6. REPEATER NETWORK CONFIGURATION
1. Power on SIN.EQRTU1T, connect to web interface and start antenna and device scan following
the user’s manual
2. Power on the first device SIN.EQRPT868XT to be installed and move it away to a minimum distance
of 5 metres from SIN.EQRTU1T
3. Fixed blue SIN.EQRPT868XT LED shows the connection to the MESH network
4. Once connected, it shows the MESH radio signal quality to the gateway, by turning on the green
front LED, 1 – insufficient reception, 2 – sufficient, 3- good, 4 – excellent
5. Put SIN.EQRPT868XT in a place where the reception signal is >=2 and the reception of all the W. M-Bus
devices you expect to receive with this antenna is satisfactory
6. Check through SIN.EQRTU1T web interface or through SIN.EQSW1 software and a PC connected to the
antenna by USB that W. M-Bus devices, that you want to receive, reach the SIN.EQRPT868XT
7. Fasten the SIN.EQRPT868XT and proceed with powering a second repeater keeping it at least 5 metres
away from both the SIN.EQRPT868XT and SIN.EQRTU1T
8. Once connected, it shows the MESH radio signal quality to the gateway, by turning on the front LED,
so proceed as for the first SIN.EQRPT868XT.
a) The scanning phase is 12 hours. You can modify its duration through SIN.EQRTU1T
b) You can have various independent SIN.EQRPT868XT networks in the same building. In that case,
you need to have different ID or channel for each SIN.EQRPT868XT group and the relative
SIN.EQRTU1T.
You can modify these parameters through SIN.EQSW1 software installed on a pc and connected via
USB to SIN.EQRPT868XT, see user’s manual for details.
c) In case the receiver receives more than 500 W. M-Bus devices or it receives devices belonging
to other plants, it might be necessary to make it selective. Therefore, you can load a list of W. M-Bus
devices marked by their serial number through SIN.EQSW1 software.
In this way, the repeater will receive the data exclusively from the listed devices.
d) The USB / Mini USB cable is not included and is not present in the package.

those exceeding 500 are ignored, and may in fact belong to the plant to be checked.
In this case it is necessary to charge, in the same Repeater, a file with a list of devices that are part of
its plant (Maximum 500); after uploading the file, the signal of the devices that are not included in the list
is ignored by the Repeater.
The file, whose name must be list.rpt, must be a CSV file with a format such as the one shown in the
following figure.
SPECIAL CASES OF USE
The following image shows an installation in which, or for different properties reasons , or for number of
devices to be controlled exceeds 500 (Max 500 for each RTU1T), it is necessary to create four
different networks of SIN.EQRPT868XT Repeaters.
Obviously the following is valid also in cases where there are 2, 3, 5 or a higher number of Repeaters
networks.
In order to avoid interferences between the various systems, assign to each RTU1T a different Mesh
network ID. The setting is done on RTU1T through its web interface; Settings / Wireless Devices /
Wireless Setup / Setup Mesh Network.
The same Mesh network ID setting must be carried out also on all Repeaters that are part of the
network of the RTU1T which they have to communicate with.
For this procedure it is necessary to connect a PC to the Repeater to be configured (via USB cable).
Use the SIN.EQSW1 software (downloadable from the download section of sinapsitech.it) and follow
the instructions in the manual.
Note: It is recommended not to change the Mesh Network Channel (default = 13 both on RTU1Ts
and on Repeaters), because the change may involve the transmission power of the devices.
LOADING ON REPEATERS OF A W. M-Bus DEVICES LIST IN THE PLANT
(ONLY ON REPEATERS WITH FIRMWARE VERSION FWRPT1_V1R20.hex ONWARDS)
Referring to the same image of the previous installation, the various Repeaters receive W. M-Bus signal
from their plant devices but they can also receive the signal from devices of adjacent plants.
If one or more Repeaters receive the signal from more than 500 devices (Max 500 for each repeater),
For this procedure it is necessary to connect a PC to the Repeater to be configured (via USB cable).
Use the SIN.EQSW1 software and follow the instructions in the manual.
CONFIGURATION REPEATER THROUGH FUNCTIONALITY OF KEYS
REPEATERS FIRMWARE UPGRADE
You should always check the possible release of the latest firmware available version of the Repeaters,
compared to the one installed on the devices in the production phase.
For this procedure it is necessary to connect a PC to the repeater to be configured (via cable
USB). Use the SIN.EQSW1 software (downloadable from the download section of sinapsitech.it) and
follow the instructions in the manual.

Manufactured by SINAPSI SRL - Via delle Querce 11/13 - 06083 Bastia Umbra (PG) - Italy
Change ID MESH - SIN.EQRPT868XT
1. Press keys 2 and 3 (2s. < T <6s) simultaneously.
2. On release all the LEDs (8) will flash at the same time to indicate
that you have entered edit mode ID MESH
3. Now press button 3 (at least 1s.) to switch the ID MESH.
- ID MESH 1 => Green LED (8.1) on - the others off
- ID MESH 2 => Green LED (8.2) on - the others off
- ID MESH 3 => Green LED (8.3) on - the others off
- ID MESH 4 => Green LED (8.4) on - the others off
4. To SAVE press keys 2 and 3 simultaneously for more than 1s.
Press the 2 button to exit without saving.
5. Verify that the blue LED does not remain on steady.
Otherwise, restart from point 1. by selecting another MESH ID.
6. If, after switching on all four MESH IDs, the blue LED continues to
remain on steady, it will be necessary to configure the
SIN.EQRPT868XT via SIN.EQSW1 software.
7. Repeat for each SIN.EQRPT868XT.
Activate SND_IR mode (Installation Mode) - SIN.EQRPT868XT
a) It typically involves the installation of the AMR system and
subsequently the installation of the heat cost allocators
b) Both the AMR system and the distributors must be configured to work
in this mode
c) SND_IR mode activation procedure on a newly installed
SIN.EQRPT868XT
1. Press button 2 (t> 6s.). When pressing button 2, the green LED (8.1)
flashes every second, until you are under the 6s. Once the 6s have
passed, the LED (8.1) flashes every 500ms => this indicates that the
"SND_IR" scan mode has been changed.
2. RPT enters the "SND_IR" scan mode. RPT receives and takes over all
the devices that transmit the installation W-M-Bus telegram.
(This frame contains no data)
3. Scan duration without user intervention 12 hours -> Manual stop of
the scan => press key 2 (no coded pressure time)
Note: SIN.EQRPT868XT automatically exits the SCAN mode after
12 hours.
Accept mode activation ALL - SIN.EQRPT868XT
a) It is used when the commissioning is carried out after with respect to
the installation of the heat cost allocators
b) To activate the accept ALL mode on a newly installed SIN.EQRPT868XT
1. Press button 2 (2s. < T < 6s)
2. When pressing button 2, the LED (8.1) flashes every second. When the
key 2 is released, the LED (8.1.) remains lit to indicate the activation of
the accept ALL mode.
3. RPT receives and takes charge of all devices transmitting in W.M-Bus
including frames in Installation Mode (SND_IR) - The first green LED
lights up permanently - Scan duration without user intervention 12 hours
4. press the button 2 (no coded pressure time) to stop the scan manually
Note: if during the scan the RPT connects into the MESH network the mode
of operation will automatically change with the value set on the RTU.
SIN.EQRPT868XT - S - T - C Mode of operation modification
1. Press keys 2 and 3 simultaneously (t > 6s.)
─during the simultaneous pressing of keys 2 and 3, the green LEDs
(8.1) and (8.2) will flash every second, until you are under the 6s.
Exceeded the 6s. they flash every 500ms
─When keys 2 and 3 are released, one of the green LEDs (8) starts to
flash (500ms) to indicate the currently active mode of operation on
that SIN.EQRPT868XT
2. The mode of operation is changed by pressing the 3 key briefly
• Mode C+T => Green LED (8.1) on - the other off Factory setting
• Mode S => Green LED (8.2) on - the other off
• Mode T => Green LED (8.3) on - the other off
3. save settings by pressing the 2 and 3 button (t> 2s.)
4. exit => key 2 for ESC function without saving (during programming
status). Automatic ESC from programming status after 10 minutes
later.
Note: SIN.EQRPT868XT automatically exits the SCAN mode after
12 hours.
Restore factory settings
1. Press and hold keys 2 and 3 simultaneously.
2. Then press the reset button 4, without releasing the keys 2 and 3
3. As soon as all the LEDs (8) and (9) flash quickly, release all three keys.
