Repeater
Unit description
The repeater extends the range of the remote
radio control system.
Installation site
After programming the repeater is to be
plugged into a socket within the area within
which the remote radio control system still
functions without the repeater (preferably
about in the middle of the area).
Example
The radio receiver unit is positioned in the
house cellar. The central vacuum unit can no
longer be switched on and off using the radio
sender unit as from the 2nd floor. The remote
radio control only functions between the
cellar and the 1st floor without a repeater. A
repeater in to be plugged into a socket about
in the middle of the area from the cellar to the
1st floor, for example in the ground floor.

Programming
Program the radio sender unit in the
repeater
➜
Plug the repeater into a socket near the
radio receiver unit.
➜
Hold the radio sender against the repeater
housing so that it makes contact with it
(see Fig. 5-28).
Fig. 5-28:
Programming the radio sender
unit in the repeater
➜
Press one of the two buttons on the radio
sender unit, and keep it pressed until the
yellow LED lights up on the repeater.
➜
Now remove the radio sender unit from the
repeater and press the same button once
again.
The yellow LED at the repeater goes out.
The radio sender unit is saved.
➜
Repeat the steps described above in order
to program further radio sender units.
➜
Remove the repeater from the socket.
Programming the repeater in the radio
receiver unit and installing it
➜
Plug the plug of an extension cable into a
socket near the radio receiver unit.
➜
Hold the repeater against the housing of
the radio receiver unit so that it makes
contact with it (see Fig. 5-29) and plug it
into the extension cable in this position.
The yellow LED at the radio receiver unit

Programming the repeater in the
radio receiver unit
➜
Remove the repeater at least 10 cm from
the radio receiver unit, pull it out of the
extension cable and plug it back into the
extension cable immediately.
The yellow LED at the radio receiver unit
goes out. The programming process has
been completed.
➜
Disconnect the repeater from the
extension cable and plug it into the
selected socket (location with optimal
radio reception, see "Installation site" on
Page 27).
The central vacuum unit can now be
started via the radio sender unit.
■
A maximum of 6 radio sender units
can be connected to the repeater, i.e.
programmed in the repeater.
■
When the 7th radio sender unit is
programmed, the 6th radio sender unit
is overwritten.
■
The following programming steps are
required before the repeater is
installed:
- Program the radio sender unit in the
repeater
- Program the repeater in the
radio receiver unit
■
Two valid signals must be received
consecutively in order to program a
radio sender unit.
■
If the second signal is not received
within 30 seconds during
programming, the programming
process is aborted.
This is signalled 3 seconds long by a
rapidly flashing LED at the repeater.
Programming has to be repeated.
➜
Carry out the steps described below
within 30 seconds.
■
Otherwise the programming process is
aborted.
This is signalled 3 seconds long by a
rapidly flashing LED at the radio
receiver unit. Programming has to be
repeated.
