ABOUT THIS PANEL

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

The AlarmSense PLUS repeater panels have the same, easy to use, controls and indications as the main 

control panel but mounted in a smaller cabinet.

The repeaters are fully functional with ‘Silence’, ‘Resound’ and ‘Reset’ controls, as well as Disable and 
Test Mode functions. AlarmSense PLUS panels can support up to 8 repeater panels.

Repeater panels are designed to be wired in a fault tolerant (fail safe) loop configuration, from comms A 
to B and back to the main panel again. This enables repeater panels to still work if there is a break in the 

cables. 

If  replacing  an  older  system  where  the  existing  cabling  cannot  be  configured  in  a  loop  as  above,  it  is 
possible to re-programme the panel back to legacy RS485 circuit comms monitoring. This then allows any 

topology of comms cabling to be utilised.

The main circuit board has 2, switch –ve, inputs which can be used to sound or pulse the alarms. These 
inputs can also be re-programmed for use as PSU fault inputs.

The internal comms PCB has 6, switch –ve, programmable outputs.

Different key types are used for the door lock and the ‘activate controls’ key-switch. It is also possible 
to enable the controls via a 4 digit code entry if preferred.  An eight button keypad is used to control the 
system and allow access to the function options (unless disabled).

The control panel comprises of a sheet steel enclosure suitable for wall mounting with a hinged, lockable 

front access door. It can be semi recessed, using a suitable recessing bezel. Cable entry is via 20mm 

‘knockouts’ located at the top and rear of the cabinet.

The repeaters are supplied with a 1.5 amp internal power supply module. This module complies with the 
requirements of EN54-4 : 1988 and provides temperature compensated battery management charging.
