ENROLLING
You must enroll the device in the controller. SiXRPTRA will attempt to auto enroll upon power up, if it times out you can press and
release the tamper to reinitiate the enrollment process
or remove and reconnect AC power.
1. Set the Controller in Programming Mode and when prompted:
2. Power up the SiXRPTRA and refer to the LED Status Table.
NOTES:
•
Once enrolled in a system, the SiXRPTRA cannot be used with another controller until it is removed from the current controller.
See the Controller’s instructions for details.
•
Enrollment time varies depending on the signal strength between the device and the controller. When done, Power LED is ON for 3
seconds and the controller beeps to confirm enrollment.
•
The SiXRPTRA should be installed before any other sensors.
NOTE:
Must be installed in accordance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70

NOTES:
1. Cycle for scrolling Enrollment LED is 2 sec ON / 4 sec Off.
2. Blinking will continue for 5 seconds and then ALL LED's will go BLANK.
3. RED LED should be slow blinking (ON for 0.5 seconds; OFF for 3 seconds)
4. With the cover installed, the RSSI and RF Jamming LED’s will be off after 15 seconds.
INSTALLING A NEW SiXRPTRA WITH AN EXISTING CONTROLLER AND SENSORS
1.
Using the “Compatibility Section” above confirm the controller and sensors are at the correct revision level to support the SiXRPTRA.
2.
Enroll the SiXRPTRA by keeping near the controller until all three LED’s are solid Green. The SiXRPTRA should be enrolled as a peripheral from
MobileTech.
3.
Walk the SiXRPTRA away from the controller in the direction in which the sensor(s) are not communicating with the controller.
NOTE:
Perform
this step without the front cover installed to monitor the RSSI.
4.
The SiXRPTRA verifies the signal strength between the controller and SiXRPTRA. The RSSI LED will change from Red to Amber (Green means
you are within range) at least 30 seconds. Amber LED tells you this is the furthest from the controller you can mount the SiXRPTRA.
5.
Perform “SiX Auto System Check” from MobileTech so the controller requests signal strength from all sensors. Once a sensor has joined the
SiXRPTRA the signal strength should be greater than -75dBm. When a sensor is associated with a repeater, the displayed signal strength
represents the connection quality between the sensor and the SiXRPTRA.
6.
MobileTech or the Controller can tell you which the sensor is connected. On the controller go to zones to determine which it is connected to.
Example: P800 represents the controller and R820 to R821 zones represents the SiXRPTRA. If sensors are not connected to the SiXRPTRA and
connected to the controller and the signal strength is less than -75dBm, then the sensor has not connected to the repeater or it is still too far away
from the controller/SiXRPTRA. If sensor signal strength is too weak then the controller can send a “SiX Network Resync” only to those sensors
using MobileTech. This creates the best path between sensor and repeater.
7.
Perform a Sensor Walk Test to verify sensors are communicating through the SiXRPTRA or directly to the controller.
NOTE
: Make sure all
doors/windows are closed before entering Walk Test.
