The repeater LED may continue to blink for up to
ten seconds after the procedure is completed.
Adding Additional Intelligent Mode
Repeaters
If there are remaining distant sensors that are not
within repeater reception, you must add additional
intelligent mode repeaters to the system. Repeat the
above installation procedure for each repeater.
Installing a Sensor Mode Repeater
This section describes how to install a single sensor
mode repeater. By performing the tests described in
this section, you can determine if additional repeaters
are necessary. Repeat this installation procedure for
each sensor repeater you add to the system.
Setting the Repeater Number for Sensor
Repeat Mode
To set the repeater number for sensor repeat
mode:
1) Set all of the DIP switches to the OFF position
(see Table 7).
2) Activate the tamper switch.

Choosing a Location for a Sensor Mode
Repeater
To select a mounting location for a sensor mode
repeater, use the following guidelines:
nBefore permanently mounting the repeater, test
the repeater transmitter and receiver in several
locations.
nSelect a location that has access to an AC outlet
or DC power supply.
nLocate the repeater between the control panel and
the distant sensors/touchpads that you want
repeated.
Testing a Sensor Mode Repeater
Transmitter
To test a sensor mode repeater transmitter:
nPerform a Dealer Sensor Test on the sensor mode
repeater. If it fails this test, the repeater is located
too far from the control panel and must be relo-
cated closer. Repeat until the repeater passes this
test.
Testing a Sensor Mode Repeater
Receiver
To test a sensor mode repeater receiver:
1) Perform a Repeater Reception Test on the distant
sensors and touchpads. If any one of the distant
sensors or touchpads fail this test, do one of the
following:
nRelocate the sensor mode repeater closer to the
distant sensors/touchpads and repeat testing pro-
cedure for the repeater transmitter and receiver.
nRepeat the installation using intelligent mode
repeaters.
Final Test
In order to ensure that sensors and transmitters have
been deleted, remove power for five seconds and reac-
tivate it. Then perform a sensor and transmitter test.
Enablingthe AC PowerFailureReporting
Option
When AC power failure is enabled, the repeater
reports an alarm transmission to the control panel after
the repeater has lost AC power for more than 15 min-
utes.
To enable AC power failure reporting:
nSet DIP switch 1 to the ON position.
Note: This option should only be enabled when
using a backup battery and a 15–16.5
VAC transformer.
Enabling the Low Battery Reporting
Option
When low battery reporting is enabled, the repeater
reports the status of its backup battery to the control
panel.
To enable low battery reporting:
nSet DIP switch 2 to the ON position.
Note: This option should only be enabled when using a
backup battery and a 15–16.5 VAC transformer.
Mounting the Repeater
CAUTION: You must be free of static electricity
before handling circuit boards. Dis-
charge yourself by touching a bare
metal surface, or wear a grounding
strap.
To disassemble and mount the repeater:
Remove the enclosure cover by pressing down on the
top center of the cover and pull the cover away from
