ARU-200
SATEL
Prior to installation you should plan the arrangement of all ABAX 2 system wireless devices,
whose signals are to be retransmitted. Select the place of installation so that the repeater is
located within the operating range of the devices and, at the same time, the ABAX 2
controller is located within the operating range of the repeater. The radio communication
range depends not only on the installation location, but also on the position of the repeater
antenna, i.e. on how the enclosure is mounted (horizontally, vertically, diagonally). Please
note that thick walls, metal partitions, etc. will reduce the range of the radio signal.
It is recommended that the repeater be mounted high above the floor. This will allow you to
get a better range of radio communication and avoid the risk of the repeater being
accidentally covered by people moving around the premises. Installing the device in close
vicinity of electrical systems is not recommended, since it can affect the range of radio signal.
The repeater should be permanently connected to the 230 VAC mains supply. Before you
make the cabling, familiarize yourself with the electrical installation of the facility. Make sure
that the circuit you choose for powering will be always alive. The circuit must be provided with
a 2-pole switch disconnector with at least 3 mm contact separation and/or short-circuit
protection with a 16 A time-delay fuse. The owner or user of the ABAX 2 system should be
instructed on how to disconnect the repeater from the mains (e.g. show them which circuit
breaker protects the repeater supply circuit).
1. Loosen the cover locking screws and remove the enclosure cover (Fig. 3).
2. Place the repeater at the location of intended installation.
3. Make an opening for power wires in the enclosure base.
4. Temporarily connect the repeater to 230 VAC mains.
5. Replace the cover.
6. Add the repeater to the ABAX 2 system (see the ABAX 2 controller manual). The repeater
occupies two positions on the device list.
In the INTEGRA / VERSA alarm system, the repeater is identified as ARU-100.
7. Check the level of signal received from the repeater by the ABAX 2 controller. If the signal
level is lower than 40%, select another place for installation. Sometimes, it is sufficient to
shift the detector ten or twenty centimeters.
