REPEATER PANEL SETUP & PROGRAMMING
The QuickZone XL can support up to 8, fully functional repeater panels.
Repeater Comms PCB
To run repeaters, a Comms PCB (TPCA05) must be fitted to the control panel. A Comms PCB for the control
panel is supplied with each repeater panel. The repeater panels themselves already have the comms board
fitted.
The Comms PCB fits into the control panel on top of the main circuit board where the ribbon cable from the
display board is normally plugged.
To fit the Comms PCB, power down the panel, un-plug the display board ribbon cable from the main circuit
board and plug the Comms PCB into the socket instead.
A socket is provided on the top of the Comms PCB to re-connect the display board ribbon cable.
Once the Comms PCB has been fitted, the control panel will need to be programmed for the additional circuit
board. See panel wide settings 2-1-2-3 option 5 (Setup Internal PCB Configuration) on page 26.
Next, the panel will need to be programmed for the number of repeater panels on the system. See panel wide
settings 2-1-2-3 option 2 (Set Number of Repeater Panels on System) on page 25.
Addressing
Each repeater panel needs to have a seperate address. The addressing is done using the 4 DIL switches on
each of the Comms PCBs using binary code values, see diagram below.
The address should be set in sequence from 1 - 8, first repeater address 01, next repeater address 02 etc.
The control panel should always be address 0 (all switches off).
