General information
The radio repeater FV2 R is used to extend the range of the
Schalk radio systems.
The FV2 R receives already attenuated radio protocols and
then transmits them again with full transmission power.
Applications
Increase of the radio range for all current Schalk radio sys-
tems.
Operation
All radio protocols (factory setting) or only specially trained
radio protocols can be repeated.
Installation and conguration
In most applications it is recommended to operate the re-
peater directly in its factory setting.
The special teaching of radio protocols is only necessary if
disturbing radio overlays of several simultaneously respond-
ing radio repeaters (e.g. from neighbouring installations
within radio range) can occur. As soon as at least one radio
protocol has been tuned in, the repeater reacts only to the
tuned in radio protocols.
A disturbing, simultaneous response of several repeaters
can thus be specically excluded.
Cascading of several repeaters is not possible!

Teaching radio protocols
Teaching in with a transmitter from the FS3 series:
1) By briey pressing the "Prog." key on the FV2 R, the pro-
gramming mode is activated. LED Rx lights up green.
2) On the transmitter, press the send button to be pro-
grammed briey.
The Rx LED on the repeater goes out when a valid signal is
received. The teach-in process is thus successfully com-
pleted.
If the repeater cannot receive a valid radio protocol within
20s, the teach-in process is automatically aborted.
In this way, up to 12 response codes can be learned.
Teach-in process with magnetic contact transmitter FV2
SM:
1) By briey pressing the "Prog." key on the FV2 R, the pro-
gramming mode is activated. LED Rx lights up green.
2) Briey press the programming button in the open trans-
mitter. The LED in the transmitter starts to light red.
3) Now press the programming button in the transmitter
again and keep it pressed until the red LED goes out.
The Rx LED on the repeater goes out when a valid signal is
received. The teach-in process is thus successfully com-
pleted.
If the repeater cannot receive a valid radio protocol within
20s, the teach-in process is automatically aborted.
Teach-in process with transmitter FV2 S:
1) By briey pressing the "Prog." key on the FV2 R, the pro-
gramming mode is activated. LED Rx lights up green.
2) At the transmitter by repeatedly briey pressing the “Prog."
button, select the radio channel to be tuned in (B1 to B4) The
corresponding LED lights red.
3) Now press the"Prog." button on the transmitter again and
keep it pressed until the red LED goes out.
The Rx LED on the repeater goes out when a valid signal is
received. The teach-in process is thus successfully com-
pleted.
If the repeater cannot receive a valid radio protocol within
20s, the teach-in process is automatically aborted.
A maximum of 12 different radio protocols can be tuned in.
The Rx-LED and Tx-LED ash twice simultaneously if an at-
tempt is made to learn more than 12 radio protocols.
Deleting radio protocols
Delete the last taught-in radio protocol:
1) By briey pressing the "Prog." key on the FV2 R, the pro-
gramming mode is activated. LED Rx lights up green.
2) Now press the"Prog." button on the transmitter for more
than 5s. The Rx and Tx LEDs ash 3 times to conrm.
Delete all taught-in radio protocols (restore factory set-
tings):
If the repeater is not in teach-in mode and the "Prog.” button
is pressed for longer than 10s, all taught-in radio protocols
are deleted. The repeater is thus reset to its factory setting.
The Rx and Tx LEDs ash 5 times to conrm.
LED function display
Tx-LED ickers red:
Valid radio protocols are received and transmitted (normal
repeater operation).
Rx-LED ickers green:
Unlearned radio protocols are received correctly, but not
forwarded.

Electrical connection and range optimization
Notes on wireless range:
The antenna of the devices is located just above the bottom
of the housing and runs along the right and top edges of the
housing. This area must have sufcient distance to metal
surfaces. Since the radiation is not homogeneous, the range
can be signicantly improved by aligning the devices (to be
determined in the experiment). The installation site should
be at least 1 m above ground level.
For a good radio range and reliable radio reception, please
observe in general:
- Do not mount radio modules directly on metal surfaces.
- Avoid metallic housings and shields
- Align transmitter and receiver optimally to each other
- Install at highest possible locations (>1m above ground)
- Please note: damp or steel-reinforced walls and ceilings,
moist soil, etc. attenuate any wireless radiation
Other electronic consumers (ballasts, switching power sup-
plies, power regulators, etc.) may cause locally limited radio
interference in individual cases.
In the event of a fault, please try to establish sufcient dis-
tance to an affected radio module.
