DETERMINING REPEATER LOCATION
Remove the battery from the sensor that is not connected to the receiver, and press the yellow trasmit
button. This dissipates any capacitive charge left in the sensor. Leave the sensor in the space.
Open the repeater and set the dip switches of the repeater to the network ID of the receiver. If the system
is the only one in the building, the network ID will probably set to default 1.
Install the batteries in the battery clips; being mindful of the polarity. Keep J1 in the Vin position.
Take the repeater to an area half way between the transceiver and the sensor(s) that are not connecting.
The antenna board on the repeater has three (3) LED’s on it (see
Figure 2,
p. 3): Active, Data and Link. The
Active LED flashes once every second to indicate power to the board. The Data and Link are visual
indications of wireless transmissions.
Hold the repeater high and move the J1 jumper to Battery. The Active LED will start flashing once every
second. The Data LED will flash 4-5 looking for the receiver. When the repeater links with the receiver, the
Data LED will go solid for 3 seconds and then go out. Watch the Data LED for a couple minutes to make sure
it stays connected.
If the repeater does not link, the Data LED will continure to flash looking for a receiver. If this is the case,
remove the jumper from J1 and move the repeater closer to the receiver and try connecting again by
putting the jumper in the battery position on J1.
Once the repeater is linked, leave the repeater at the spot and go to the space where the non-connected
sensor(s) are. Place the battery in the sensor. The Link LED will flash 8-10 times looking for the repeater.
Once the sensor is connected, the Link LED on the sensor will flash once every 75 seconds.
You can verify sensors are linking through the repeater by watching the Data and the Link LED. Every time
a sensor transmits through the repeater the Data and Link LED’s will flash.
The battery operated mode is intended to be used for site survey or powered to located the repeater and
must be with 24 VAC for long term use. The RR2552B will last about 6 hours if used in battery mode.

GENERAL INFORMATION
The RR2552B repeater uses the reliable 900 MHz spread spectrum technology to work with any ACI wireless
system to boost or extend the range of wireless sensors and is easily installed. The RR2552B has an 8 position
dipswitch that is user selectable to set the address of the RR2552B to match the Network ID of the
receiver/transceiver in each system so there is no programming required. The RR2552B must be powered with 24
VAC. Two Duracell DL123 3V lithium batteries are included for temporary power to position the repeater before
final installation and wiring. Without the use of the RR2552B wireless repeater, all systems will be a point to point
system, meaning that the sensor and transceiver will communicate directly with each other. Sensor distance and
reliability can be increased with the addition of a RR2552B(s) repeater. The RR2552B will work with all ACI wireless
sensors, receivers and transceivers.
MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
PRECAUTIONS
• To maintain high performance, do not install sensors, repeaters, or receivers in the following areas:
- Inside metal enclosure / panel
- Inside or immediately next to elevator shaft or elevator banks
- In front of or immediately next to large trees or large body of water
- Do not mount above false ceiling. Mount in wall 1” below ceiling.
- Use the battery option to determine mounting location before wiring.
- Do not put more then two RR2552B repeaters in series.
- Contact ACI Tech Support for further assistance.
SETTING REPEATABLE NETWORK ID
The RM2432 or MOD9200’s has a network ID assigned to them through the configuration software (default
network ID of 1). If there are multiple ACI wireless systems running in a building at the same time, each
receiver or transceiver needs to have its own separate network ID # which is set through the configuration
software. If a repeater is added to a system, the repeater has Binary dip switches that must match the
network ID of the system the repeater is being added to. If there is only one ACI wireless system running,
the network ID is probably set to
default 1. With all the dip switches off
on the repeater, the default address
is binary “1” (default).
Example: To set the Network ID to “2”,
depress the “+1” switch to “ON” to
add “1” to the Base ID of “1”.
To set the Network ID to “3”, set the
“+1” switch to “OFF”, and the “+2”
switch to “ON” to add “2” to the Base
ID of “1” equaling “3”. See
Table 1
for
switch positions.
WIRING INSTRUCTIONS
WIRING PRECAUTIONS
• Remove power before wiring. NEVER connect or disconnect wiring with power applied.
• The RR2552 is full wave rectified.
• It is recommended that you use an isolated UL-listed Class 2 transformer when powering the unit
with 24 VAC. Failure to wire the devices with the correct polarity when sharing transformers may
result in damage to any device powered by the shared transformer.
Observe polarity when connecting
analog outputs to the controller inputs.
WIRING
Connect 24VAC 60Hz to the TB1 terminals using 16-26 AWG twisted pair wire (see
Figure 2
). Check all
connections before applying power to the unit.
