INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS
Product Summary
The purpose of the Quik Bridge Learn Mode Repeater
is to receive and retransmit signals from Learn Mode
sensors, wireless touchpads, and other repeaters. The
repeater is ideal for the following applications:
n Installations where sensors are beyond panel
reception or fail sensor test.
n As a substitute for preamps in installations where
panel antennas are shielded by metal.
The repeater may be used in one of the following
modes:
Intelligent mode: In this mode, the repeater retrans-
mits signals received from sensors, wireless touchpads, and intelligent mode repeaters that have been
“learned” into the repeater memory. An intelligent
mode repeater may “learn” a maximum of 16 sensors/
touchpads and 2 intelligent mode repeaters.
Sensor mode: In this mode, the repeater will retransmit all signals received from sensors and wireless
touchpads but will not retransmit signals received
from other repeaters.

Overview of Repeater Operation
DIP Switches
There are 8 DIP switches (numbered 1–8 from left to
right) on the repeater circuit board that are used to do
the following:
n Set the repeater mode for sensor or intelligent
mode.
n Configure the repeater for “learning” and delet-
ing sensors (intelligent mode only).
n Enable or disable low battery reporting.
n Enable or disable AC power failure reporting.
A DIP switch is “ON” when flipped up towards the
antennas or “OFF” when flipped down. The repeater
will only “read” the DIP switches when the tamper
switch is activated or upon power-up.
Certain DIP switch settings are not valid. For example, setting the DIP switches for “learning” or deleting
sensors while in sensor repeat mode will make the
DIP settings invalid. The LED blinks con tinuously
while DIP switch settings are not valid until the
repeater is powered down and powered up with a
valid setting.
LED Indications
The purpose of the LED is to indicate certain actions
of the repeater. Table 1 describes all possible LED
indications:

Intelligent mode repeater is deleting all transmitters from memory.
LED may continue flashing for up
to 10 seconds after another mode
is selected with the DIP switches.
Modes of Operat ion
The repeater may be used in one of two modes: intelligent mode and sensor mode.
Intelligent Mode
The intelligent mode is the recommended mode of
operation. In this mode, the repeater only retransmits
signals received from sensors, touchpads, and intelligent mode repeaters that are “learned” into memory.
A maximum of 16 sensors/touchpads and 2 intelligent
mode repeaters may be learned into an intelligent
mode repeater.
Intelligent mode repeaters provide special features for
“learning” and deleting transmitters.
The advantages to using repeaters in intelligent mode
include the following:
n The range of the system can be increased by add-
ing additional intelligent mod e rep eaters. A maximum of 31 intelligent mode repeaters may be
cascaded within a system.
n Intelligent mode repeaters retransmit signals
from “learned” transmitters, which reduce RF
traffic.

Sensor Mode
In sensor mode the repeater retransmits signals
received from all sensors and touchpads but does not
retransmit signals from other repeaters . Avoid installing more than one sensor mode repeater per system.
Sensor mode repeaters must be installed within panel
reception because their signals cannot be repeated.
Page 3
Quik Bridge Learn Mode Repeater
The only advantage of u sing a repeater in sensor mode
rather than in intelligent mode is that sensors and
touchpads are not “learned,” which reduces installation time.
Testing the Transmitter and Receiver
T wo tests must be performed during the installation to
insure that each transmitter (sensor, touchpad, or
repeater) is received by the intended receiver (control
panel or repeater).
Note: It takes two people to perform the following tests
because of the distan ces bet w een devices.
Dealer Sensor Test
This test checks the communication link between the
control panel and the transmitters (sensors, touchpads,
and repeaters). The transmitters have to be “learned”
into the panel before this test is performed.
Transmitters do not have to pass this test if their signals are received and retransmitted by a repeater.
Refer to the particular panel installation manual for
the Dealer Sensor Test procedure.
Repeater Reception Test
This test checks the communication link between a
repeater and other transmitters. The repeater LED
blinks for each transmission (packet) received from a
sensor, touchpad, or repeater.
Note: One person must act iv at e ( tr i p) the transmitter
while another person counts the number of LED
blinks at the
For intelligent mode repeaters, the transmitters should
not be “learned” into the repeater before this test is
performed.
All transmitters that fail the Dealer Sensor Test must
pass this test for the receiving repeater.
To perform a repeater reception test:
1) Take the cover off of the receiving repeater.
2) For sensors with a tamper switch, remove the
cover from the sensor. This causes an alarm transmission and the repeater should receive 7– 8 p ackets (indicated by 7–8 LED flashes) in order to
pass this test.
or-- For sensors without a tamper switch, activate an
alarm. The repeater should receive 7–8 packets
(indicated by 7–8 LED flashes) in order to pass

this test.
or-- For panic buttons, hold down the button for 5 sec-
onds and release it. The repeater should receive
14–16 packets (indicated by 14–16 LED flashes)
in order to pass this test.
or-- For touchpads, hold down an emergenc y button
for 5 seconds and release it. The repeater should
receive 7–8 packets (indicated by 7–8 LED
flashes) in order to pass this test.
or-- For intelligent mode repeaters, hold down th e
tamper switch for 5 seconds and release it. The
receiving repeater should receive 14–16 packets
(indicated by 14–16 LED flashes) in order t o pass
this test.

Installing Repeaters
Determine Which Transmitters Need a Repeater
The first step of the installation is to determine which
sensors and touchpads need their signals repeated.
To determine which sensors and touchpads need a
repeater:
1) “Learn” all of the system sensors and touchpads into the control panel.
2) Mount the sensors and touchpads in the desired locations.
3) Remove power from all repeaters.
4) Perform a Dealer Sensor Test on all of the system sensors and touchpads.
If all of the system sensors and touchpads pass
this test, a repeater is not necessary with the system. Sensors and touchpads that fail this test will
need their signals retransmitted by one or more
repeaters. Keep track of which transmitters are
distant because only the distant transmitters have
to be tested with the repeater receiver.
5) Set all of the DIP switches to the OFF position for now.

Connecting Power
The three methods for providing power to the repeater
are:
n A 9–16.5 VAC Class II Transformer with a mini-
mum 2 VA rating, when not using a backup battery (see Figure 2).
For example, 9 VAC Class II Transformer, 15 VA
UL (60-515) or 9 VAC Class II Transformer, 15
VA CSA (60-516).
Connecting Antennas to the Repeater
To connect antennas to the repeater:
1) Remove the cover by pressing down on the top
center of the cover, and pull it away from the base
(see Figure 5).
2) Loosen the inside terminals of the left and right antenna terminal blocks.
3) Insert an antenna into each inside terminal.
4) Tighten down the terminal screws (see Figure 1).

1) Refer to the panel installation instructions for the sensor programming procedure.
2) When the panel prompts you for a gr oup num ber,
we recommend that you use group number 4.
Group number 4 supervises the repeater and
causes an instant alarm if the tamper is tripped.
3) Trip the repeater tamper when the procedure prompts for the sensor activation.
Installing an Intelligent Mode Repeater
This section describes how to install a single intelligent mode repeater. By performing the tests described
in this section, you can determine if additional repeaters are necessary . Repeat the installation procedure for
each intelligent mode repeater you add to the system.
If you are installing a sensor mode repeater, skip to
“Installing a Sensor Mode Repeater.”
Setting the Repeater Number for Intelligent Repeat Mode
1) Set DIP switches 4-8 to a unique, non-zero repeater number (see Table 3).
To connect a transformer:
1) Run a 2-conductor, stranded, 12– 22 gauge wire to make the connections.
2) Connect the wires to repeater terminals 3 and 4 (see Figure 2 or 3).
3) Connect the other end to the two terminals on the AC transformer.
4) Plug the transformer into a n on-switched outlet.
5) Check the status of the green LED on the repeater.
To connect the battery or DC power supply:
1) Run a 2-conductor, stranded, 12–22 gaug e wire to make the connections.
2) Connect the wires to repeater terminals 1 and 2 (see Figure 3 or 4).
3) Connect the other end to the battery or DC power supply.
Note: When “learning” rep eat er s i nt o ot he r repeaters,
the repeater number a t the de st i nat i on rep eat er
must be less than the re peater number of the
source repeater. For example, you can “learn”
repeater 2 into repeater 1, because 2 is greater
than 1. Refer to the instal l at i on example at the
end of this document (see Figure 8) and note that
intelligent mode repeaters “cascade” toward the
panel in descending order.
Note: If fewer than 16 i ntelligent 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 re tro-fitted between
two cascaded repeaters, if necessary.
2) Set DIP switches 1–3 to the OFF position (see Table 2).

“Learning” an Intelligent Mode Repeater into another Intelligent Mode Repeater
If this intelligent mode repeater transmits directly to
the panel, skip to “Choosing a Location for an Intelligent Mode Repeater.”
If the signals from this repeater need to be r epeated by
another (destination) repeater, then “learn” this
repeater into the destination repeater.
To “learn” a source intelligent mode repeater into
a destination intelligent mode repeater:
1) Set the DIP switches on the destination repeater for “learn” transmitters (see Table 4).
2) Activate the tamper switch on the destination
repeater that is about to “learn” transmitters to
configure the repeater for “learning.”
3) Activate the tamper switch on the source repeater.
4) After “learning” the repeater(s), set DIP switches 1–3 back to the OFF position.
5) Activate the tamper switch on the destination
repeater. This causes the repeater to stop “learn-
ing” transmitters.

Choosing a Location for an Intelligent Mode Repeater
To select a mounting location for an intelligent
mode repeater, use the following guidelines.
n Before permanently mounting, test the repeater
transmitter and receiver in several locations.
n Select a location that has access to an AC outlet
or DC power supply.
n If this repeater transmits directly to the panel,
locate it between the panel and distant transmitters but within panel reception.
n If this repeater is being repeated by other repeat-
ers, locate it between the destination repeater and
distant transmitters but within repeater reception.
Note: After a location has been sel ec t ed, te m por ar i ly
mount the repeater using a piece of double-sided
tape or a single mount i ng screw (refer to “Mo unt ing the Repeater”). This allows you to test the
repeater transmit te r and receiver at the loc at i on
before permanently mounting.

To test signals sent to another intelligent mode
repeater:
n Perform a Repeater Reception Test to determine
whether or not these signals are received by the
destination repeater.
If the repeater passes this test, skip to “T esting the Intelligent Mode Repeater Receiver.”
If the repeater fails this test, it is located too far
from the destination repeater and must be relo-
cated closer
. Repeat until the repeater p asses this test.
Testing an Intelligent Mode Repeater Receiver
To test an intelligent mode repeater receiver:
1) Test the repeater receiver by performing a
Repeater Reception Test on the distant sensors
and touchpads . This test indicates which sensors
and touchpads may be “learned” into this
repeater. Only sensors and touchpads that pass
this test should be “learned” into this repeater. If
any one of the distant sensors or touchpads fail
this test, do one of the following:
n Relocate the intelligent mode repeater and repeat
the procedure for testing the repeater transmitter
and receiver.
n “Learn” the sensors and touchpads that passed
this test and use additional intellig ent mode
repeaters.
“Learning” Transmitters into an Intelligent Mode Repeater
Testing an Intelligent Mode Repeater Transmitter
After the repeater is temporarily mounted, perform the
appropriate test to determine if the signals transmitted
by the repeater are received by the intended receiver
(control panel or another intelligent mode repeater).
To test signals sent directly to the control panel:
n Perform a Dealer Sensor Test to determine
whether or not the signals are received by the
control panel.
If the repeater passes this test, skip to “Testing the Intelligent Mode Repeater Receiver.”
If the repeater fails this test, it is located too far
from the control panel and must be relocated
Sensors and touchpads that passed the repeater recep-
tion test should be “learned” into the repeater.
To “learn” sensors and touchpads into an intelligent mode r epeater:
1) Set the DIP switches on the repeater to “learn” transmitter (see Table 4).
2) Activate the tamper switch on the repeater that is
about to “learn” transmitters to configure the
