Wireless Repeater

INSTALLATION INS TRUCTIONS

The Honeywell SiXREPEATER is an RF receiver/transmitter intended to extend
the range of Honeywell’s SiX series devices by 200 feet (nominal range). The
SiXREPEATER receives alarm, status, and control messages from SiX series
devices. Once received, it forwards these messages to controller. The controller
then responds accordingly (arm/disarm the system, initiate an alarm, etc.).

FEATURES

• Transmits its own status, including tamper, AC loss, and RF Jam.

• Status sent when any change occurs or during the one hour supervisory

check in.

• Provides a 24-hour backup rechargeable battery.

• Features a Spatial Diversity system that virtually eliminates the possibility of

"Nulls" and "Dead Spots" within the coverage area.

• Front and wall tampers

GENERAL GUIDELINES

• The SiXREPEATER module uses a 5VDC power supply to
charge the battery (Max wire length is 9.8 ft. (3m)).

• If the 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.)

• Before mounting permanently, conduct the Go/No Go test
(see controller’s instructions) to verify adequate signal
strength, relocate if necessary.

• Can be installed in a
residential environment and is designed to operate 200 feet
through three walls of wood, aluminum and dry wall
construction.

• Designed for a single repeat, meaning the correct path is
transmitter > repeater > receiver. NOT transmitter >
repeater > repeater > receiver.

PLACEMENT

Find the “Null” or “Dead Spot”

1. Enter the Go-No-Go test mode: For Lyric control:

Security > Tools > Installer Code > Test > Go-No-Go
Test.

2. Activate any enrolled SiX transmitter in your hand. Listen
for the panel to beep and acknowledge the fault.

3. With the enrolled transmitter in your hand continue to
fault/restore it as you walk further from the controller until
the panel stops acknowledging it. This is the ideal
mounting location for the SiXPTR.

4. Mount the SiXREPEATER in this location following the
guidelines below.

MOUNTING

NOTE: for best results mount the SiXREPEATER 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.

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 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.

ENROLLING

1. To enroll the device, use the programming app. When prompted for MAC ID, activate the device by powering up or, if
already powered, press the tamper switch.

On the SiXREPEATER, power up:

2.

• Power LED flashes for approximately 20 seconds

• Power LED turns on

• Power LED turns on for 3-seconds

• SiXREPEATER sends the information to the control and the MAC ID displays

NOTES:

• Once enrolled in a system, the SiXREPEATER cannot be used with another controller until it is removed from the current
controller. See the Controller’s instructions for details.

• Enrollment time varies depending on the signal strength between the device and the controller. When done, Power LED is ON
for 3 seconds and the control beeps to confirm enrollment.

24-HOUR ENROLLMENT DELETION AND DEFAULT

If the device is enrolled in a controller different than the intended controller, and you are unable to delete it from the unintended
controller, default the device to factory default setting:

1. Open the cover and verify device is powered on.

2. Press and hold the tamper switch for 20 seconds.

3. The Green enrollment LED rapidly flashes and the SiXREPEATER defaults.
This procedure is available for 24 hours after enrollment with a panel and the device remains powered (battery installed).

TAMPER/LOW BATTERY REPORTING

The SiXREPEATER reports this condition to the control. If a low
battery or tamper condition exists, the enrolled zone used for the
SiXREPEATER shows a trouble on the control.

IMPORTANT!
The first battery test occurs one hour after power up. To

quickly verify a good backup battery, unplug and then plug
back in the power supply; the system will perform a battery
test within one minute.

SUPERVISION

If module supervision is desired, assign the SiXREPEATER’s
enrolled zone to a supervisory zone type. This sends check-in,
low battery, AC loss, and RF jam messages. See “Enrolling”
section.

Program the zone configuration as follows:

Zone Type Input Type Loop

8 (24-hour aux) 3 (supervised RF) 1

NOTES:

• The SiXREPEATER reports AC loss and RF jam
conditions as “low battery” status, which is also
displayed on the control’s keypads. This prevents either
condition from causing an alarm when the control is
armed.

• The SiXREPEATER does not repeat a message that
has already been repeated.

• If an actual low battery condition is reported, it takes up
to 12 hours after AC power is restored for the low
battery restore message to be sent (requires 12 hours
for fully recharged battery).
