Product Summary

*(,QWHUORJL[

The Node Repeater reduces wireless traffic and extends the rang e of GE Interlo gix wireless systems. It receives signals from GE Interlogix 319.5MHz sensors, then retransmits them if necessary. The Node Repeater incorporates a 900MHz transmitter for increased range.

The Repeater allows enrollment of up to 128 sensors. Only enrolled sensors are monitored and repeated. Sensors are enrolled into the Node Repeater using either a pers onal computer interface or a pair of on-board DIP switches.

Power is supplied to the Node Repeater via a 16.5VAC Class 2 transformer. A 12V lead acid battery provides backup power.

Repeater Features:

• Regular supervisory reports to the panel

• A tamper switch that causes an alarm transmission if the cover is removed.

• A tamper switch that causes an alarm transmission if the unit is removed from the

• wall.

• Antenna tamper monitoring, causing an alarm transmission if the antennas are cut.

• Dual receive antennas, which provides improved reception through spatial

•diversity.

• Receiver jam detection, with an alarm transmission if jam is detected.

• Sensor enrollment using either a PC or DIP switch interface.

• Support for a rechargeable lead acid backup battery.

• Battery monitoring, with an alarm transmission if the battery is low.

• AC power monitoring, with an alarm transmission if the power has failed for

• more than 15 minutes.

• Encryption of sensitive data. Compatibility

• All GE Interlogix 80-bit sensors at 319.5MHz

• GE Interlogix Learn Mode panic s ensors at 31 9.5MHz

Overview of Repeater Components Operation

DIP Switches There are two DIP switches in the lower left corner of the board. These switches are used

for enrollm ent and deletion of sensors. The following table shows the modes of operation based on switch settings, with 0 = Off and 1 = On. These mo des are discus sed further in the section on enrollment below.

Table 1: Dip Switch Settings SW 1 SW 2 Mode 0 0 Normal Operation 0 1 Delete Individual Sensor 1 0 Enroll Individual Sensor 1 1 Delete All Sensors

LED Indications

The purpose of the LEDs is to describe certain actions of the repeater. Tables 1 and 2 describe all possible LED indications.

Table 2: Green LED Indications Green LED Indication On Repeater is powered up and passed self tests Off Repeater is not powered or failed to power up successfully Short Blink Off Repeater received a packet from a sensor

Off No Activity 00 Short Blink On Repeater received a packet from an enrolled sensor 01 Off No Activity 01 Long Blink On Repeater received an enrollment-type packet from an enrolled sensor and has deleted that sensor from memory. 10 Off No Activity 10 Long Blink On Repeater received an enrollment-type packet from an unenrolled sensor and has enrolled that sensor into memory. 11 Constant Blinking DIP switches are set to “delete all” mode, but repeater is awaiting a press and release of the tamper switch before it does the deletion. 11 Long Blink On Repeater has detected a press and release of the tamper switch and deleted all sensors from memory

Installation Overview

There are two basic installation methods, depending on whether the enrollment of sensors is to be done using a pers onal computer (P C) or the D IP switches. Note that a P C is required for initial configuration regardless of the method of sensor enrollment. The following are the basic steps of each method. The steps are described more fully in later sections.

Installation using a PC

1. Mount the repeater board in the enclosure.
