NSTALLATION

 

If you have just one sensor array (with transmitter) and just one repeater, sim-
ply follow the instructions below to install your system.  If you have a more 
complex setup that involves multiple repeaters or multiple transmitters within 
1500’ (450 m) of each other, see “Advanced Installations” on page 10.

 

Setting up the Repeater

 

The repeater is pre-set by the factory to listen for a transmitter whose ID code is 
also set to the factory default.  If you 

 

have not reset

 

 your transmitter’s ID code 

from the factory default, then your repeater should pick up your transmitter’s 
signal automatically and you can skip to “Choosing a Location” on page 4.

If you 

 

have

 

 changed the Transmitter ID code to one of the 7 other optional dip 

switch settings, you need to set the repeater to listen for that ID code.  To do so, 
first find your current transmitter settings by looking at the position of its first 
three dip switches.

Then match the ON/OFF settings to a Transmitter ID code in the following 
table.  For example, if your transmitter’s dip switches are set to OFF, ON, OFF, 
then your Transmitter ID code is 3.
