2.
Press the Tamper switch on the Repeater. The ping signal will be sent every 5 secs. The
Repeater will indicate the received signal strength as follows:
*same as Test Mode but long beeps instead of short beeps
3.
Set the Mode switch back to Normal mode to exit.
A matrix summary of the Test Mode and Beacon Mode can found in Appendix A.
Mounting the Repeater
A clean smooth surface is required to securely mount the Repeater. The unit should be placed on the
wall, at least 1.5m high from floor, for improved reception.
1.
Use the wall bracket as a template to mark and drill the
position of 3 mounting holes on the wall.
2.
Fix the wall bracket to the wall using the plastic wall plugs and fixing screws provided.
3.
Connect the DC adaptor to DC jack of the unit and place the battery cover over the battery
compartment.
Note : the unit should always be powered DC adaptor instead of its backup battery.
4.
Slide the unit down into its wall bracket ensuring the tamper
switch is pressed by the wall bracket as shown below.
Tamper Protection
Tamper protection is activated when the tamper switch is pressed
continuously for more than 2 minutes. Removing the unit from its wall bracket will release the tamper
switch and generate a full alarm condition.
Maintenance
1.
The unit reports its presence to the gateway every 60 minutes. This way the gateway will be
alerted if the Repeater becomes missing.
2.
Low Battery: When its backup battery becomes low, the unit will report back to the gateway and
the Status LED will flash every 30secs. Replace the battery the soonest possible to keep the unit
operating during a power cut.
Level-2 Repeater
Connecting a Level-2 Repeater
This follows the same procedure as binding to a Gateway.
1.
Firstly, bind the second Repeater to the Gateway as in the section Binding with Gateway.
2.
Once completed, setting its Level jumper to Level-2.
3.
Set the unit into pairing mode by press and holding its Learn button for 3 secs until a long beep
sound is heard, then release the button. The unit is now ready to pair for 30 secs.
4.
Within 30 secs, set Level-1 Repeater into pairing mode also by performing the previous step
above.
5.
Soon both units will emit a long beep indicating both are now connected to each other. Refer to
the LED Table for details of pairing indicators.
Disconnecting a Level-2 Repeater
1.
Set the Level-1 Repeater into pairing mode by press and holding its Learn button for 3 secs until a
long beep is heard, then release the button.
2.
Within 30 secs, bring the Level-2 Repeater in close range to Level-1 Repeater, around ~10cm
and press the Tamper switch on the Level-2 Repeater.
3.
2 long beeps will be heard on Level-1 Repeater indicating both are now disconnected from each
other.
Note:
- Level-2 will still preserve all the Join devices in its memory. It will continue to serve these devices
even after connecting to a new Repeater or directly to Gateway. Only by doing a Factory reset will all
the Join devices be erased from the Repeater’s memory.
- Level 3 jumper is for factory use only.
Troubleshooting
The troubleshooting table lists some possible causes and solutions
Symptom
Cause of Failure
Recommendation
Binding with Gateway does not work.
The Repeater has previously been
paired with another gateway
Perform factory reset on the Repeater.
Remote keyfob cannot Join to
Repeater.
Remote keyfob does not require
Join procedure
None. All the Repeaters in the network
will transmit signals from remote keyfob
Keypad and Siren cannot Join to
Repeater.
Keypad and Siren are not
supported.
Keep keypad or siren within range of the
Gateway
Repeater keeps beeping whenever a
signal is received.
Repeater set to Test Mode
Switch Mode jumper to Normal Mode.
Repeater is added but still cannot
achieve desired range.
1. Range is too far.
2. Signal is blocked by thick wall.
1. Set the Repeater to Level-2 and add a
Level-1 Repeater in between to extend
range.
2. Place Repeater near openings in the
wall such as a door or window.
Cannot pair a second Repeater to
first Repeater
Both Repeaters are set to the
same Level
Set one of them to a different Level using
the Level jumper.
Manual Binding
1.
Set the unit into pairing mode by pressing and holding its Learn button for 3 secs until a long beep
sound is heard, then release the button. The unit is now ready to pair for 30 secs.
2.
Set a U-net compatible gateway into binding mode. Usually this is achieved by pressing the Link
button on the gateway.
3.
Within 5 secs the unit will emit a long beep indicating the binding procedure is complete. Refer to
the LED Table for details of pairing indicators.
