3. Installation – General Information
The SA-29 Repeater detects the RF transmissions from the Rosslare
sensors and remote controls in its vicinity and re-transmits them to the
main control unit.
Avoid mounting on or near large metal surfaces or
reinforced concrete walls, which may interfere or block the
wireless signals. Test the range from the desired location
using the rf test procedure described in Section
4.5.
To prevent false tamper signals, make sure that after
enrolling the repeater, the case and back tamper are secure.
Battery warning!!! Do not remove, de-solder, short-circuit or
burn the battery on the unit. This may cause permanent
damage to the battery.
4. Installation Instructions
4.1 Recharging the Battery
Recharge the battery the first time you operate the SA-29, or if you are
using the unit after it has been out of service for a prolonged period of
time.
Recharge the UPS battery for at least 7 hours, to make it fully
functional.
4.2 Enrolling to the Host Control Panel
1. In the appropriate RF zone, enter the programming menu of the
host.
2. Go to the Repeater Zone and select the RF device.
3. When prompted, generate a transmission from the SA-29
Repeater unit using the cover Tamper Switch (the SA-29 must be
connected to DC power).
4.3 Mounting the SA-29 onto the Wall
1. Remove the plastic screw cover from the SA-29 front cover to
reveal the case-locking screw.
2. Unscrew the case locking screw and remove the front cover.
Do not touch any of the circuitry.
3. Using the back case as a template, mark the locations of the holes
on the wall, and then drill the desired holes. It is recommended to
install the unit in a high position to prevent tampering.

4.4 Connecting the Power and Setting the
Back Tamper Operation Logic
1. When wiring the power, remove the power supply from the mains.
2. Run the two power wires (+12 VDC) and (-) through the hole
provided in the back case.
3. Connect to the terminal blocks for Vin (Figure 2), connecting the
Ground (-) and then the (+12 VDC).
Figure 2: Connecting to 12 VDC Power
4. Use the jumper to enable or disable the back tamper (Figure 2):
Jumper in place -> Back tamper disabled
Jumper removed -> Back tamper enabled
Make sure the casing is mounted flush onto the mounting
surface to prevent false back tamper signals.
4.5 Testing the Installation
1. Perform the RF test by entering the Host's RF test feature, and
transmitting to the host using the SA-29 cover tamper switch.
2. Perform a visual test using the LED of the SA-29 to see that the
unit's repeating function is functioning properly.
The LED flashes each time the SA-29 transmits.
4.6 Finishing the Installation
1. When all the above instructions have been followed and the unit is
functioning, replace the tap cover and screw (a security screw may
be used for additional protection).
2. Replace the plastic screw cover.
