The purpose of the Qui k B ridge® Euro Repeater SA W is to extend the range of wireless security
systems. The repeater accomplishes this by receiving and retransmitting signals from Learn
Mode™ sensors, wireless touchpads, and other repeaters. The repeater is ideal for the following
applications:
•Installations where sensors are either beyond panel reception or cannot pass the sensor test.
•As a substitute for preamps in installations where panel antennas ar e shielded by metal.
The repeater will retransmit all signals received from compatible sensors and wireless touchpads
(see “Compatibility”). It will retransmit signals received from another Euro Repeater SAW if the
DIP switches of both repeaters have been set accordingly (see “Setting the DIP Switches”).
Repeater Features
Repeater features include:
•Supervisory reports to the panel every 15 minutes.
•A tamper switch that causes an alarm transmission if the repeater cover is removed.
•A tamper alarm if the antenna is removed.
•Support for a rechargeable lead acid backup battery.
•A loop-antenna receiver, which improves reception through spatial diversity.
•A low battery trouble report when the backup battery is low.
•An AC power failure alarm when AC power has failed for more than 15 minutes.
•Jam detection, which alerts the panel when the receiver detects “noise” on the same frequency that the transmitters use for alarm transmissions.

Powering Options
The repeater must be hardwired into the
electrical system of the premises. Electrical codes will vary depending upon the
country and city where the system is
installed. Have a qualified person connect
the 220-240VAC (50 Hz) power cable to
the power input terminal as shown in Figure 1. A minimum of 14-gauge power
wire must be used. The power wires
should not be routed near the receiver circuitry on the top of the circuit board.
Note
The repeater does not hav e a power switch.
A readily accessible power disconnect
device must be incorporated in the building installation wiring to comply with local safety standards.
A 12 VDC lead acid battery, such as the Panasonic LCR12V1.3P, may be installed as a backup
power source. Connect the battery to the circuit board as shown in Figure 1. The term inals of the
battery should face towards the right side of the enclosure (see Figure 2).
There is a risk of explosion if an incorrect type of battery is installed.

Components
Operation
DIP Switches
There are 8 DIP switches (numbered 1–8 fr om le ft to right) on the repeater circui t board (see Figure 3). DIP switch functions include:
•Setting the repeater identification number
•Enabling (or disabling) jam detecti on and AC power failure
reports
•Configuring the repeater to work with your panel.
A DIP switch is “ON” when flipped left (toward the word “ON”)
or “OFF” when flipped right. The repeater will only “read” the
DIP switches upon power-up.

Fuse Replacement
The fuse holder is located above the terminal block (see Figure 2). To replace the fuse:
1. Unscrew the top of the fuse holder with a standard screwdriver. Remove the fuse.
2. Insert the new 5 x 20 mm, 32 mA, 250 V fuse into the top of the fuse holder.
3. Insert the fuse and top into the holder and reattach by pressing down and turning clockwise.
Install this repeater by completing these steps in the following order:
1. Perform a Dealer Sensor test to determine which transmitters need a repeater.
2. Connect the antenna.
3. Set the DIP switches on this repeater:
a. Set the repeater identification number.
b. Configure the repeater to work with your panel.
4. Connect power.
5. Program the repeater into the panel.
6. Choose a location and temporarily mount the repeater.
7. Perform a Dealer Sensor Test between the repeater and the panel (or the receiving repeater).
8. Perform a Repeater Reception Test between the repeater and the transmitters (e.g. sensors,
touchpads, or a transmitting repeater).
9. If both tests are successful, permanently mount the r epeater. If either test fails, go back to step
6.
Installing
Repeaters
Perform a Dealer Sensor Test
The first step of the installation is to determine which sensors and touchpads are “dis tant.” Distant
sensors are outside th e rang e of the control panel, so they need a repeater to re-transmit the alarm
and supervisory signals they generate.
¾
To determine which sensors and touchpads need a repeater:
1. Mount the sensors and touchpads in the desired locations.
3Quik Bridge® Euro Repeater SAW Installation Instructions
Page 4
2. Remove power from any repeaters that are already installed.
-
3. Perform a Dealer Sensor Test. This test checks the communication link between the control
panel and the transmitters (e.g., sensors and touchpads). Refer to the panel installation manual
for the Dealer Sensor Test procedure.
If all of the system sensors and touchpads pass this test, a repeater is not necessary with the
system. Distant sensors, however, will need to have their signals retransmitted by one or more
repeaters.
Note
Keep track of which transmitters are “distant.” You will need to perform a Repeater Reception Test for
these transmitters.
Mounting the Repeater in the Housing
¾ To mount the repeater in the housing:
1. Press the threaded inserts into the four mounting holes at the top of the repeater housing.
2. Secure the inserts into the mounting holes with a small punch or scr e wdriver.
3. Place the repeater over the mounting holes in the housing.
4. Attach the circuit board to the housing with the mounting screws and plastic washers.
Connecting the Antenna to the
Repeater
¾ To connect the antenna to the repeater:
1. Loosen the inside terminals of the left and right
antenna terminal blocks.
2. Insert the ends of the loop antenna into the predrilled holes.
3. Insert one end of the antenna into each inside
terminal.
4. Tighten down the terminal screws (see Figure
4).

Setting the DIP Switches
You must set the DIP switches on the repeater circuit board to set the repeater identification
number, to enable or disable supervisory
report transmission, and to configure the repeater
for compatibility with your control panel.
¾
To set the repeater identification number:
1. Remove power from the repeater and disconnect the battery.
Note
The repeater only “reads” th e di p sw i tch settings when power is firs t appl i ed. When you change dip
switch settings, you m ust re m ove power and then re-po w er th e re peater so it can “read” the new settings.
2. Set DIP switches 1-5 to a unique, non-zero repeater identification number (see Figure 4).
Euro Repeater SAW signals “cascade” toward the panel in descending order. Therefore, the
repeater identification number at the receiving or destination repeater must be less than the
repeater identification number of the transmitting or source repeater. For example, repeater “two”
will recognize signals transmitted from repeater “three,” because 3 is greater than 2. Repeater
“two” will not recognize signals transmitted from repeater “one” because 1 is less than 2. Refer to
the installation example at the end of this document (see Figure 8).
If fewer than 16 intelligent mode repeaters are needed for the system, plan to assign only even
numbers to the repeaters. This method allows for an additional repeater to be retro-fitted between
two cascaded repeaters, if necessary.
¾
To configure the repeater to your control panel:
1. To use the repeater with the Euro Commander or the Euro SX-V Special, set DIP switch 8 to
the ON position.

Programming the Repeater into the panel
Before the panel can supervise the repeater, the repeater must be programmed into panel memory.
To program the repeater into the panel:
¾
1. Refer to the panel installation instructions for the sensor pro-
gramming procedure.
2. When the panel prompts you for a group number, we recom-
mend that you use group number 4. Group number 4 supervises the repeater and causes an instant alarm if the tamper is
tripped.
3. Trip one of the r epeater tamper switches wh en the procedure
prompts you for sensor activation.
To trip the antenna tamper, remove one end of the antenna
from its terminal.
To trip the cover tamper switch, the switch must first be
closed. T o clo se the switch, insert a wire jumper between the
terminals of the cover tamper switch as shown in Figure 6.
To trip the switch, remove the jumper.

Choosing a Location for the Repeater
¾ To select a mounting location for a repeater, use the following guidelines
•After a location has been selected, temporarily mount the repeater using a piece of doublesided tape or a single mounting screw (see “Mounting the Repeater”). You may need to test
the transmitter and receiver in several locations before you permanently mount the repeater.
•Select a location with access to 220-240VAC power.
•If this repeater transmits directly to the panel, locate it between the panel and the distant transmitters (but within panel reception range).
•If this repeater transmits to another repeater, locate this repeater between the receiving
repeater and the distant transmitters (but within the reception range of the receiving repeater).
Testing the Repeater Transmitter
After the repeater is temporarily mounted, perform a Dealer Sensor Test to determine whether or
not the signals sent by this repeater are received by the control panel. If the repeater passes this
test, skip to “DOOR/WINDOW SENSORS.”
If the repeater fails this test, it is too far from the control panel and must be relocated. Move the
repeater to a new location perform another Dealer Sensor Test. Continue until the repeater passes
this test.
Note
If this repeater will be transmitting to another repeater, perform a Repeater Reception Test on the destination repeater to ensur e t hat th e si gnals from this repeater ar e re cei ved. If the destination r epeater
does not receive the signals from this repeater, move this repeater to a new location and try again. Continue until the destination r epeater can receive signals from this repeater.
Testing a Repeater Receiver
Distant transmitters (i.e., any transmitter that failed the Dealer Sensor Test) must pass this test.
This test checks the communication link between a transmitter (e.g., sensor or touchpad) and the
repeater that will re-transmit its signal.
Note
This test requires two peo ple. O ne person must activate (trip) th e transmitter while another person
observes the repeater LED .
¾ To perform a repeater reception test:
1. Take the cover off this repeater so you can observe the LED.
2. For sensors with a tamper switch, remove the cover from the sensor to cause an alarm transmission. The repeater LED should flash 7-8 times (indicating reception of the alarm signal).
or-- For sensors without a tamper switch, activate an alarm. The repeater LED should flash 7–8
times.
or-- For panic buttons, hold down the button for 5 seconds and release it. The repeater LED
should flash 14–16 times.
or-- For touchpads, hold down an emergency button for 5 seconds, then release it. The repeater
LED should flash 7–8 times.
or-- If this repeater will receive signals from another repeater, hold down the tamper switch of the
transmitting repeater for 5 seconds and release it. The LED of this repeater shoul d flash 14–
16 times in order to pass this test.
3. If any one of the distant transmitters fails this test, relocate the repeater and retest both the
repeater transmitter and receiver.
or--Consider installing additional repeaters.
Adding Additional Repeaters
If there are distant sensors that are not within the reception range of this repeater, you must add
additional repeaters to the system. Perform the above installation procedure for each repeater,
assigning appropriate repeater identification numbers to ensure a “cascade” of repeated signals
(see “Setting the DIP Switches”).

Installation
Example
Install the control panel and sensors
1. Install the control panel.
2. Add (“learn”) sensors 1–8 into the control
panel memory, then mount them.
3. Determine which sensors are “distant” (outside the control panel reception range) by
performing a Dealer Sensor Test on all of
the sensors.
In this example, sensors 3–8 were determined
to be distant sensors.
Add a repeater to the system
4. Add (“learn”) repeater 1 into the control
panel memory.
5. Place repeater 1 between the control panel
and a group of distant sensors
For this example, sensors 3 and 4 were chosen
for use with repeater 1.
6. Remove power from the repeater and s et the
repeater identification number to “two” (set
the DIPs on repeater 1 to 0100000, as
shown in Figure 5).
