2.a Installation and Startup a Installation Notes
• These products are designed to be maintained by certified
technicians.
•Products are intended for indoor use, if installing them outdoors
they must be housed in a water resistant plastic enclosure.
•Repeater can be powered by 12-24VDC local or centralized power
supply, centralized power is recommended if installation requires
more than 48 of battery back-up.
•Repeater is shipped with two 3.6VDC custom lithium AA cell not
installed. Battery are for battery back-up use only.

3.b Repeater miPosition & Check-in Heartbeat
When the Pendant is moving the accelerometer will enable the
Pendant to look for new Repeater, once the Pendant comes into
range of a new Repeater it will signal via BTLE radio its ID and
RSSI.
The Pendant also sends a check-in message to the Repeater every
60 minutes for the purposes of supervision via the BTLE radio. The
Pendant must be registered and supervised, the Pendant should be
tested after registration to ensure operation. The Repeater will send
the Pendant an acknowledgment signal to confirm check-in
supervision has been received.

3.a Broadcast Alarm to Server via Gateway
To send an alarm: Press Pendant button for at least one second,
Repeater will receive Alarm signal and will broadcast this information
to Gateway. Server will aknowledge receipt and send back via
Repeter this the aknowledgement to Pendant.
•When activated, the pendant LED will be red to indicate
Alarm being sent
•The Pendant will receive an acknowledgment from Repeater and
will blink red Pendant LED for 2 msec. every 3 sec.

• The Pendant will receive an acknowledgment from Repeater
and will blink red Pendant LED for 2 msec. every 3 sec.
Caution: The Pendant must have a supervision window of no more
than 12 hours to avoid not discovering a missing device within 24
hours.
