SiXRPTRA

Wireless Repeater

Installation and Setup Guide

The SiXRPTRA is an RF receiver and a

transmitter and is intended to extend the

indoor range of SiX series devices. The

SiXRPTRA receives alarm, status, and

control messages from SiX series devices,

and forwards these messages to control

panel. The control then responds

accordingly (arm/disarm the system, initiate

an alarm, etc.).

FEATURES

•

Transmits its own status, including

wall and case tamper, AC loss, low

battery and RF Jam.

•

Indicates RF Jam, AC/Battery Status,

and RSSI (Received Signal Strength

Indicator) using LED’s.

•

RSSI indicates the signal condition

between the repeater and the

controller.

•

Provides a 24-hour backup

rechargeable battery.

• ETL listed to meet UL standards.

GENERAL GUIDELINES

• The SiXRPTRA module uses a 5VDC power supply to charge the battery.

• If the battery voltage drops to 3.6VDC a low battery occurs.

NOTE: It is incapable of charging the battery if the voltage is lower than 2.6VDC (it must be replaced.)

• Conduct the SiX Auto System Check (see controller’s instructions) to verify adequate signal strength, relocate if necessary.

• SiXRPTRA is designed to operate 200 feet through three walls of wood, aluminum and dry wall construction.

When a single repeater installation is required.

• Range of the controller and sensor is more than 200 ft. line of sight.

• Signal Strength of sensors at using the programming app is worse than -75dBm for one or more sensors.

• Walk Test Failure of any Sensor/Keypad.

• If installation requires more than two floor communication.

• If more obstacles are interfering (more than three walls, high density metal doors, wood doors, multiple concrete walls, etc.) with

communication between sensor and controller.

• No response from signal strength query from programming app or controller.

When a second repeater installation is required.

Same as Single Repeater installation except:

• Range of the panel and sensor is more than 500 ft line of site, then install the controller in the middle with repeaters on either

direction of the panel.

• If Installation requires more than 3 floor Communication. Install Controller on the middle Floor; then install Repeater based on the

steady Amber RSSI (Signal Strength) LED indication as described in LED table below.

NOTE: Maximum number of the repeater allowed in a system is two. The path of transmission is as follows: transmitter  repeater

 controller. NOT transmitter  repeater  repeater  receiver.

COMPATIBILITY (REPEATER READY SYSTEM)

• All sensors (including keyfobs) connected to the controller should have revision Firmware Release #4 or greater. Sensors that are

“Repeater Ready” will have a sticker that says, “Firmware Release #4.”

• The controller should have a sticker that says, “Firmware Release #4.”

NOTES:

• If controller’s firmware is less than that described above, then the controller will have to be upgraded. Either by firmware update or

full controller replacement.

• If the revision of the sensors is less than 4 (i.e. pre-existing sensors), then the controller must be upgraded to update the firmware

in the sensors.

MOUNTING

NOTE: for best results mount the SiXRPTRA as high as possible, keeping it away from metal objects.

1. Select a mounting position for the module.

IMPORTANT!

• DO NOT mount on or inside a metal

enclosure/object.

• DO NOT install near to WI-FI Routers, Microwave

Oven and other interfering devices. Maintain at least

10 feet distance.

2. Attach to the wall using the supplied screws.

3. Install the center screw to secure the back tamper to the wall.

4. Ensure the wiring is complete. Use cable ties or staples as

necessary to secure wiring.

5. Plug the power supply into an un-switched outlet and secure

with screw.

6. Attach the backup battery wires.

AC POWER

The repeater is powered by a 5VDC, 1 Amp Plug-in Power

Supply (Part #: 300-10342). Refer to the wiring table below for

wire gauge and length:

Wire Gauge

Wire Length

#22

Up to 20 feet (6m)

#20

Up to 33 feet (10m)

#18

Up to 50 feet (15m)

Use only the 300-10259 Power Supply. Plug the

battery prior to providing power from AC Outlet.

NOTE: For Indoor Use Only.

ENROLLING You must enroll the device in the controller. SiXRPTRA will attempt to auto enroll upon power up, if it times out you can press and release the tamper to reinitiate the enrollment process or remove and reconnect AC power. 1. Set the Controller in Programming Mode and when prompted: 2. Power up the SiXRPTRA and refer to the LED Status Table. NOTES: • Once enrolled in a system, the SiXRPTRA cannot be used with another controller until it is removed from the current controller.

INSTALLING A NEW SiXRPTRA WITH A NEW CONTROLLER AND SENSORS INSTALLATION 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. Using the “Compatibility Section” above confirm the controller and sensors are at the correct revision level to support the SiXRPTRA. Enroll the SiXRPTRA by keeping near the controller until all three LED’s are solid Green. The SiXRPTRA should be enrolled as a peripheral from MobileTech.

TEST SYSTEM WEEKLY NOTE: System must also be tested with AC power removed. REFER TO THE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE CONTROL WITH WHICH THIS DEVICE IS USED, FOR DETAILS REGARDING LIMITATIONS OF THE ENTIRE ALARM SYSTEM. RF EXPOSURE Warning – The antenna(s) used for this device must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 7.
