2GIG-RPTR1-345
WIRELESS INDOOR REPEATER
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
The
2GIG
Wireless
Indoor
Repeater
(2GIG
‐
RPTR1
‐
345)
is
a
remotely
powered
wireless
indoor
repeater.
The
repeater
is
a
peripheral
device
that
communicates
with
the
2GIG
Panel
using
a
proprietary
345
MHz
transmission
protocol.
The
repeater
receives
and
recognizes
messages
from
other
345
MHz
devices
that
are
unable
to
directly
communicate
with
the
system,
and
“repeats”
those
messages
to
extend
the
range
of
these
devices.
The
repeater
will
typically
be
installed
at
the
mid
‐
point
between
the
panel
and
the
wireless
devices
being
repeated.
When
a
transmission
from
a
device
is
repeated,
the
repeater
adds
a
bit
to
the
message
to
indicate
to
the
system
that
the
message
is
not
coming
directly
from
the
device.
The
repeater
will
not
repeat
already
repeated
messages.
The
repeater
is
powered
by
an
AC
adapter
and
is
equipped
with
a
rechargeable
battery
which
supports
24
hours
of
battery
back
up
under
conditions
of
local
power
failure.
When
the
power
source
for
the
repeater
changes
from
AC
power
to
battery
backup,
or
from
battery
backup
to
AC
power,
the
repeater
will
automatically
send
a
message
to
the
system
within
two
(2)
minutes.
In
addition,
supervisory
messages
are
sent
approximately
every
70
minutes
that
indicate
the
repeater
status.
The
repeater
is
equipped
with
a
status
indicator
LED
visible
from
the
front
of
the
unit,
and
a
learn
button
is
located
on
the
side
of
the
unit.

Installing the Battery
The
rechargeable
battery
can
be
installed
by
opening
the
enclosure
while
the
power
is
disconnected
(see
Figure
2).
WARNING:
Polarity
of
the
battery
must
be
observed.
Align
the
battery
to
match
the
polarity
indicators
on
the
circuit
board.
Improper
installation
of
the
battery
may
result
in
heat
generation,
explosion,
or
fire
which
may
lead
to
personal
injury.
Installing the Repeater

Wireless Indoor Repeater Component and Feature Locations
Mounting Guidelines
Use
these
guidelines
when
installing
the
wireless
indoor
repeater:
•
Mount
Repeaters
within
100
ft
(30
m)
of
the
Control
Panel.
Although
the
transmitter
may
have
a
range
of
350
ft
(106.7
m)
in
open
air,
the
repeater
location
can
have
a
significant
effect
on
range.
In
open/unobstructed
situations,
the
transmitter
range
may
be
greater.
In
adverse
wireless
conditions,
changing
the
repeater
orientation
may
lead
to
improved
range.
•
Mount
Repeaters
as
high
as
possible.
Mounting
the
repeater
high
off
the
ground
helps
receiver
sensitivity.
•
Do
Not
Expose
Repeaters
to
Moisture
or
Extreme
Temperature.
It
is
best
to
mount
repeaters
in
a
dry
location
where
the
operating
temperature
does
not
exceed
32°
to
120°
F
(0°
to
49°
C).
•
Keep
Repeaters
Away
from
Metal/Metalic
Surfaces.
To
keep
the
repeater
away
from
metal
or
metallic
surfaces
(for
example,
foil
wallpaper),
it
is
recommended
that
you
use
spacers
(not
included).
You
should
also
avoid
mounting
sensors
in
areas
where
there
is
a
large
quantity
of
metal
or
electrical
wiring
(for
example,
near
a
furnace
or
in
a
utility
room).
To
install
the
wireless
repeater:
1
Open
the
repeater
case.
2
Attach
the
base
to
the
desired
wall
location
with
the
four
(4)
Phillips
head
screws
and
anchors
supplied
(see
Figure
2).
3
Install
the
tamper
screw
(see
Figure
2).
With
the
tamper
screw
installed,
removing
the
case
from
the
wall
triggers
tamper.
NOTE:
For
the
tamper
to
work
correctly,
the
tamper
screw
must
be
installed
into
a
wall
stud.
Do
not
use
a
wall
anchor.
4
Install
the
battery.
Observe
battery
polarity.
5
Connect
the
2
‐
conductor
wire
to
the
power
supply
and
to
the
terminal
connector
on
the
circuit
board.
Make
sure
the
wire
passes
through
the
grommet
and
hole
on
the
repeater
base
before
connecting
to
the
terminal.
6
Attach
the
repeater
cover
to
the
base
and
secure
the
assembly
with
the
Phillips
head
case
locking
screw.
