(ii) Press and hold the test button until the alarm sounds and the amber light comes
on, then immediately (while light remains on) press and hold the House Code
switch on the side of the
RadioLINK
Base with a small screwdriver until the amber
light flashes slowly. Release switch. The amber light will flash slowly to indicate that
the
RadioLINK
base is in Repeater Mode.
Although, any Ei168
RadioLINK
Base can be converted into a Repeater Base.
Only one base should be designated as a repeater unit in any house
installation.
More then one repeater base in any single system may cause signal
interference and could result in units not communicating with each other.
(Note: To deactivate the Repeater function see section 10 - Technical Specification)
5. TROUBLESHOOTING RF LINK
If, when checking the radio link interconnection, some of the alarms do not respond
to the button test, then:
(i) Ensure you have held the test button down until the amber light has come on
continuously for 3.5 seconds (this could take up to 20 seconds).
(ii) Convert one of the
RadioLINK
Bases that is centrally located within the house
in to a Repeater . (see section 4)
(iii) Extend the flexible antenna from the base housing. To do this the antenna
should first be removed from its groove in the base of the unit (see figure 8).
Remove the breakaway section in the outer rim and the push the antenna in to this
groove. From maximum signal strength the antenna should be pushed flat against
the ceiling in a parallel orientation to the other units (see figure 9).
