inELS RFRP-20N Repeater To Extend The Range

Characteristics

Radio frequency signal repeater.
This signal repeater is used to extend the range between the controller and unit by up to 200 meters.
It is designed to transmit a signal to up to 20 units.
Thanks to the socket design, installation is simple by direct insertion into the existing socket, the through socket function remains unchanged.
Indication:
- green LED – supply voltage.
- red LED – active status (receiving and transmitting an RF signal).
Programming is performed by a button.
Communication frequency with bidirectional protocol iNELS RF Control.
Produced in 5 designs of sockets and plugs.

Indication, manual control

Green LED – stays lit upon connecting the supply voltage.

Red LED STATUS – active status (receiving and sending the RF signal).
Programming is performed using the PROG button.

LED indication during programming:

the red LED is not illuminated, the green LED fl ashes
the red LED is illuminated, the green LED fl ashe3
the red LED is not illuminated, the green LED illuminated
the red LED fl ashes, the green LED is not illuminated
the red LED is illuminated, the green LED is not illuminated
no LED is illuminated.

Programming with RF transmitters

RF transmitters can communicate via RFRP-20 with RF actuators.
RF transmitters do not have an address, meaning that it is possible to program into the RFRP-20 only by sending a signal by pressing a button.

Activation of programming modes

When inserting the RFRP-20 into an electrical socket, the programming button must be pressed. The green LED fl ashes. Then when the red LED button illuminates, release the button. Now it is possible to switch between modes that you want to activate by short presses of the button on the RFRP-20.
If within 5s, the RFRP-20 does not switch by a short press into the additional learning mode, it returns to the operating mode, and the green LED illuminates

Tutoring mode

After pressing the button, the red LED fl ashes – after 5 seconds the RFRP-20 enters the “additional learning” mode, and the red LED stops fl ashing. Addresses already written in the memory are retained, and further programming adding to them can continue. Flashing of the green LED indicates that a new address has been recorded in the memory.
The additional learning mode can be ended at any time by briefl y pressing the programming button. By doing so, the addresses are stored in the memory. The red LED will fl ash for 1 second, then the LED will remain illuminated. RFRP- 20returns to the operating mode.

Learning mode

After pressing the button, the red LED illuminates – after 5 seconds the RFRP-20 enters the “learning” mode, and the red LED goes out. By doing so, the entire memory is erased and you can begin to program. A fl ashing green LED indicates that an address has been recorded in the memory.
The learning mode can be ended at any time by briefl y pressing the programming button. By doing so, the addresses are stored in the memory. The red LED fl ashes for 1s and the green LED illuminates. RFRP-20 returns to the operating mode. Full memory: the red LED flashes for 1s and the green LED starts to illuminate, the learning mode ends and the RFRP-20 automatically switches to the operating mode.
Important: the learning mode is necessary to use when first programming addresses.

Operating mode

After pressing the button, the green LED fl ashes – after 5 seconds, the RFRP-20 enters the operating mode. The green LED illuminates.

Programming with RF control units

An address listed on individual actuators and modifi ed by an off set is used for programming RF actuators with RF control units via the RFRP-20.
Programming with the RF control units is described in detail in the instruction manuals of RF control units.

Table for importing RF addresses

Example:
Address of the unit: 157600
Modifi ed address: 957600

RF actuators

Programming RF actuators with RF control units (RF Touch, RF Pilot, RFTC-10/G, RFTC-50/G) via the RFRP-20

Programming

On the control unit, the address of the required actuator is requested, modifi ed by an off set (see instruction manual of the RF control unit).

When inserting the RFRP-20 into an electrical socket (upon power-up), the programming button must be pressed. The green LED fl ashes. Then when the red LED button illuminates, release the button.

By two short presses of the programming button on the RFRP-20, it moves to the position for input into the learning mode. The red LED illuminates – after 5s RFRP-20, it enters the learning mode. The LED goes out. The entire memory is thereby deleted.

By one short press of the programming button on the RFRP-20, you moveto the position for input into the additional learning mode. The red LED fl ashes – after 5s the RFRP-20 enters the additional learning mode. The LED stops flashing. Addresses already written in the memory remain and further programming with them can continue.

RF communication is called up with the required actuator (the RF control unit sends an impulse to the given actuator). The RFRP20 stores the address in the memory.

Programming the RFTI-10B (RFTC-10/G) RF with the control unit RF Touch via the RFRP-20.

On the RF Touch, the address is requested of the required monitoring actuator RFTI-10B (RFTC-10/G), modified by an offset.

When inserting the RFRP-20 into an electrical socket (upon power-up), the programming button must be pressed. The green LED flashes. Then when the red LED button illuminates, release the button.

By two short presses of the programming button on the RFRP-20, it moves to the position for input into the learning mode. The red LED illuminates – after 5s RFRP-20, it enters the learning mode. The LED goes out. The entire memory is thereby deleted.

By one short press of the programming button on the RFRP-20, you move to the position for input into the additional learning mode. The red LED flashes -after 5s the RFRP-20 enters the additional learning mode. The LED stops flashing. Addresses already written in the memory remain and further programming with them can continue.

Insert battery CR2477 into the battery holder of the actuator RFTI-10B (see instruction manual for RFTI-10B). This initiates communication between RFTI10B and RF Touch. The RFRP20 stores the address in the memory

Additional information

RFRP-20 cannot be placed in a series in order to increase range – communication between the RF transmitter and RF actuator can go only through a single repeater. Multiple RFRP-20s can be used in a system, but the same address can be programmed only in a single repeater. If the same address were programmed into multiple RFRP-20s, mutual interference of individual RFRP-20s could occur along with feedback (the RFRP-20s would send a command to each other, which would not be relayed by the RF transmitter, leading to zone congestion and failure of the entire RF system). When programming the RFRP-20, the risk exists of programming RF transmitters also from a different RF system within range of the RF signal – e.g. from a neighboring building. Make sure that in the time of programming within the range of the RFRP-20, no other RF transmitters than the one you are programming happen to be transmitting.

Warning

Instruction manual is designated for mounting and also for user of the device. It is always a part of its packing. Installation and connection can be carried out only by a person with adequate professional qualification upon understanding this instruction manual and functions of the device, and while observing all valid regulations. Trouble-free function of the device also depends on transportation, storing and handling. In case you notice any sign of damage, deformation, malfunction or missing part, do not install this device and return it to its seller. It is necessary to treat this product and its parts as electronic waste after its lifetime is terminated. Before starting installation, make sure that all wires, connected parts or terminals are de-energized. While mounting and servicing observe safety regulations, norms, directives and professional, and export regulations for working with electrical devices. Do not touch parts of the device that are energized – life threat. Due to transmissivity of RF signal, observe correct location of RF components in a building where the installation is taking place. RF Control is designated only for mounting in interiors. Devices are not designated for installation into exteriors and humid spaces. The must not be installed into metal switchboards and into plastic switchboards with metal door – transmissivity of RF signal is then impossible. RF Control is not recommended for pulleys etc. – radiofrequency signal can be shielded by an obstruction, interfered, battery of the transceiver can get fl at etc. and thus disable remote control.
